Jessica and Angus were married in a simple daytime wedding at the Kampong Gardens in Coral Gables, Florida, with a live band playing throughout the celebration. Acromatico, a family-run South Florida and New York City photography studio founded in 2004, photographed the day and an engagement session held only weeks before.
Acromatico met Jessica and Angus during an engagement session held only weeks before their wedding. The two were married in a sweet, simple daytime celebration at the Kampong Gardens in Coral Gables, Florida, with a live band performing for the couple and their guests.
Acromatico photographed both the engagement session and the wedding day itself. The studio shared its favorite images from the celebration, with thanks to Lana and Vanessa for their work on the wedding.
“The day couldn't have been more perfect for this wedding at the Kampong Gardens in Coral Gables.”
Good to know
The Kampong is a historic tropical botanical garden in the Coconut Grove neighborhood of Miami, Florida, set along Biscayne Bay. It is one of five gardens of the National Tropical Botanical Garden and the only one in the continental United States, originally the home and plant collection of plant explorer David Fairchild. Its mature tropical and flowering trees make it a naturally green, sheltered setting for intimate daytime ceremonies and garden receptions.
Because The Kampong is a working botanical garden and preservation site, couples typically arrange events directly with the garden and plan around its grounds and bayfront. A daytime ceremony, like Jessica and Angus's, takes full advantage of the natural canopy light filtering through the trees. For couples searching for a Kampong wedding photographer, the practical considerations are the same as most South Florida garden venues: shade, humidity, and changing light across the day all reward a photographer who already knows the grounds.
