Katrina and Keith were married on November 11, 2011 (11.11.11) at the DoubleTree Grand Biscayne in downtown Miami, Florida, photographed by Acromatico. The day was beautiful but windy — and that wind turned into some of the most dramatic veil shots of the celebration.
Katrina and Keith tied the knot on 11.11.11 — one of the most requested wedding dates Acromatico has ever booked — at the DoubleTree Grand Biscayne in Miami. The day was really beautiful, though it was a windy one. Rather than fight it, we used the wind to our advantage to capture the most dramatic veil shots of the day.
You may remember Katrina and Keith from their engagement session. The wedding itself was gorgeous, everybody really enjoyed themselves, and we wished the two of them all the best in the new journey they were beginning together.
“The day was really beautiful, but boy was it windy — so we used this to our advantage to get the most dramatic veil shots.”
Good to know
The DoubleTree by Hilton Grand Hotel Biscayne Bay sits along Biscayne Boulevard in downtown Miami, Florida, near the Edgewater and Arts & Entertainment District neighborhoods and within easy reach of the Biscayne Bay waterfront, the Adrienne Arsht Center, and Interstate 95. Its central location makes it a convenient base for out-of-town guests flying into Miami International Airport and for couples who want a downtown high-rise setting close to the bay.
One thing this wedding proved: Miami's open, breezy bayfront setting can mean wind on your wedding day. That isn't a problem with the right photographer — it's an opportunity. A gust through a veil, handled well, becomes the most dramatic frame in the gallery. If you're planning a downtown Miami wedding, build in a little flexibility for the weather and lean into what the location naturally gives you.
