Jane and Denzel married at the Lightner Museum in St. Augustine, Florida, on April 5, 2022, in a destination wedding photographed by Acromatico. The day began at the Embassy Suites by Hilton St. Augustine Beach Oceanfront Resort, a year after the couple got engaged at the Secret Gardens in Miami.
Jane and Denzel ("Dez") were married on April 5, 2022, at the Lightner Museum in St. Augustine, Florida — exactly one year after they got engaged at the Secret Gardens in Miami. Acromatico photographed the destination wedding, and the day started at the Embassy Suites by Hilton St. Augustine Beach Oceanfront Resort, which the team enjoyed for its beach view and resort-style pool.
This was a day Acromatico described as taking more photographs than any wedding in its history. The couple's families — especially the parents and siblings — made the studio feel like part of the family, the kind of clients who truly appreciate photography. The studio called Jane one of the most stunning brides they have ever photographed, and Denzel one of the sweetest people they have met: completely in love with Jane, supportive throughout the entire process, and attentive to everyone around him.
“After 20 years of creating moments and memories for beautiful people, I don't think that we've ever taken so many photos in any wedding, ever!”
Good to know
The Lightner Museum sits in downtown St. Augustine, Florida, inside the former Hotel Alcazar — a Spanish Renaissance Revival building commissioned by Henry Flagler and opened in 1888. It faces King Street across from Flagler College (the former Hotel Ponce de Leon), placing it at the heart of the nation's oldest continuously occupied European-founded city. The building's arcaded courtyard, marble, and historic architecture make it a recognizable backdrop for weddings and events.
St. Augustine is roughly a 40-minute drive south of Jacksonville and its international airport (JAX), which makes it a practical destination-wedding base for out-of-town guests. Many couples, like Jane and Dez, pair the historic downtown ceremony venue with a coastal stay; the Embassy Suites by Hilton St. Augustine Beach Oceanfront Resort sits on Anastasia Island, a short drive east over the Bridge of Lions toward the Atlantic beaches. The compact, walkable historic district means getting-ready, ceremony, and photo locations can sit close together.
