Lori and Ben were married at The Palms Hotel beachfront on Miami Beach, Florida, in a ceremony photographed by Acromatico. The two beach lovers — last seen in their sunrise-at-the-beach engagement session — chose the sand by the water for a sentimental day capped by a live band.
You might remember Lori and Ben from their sunrise-at-the-beach engagement session. True beach lovers, they chose to hold their wedding ceremony at the beautiful Miami Beach — precisely on the beachfront at The Palms Hotel. Lori walked down looking stunning, and the day was deeply sentimental: it was very hard for her father to let go of his daughter, a hard moment in which to contain the tears.
When the party got started, it was literally on fire thanks to an awesome live band that rocked the night. Acromatico photographed the ceremony and the celebration that followed — a few of the best frames from that night are gathered here.
“When the party got started it was literally on fire with the awesome live band that is. They rocked the party!”
Good to know
The Palms Hotel & Spa sits directly on the sand along Collins Avenue in the Mid-Beach stretch of Miami Beach, Florida, just north of the busier South Beach district. Its private beachfront makes it a natural setting for ceremonies held on the sand with the Atlantic Ocean as a backdrop, the same setting Lori and Ben chose for their vows.
Beach ceremonies on Miami Beach are shaped by the light and the weather: late-afternoon and golden-hour timing softens the harsh midday sun, and an oceanfront venue means planning around wind and tide. A waterfront property like The Palms keeps the ceremony, reception, and getting-ready spaces close together, which simplifies the timeline for couples and their photographers. Acromatico is a family-run photography and brand studio, founded in 2004 and working across South Florida and New York City.
