Vanessa and Jordan were married in Miami, Florida, on a Thursday morning, surrounded by their close family and friends, before the whole group boarded a cruise ship to continue the celebration at sea. Acromatico, a family-run South Florida and New York City studio, photographed the day.
Vanessa and Jordan tied the knot in Miami with their closest family and friends, in a ceremony held on a Thursday morning rather than the usual weekend slot. For Acromatico, it was a wedding unlike the others on our calendar, and one we count among the one-of-a-kind days we have photographed.
What made it truly different came after the vows: the entire group jumped on a cruise to keep the celebration going, turning the reception into a voyage out from Miami. Not many couples get to hold their wedding reception on a cruise ship, but Vanessa and Jordan did exactly that. The gallery below collects some of our favorite frames from the morning.
“I mean, who gets to have their wedding reception on a cruise? Well, they did!”
Good to know
Miami sits on the southeastern coast of Florida, on the shores of Biscayne Bay and a short distance from the Atlantic Ocean. It is the seat of Miami-Dade County and one of the country's busiest gateways for cruise travel: PortMiami, on Dodge Island in Biscayne Bay just east of downtown, is among the world's largest cruise ports and is the reason a wedding party can exchange vows in the morning and sail the same day, exactly as Vanessa and Jordan did.
A Miami cruise wedding pairs a land ceremony with an at-sea celebration, so a few details matter. PortMiami is connected to downtown and Miami Beach by the MacArthur Causeway, and cruise lines set firm boarding cut-off times, which is part of why a weekday morning ceremony can make sense. If you are planning something similar and searching for a Miami wedding photographer, Acromatico is a family-run photography and brand studio founded in 2004, working across South Florida and New York City with a dark fine-art Brand Studio aesthetic.
