Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden wedding by Ryan Brenizer

We know we will vividly remember Sarah and Joseph’s wedding for the rest of our lives. It wasn’t just that Sarah and Jospeh leave an indelible mark on every person they meet. But this wedding stood on the brink of a precipice larger than any of us knew at the time, as our last wedding before the full effect of the Coronavirus pandemic hit the United States.

This wedding exemplified everything that we have missed so much about large weddings — the energy, the hilarity, the multitudes contained in a day that has both incredibly intimate love and commitment and loud, intense, hysterical celebration.

In a year where most of us have been separated from so many loved ones, it was a blessing to be a part of an awesome celebration like this. Special thanks to Masi Events who somehow amplified one of the most already gorgeous places in America - the Fairchild Botanic Gardens.

We were just down in Miami for Sara and Joseph’s amazing wedding at the Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden, and as soon as we started scouting it we had a problem: There were so many amazing spots that in a few minutes of looking around we got about eight hours worth of portrait ideas. But we made our own path and found this secret grove of banyan trees, knowing how much they both loved them, letting them enjoy a few minutes together before the lovely chaos of the wedding day began.

Thanks to planner Michael Masi for putting this amazing day together!
