I had been looking forward to this wedding day for a long time. After Patricia and Josh‘s unbelievably perfect engagement session, I knew their wedding would be even better!

Thomas and I headed down to Miami and arrived at Patricia’s family’s home just in time for the girls to finish getting ready. Patricia had her hair up in pincurls as she introduced us to the family. Throughout the morning, I was blown away by how beautiful Patricia looked!

After an hour, we were on our way to the venue. The Deering Estate is right along the water, looking out over the Biscayne Bay. The historic home is an environmental, archaeological and historical preserve. On top of all of that – it is absolutely stunning. We walked through a gorgeous tunnel of trees before we saw the beautiful stone building, surrounded by palm trees and greenery. I was in heaven!

Patricia and Josh opted to do a first look, and I’m so glad they did! Patricia walked up behind Josh and gave him a big hug. When Josh turned around, he gave her a kiss, took her hand, and began praying. It was truly a beautiful moment.

The guests rolled in and made their way to the water for the ceremony, hosted by Josh’s childhood pastor. There were so many unique aspects that made this wedding so memorable! If I had to pick a favorite part, it would have to be Josh saying his vows in Spanish, Patricia’s native language. I love that he wanted to celebrate their love in that way. He did an amazing job!

Once they were proclaimed husband and wife (and after Thomas stepped on/through one of the aisle lanterns…oops), the reception began. We all ate beneath the cafe string lights, complete with beautiful lanterns. Airplane name cards indicated where guests should take their seats at each table, a nod to Patricia and Josh’s love for travel. A saxophonist provided live entertainment throughout the meal, and their first dance was shared outside under the stars.

Once the sun set, the party was on! They had an incredible live band to keep the floor filled to the brim! Patricia’s family came out in traditional Colombian attire – beautiful full skirts and off the shoulder tops. Josh and Patricia’s mom tore up the dance floor together!

The adoration these two share for each other is inspiring, the venue was gorgeous, and the reception was filled with incredible dancing! It was truly a night to remember!

Patricia and Josh, thank you SO much for inviting us along on this journey with you! You two have a beautiful story and I’m so glad we were able to celebrate it with you both! You are both so intelligent, optimistic and hard working. There are only bright opportunities on the road ahead of you! Hugs!
