Photographed by Sean LoRochelle at Famed Photos

It was a picturesque Tuesday in April, just before noon, when we rendezvoused at the stunning Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) on Biscayne Boulevard. From the moment we arrived, Sean, our exceptionally talented wedding photographer, went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and ease. Against the backdrop of lush greenery juxtaposed with the towering skyscrapers of Miami's vibrant cityscape, Sean skillfully guided us through each shot, capturing the essence of our love and the beauty of the surroundings with an effortless grace.

Rebecca, Ely's cherished baby sister and our Maid of Honor, stood by behind the scenes, offering moral support and ensuring we looked our absolute best. Her presence was invaluable, adding an extra layer of love and care to our special day. Without her unwavering support and attention to detail, this day could not have unfolded so flawlessly.

Inspired by our previous visit in November, we found ourselves captivated by the beauty of the grounds, adorned with mesmerizing artwork and sculptures. Each piece seemed to tell its own unique story, adding an extra layer of charm to our engagement shoot against the backdrop of the stunning surroundings.

In the warmth of the Miami sun, we found ourselves dancing, holding each other close, and locking eyes, immersed in the depth of our love. With every tender moment shared, we couldn't help but exchange heartfelt compliments, each word a testament to the bond we share. It felt serendipitous to have our photos captured against the backdrop of the cruise port of Miami, where we will soon embark on the journey of marriage aboard one of the majestic ships. It was a perfect prelude to the excitement and joy awaiting us in just a few months' time.

Our journey concluded with a delightful visit to the Maurice A. Ferré Park's Dogs and Cats Walkway and Sculpture Garden, where we couldn't resist posing with the charming Frenchie statue. Fond memories flooded back from our previous visit, as the statue reminded us of our beloved furry companion, Widget. As we posed, we couldn't help but jest about the absence of a Shih Tzu statue for our other cherished pet, Gadget, imagining the joy it would bring to have been able to capture representations of both of our fur babies.

The day felt like a dream. We are immensely grateful to Sean for his photographic wizardry, Takiria at PAMM for the delightful surprise of escorting us to the private terrace, where we reveled in the breathtaking views, and to Ely's beloved baby sister for her unwavering love and support throughout. These captured moments are like treasures frozen in time, encapsulating a love so profound that we wish we could dwell in it forever, finding solace and belonging in each other's gaze, a true sense of home.
