Plymouth Congregational Church  |  Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden Wedding

As a South Florida Wedding photographer for over 27 years, I must say that I have experienced thousands of incredible moments, witness hundreds of traditions that relate to the wedding experience. At Patricia and Robert’s Miami wedding there was a soft rain as Patricia arrived at Plymouth Congregational Church in Coconut Grove…and someone stated that it’s good luck.

Not a setting more romantic than at the Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden

So I did a little research…thank you Google… It’s good luck! It comes from several cultures mainly from the Hindu with the idea that a wet knot is harder to untie. Since marriage is often referred to as tying the knot. This thought brought back a moment that I experienced many years ago when upon seeing the Bride tearing up because of the rain just before walking down the aisle…a priest of Irish persuasion stated “Don’t you worry my dear…the angels in heaven are crying tears of joy on your wedding day” and with that the bride believed, tears stopped and on we went with their wedding.

Patricia's headpiece was created by Eva of Coral Gables

Patricia beautiful wedding dress was designed by Nicole Valle who also happens to be the Bride's sister!

A quiet moment...also wearing Nicole Valle designed dresses

So with the gentle tears of the angels, Patricia and Robert married, played in the gardens of Fairchild and celebrated to their marriage and the luck they both share in finding each other!

A special thank you to Marnie Valent at Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden for going above and beyond. It was an honor riding shotgun with you in the golf cart as we created some great garden images with Patricia & Robert! By the way, the gardens have a display of Botero sculptures through December. Check it out!
