A Timeless Celebration at St. Patrick Catholic Church & Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden

Some weddings leave an indelible mark, and Alyssa and Levi's day was one of them. It was a beautiful blend of classic elegance and tropical charm, set against two of South Florida's most picturesque venues.

A Grand Entrance at St. Patrick Catholic Church

The day began with a heartfelt ceremony at the historic St. Patrick Catholic Church in Miami Beach. Alyssa made a grand entrance, arriving with her father in a classic vintage car, setting a romantic tone for the day. The church's stunning architecture and serene ambiance provided a meaningful backdrop as the couple exchanged vows surrounded by loved ones.

A Lush Reception at Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden

Following the ceremony, celebrations continued at the enchanting Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden in Coral Gables. Known for its expansive collection of tropical plants and serene landscapes, Fairchild offered a dreamy setting for Alyssa and Levi's reception. Guests were treated to an evening under the stars, with soft lighting, elegant décor, and the gentle sounds of nature enhancing the romantic atmosphere.

Beneath a stunning sailcloth tent, the reception design evoked effortless elegance and natural charm. Long tables were draped in soft blue-and-white floral linens, adding a hint of French countryside romance. Woven rattan chargers grounded each place setting, paired with crisp white napkins and sparkling glassware for a polished, timeless look. Fresh arrangements of white florals and lush greenery adorned the center of each table, echoing the botanical surroundings.

Overhead, whimsical eucalyptus garlands and woven pendant lanterns were strung across the ceiling, creating a warm, ambient glow as the sun set. Palm trees in handwoven baskets framed the dance floor and lounge areas, bringing the lush outdoor garden aesthetic into every corner of the space. The mix of round and rectangular tables encouraged connection and flow, making the entire tent feel intimate yet spacious.

Alyssa and Levi’s portraits were nothing short of enchanting. Surrounded by towering palms, winding stone pathways, and vibrant greenery, the couple shared quiet moments that radiated joy and intimacy. Alyssa looked timeless in her off-the-shoulder gown and classic veil, while Levi's tailored black tux added a touch of refined elegance. Together, they wandered hand-in-hand through the garden’s hidden corners, pausing to take in the beauty of the day—and each other. These portraits not only captured their effortless connection, but also the natural splendor of one of South Florida’s most iconic garden venues.

Capturing the Moments

From the emotional first look to the joyous dances, every moment was filled with genuine emotion and love. Alyssa's radiant smile and Levi's tender glances were a testament to their deep connection. It was an honor to capture these memories, preserving the essence of their love story for years to come.
