Ft. Lauderdale Beach Wedding Hilton

Emily + Adam’s Chilly Yet Magical Ft. Lauderdale Beach Wedding

Hilton Ft. Lauderdale Beach Resort | November 23, 2024

Emily and Adam’s wedding day at the Hilton Ft. Lauderdale Beach Resort was proof that beach weddings don’t always have to be warm to be absolutely magical. On a brisk November day, with a light ocean breeze adding a touch of romance, the couple tied the knot surrounded by their closest family and friends, proving that love truly warms everything up—even on a chillier-than-expected Florida afternoon.

The day began with Emily and Adam getting ready in separate suites at the resort. Emily, glowing with excitement, slipped into her stunning gown, while Adam prepared for the moment he would see his bride for the first time. Their first look on the balcony overlooking the ocean was intimate and heartwarming—a perfect start to the day.

The ceremony took place on a private section of the resort’s beach, with the ocean as their backdrop. Despite the cooler weather, the atmosphere was nothing short of breathtaking. A parasailer flying by during their vows added a playful and unexpected highlight to their big moment.

The décor tied everything together beautifully. Monstera leaves paired with bright, tropical florals in shades of pink, peach, and yellow created a chic and vibrant style. Later, the beachy vibe transitioned seamlessly into the reception, where the couple wowed their guests with a choreographed first dance, proving they had just as much rhythm as romance.

One of my favorite moments of the day was stepping out for sunset photos with Emily and Adam. The cooler air brought a crispness to the scene, while the pastel hues of the fading sky created the dreamiest backdrop. Capturing their laughter, snuggles, and pure joy during those golden moments was an absolute highlight.

Photography on the beach always comes with its unique challenges, but it’s also what makes these moments so special. The wind, light, and ever-changing conditions of the ocean make every shot one-of-a-kind. For Emily and Adam, the chilly breeze gave their photos an unexpected, storybook-like feel, turning what might have been a weather worry into a magical element of their day.
