Our clients Danielle and Alex live in Miami but wanted to have a smaller wedding away from the bright lights of their home city. Having their beach wedding at the Ritz-Carlton Naples allowed them to have a destination wedding in their own state, without having to go too far. The Ritz-Carlton Naples is a relaxing oasis with a beautiful beachfront and fantastic restaurants nearby.
We photographed their rehearsal dinner at the sexy, red-hued Strip House - the name being a clever double-entendre for the steaks they serve and the décor which consists of tasteful yet risqué vintage photos of half-naked women. Their traditional Jewish ceremony was held on the beach in front of the Ritz-Carlton, where we got a perfect Florida sunset, and the reception was inside a ballroom just steps off the beach. It was a very memorable weekend for us. We made a couple of our favorite photos ever at this wedding, and we also made two very good friends. Danielle and Alex have become our close friends over the years - even going to Burning Man with us two years in a row.
