    Hannah and Dean's Miami Wedding | Destination Wedding Photographers

    In late November, Hannah and Dean had the most beautiful wedding in a secluded private villa in Coconut Grove, FL. Villa Woodbine was the perfect setting for the intimate gathering these two wanted on their wedding day. Because Hannah and Dean live in Los Angeles and had family and friends flying in from all over the country they kept things simple. Ceremony in the garden, followed by cocktails in the courtyard while the garden was transformed to accommodate their gorgeous candle lit reception. They celebrated their union surrounded by the love of family and friends. Everyone danced and mingled for hours, even continuing the party on a rooftop lounge in the heart of Coconut Grove after the wedding had ended. These two are such a perfect match. You can just see the adoration in Dean's eyes when he looks at his beautiful bride. Their ceremony was so heart warming it brought tears to my eyes. Here are some of my favorites shots from the day followed by a slideshow.
