When Raluca asked me to capture her intimate wedding to Abhisek in Florida, it was an immediate YES. While the harsh sun gave me some photographic challenges, the end result embodies the vibrant emotions of the day and I couldn’t be more honored to have been part of their day.

There’s something magical about a November wedding on the sandy shores of Clearwater Beach, Florida. The bright sun reflects off the water, the gentle waves provide a serene soundtrack, and the salty breeze carries an air of romance. When Raluca and Abhisek chose this stunning location for their intimate wedding, it was clear they were crafting a celebration as unique and beautiful as their love story.

The ceremony took place on the soft, white sands of Clearwater Beach. Close family and friends gathered, forming a small, supportive circle around the couple. Not gonna lie – that harsh sun scared me, but we got some beautiful vibrant images of the sweet ceremony. Afterwards, we all retreated back to the Airbnb for a casual meal together before hitting the beach again for some sunset portraits.

This tennis-loving couple also requested some portraits on a tennis court – which was SUCH a fun and personal touch.

Raluca and Abhisek’s wedding was a reminder that love knows no boundaries—be they cultural, geographical, or otherwise. Their celebration was a testament to the beauty of blending traditions while staying true to themselves. It was a day filled with love, joy, and the unmistakable magic of a Florida sunset.

To Raluca and Abhisek: Thank you for allowing me to capture the beginning of your beautiful journey together. Your wedding day was a true reflection of the love you share, and it was an honor to witness and document it. May your marriage be as breathtaking and harmonious as the sunset on your wedding day.
