A Downtown Palm Beach elopement, where the sun kisses the ocean and the palm trees sway in the breeze, Noehmi and Kevin exchanged vows at Bradley Park. With their families by their side, these two celebrated their love in a setting that was as magical as it was unforgettable.
Although Noehmi and Kevin wanted to do things in a non-traditional manner by eloping, they still opted in getting ready separately. They also decided to not see each other until the ceremony and instead they thought a first touch would be a perfect before they said “I do.” As she walked up behind Kevin, you could see not only his excitement but hers! So excited that she told Kevin to turn around! They both lit up the second he turned around and saw her! It was better than Christmas morning for them– their smiles said it all.
You could feel the emotions as they walked hand in hand towards their families. It was beautiful to witness and you could just feel so much love from them. There were hugs, there were tears and so much excitement!
After greeting everyone, it was time to start the ceremony. We gathered together under a lush green arch on a pathway just behind the park. Her dad “gave her away” and kissed her as he joined both Noehmi and Kevin’s hands together.
With the sun casting its golden glow over them, they pledged their love and commitment to each other in a heartfelt ceremony that felt like something out of a dream.
After exchanging vows and sealing their nuptials with a kiss, Noehmi’s mom found it fit for the parents to all circle them and pray a prayer over them. This was such a unifying moment, for both the couple and their families as they too became family.
The two signed their marriage certificate and we set off to where the Downtown Palm Beach Courthouse was for some portraits. We explored around the area and made our way up to the rooftop of a parking garage to catch the golden sun setting! It was truly such a laid back day, just like they wanted. No rushing or stress. Just the two of them and their support system alongside then for the ride.
Although, spending more time together is fun! Sometimes doing something short and sweet is perfect enough. Here’s a glimpse of how we planned out their day!
