Dara and Lincoln’s wedding at Florida’s Miromar Lakes Beach and Golf Club proves that, sometimes, state-side destination weddings can be the best way to go! With family scattered across the country, the couple decided to pick a city in which nobody lived but that was easy to get to and that the bride was familiar with (after years of vacationing there with her family). The result was an elegant waterfront wedding that was as classy as it was laid-back. Although the ceremony and reception both took place inside the club, the copious amounts of natural light and the waterfront backdrop made it feel like it was right on the beach. Alisha Siegel Photography and second shooter Sarah Kuszelewicz Photography masterfully captured every lovely detail of this wedding, especially the magical confetti drop on the dance floor at the end of the night!

The Couple:

Dara and Lincoln

The Wedding:

Miromar Lakes Beach and Golf Club, Miromar Lakes, Florida

Because we live in New York and our families are in Chicago and Los Angeles, we figured we might as well all go to a completely different city. We decided on Miromar Lakes Beach and Golf Club because we knew it so well. My family had been vacationing down there for years, so we knew the venue and the staff. It was like planning a destination in a place you’re completely familiar with (kind of cheating).

We had so much fun with our photographers, Alisha and Sarah. They just made everyone totally at ease. I had seen their work before, so I just completely trusted they would get amazing shots, and they did. The results were a mix of dynamic bridal party photos (yes, they do exist), gorgeous, artsy takes of the venue (yes, we seriously might just frame the super cool shots of palm trees they took), and in-the-moment action shots (confetti galore).
