Hannah and Daniel first met in Tel Aviv, Israel. It was a weekend night, and Hannah was going out and enjoying the city’s eclectic nightlife. Back then, Daniel worked as a bouncer in a nightclub, where she showed up with friends willing to dance the night away. Daniel refused to let them in, but still managed to get Hannah’s phone number. They reconnected the following week, and realised they have a lot in common. Their feelings blossomed and grew, forming a strong bond between them. Hannah and Daniel have been together since, later moving to New York City, where they currently reside.
Hannah chose a Vera Wang floor glazing gown with an intricate strapless bodice and a layered tulle train. The elegant dress was complimented by natural makeup, that amplified the brides features and radiatied effortless beauty. Her hair was styled in soft beach waves, providing a chic and relaxed look. The all-white bridal bouquet was a sophisticated composition of various flowers, adding character to the bride’s style and matching the baroque architecture of the venue.
Daniel wore a navy blue tuxedo suit with a white shirt. The combination of the classic cut and unusual color was a perfect way to honor traditions and show some personality at the same time.
The emotional first look was held privately at home and witnessed by a small circle of loving family and close friends. After this deeply touching event Hannah and Daniel met with Nadia Diaz Naval at the Vizckaya Museum and Gardens for the wedding photo session.
The couple was drawn to dramatic images with a lot of landscape and movement. Together with the photographer, they walked through Vizcaya’s enclosed loggias, vaulted arches, and majestic gardens. Nadia‘s camera carefully captured Hannah and Danial as they entered their new status as wife and husband.
As Nadia followed the couple, she documented Hannah and Daniel’s gazes full of love, genuine smiles, and gentle kisses, allowing their story and personalities to be seen through the photos. An exceptionally bright moment of the day was when Daniel picked Hannah up and twirled her as they kissed.
"The curated images were a testament to Hannah and Daniel's love and exultant personalities. By playing with light and movement, we encapsulated the essence of the couple and the landscape, blending grandeur and lightness."
There’s a core memory and a piece of the couple’s story behind every carefully taken candid shot. The Vizckaya Museum and Gardens provided a perfect background for Hannah and Daniel’s wedding day, adding flavor and timeless romance to each image.
When the sun began to set, Hannah and Daniel ended their day with a champagne toast. Their intimate celebration was full of magical and emotional privately shared moments. The slow-paced walk through the historical sights of the venue allowed every meaningful moment to unfold naturally and peacefully, strengthening their bond even more.
