Some weddings are all about the room, and Patricka & Kevin's day at Lavan Venue in Fort Lauderdale was one of them — lavender and gold, pink and purple florals, a "K & P" monogram glowing over a blossom tree, and a dance floor that stayed full. We photographed and filmed it as one coordinated photo and video team, so the couple could enjoy the celebration while we captured it naturally.
Getting ready
The day started with Patricka getting ready — makeup applied, tiara and white robe — then a quiet, joyful moment on a teal sofa, Patricka in a white robe with four bridesmaids in lavender satin robes. Kevin's side was just as warm: a man helping another put on a white jacket over a lavender vest on a balcony, groomsmen getting ready together.
The room, before the guests
Before the ceremony, the reception room itself deserved its own moment: an empty room of round tables with gold chairs and a large LED wall with a "K & P" monogram over a blossom tree, and the three-tier white cake with a gold "K & P" topper on a glass and gold table, waiting.
The ceremony
The ceremony took place at a gold arch with pink and purple flowers, guests seated — a wide view of Patricka walking the aisle toward Kevin, then the couple at the altar, Patricka holding a white bouquet, Kevin in a white suit with a lavender lapel, and the couple holding hands facing each other at the altar, officiant behind them, floral arch around them.
Portraits
After the ceremony came portraits: the full wedding-party group outside the venue entrance, the couple in the centre, bridesmaids in lavender, groomsmen in light grey; Patricka back-to-back with a bridesmaid in lavender, both holding bouquets, in front of black doors; and the couple kissing in the centre, framed by six groomsmen in light grey outside those same black doors.
First dance, speeches, and cake
The reception opened with the couple slow-dancing alone in fog on the dance floor, guests seated around — in black and white, a frame that stops you. Speeches followed, a man in a light grey suit with a pink bow tie speaking into a microphone, pink and purple floral backdrop behind him. Then the cake: the couple cutting their three-tier white cake together, guests seated, pink and purple florals around them.
The party
The night kept going on the dance floor — Patricka holding her bouquet overhead, women guests cheering behind her, and the couple kissing on the dance floor, Patricka in a white lace gown, Kevin in white and lavender.
The wedding film
Photographs freeze a moment; film brings the whole day back. Patricka & Kevin's wedding was filmed alongside the photography by the same coordinated team, so the ceremony, the first dance, the speeches, and the party are preserved in motion as well as in stills.
