Looking for a wedding that blends romantic garden vibes with totally unexpected fun? This couple’s celebration at Secret Gardens Miami (where we are preffered vendors) had all the timeless beauty you’d expect—and then took things up a notch with axe throwing during cocktail hour. Yes, really.
From quiet vows in a lush jungle oasis to full-on laughter and high-energy celebration, this wedding was the perfect mix of emotional and unforgettable. And it made for one of our most fun (and cinematic!) wedding films to date.
🎬 The Setting: Secret Gardens Miami
Secret Gardens Miami is one of South Florida’s most iconic wedding venues for a reason. With natural waterfalls, tropical foliage, stone bridges, and that tucked-away feel, it’s a dream for couples who want a romantic, secluded vibe just outside of Miami.
We film here often, and every single wedding still feels unique—because it’s not just about the setting. It’s about the story you tell within it.
💘 The Couple & Ceremony
This couple opted for an intimate, emotional ceremony beneath the trees, surrounded by family and the soft sounds of nature. The light filtered through the palms just right (thank you, Secret Gardens ✨), and their vows were raw and real—an editor’s dream to work with.
🪓 Cocktail Hour… with a Twist
As guests mingled after the ceremony, axe throwing stations were revealed. Yes—there were axes, targets, and a crowd of excited guests ready to throw down (safely, of course). It added this bold, playful energy that completely surprised everyone and made the day unforgettable.
Pro tip: If you're planning something outside the box like this, let your photo and film team know early! We'll scout the best lighting, angles, and pacing to make it look just as epic on photoc& film.
🎥 The Wedding Photos
Their wedding photos blend dreamy visuals, natural snaps from their vows and toasts, and high-energy moments like the axe throwing and dancing. We wanted to preserve both the soft, romantic feel of the setting and the unique personality of the day—and the result is one of our favorite albums so far.
