Shawna & Josh's Beach-Front Wedding at the Conrad Fort Lauderdale

Shawna & Josh's Beach-Front Wedding at the Conrad Fort Lauderdale

Shawna and Josh's wedding at the Conrad Fort Lauderdale Beach unfolded with the Atlantic as a backdrop — a full day captured by one coordinated photo and video team, from a quiet morning getting ready to the last dance.

A Long Weekend at the Beach

Shawna and Josh wanted their wedding to feel like a long weekend at the beach — because that's how their friends and family already saw them. They said their vows at the Conrad Fort Lauderdale Beach, with the ocean behind them and a September sky that cooperated all day.

The day moved from a quiet morning getting ready to a ceremony with the water in the background, to a reception that carried deep into the evening. One photo and video team covered it all — so the film and the gallery tell the same story, from first look to last dance.

The Full Wedding

The complete wedding lives on our site — 1,200+ images, all preserved the way the day happened:
