Mar-a-Lago Wedding Photographer in Palm Beach

From portraits beneath carved arches to dancing under crystal chandeliers, I look for the moments that make a Mar-a-Lago wedding feel personal.

Photographing Weddings at Mar-a-Lago

I’ve photographed several weddings at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, including Donald and Melania Trump’s wedding reception. The estate offers a different kind of light in every setting, from the carved interiors to the waterfront at sunset. I look for ways to bring that sense of place into the photographs, whether I’m making a portrait beneath an arch or watching for the moment a couple leans in close on the ballroom floor.

Bridal Portraits Inside Mar-a-Lago

Beside the painted piano, the bride’s pink roses stand out against the dark wood and carved columns. On the red-carpet staircase, the view from above follows the curve of the steps as her ivory train sweeps behind her.

A Wedding Ceremony Beneath Crystal Chandeliers

Pink and ivory flowers lined the aisle leading to the chuppah. The wide view takes in the chandeliers and gilded ceiling, while the closer photographs bring you to the couple: the bride smiling during the ring exchange, then the two of them drawing each other close for their first kiss.

Cocktail Hour at Sunset

As the sky turned pink over Palm Beach, guests gathered around the pool beneath the palms.

A Few Moments Together

The newlyweds made each other laugh as they crossed the lawn. By the water, their portrait holds a quieter moment, with the glow of a lantern beside them.

Before guests took their seats, crystal chandeliers cast a warm glow over candlelit tables and tall floral arrangements. In the sepia photograph from Donald and Melania Trump’s wedding reception, the guests gathered around the dance floor fall softly out of focus as the couple leans close during their first dance.

The Hora at Mar-a-Lago

Guests joined hands and circled the newlyweds on the ballroom floor. When the couple was lifted above the crowd, the bride laughed as she and the groom held the ends of a white napkin between their chairs.
