When you hear about Miami, it's easy for everyone to think about the palm trees, beaches and seaside city or the bustling downtown. In fact, there are many mysterious beauties in Miami waiting to be explored. This is the second time I came to Miami, thanks to my couple Anna and Jinlin for inviting us from California to capture their romantic wedding. Only to discover the place they are getting married is truly a hidden gem and a heaven as the name sounds, "Patch of Heaven Sanctuary". As good as the name sounds, its Butterfly House, Koi Pond, and waterfalls truly gives the airy feel of a forest from heaven. This is the perfect place to fall in love for those who loves nature to their heart.

They say rain is a lucky sign on a wedding day. Though it rained during the first look, we were lucky to witness Anna and Jinlin's ceremony under the wedding tree. While photographing and drenching in the rain was challenging, but every seconds of their lovely moment under the tree was worth flying 3,000 across the states to be captured.

There are many popular venues in Miami, one of which are Vizcaya Museum. No doubt Vizcaya Museum is a popular destination venue for many vendors, but something about Patch of Heaven Sanctuary gives a different and mysterious forest vibe. When asked of Anna on why they chose this "Heaven" as their wedding spot, she said it was because the environment feels more unique and remains mysterious to her.

This wedding holds a special place in my heart as it was not a typical traditional wedding from what I have captured. There were many surprises such as circus performances, Miami like parties, small animals from every corners, etc. But that is not all, with guests traveling afar internationally with moments in tears of happiness from families and freinds embracing one another, really left me a heartfelt impression of an international wedding.
