This was the final shot of Carla and Daniel’s wedding at The Coral Gables Country club in Coral Gables, Florida.

“When we met the couple, they told us they were big fans of our sparkler exit images and so we knew we needed to deliver a magical and memorable shot for them,” explains photographer Bryan Rodriguez of the Florida-based Nat & Bryan Weddings. 

“For this type of sparkler send-off, we always back-flash the couples,” he adds, “and either me or my wife, Nat, will stand behind the couple holding a flash and also fill the front with our on-camera flash.”

Nat and Bryan say they were very pleased with the final outcome and that the couple’s dip was the “icing on the cake. More importantly, the couple was extremely happy with the final result.”
