Why choose elopement photography in Florianópolis?
An elopement in Florianópolis can feel a world away from the city on the same island. In the south, between two hills, the Lagoinha do Leste is a beach and a freshwater lagoon with no buildings and no road, inside a municipal park larger than the dunes of the Lagoa da Conceição. Two people, an officiant and a photographer who arrive on foot have it almost to themselves early in the day.
