Villa Woodbine Wedding Miami | Michelle & Stephen
Michelle & Stephen’s Villa Woodbine Wedding in Miami was full of pure magic and I am excited to share all of the amazing moments with you below!
There were so many stand out moments throughout Michelle & Stephen’s entire wedding day at Villa Woodbine, and a few moments that were absolute tear jerkers! One of my absolute favorite moments of the day was when Michelle had a first look with her dad and her brother. The emotion felt in those moments are not something you will soon forget! Although Michelle had a first look with her dad and her brother, she and Stephen decided to go the more traditional route and meet each other at the aisle. However, she did surprise her groom with a mariachi band at their reception, how fun is that?! The bride and her mom also got to have their own time alone together in the bridal suite with Michelle’s mom helping her slip into her lacy long sleeve (totally dreamy) wedding gown!! Mom was the first one to get a full look at the bride all glammed up!
The side bear hug (yes, really!) and insanely huge joyful smiles that you’ll see in one of the images below is of Michelle and her wedding planner, Jessica of Jessica’s Events! Oh, and you will definitely get to see a shot of me with the bride and groom at their reception (more big beautiful smiles!) and one of me working the camera behind the scenes!
For wedding day decor, Michelle & Stephen went with tons of big beautiful florals in all white. Their ceremony setup was a total dream, with a floral wall as their backdrop that was fully decked out with cascading white orchids and a gorgeous monogram.

Villa Woodbine Wedding Venue | Jenny & Zach
Jenny & Zach’s Villa Woodbine wedding was so romantic and intimate!
I love when my couples are not afraid to show off their romantic side on their wedding day! Every look, every touch, every embrace between Jenny and Zach on their wedding day came through my lens as pure love and romance! My gorgeous bride even wore a lacy off-the-shoulder gown, and carried an all-white wedding bouquet, wait until you see! It’s seemingly small touches like those that add to the feel and experience of your wedding day.
One of the things I love so much about shooting wedding photos at Villa Woodbine is their dreamy staircase! The top of the staircase has an open balcony that overlooks the villa. It’s the perfect spot for bridal portraits or to have your first look! It’s also an amazing location to let your floral designer get creative and make it extra special with heaps of gorgeous floral garland on display!
Jenny and Zach’s wedding day was held at Villa Woodbine from start to finish! My bride and groom chose to use their venue for their getting ready moments, their ceremony, and their reception. They hosted an intimate wedding with 45 guests and their wedding day color palette was done in shades of dusty rose, cream, and champagne. How dreamy does that sound?

Wedding at The Addison of Boca Raton | Candice & Steven
Candice and Steven’s wedding at The Addison of Boca Raton was glam meets fun!
My beautiful bride and groom traveled all the way from California to sunny South Florida to have their wedding at The Addison of Boca Raton! The Addison of Boca Raton is known for its outdoor courtyard and Florida palm trees vibe. Designed in 1926, The Addison is a historic wedding venue. It was modeled after Spanish painter El Greco’s home in Toledo, Spain. Today, The Addison is on the National Register of Historic locations, has been fully restored, and serves as one of South Floridas most desirable wedding and event settings!! Did they pick the perfect wedding location or what?!
The Addison of Boca Raton is also known for its 100-year-old Banyan Tree! The outdoor space at The Addison is a breathtaking courtyard with a sprawling tree right in the center! The courtyard also has a gorgeous marble fountain to create a scenic backdrop for your ceremony or wedding photos.
My bride and groom’s setup at The Addison was all about flowers! There were florals in every corner of their courtyard ceremony and inside their private main dining room. There was even a beautifully created cascade of flowers laying over the fountain and accented by white candles. Wait until you see the details below!
Candice’s wedding gown looks like it was born to be photographed at The Addison! My gorgeous bride wore a long-sleeve ballgown-style wedding dress with a train that went on for days! To accessorize she paired her gown with a cathedral-length veil. Candice had two pairs of wedding shoes for the day. Her first pair were strappy platforms absolutely covered in rhinestones. And to dance the night away my bride wore a pair of bejeweled white converse high tops. Candice was definitely not afraid of a little bling on her wedding day!
After Candice and Steven said I do, they ‘jumped the broom’. The act of jumping the broom at your wedding symbolizes a new beginning and a “sweeping away” of the past. It can also symbolize the joining of two families or be used as a way to pay homage to family ancestors.

TRS Coral Hotel Destination Wedding Cancun Mexico
Janessie & Erick were married at a gorgeous destination wedding at TRS Coral Hotel in Cancun Mexico!
My sweet bride and groom flew me and an assistant down to the beautiful country of Mexico to shoot the photos for their dreamy wedding!
Janessie and Erick’s story began with a cocktail. The couple even had napkins printed up at their wedding that said “every love story starts with a cocktail, at least ours did!” To honor the fun way in which they met, the bride and groom commissioned a custom ‘shot wall’ for their wedding. The wall read ‘Take a Shot, Take a Seat’! Talk about a fun, laid-back couple, my bride and groom really made the most of their day. They even had a shot with my name on it, ready to go for me!
Janessie and Erick were so relaxed their entire wedding day and I cannot stress the importance of this enough! They were able to follow my lead when it came to their photos and they got candid and comfortable with each other in front of the camera, and it definitely shows. Of course, it’s normal to feel nervous or even overwhelmed on your wedding day. This is what makes it so important to hire a photographer that you trust! Being able to trust your photographer means getting the most out of each and every shot at your wedding.
My fun-loving bride and groom brought on their chic style when it came to their wedding day attire! And the bridesmaids and the groomsmen were just as chic at the newlyweds! For a fresh take on attire, the groomsmen all wore black tuxedos and bowties, with the groom contrasting that by wearing a white tux jacket, it was so stylish!
Partying the night away in Mexico for Janessie and Erick’s wedding day meant an outdoor reception that lit up the night! Their open-air reception was framed by rows and rows of cafe lighting that were hanging and draped all around the newlyweds and their guests! My fun couple finished the night on their mirrored dance floor as fireworks went off behind them. It was seriously the most magical moment!

The Palms Hotel & Spa Miami Beach Wedding
Sara and Calvin’s “mini-monie” wedding at the Palms Hotel & Spa in Miami Beach was simplicity meets elegance!
Did you know that The Palms Hotel in Miami offers intimate weddings? It’s true! I am there often to photograph their mini-monies which are two-hour weddings with less than 20 guests in attendance.
Sara and Calvin’s mini-monie was an absolute dream to photograph and the bride and groom were so sweet with each other on their wedding day. Their easygoing nature came through my lens flawlessly! They said I do under the gazebo on the pristinely manicured grounds of The Palms Hotel in Miami.
One thing is for sure; when you get married at The Palms Hotel & Spa in Miami Beach, you have to take advantage of their outdoor stairway! The wooden staircase has a feel to it that just screams Miami Beach charm. The stairway works as the perfect setting to fluff out the train of your dress and go in for a kiss with the love of your life!
My bride and groom’s wedding day look was simplicity meets elegance with their wedding day attire. Sara wore a chic, structured crisp white wedding gown that had the most gorgeous bow accent in the back! Wait until you lay eyes on it! Can you believe that the bride did her own hair and makeup?! She was the image of grace on her wedding day. Calvin wore a light gray suit and showed off his personal style by topping off his attire with a pair of white Air Force 1’s!

Miami Beach EDITION Wedding | Abigail & Ezequiel
Abigail and Ezequiel’s wedding at Miami Beach EDITION was one for the books!
My bride and groom brought on heaps of style for their wedding day at their luxury boutique-style hotel wedding venue and their guests were not disappointed!
Everyone in attendance was absolutely wowed by the bride’s beauty! Especially her sweet groom, who choked up during their first look.
Abigail spent her time getting ready for the day in her bridal suite, dressed in an epic sparkly getting-ready robe! Of course, I had to take some photos of the bride in this gorgeous getting-ready ensemble before she slipped into her bridal gown. Abigail’s bridal gown was a sexy meets sophisticated off-the-shoulder dress. The bride paired her lacy gown with a jewel-encrusted bridal tiara, a pair of show-stopping crystal sandals, and a delicate all-white orchid bridal bouquet!
Her groom, Ezequiel was just as dapper in his wedding day suit which was a light shade of navy blue. The groom accessorized his suit with a smart black bowtie, and velvet loafers which he slipped on sans socks! Matching his bride, Ezequiel also wore a white orchid boutonniere to complete his wedding day-ready look.
The beautiful couple said I do in an outdoor wedding ceremony at Miami Beach EDITION surrounded by lush tropical florals and their closest family and friends. As they were pronounced husband and wife their guests greeted their walk down the aisle with a flurry of festive paper confetti!
Their wedding reception at Miami Beach EDITION was spent partying the night away with guests on the dance floor all night. The newlywed couple treated their guests to some dancefloor entertainment in the form of Miami’s ultra-popular LED Robots, who kicked the party up a few notches!

Coral Gables Country Club Wedding | Miami Wedding Photographer
This upscale wedding at the Coral Gables Country Club is the stuff of dreams!
The love that my bride and groom, Bree and Chris, share is truly that of a storybook romance. Being in their presence on the day of their wedding, it was easy to see that they have a lifetime of happiness ahead of them.
Chris was overcome with emotions at the sight of his gorgeous bride during their first look. This is one of the many reasons that I always recommend having a first look on your wedding day! Those few private moments with each other away from the eyes of your guests are such a special moment to share before you say I do.
Bree’s wedding day look was romantic meets glam! My gorgeous bride wore a princess-style wedding dress with a full silk skirt. The top of her gown was embellished with shimmery pearls and beads. To match her fairytale wedding dress, Bree wore a cathedral-length wedding veil and accented her hair with a gorgeous bridal headband.
Bree and Chris’s wedding day style was truly impeccable from start to finish. From their attire to their wedding day theme, everything was executed to sheer perfection. The overall theme of their wedding day was The Great Gatsby. They achieved this theme by working with a color palette of white, gold, and black. You’ll get to see how this theme came to life in the photos of their decor at their wedding reception. The wedding centerpieces were gold candelabras stuffed with fluffy white ostrich feathers. In between the candelabras were centerpieces designed with white florals.
The newlyweds were the life of their own party! Their wedding reception at the Coral Gables Country Club had their guests partying on the dance floor all night long to celebrate Bree & Chris’s love.

Vista Lago Ballroom Wedding Miami | Ingrid & Alejandro
Ingrid and Alejandro’s wedding at Vista Lago Ballroom in Miami is on the blog!
What I love so much about this wedding is that my bride and groom’s wedding ceremony was every bit classic, but their wedding reception was popping!
My beautiful bride Ingrid had such a timeless wedding day look. Her bridal gown was a mermaid silhouette with a sweetheart neckline. She paired that with a floor-length veil and a rhinestone-encrusted bridal headband. So gorgeous!
Her groom, Alejandro, was just as dashing when it came to his wedding day look as well! Alejandro wore a dapper black tux with an elegant black bow tie and a white rose boutonniere.
To get ready for the day, my bride and groom used a family member’s private residence which added a level of intimacy to their wedding day. The great thing about using a private residence for getting ready on your wedding day is that you don’t have to worry about random guests roaming the halls of your hotel when you are heading out to have your first look!
Ingrid and Alejandro said I do in a Catholic wedding ceremony at Our Lady of Guadalupe Church in Doral. The newlyweds then made their getaway in a classic car to head off and party the night away with their guests at Vista Lago Ballroom in Miami.

My bride and groom’s wedding reception was a full-on party! The bride and groom hosted 130 guests at Vista Lago Ballroom in Miami to party the night away. Vista Lago Ballroom is an elegant wedding venue with high ceilings, crystal chandeliers, and a gorgeous view of the hidden lake. You know I had to steal my bride and groom away from their guests at just the right moment to grab a shot of them down by the hidden lake!
The newlyweds brought in the Hora Loca to get the party started on the dance floor! Ingrid & Alejandro had a blast with their guests and their wedding day was overflowing with love!

The Old Grove Redland Florida Wedding | Brittney & George
Brittney & George’s wedding at The Old Grove in Redland Florida was perfect weather meets sweet moments.
The Old Grove in Redland Florida is an upscale wedding venue that is dripping with local charm! It’s 5 acres of avocado groves, waterfalls, a lazy river, arched bridges, lush gardens, and a beautiful barn. What more can you ask for when searching for the perfect wedding venue in South Florida?!
My bride and groom decided to keep things a bit more traditional and meet each other down the aisle, skipping out on having a first look. The decision they made influenced the first moment they laid eyes on each other at the altar. This resulted in my groom expressing tears of happiness as his bride gently wiped them away. How sweet is that?!
Want to hear something super sentimental? The groom’s brother presided over the wedding ceremony and served as the couple’s wedding officiant for the day! What a wonderful way to add their own personal touch to their wedding day.
Though my bride and groom decided against a first look, I took so many photos of them together when it came time for their portraits. They were so patient and such good sports about the time they spent together in front of my camera!
Scroll all the way down to see the cherished moments from Brittney & George’s wedding day The Old Grove in Redland Florida!
My bride and groom expressed to me how important their wedding day photos were to them. So working with them privately to make sure that I honored everything they wanted for their wedding photos was a high priority. Your wedding photos are one of the few things leftover from your wedding day that you will cherish forever, so spending the extra time with your wedding photographer to get in all of those cherished moments is so worth it!
Every single wedding vendor involved in Brittney and George’s wedding at The Old Grove in Redland Florida was so amazing, we all worked together to make sure that the bride and groom had the wedding day of their dreams. It made the celebratory mood of the day feel all that more special!
Brittney and George also hold a special place in my heart because they are the last couple whose wedding I shot right before the COVID shutdown happened in 2020.

Thalatta Estate Wedding Palmetto Bay | Christina & Sal
Christina and Sal’s Wedding at Thalatta Estate in Palmetto Bay was full of happy tears and epic moments!
Christina and Sal’s wedding happened in February 2020 right before quarantine, and everyone involved was overjoyed that we were all able to make their wedding day come to life and celebrate their love!
Every aspect of Christina and Sal’s wedding day was like a fairytale romance come to life. This sweet couple was full of laughs and ‘happy tears’ literally the whole day!
You’ll get to see some of those moments below when the bride and groom had a private first look with each other before meeting down the aisle to say ‘I do’. There were lots of beaming smiles, and tender embraces in those private first look moments and I captured each and every one of them!
Christina and Sal’s wedding at Thalatta Estate in Palmetto Bay was glam meets chic!
Christina and Sal’s wedding colors were navy blue, gold, and shades of green. The overall color palette gave their wedding such a glam meets chic feel.
The bride and groom chose “I Like Me Better” by Lauv as the song for their first dance. Their first dance happened under the stars. The bride and groom had a clear tented wedding reception with a slick white seamless dance floor which allowed them and their guests a view of the heavens. The center of their dance was monogrammed with their names for an extra special added touch.
The newlyweds spent the rest of the night partying on the dance floor with their closest friends and family. They went all out with live entertainment, fog guns, and life-sized cutouts of the bride and groom’s face, as well as their fur baby!

The Palms Hotel Miami Wedding | Grether & Nicholas | Miami Wedding Photographer
Grether & Nicholas’s romantic wedding at The Palms Hotel in Miami is below!
The trend for 2020 and 2021 weddings has been small intimate affairs that are done in a safe way with just a handful of the people that you love most in attendance.
My bride and groom had just 20 guests at their Palms Hotel Wedding in Miami!
But it was every bit emotional with Nicholas tearing up at the sight of his gorgeous bride as she made her way down the aisle and towards her husband-to-be.
Grether and Nicholas are so into each other that they practically looked liked models in front of my camera.
They were able to embrace each other so naturally on their wedding day that it made my job as their photographer effortless!
My bride and groom were also super easy-going on their wedding day and every touch, every delicate embrace between them was a moment to be captured!
As romantic and head over heels in love as they are, they didn’t hold back on adding in an element of fun to their wedding day!
After Grether and Nicholas were presented to their guests as husband and wife, their guests celebrated by giving them a bubble exit as they walked down the aisle holding hands, with their fingers interlocked.
You’ll get to see the vibrant shot of that exact moment in the photos below!
Looking for a fun, safe venue to host your 2021 wedding ceremony outside? The Palms Hotel in Miami has a gorgeous picturesque gazebo where you can say I do to the love of your life!

Living Sculpture Sanctuary Wedding | Mariolys & Seth
This wedding at Living Sculpture Sanctuary is set in a lush tropical backdrop, full of elegant details and heaps of love!
Mariolys and Seth had the unfortunate event of rain on their wedding day. But a little rain was not going to stop them from celebrating! They were the best of sports when the rain started during their first look and they made the most of the moment when they went in for a kiss with a clear umbrella in hand (you’ll get to see this photo below!)
The best words to describe this wedding are fun and elegant! The color palette that my bride and groom choose for their wedding at Living Sculpture Sanctuary was a combination of blush, gold, and burgundy. The combination of the rich shade of burgundy accented by the light blush and gold complimented each other perfectly. Pops of their color palette showed up in the groom’s attire, the bride’s bouquet, and even in their vow books!
Mariolys was an ever so gorgeous bride! She wore a long-sleeve modified mermaid wedding gown covered in lace with the perfect length train. Her veil was cathedral length and trimmed in lace, she pinned the ultra-long veil to the back of her wavy lustrous hair.
And just wait until you see her groom! For his wedding day, Seth wore a three-piece royal blue suit accented with a burgundy tie and a single burgundy calla lily boutonniere - so chic!
Reception time came and Mariolys and Seth’s reception at their venue, Living Sculpture Sanctuary, could only be described as spectacular! It was full of amazing Cuban eats (of which the groom is now a huge fan, thanks to his Cuban bride), a cigar bar, heartfelt speeches (maybe even a few tears), and the love of their family and friends!

Ancient Spanish Monastery Wedding | Melanie & Francisco
The Ancient Spanish Monastery Wedding!!!
Melanie and Francisco’s elegant wedding at The Ancient Spanish Monastery is on the blog!!
Elegant and modern meets otherworldly architecture in this gorgeous wedding! PS: Having an amazingly elegant wedding day doesn’t have to mean that you need hundreds of guests in attendance to witness it! My bride and groom pulled off one of the most elegant weddings I have ever had the pleasure of photographing with 30 guests in attendance!
Melanie & Francisco’s elegant wedding at The Ancient Spanish Monastery in Miami: The Details!
My bride, Melanie was positively radiant and had the most gorgeous beaming smile when she was getting ready for her wedding day. Melanie’s wedding day accessories included bejeweled Badgely Mischka sandals that tied at her ankle with silky ivory ribbon, a crescent-shaped hairpiece to smooth back her loose romantic waves, and show-stopping pearly earrings. But the centerpiece of Melanie’s wedding day look was her lace-covered bridal gown with a plunging neckline, just wait until you see it!
Francisco, her groom, was every bit just as dashing in a three-piece black tuxedo that was accented by a silky black lapel and topped off with a little black bowtie.
Some fun facts about my bride and groom are that Melanie and Francisco both love to travel together and consider themselves world travelers. My bride and groom also have hearts for serving others and they both do this through their work in the medical field. They are so humble and down to earth but they are absolutely heaps of fun!

There is no shortage of gorgeous locations when planning your wedding in Miami! But the venue that my bride and groom choose, Briza on The Bay, comes with floor to ceiling glass windows that overlook the gorgeous views of Biscayne Bay and the South Beach Skyline.
It’s really just as dreamy as it sounds!
Jessica and Brian are both lawyers by trade, but they knew how to relax and have a good time. When it came to their wedding day, they were all smiles and plenty of partying on the dance floor - including smoke guns and fireworks!
The happy couple started their day by getting ready inside the Miami Marriott Biscayne Bay. Jessica slipped on her gown and Brian fastened his cufflinks before they both met for an intimate first look. Big beaming smiles and even a few tears erupted from my bride and groom when they laid eyes on each other for the very first time that day. The couple spent a few sweet moments together, with me by their side to capture every embrace, before heading off to say I do at Trinity Cathedral.

V. Sattui Winery Wedding | Napa Valley Wedding Photographer
Stephanie and Casey’s wedding day took me all the way to V. Sattui Winery in Napa Valley, and wait until you see all of the details!
Curious to know how I met the bride? I photographed both of her sister’s weddings! Stephanie was the final one of her triplet sisters to get married and I was there for each of their three weddings - how cool is that?!
Stephanie and her groom, Casey, had been dating for years when they took their relationship to the next stage and became engaged. The couple decided what worked best for them was to have a more intimate wedding with their closest friends and family in attendance. They landed on a destination wedding in Napa Valey at V. Sattui Winery! Coming from a Cuban family, their wedding day was a recipe for fun.
The stage was set for Stephanie and Casey’s wedding day to be an absolute dream, and it did not disappoint.
Wait until you see some of the views that we captured in Napa Valley, below!
With an absolute dream of a location setting and wearing a romantic backless gown, Stephanie was a picture-perfect bride. The sweeping views both inside and outside V. Sattui Winery were perfect for her bridal portraiture, group photos, and of course - shots of the newlywed’s side by side one another in what felt like paradise.
Stephanie and Casey said their I dos outdoors under the moonlight. Their aisle was lined with softly glowing lanterns and white rose petals. The couple took their vows under a balcony covered in thick green vines that were covered in romantic bistro lights.

Rusty Pelican Miami Wedding | Rayna & Oscar
Rayna and Oscar’s dreamy Wedding at The Rusty Pelican in Miami is on the blog!
I love it when my couples make romance the center of their day, and Rayna was every bit the romantic bride with a dreamy lace off the shoulder gown and soft cascading tendrils!
My bride and groom had two separate venues for their getting ready moments and their reception.
To start the day Rayna and Oscar prepared for the day at The Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne. My bride Rayna was given the full beauty treatment with hair and makeup before slipping on her gown and opening a special gift and meeting Oscar on the grounds for a first look.
Oscar donned a sleek black tuxedo topped off with a dapper bow tie. My groom personalized his look with cufflinks and a gorgeous watch.
Once they were ready for the day, my bride and groom met on the grounds of the Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne for their first look. They walked hand in hand across the sweeping grounds and we took advantage of the gorgeous outdoor stone staircase and views of the architecture for their portrait hour.
After their portraits, we were off for the day!! Headed to the Rusty Pelican in Miami, Rayna and Oscar chose a silky vintage Rolls Royce as their ‘getaway car’.
With wedding colors of ivory, champagne, and blush the inside views of the Rusty Pelican Miami were filled with towering displays of lush florals and crisp table linens.
Hosting your wedding at the Rusty Pelican in Miami means that sweeping views of Key Biscayne are in your back pocket! Right at golden hour (my favorite!), we headed outside to let the sunset over my bride and groom as they celebrated their new union.

The Ancient Spanish Monastery Wedding | Diana & Juan
Diana and Juan’s intimate meets romantic wedding at The Ancient Spanish Monastery in Miami is on the blog!
You are going to fall in love with Diana and Juan! Their journey all began when they were introduced to one another by a mutual friend. Juan is a bit younger than Diana, so naturally, the bride was a bit skeptical. But Diana instantly saw how mature Juan’s demeanor was and she quickly fell in love with him.
Here’s a fun fact about my connection to the bride and groom! The mutual friend that introduced Diana and Juan is also the same friend that introduced me to the bride!
Throughout their relationship, the bride and groom have supported each other as they each grew their own business. Diana is a hair and makeup artist in the wedding industry, so you know that she looked nothing less than drop-dead gorgeous on her own wedding day!
For their wedding, the bride and groom decided that it was more their style to have an intimate wedding day. For them, that meant not hosting a wedding reception and keeping their focus on their ceremony and portraits.
Diana and Juan’s wedding day at The Ancient Spanish Monastery was on 2/20/2020. Many couples choose their wedding day based on the number pattern of the day just as Diana and Juan did. These patterns are typically called Angel Numbers, and the number 2 is associated with harmony, balance, consideration, and love.

The Club of Knights Miami Wedding | Laura & David
Laura and David’s wedding at The Club of Knights in Miami was chic, playfully romantic, and filled with fun!
One of the wonderful things about photography is the ability to build lifelong connections. I connected with the bride, Laura, through her sister. Laura’s sister and I actually attended middle school & high school together! After staying in touch throughout the years, Laura’s sister sent Laura in my direction when it came time to plan her wedding day.
Shooting Laura and David’s wedding day was like winning the photographer’s lottery! They gave me full creative control over their day, to capture every moment as it unfolded. I think the exact words they used were “you are the boss, and you can do whatever you want!”.
Laura and David were beyond fun to photograph on their wedding day. This bride and groom had the hearts of two wild kids! They were full of laughs, a few tears, and they absolutely knew how to let the good times roll! You’ll see how those moments unfolded through the day in the photos below.
Laura and David’s wedding at The Club of Knights in Miami was chic meets playful!
Who says you can’t have fun and be chic at the same time? This bride and groom, that was so full of laughter, were also fabulously chic! Laura’s bridal gown was covered in soft lace and she wore a long lace-trimmed veil to match. Her bridesmaids wore emerald green floor-length gowns in varying silhouettes. Bouquets filled with white, pink, and deep red florals were created for the bride and her entire squad. David and his groomsmen wore dark blue suit jackets with black lapels, chic black bowties, and boutonnieres made from the same shade of red florals.

Briza On The Bay Miami Wedding | Yaritza & Kevin
Yaritza and Kevin’s Miami Wedding at Briza on The Bay was both elegant and full of fun! This fun-loving couple even had a visit from the University of Miami’s mascot, Sebastian, at their wedding reception!
My bride, Yartiza was the picture of bridal elegance in her off the shoulder long sleeve wedding gown. With full wedding day hair and makeup professionally done, she was a stunning vision of bridal perfection!
She looked absolutely magical walking down the aisle of St. Patrick Catholic Church in Miami, where she and Kevin said I do. Later in the day, when it came time to party it up at their reception venue, Briza On The Bay, she also wasn’t afraid to get on the dance floor to bust a move and wear her special ‘bride’ sunglasses!
Kevin was an equally elegant groom! Kevin and his groomsmen wore chic all-black tuxedos with bowties. My groom also had a blast on the dance floor! He ditched his jacket to wear silly hats and sunglasses with his new wife. They both spent the night celebrating their love with friends, family, and Sebastian from the University of Miami. Sebastian’s arrival was a planned surprise for Kevin, from Yaritza - that just goes to show you how lively and fun they are!
All partying aside, my couple’s reception setup matched their elegant style. Their Miami wedding venue, Briza On The Bay, has floor to ceiling windows and sweeping views of the local marina. Yaritza and Kevin worked with their wedding planner to create a space that was filled with crisp white linens, soft white florals, modern acrylic seating, and floating candles on every single guest’s table!

Comber Hall Coral Gables Wedding | Claire & Alex
Claire and Alex’s wedding day at Comber Hall in Coral Gables was every bit elegant and full of romance!
The bride and groom spent the early part of their wedding day getting ready in their individual suites at The Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables. Claire’s romantic off the shoulder wedding gown had a sparkly bodice with a full ball gown skirt that was made out of layers upon layers of delicate tulle. She completed her wedding day look with an elegant tiara and a spritz of her signature scent before dashing off to meet her groom.
Alex prepared for the day by slipping into a chic black three-piece tuxedo with a matching bowtie. He incorporated a small nod of his Cuban ancestry into his wedding day look, wearing a pair of cufflinks that were stamped with the Cuban coat of arms. There is a black and white photo of Alex adjusting his handsome cufflinks, below!
Once the bride and groom were ready for the day, we left The Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables and headed to the Church of the Little Flower for their traditional Catholic wedding ceremony. The couple said their intimate wedding vows and prayed over their marriage before officially becoming husband and wife!
This sweet newlywed couple spent the day stealing kisses in between their portraits when they thought that nobody was looking! But when wedding day arrives, I always have my eyes fixed on my couple to make sure that I capture those sweet moments in between! The photo that I love most of Claire and Alex’s stolen kiss is one that I shot from the top of the balcony!
After their vows and portraits, the newlywed couple planned an exquisite reception for their guests at Comber Hall in Coral Gables. Guests were wowed when Comber Hall was transformed into an oasis of crisp white, accented by shades of blush. White draping and heaps of gorgeous florals were used to make their reception space an elegant experience for their guests. No attention to detail was spared, and the staircase at Comber Hall was even outfitted with fresh floral garland, where the bride and groom stopped for a few more of those stolen moments before celebrating the night away with their family and friends!
I had the pleasure of first working with Claire and Alex for their engagement photoshoot, which we shot on the campus of the University of Miami, see the photos in >>> this post!
