This enchanting shoot took place at the beautiful Vizcaya Museum and Gardens and was inspired by its European charm. The picturesque gardens provided the perfect backdrop for a team of talented vendors to organize a truly stunning styled shoot. With a focus on capturing the essence of the bride and groom, the shoot explored a variety of creative portraits through different posing approaches. The result was a captivating blend of artistry and romance that beautifully highlighted the couple’s love story against the lush, historic landscape of Vizcaya.
Our models are not professional, but they are a newly engaged couple. I think it's a great example of how with the right photographer you can achieve those magazine-worthy photos without previous experience in front of the camera.
The photographer, Grace Torres, skillfully captured this stylish editorial shoot, aiming to spark creativity and showcase her artistic approach. Using 35mm film, medium format, and digital photo and video, she captured the couple’s love and the breathtaking views of the venue. Her diverse use of mediums highlighted the timeless elegance and beauty of the location, creating a truly enchanting collection of images.
In this stunning wedding shoot, the bride exuded elegance. Her hair was styled in an updo reminiscent of old Hollywood glamour, perfectly complementing her one-shoulder gown that featured a high slit for a modern twist. The dress draped beautifully, creating a timeless silhouette that matched the historic charm of the venue. She wore a delicate veil that cascaded down her back, adding a touch of classic bridal beauty. Her makeup was kept natural, enhancing her features without overpowering her look. The bride’s jewelry was minimal yet impactful, with sparkling earrings and a statement engagement ring that added the perfect amount of shine. The groom complemented her look in a classic black tuxedo. Together, they embodied the perfect blend of vintage elegance and contemporary style.
The couple’s intimate moments, captured in both color and black and white, tell a beautiful story of love and elegance set in a breathtaking location. The surrounding greenery and architectural details provided a picturesque setting that made their special day unforgettable.
