Imagine dining by water and strolling through the most opulent gardens. Villa Vizcaya, rich in history and located in sunny Miami, was absolutely perfect for this January wedding.
This styled shoot, beautifully captured by Kim Hymes, showcases an impressive elegance and creativity. Kim’s ability to seize each moment with stunning clarity and a delicate touch highlights her proficiency in wedding photography. Her thoughtful and artistic approach ensures that every image is a demonstration of her remarkable skill.
Set in the scenic Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, the venue presented an exquisite backdrop with its historic architecture and lush gardens. The tranquility of the waterfront, combined with the estate’s Italian Renaissance influence, provided a setting that felt both grand and intimate, making it ideal for such a lavish wedding shoot.
The bride wore high-fashion couture gowns that blended seamlessly with the opulent surroundings. Meticulously arranged floral designs complemented the couple’s attire, adding vibrant colors and life to every scene. The attention to detail in the accessories, makeup, and hairstyles also played a crucial role in bringing the themed vision to life, especially in the unexpected heat of Miami.
The bride’s first dress exuded romance with its sheer overlay dotted with shimmering details and delicate floral appliqués, creating an ethereal silhouette. Her second gown featured a dramatic tiered tulle design enriched with sparkling embellishments, offering a bold and extravagant look. “The most interesting thing for me was the diamonds the model wore, and because of it, security guards were on site,” shared the planner.
The decor at the styled shoot featured magnificent floral arches filled with a vibrant mix of pink, orange, and cream blossoms, setting a lavish and colorful scene. Table settings are elegantly adorned with detailed floral arrangements for upscale elegance. These carefully crafted decorations enhance the venue’s romantic and opulent atmosphere, complementing the event’s overall aesthetic.
