Biltmore Hotel Miami Coral Gables Wedding

Hi there!

I am fascinated by a great love story and how couples come together. One of my favorite brides, Nynke shared the story of how her guy,  Brian swept her off her feet : “He totally had me when he combined a really goofy way of asking me out on a date with a dance in the middle of a packed bar where literally no one else was dancing…I figured this guy was funny, outgoing, and was willing to make a fool of himself for a date with me…how could I say no?” The next thing you know four enjoyable years have passed with Brian. One day Nynke is getting a massage and the masseuse finishes and tells her to just relax and that she’ll be right back. Unbeknownst to Nynke, the masseuse had carefully placed rose petals throughout the room. Moment’s later, she feels her hand being held as Brian softly whispers  “Nynke, I want you-will you marry me?”

A great moment as Dad walks his daughter to the ceremony.

So with a few yeses along the way and a couple of I do’s, Nynke & Brian had a fantastic Biltmore Hotel wedding in Coral Gables, Florida. Their wedding took place on a beautiful sunny day on the back lawn of the Biltmore that was followed by an amazing reception in the Granada ballroom of this legendary hotel. Can these guys party! We had an amazing time capturing many warm wonderful moments.

Mom and Nynke celebrating like there’s no tomorrow!

Shortly after the wedding, Nynke took the time to write one of those wonderful emails that confirm why I love being a wedding photographer: “We both had the absolute time of our lives. It was a really amazing experience and you were so great Roy. EVERYONE was raving about you and kept telling me how lucky I was to have such an awesome photographer”. Thank you Nynke for this meaningful note.

Don’t you just love the details and how about the “Gator” groom cake!

St Frances De Sales Catholic Church Wedding  |  Biltmore Hotel Miami Coral Gables Reception

When we photographed Rachel & Fernando’s engagement session I knew that this was going to be a fantastic Miami wedding experience!

Getting ready in the beautiful bridal suite at the Biltmore Hotel/Coral Gables

Rachel stunning in a Paloma Blanca wedding gown.

What a great time we had being their Miami wedding photographers! It all started at the beautiful Biltmore Hotel where Rachel & the girls prepared for the wedding. Before we left for the St Francis Catholic Church we took a moment to create some stunning wedding portraits at the Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables. I had one request from Rachel’s Aunt…a stunning bridal portrait that featured the beautiful architecture of this historic location. Check!

Rachel & Fernando-Wife & Husband stroll in front of the beautiful pillars at the Biltmore Hotel

Leaving the Biltmore in a soft rain (more good luck), we were then off to St Francis De Sales Catholic Church on Miami Beach. Now mind you the day before you had to walk through the flood that hit South Beach to make it to the church. Well lucky we were…it was beautiful on Miami Beach and it was a beautiful ceremony.

A great first dance choice-the tango-great form! Great image by my associate Ricardo Aguiar!

The wedding reception took place in the Alhambra Ballroom of the Biltmore Hotel…ever notice that the rug in this room is custom made to mirror the beautiful woodwork in the ceiling? Rachel & Fernando started their reception with a tango and the rest of the evening was just one great dance after another…with some yummy food here and there.

A few beautiful details!

With Jennifer and Mark it was a perfect day starting with Mark getting to see his fiancé, Jennifer in a stunning Lazaro wedding dress at one of the most romantic settings in South Florida; The Biltmore Hotel. After three and a half years, it was time…to get married in the beautiful Coral Gables Congregational Church, Rev. Milan Kralik in his eloquent manner, guided Jennifer and Mark with their vows.

Family and friends were then treated to a celebration at the exquisitely decorated Comber Hall. Sylvia Viyella of Sylvia’s Weddings created an atmosphere of romance and celebration that was an absolute delight to the senses! DJ Ubi had the guests partying from the moment they entered Comber Hall with a dash of salsa and a great mix of dance music the night was rocking! The icing on the cake so to speak was created by Cake Designs by Edda…yummy!
