Documenting Frankie + Joel’s Villa Woodbine Tuscany-Inspired wedding was an absolute HONOR. In a beautiful town in Miami, Florida, Villa woodbine stands as a true testament that Tuscany, Italy inspired weddings can occur in Miami! It was beautiful, real, and the architecture is breathtaking. Each corner of this historic venue is the perfect backdrop for couples looking for a wedding venue with heavy Italian influence in Miami.

As a documentary wedding photographer, stepping into Villa Woodbine is a dream, it will never get old. The lighting, the colors, and the property speak for themselves. Frankie + Joel really stressed the fact that they wanted their getting ready portion to be true documentary with very minimal guidance. Allowing them to just be, and we did just that. And not to sound repetitive but in a venue like villa woodbine, it feels as if you’ve been transported to Tuscany, Italy and every corner is picture perfect…

The Story…

Every photograph tells a story. From the mother of the bride zipping her daughter up in her wedding dress, putting her heels on, to her doggy wanting a bite of her wrap, drinking her cafecito a.k.a her Cuban espresso provided by her father and should i say, she did this in her WHITE WEDDING DRESS. We were all screaming inside, including her. But you got to do, what you got to do. Throughout her wedding day, i told a story in forms of photographs. From the raw emotions, authentic connections, the glances, details, and moments, all the connections that make every wedding unique.

As the sun begins to set, the wedding ceremony occurs, followed by fun and playful newly wed portraits. And as the day transitions into night, that is when Villa Woodbine’s enchanting ambiance only grows more captivating and dreamy. In my opinion. The twinkle lights add an essence of dreaminess and coziness. Capturing the dinner connections and first dance as newly weds from an almost like aerial view. Followed by the dancing till the sun rises kind of vibes. Such a good time!

I absolutely adored documenting F+J’s Villa Woodbine Tuscany-Inspired Wedding… And I would love to document your destination wedding, whether it is in Villa Woodbine, Miami, USVI, Italy, California, NYC, OR truly anywhere in the world! Let me help you freeze moments of your beautiful day.
