Luxury Miami Wedding

From the moment we arrived at The Glass Venue, it was clear that Stelle and Amani’s wedding would be a study in modern Miami glamour and luxury. The space—minimal, sunlit, and impeccably styled—set the tone for a celebration that felt both fashion-forward and intimately personal. Every detail was intentional, & every moment unfolded with effortless elegance.

In the early afternoon, Stelle and Amani got ready together at the W Hotel in Miami Beach, surrounded by a small group of close friends and family. Their suite overlooked the ocean, with soft natural light pouring in as the morning unfolded. The energy was calm but joyful—music playing, champagne being passed around, and an easy closeness in the room. Before changing into their gown and tux, Stelle and Amani spent a bit of time with me for portraits—just the two of them, taking it all in before the day officially began. As their photographer, having that extra space and time during the getting ready hours allowed me to slow down and get more creative with how I documented the morning.

The Glass Venue was the perfect setting for Stelle and Amani’s celebration—modern, minimal, and effortlessly refined. With its clean architectural lines, expansive windows, and striking natural light, it offered that quintessential sleek Miami feel. The space served as a blank canvas that elevated every design detail. This wedding was the perfect blend of Miami luxury.

Stelle looked absolutely stunning in her strapless Galia Lahav gown, which shimmered with the kind of detail that catches light in all the right places. There was a timeless elegance to her look—old Hollywood meets modern luxury. Amani kept it classic in a sharp black tux, and together they were the definition of Miami glamour.

We photographed Stelle & Amani on 35mm Kodak Portra 400 film, which allowed us to captured the light so beautifully throughout the day. The softness and depth of the film brought a richness to every frame—elevating the texture, tone, and emotion in a way only analog can.

The design of the reception was bold, romantic, and Miami luxe. Large circular tables anchored the space, each adorned with red roses cascading over the edges in dramatic, sculptural arrangements. Tall glass candles added height and a soft glow, creating an atmosphere that felt both elevated and inviting. The deep red florals against the sleek gold accents brought richness and warmth to the modern setting.

Nothing could have prepared us for the party that followed. Stelle and Amani didn’t just want a dance floor—they wanted an experience. Professional dancers kept the energy electric all night long, and guests fully leaned in. It was wild in the best way. One of those nights where time disappears and every frame you shoot feels like it belongs in a music video.

Stelle and Amani’s wedding was a seamless blend of style, energy, and intimacy—every detail curated, every moment genuine. From the slow, sunlit morning at the W Hotel to the bold, high-gloss celebration at The Glass Venue, the day unfolded with ease and intention. Capturing it all on 35mm film brought a sense of depth and texture that digital rarely matches—honest, tactile, and full of life. It was the kind of celebration that lingers, not just for how it looked, but for how it felt.
