Nicole + Jonathan hold such a special place in our hearts. From our first call with them, to their gorgeous engagement session at Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, and finally their perfectly dreamy wedding at Gem Mansion in Miami, we truly enjoyed every part of the journey with these two. Their warmth and kindness paired with the fact that they completely trusted us to capture their day inspired us to make beautiful art out of their authentic moments was invaluable. While their wedding was absolutely stunning- from the incredible venue down to every last detail, and their celebration was a blast, the real beauty we love is in these two individuals and their love for each other. Nicole + Jonathan were everything we hope for and dream of in a couple.

Their wedding was one year and one day after our beautiful engagement session with them at Vizcaya Museum and Gardens. The big day took place at Gem Mansion in Miami. We arrived in the morning to find Nicole and her bridesmaids getting ready in the mansion. We were excited to see Nicole’s sweet smile as she sat for her makeup with utter poise- she was calm and effortlessly glamourous. With their hair styled by Styles by Yanel and their makeup impeccably done by Nikki B Beauty, the girls looked absolutely gorgeous and their bride was radiant.

The Gem Mansion had a perfect space for every part of their day- including a hot tub for the girls to dip their feet in as they enjoyed a champagne. They were all smiles and laughter- which made it easy to capture beautiful shot of them as they prepared for the wedding.

After their first look and vows, the couple wandered over to take a peek at their incredible reception space. Beautiful florals from Hope, the owner of The Petal Bar Miami decorated the gorgeous ceremony and reception space at the mansion. Their lovely wedding cake was designed and created by the talented Todo Dulces. A vintage rotary phone by FeteFone allowed their guests to leave messages congratulating the bride and groom. Beautiful Bistro lights by Rays of Light created a glowing ambiance above their grand banquet style tables. Every last detail was exquisite.

The moment arrived- when they were ready to say “I do.” Jonathan was glowing as he walked down the aisle to await his beautiful bride who arrived at the ceremony in a classic Bentley by Florian's Classics and was escorted by her proud father to beautiful live music played by Amadeus Enterprises. The emotion was all over Nicole’s face - overwhelming joy and love.

With entertainment by Elegant Dreams Entertainment, the dance floor was full of fun. The couple brought out light up glow sticks that kept the energy high and made for colorful photos. Whether guests wanted to dance their asses off or keep it low key- there was no shortage of entertainment with cigar rolling by Cigar Stud, a dominoes table, and a photobooth by Bello Entertainment. But the energy skyrocketed when they busted out late night bites from Chick-fil-a! It was a moment-rich celebration perfect for this awesome couple’s wedding.

Nicole and Jonathan enjoyed a private last dance before a sparkler exit and a grand send off. These two were loving and sweet and fun! But more than that, they are just awesome humans- ones that we both adored whose union we were honored to be a witness and capture.

When we left that evening and in the days afterward, Chris and I realized how moved we were by these two people and their loved ones.
