Christina and Chad were married at Douglas Entrance in Coral Gables, Florida, with the bride and her girls getting ready at the nearby Hyatt. Acromatico, a family-run South Florida and New York City photography studio working since 2004, photographed the day as Miami wedding photographers.
Christina, a relaxed, worry-less bride, and Chad got ready ahead of their reception at Douglas Entrance in Coral Gables. The bride and her bridesmaids dressed at the Hyatt in Coral Gables, where Acromatico captured their getting-ready portraits before the celebration moved to the venue.
For Acromatico, the Douglas Entrance reception was a return to a venue the studio loves working in as Miami wedding photographers — the same place where, four months earlier, they had photographed another wedding they hold dear. Christina and Chad were up for anything, which made the day a pleasure to shoot from the first portraits onward.
“When brides are worry-less, everything always ends up going perfectly planned.”
Good to know
Douglas Entrance, known historically as La Puerta del Sol, is a landmark complex in Coral Gables, Florida, an incorporated city within the Miami metropolitan area in Miami-Dade County. Built in the 1920s as one of the grand gateways into George Merrick's planned Mediterranean Revival city, it remains a recognizable Coral Gables address used today for weddings and events. It sits near the eastern edge of Coral Gables, close to the Miami city line and minutes from downtown Coral Gables along Douglas Road and Tamiami Trail (SW 8th Street).
Christina and her bridesmaids prepared at the Hyatt in Coral Gables, which puts the getting-ready location and the Douglas Entrance reception within the same walkable, central-Gables district. For couples planning a Coral Gables wedding, keeping the prep hotel and venue this close shortens travel time on the wedding day and leaves more daylight for portraits in the neighborhood's Mediterranean Revival architecture.
