Melissa and Jose returned to Vizcaya Museum and Gardens in Miami, Florida for an after-wedding session with Acromatico, photographed at the very same estate where they had earlier tied the knot. It was one of two back-to-back day-after sessions the studio shot that weekend.
Melissa and Jose had already married at Vizcaya Museum and Gardens in Miami, and for their day-after session they chose to return to that exact location. Acromatico photographed them there as one of two back-to-back after-wedding sessions over a single weekend.
The studio described Melissa and Jose as a truly down-to-earth couple, and thanked them for making the team feel like part of the family during the shoot. This gallery collects a set of the studio's favorites from their after-wedding session at the estate.
“They couldn't have chosen a better location for their after session — it was in the same place where they tied the knot.”
Good to know
Vizcaya Museum and Gardens is a National Historic Landmark estate on the shore of Biscayne Bay in the Coconut Grove area of Miami, Florida. Built as an early-20th-century Italian Renaissance-style villa, it is set among formal gardens, fountains, and a stone barge breakwater on the water, which is why it remains one of South Florida's most recognizable settings for weddings, day-after sessions, and portraits.
A day-after (or "after-wedding") session lets a couple wear their wedding attire again without the timeline of the wedding day itself, so there is room to explore the grounds at an unhurried pace. For Melissa and Jose, returning to the same estate where they married made the gardens and bayfront architecture do double duty: the place that hosted their ceremony also became the backdrop for their portraits. Vizcaya is a ticketed museum with public visiting hours, so couples photographing on the grounds should plan around the estate's access and photography policies in advance.
