Michelle and Oscar (called "Chacho" by his friends) married on September 3, 2011, beginning their day at The Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables, Florida, and finishing with a reception at the Renaissance hotel in Miami. Acromatico photographed the full day after their earlier vintage engagement session.
Acromatico called Michelle and Oscar's celebration one of the most awesome weddings of the year. The day began with getting-ready coverage at The Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables, followed by the ceremony and then a reception at the Renaissance hotel in Miami. The couple had already worked with the studio for a vintage engagement session, which made photographing their wedding day a return to a familiar story.
Michelle wore an amazing dress and stunning looks, and Oscar brought his charming ways, with the love the two share carrying through the day. One of the highlights for the studio was seeing ten of their past clients among the guests, a reminder of how quickly the years pass since each of those couples first tied the knot.
“Hands down, this is one of our most awesome weddings of the year.”
Good to know
The Biltmore Hotel sits in Coral Gables, a city in Miami-Dade County known for its Mediterranean Revival architecture and tree-lined streets. Opened in 1926, the hotel is a National Historic Landmark and a recognizable landmark for South Florida weddings, with its tower modeled on the Giralda in Seville. Its grounds and interiors make it a natural setting for getting-ready photographs before a ceremony.
Michelle and Oscar's day moved from Coral Gables into the city of Miami for the reception at the Renaissance hotel, a short drive that keeps a wedding party within the greater Miami area while changing the backdrop from the Gables' historic streets to the city itself. Couples planning a similar route should account for travel time between the two venues when building the day's timeline.
