A portrait session at Vizcaya Museum and Gardens in Miami, where we photographed Yesenia and Jason celebrating part of their 20th wedding anniversary. From the iconic mansion to the bay and manicured European gardens, Vizcaya offers many distinct scenes in one breathtaking location.
Vizcaya has always been a playground for us as photographers, because it has so much to offer. From the beautiful mansion that's an iconic place to visit in South Florida, to the gorgeous manicured gardens that are always breathtaking to see. Even though it's one place, Vizcaya truly offers so many different scenarios for a photoshoot. The bay is definitely one of our favorites, along with the European vibes that you can't get anywhere else but in Vizcaya Museums and Gardens.
Yesenia and Jason have been married for 20 years, and we were thrilled to celebrate part of their 20th anniversary in this special setting. They shared with us that their wedding photos were not what they were expecting, so they were hoping to keep memories for their children that they'll be proud to show off. It was truly an honor serving them and seeing these incredible memories come to life.
Vizcaya's iconic coral cave is a little hidden gem worth seeking out, and the famous Ironman movie scene was filmed here too. If they chose it as a location, it should tell you that Vizcaya is quite remarkable. You'll feel as if you're taking photos in Europe while being in Miami. If you'd like to create memories of your own here, feel free to reach out to us.

View our photographyVizcaya Museum and Gardens is a National Historic Landmark in the Coconut Grove neighborhood of Miami, Florida, set on Biscayne Bay. The early-20th-century estate pairs an Italian Renaissance–style villa with formal European gardens, which is why portrait sessions here can feel like Italy without leaving Miami. The grounds cover dozens of acres, including a bayfront setting and the well-known Coral Cave. Vizcaya has also appeared on screen, notably in scenes from Marvel's Iron Man.
Arrive early and book enough time — Acromatico recommends roughly 2.5 to 3 hours of coverage, since two hours rarely covers the photo permits, the walk across the grounds, and all the scenes Vizcaya offers. Because the estate is grand, almost any wardrobe works, from a gala dress to a light and airy look; two outfits give you more variety, and there's a place on site to change. Finally, choose a photographer who knows Vizcaya well so the hidden details, like the Coral Cave, aren't missed.
