Ann and David's engagement session was photographed at Vizcaya Museum and Gardens in the Coconut Grove neighborhood of Miami, Florida, by Acromatico, a family-run photography and brand studio working across South Florida and New York City since 2004. The bride-to-be wore a striking gown for the shoot.
This session is one of Acromatico's favorites from 2018, with a great deal to love about it: the gorgeous location at Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, paired with the stunning dress this bride-to-be chose to wear. Choosing favorite frames for the blog was genuinely hard.
The result is a set of engagement portraits of Ann and David made on the grounds of one of Miami's most distinctive historic estates, the kind of backdrop that makes narrowing down the gallery a happy problem.
“From the gorgeous location at Vizcaya Museum and Gardens to the stunning dress this gorgeous bride-to-be decided to wear, theres absolutely everything to love about it.”
Good to know
Vizcaya Museum and Gardens sits along the shore of Biscayne Bay in the Coconut Grove neighborhood of Miami, Florida. Built in the early 20th century as the estate of businessman James Deering, it is an Italian Renaissance-style villa surrounded by formal European-inspired gardens, fountains, statuary, and a stone barge breakwater set in the bay. Today it operates as a public museum and is designated a National Historic Landmark, which makes it one of South Florida's most recognizable settings for engagement and wedding photography.
Couples planning a shoot here should know that Vizcaya is an active museum with paid admission and a photography permit policy, so timing and access are worth confirming in advance. The villa's stone arcades, the central courtyard, the formal gardens, and the bayfront barge each offer a distinct backdrop within a single location, which is part of why it remains a favorite among Miami photographers.
