It was a Saturday morning in November 2022, and we were excited to capture some beautiful shots in the garden’s stunning surroundings, but the weather had other plans. As soon as we arrived, the heavens opened, and heavy rain began to pour down upon us. Despite the unexpected deluge, however, everyone involved was in great spirits and determined to make the most of the situation.

Armed with umbrellas and good humor, we proceeded to capture some truly unique shots that we never could have planned for. The rain added an extra layer of texture and beauty to the photos, and our clients were happy to embrace the wet and wild atmosphere. We were also fortunate to have the whole garden to ourselves for 2.5 hours, thanks to Vizcaya’s Premium Sunrise Permit, which gave us the freedom to explore and experiment without any interruptions.

Despite the challenging weather, we all had a blast and laughed our way through the photoshoot, creating memories that will last a lifetime. We’re already looking forward to our next sunrise photoshoot (minus the rain, of course!), and we can’t wait to see what kind of magic we’ll capture next.”

At ZZfoto Photographers, we pride ourselves on our ability to create timeless and beautiful photos for our clients. Many of our clients come from around the world specifically for their bridal and engagement photos taken in Miami. And why wouldn’t they? Miami boasts stunning natural scenery and iconic architecture that provide the perfect backdrop for creating lasting memories.

Our classic combo session of South Beach at dawn followed by Vizcaya is a customer favorite that never gets old. This dynamic duo of locations provides the perfect combination of beachy, tropical vibes and Old-World elegance. From the morning sun rising over the Atlantic to the sandy beach and film-worthy seaside mansion and gardens of Vizcaya, our classic combo captures the very essence of Miami’s unique beauty and architectural grandeur. This particular photo session, taken in March 2020, is just one example of the magic we can create in these iconic Miami locations.

Daicy and Jairo’s wedding was the first wedding we had the pleasure of photographing in 2020, on a beautiful January morning in Miami. The picturesque Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden in Coral Gables provided the perfect backdrop for their wedding ceremony, and we captured stunning photos of the lovely couple in various spots around the garden.

During the photo session, we were lucky enough to capture a rare moment when a butterfly landed on Jairo while inside the exotic butterfly garden. It was a magical moment that we were thrilled to capture and incorporate into their wedding album.

The festivities continued with a fun and beautiful wedding reception at the one-of-a-kind Dolores But You Can Call Me Lolita in Brickell. We were honored to be a part of their special day and grateful for the opportunity to capture their love story. Daicy and Jairo, thank you for entrusting us with your memories!

We had the honor of shooting the wedding ceremony & reception for a lovely couple on a pleasant 2018 spring afternoon at the Deering Bay Yacht & Country Club in Coral Gables. The couple, their families and the wedding party are really photogenic and super nice to work with.

We started the photo shoot in the dressing suits where the wedding parties were getting ready. Don’t be surprised to see a photo showing the bride and groom seeing each other walking out of their dressing rooms. Prior to that there was actually a mini special ceremony when the groom and the groomsmen welcomed the bride and bridesmaids’s arrival in a limo in different outfits. And this is completely normal in the Chinese tradition.

The Ceremony was very well designed and absolutely beautiful, one of the most touching ones we’ve ever photographed. Using a drone to deliver the wedding rings was also memorable and fun to witness. And the florists did a wonderful job to make the whole scene dreamy.

After the ceremony, we hopped on golf carts with the wedding party to take photos on the gorgeous landscapes of Deering Bay Yacht & Country Club (big thanks to the ultra friendly and helpful Deering Bay staff) and ended the photo shoot with the First Dance. We heard the peacocks singing when we drove out. Such an unforgettable event and place!

Please enjoy some of the selected moments from that day:

We did a bridal photo session in August 2019 for a beautiful couple in Vizcaya Museum & Gardens. Summer is not considered a typical or ideal season for photo shoots because of the humidity, high temperatures and unpredictable weathers in South Florida. But we were able to pull it off for this traveling couple who only had a whole day in Miami.

We have done many bridal photo sessions at Vizcaya and we are always able to discover new inspirations shooting here. We hope you enjoying seeing photos from this session as well as any previous sessions.

on a beautiful late afternoon in May 2017, we were given the task of photographing a “surprise beach bridal” session at the Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park for a group of friend who were visiting Miami. The group of friends were so thoughtful they even secretly prepared a bridal gown and the whole set of wedding party dresses and suit just to make their visit to the south Florida beaches a life long memory. It was a lot of fun doing the hour-long photo session. We loved the dynamics of the group and how they truly cared about each other, especially the two main characters. This special photo shoot certainly gave us something special to cherish too.

On an ultra fabulous morning of a Miami winter in the beginning of 2019, we did a two-location photo session for a lovely couple traveling from China. The lucky man is an UM alumnus so we also did a bonus photo for the couple with the university sign on campus.

We did a fun photo shoot for this lovely couple at Bill Baggs State Park. Afterward, they specifically requested to have some shots taken in front of a church, we were lucky to find this church called Plymouth Congregational Church in the heart of Coconut Grove to get some creative shots done in front of the church.

Happy Belated New Year 2018! We’ve been extremely busy and haven’t had the chance to update our site, but I still want to take this moment to say a big THANK YOU to our clients, who put their full trust in us to capture their happiest moments in life. And that makes us feel extremely grateful. We look forward to an even more exciting year ahead of us.

Cheers!

We recently did an Engagement photoshoot for Flora and her fiancé in South Beach and Matheson Hammock Park in Coral Gables. Both places are free of charge – extra bonus at no cost for fabulous photos!

They are such a beautiful and fun couple, and we took so many photos worth sharing! In this post you will see the photos from Matheson Park in Coral Gables. Find the Part-1 photos here.

Lately Vizcaya and Bill Baggs State Park has become popular combo locations for bridal photography. They are perfect for afternoon sessions especially in Miami’s “winter time” when the sun is soft and sets early. Following are selected photos from a mid-February bridal photo session. The bride is so beautiful and sweet. And the groom is simply a gentleman. Together they are a perfect couple!

In the beginning of the year we did a bridal photo shoot for a lovely couple in Vizcaya and Bill Baggs State Park in Key Biscayne. They were so photogenic and fun to work with!

We shot another beautiful couple in Vizcaya on New Year’s Day, 2017. They were such a fun couple to shoot, and photogenic! We truly enjoyed the photo session.

Without further ado, here goes the fabulous them~

Happy New Year!

We were very excited to photograph this lovely couple at the Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden last December. While we have been members of Fairchild for years and visit often, it was our first time photographing clients at this location (while a majority of our work was done on the beach or at Vizcaya Museum & Garden).

Jason and Wei are very much like us: They love cats, they love nature, and they love exotic tropical plants! So of course they picked this awesome spot for their engagement photo shoot.  We have hand picked a few photos to display here.

If you are interested in booking a photo session with us (in Fairchild or any other fabulous places in Miami), please do not hesitant to contact us!

Enjoy!

We recently did a bridal photo shoot in the formal outdoor gardens in the Vizcaya Museum for a lovely couple, whom traveled all the way from China to Miami for their holiday vacation. Despite the ongoing constructions in Vizcaya, we were still able to capture some fabulous moments and exciting memories for them to bring back to China. Below are some of our favorite picks from this photo shoot.

We did a bridal/engagement photo session for Xing and his lovely fiancée under the beautiful morning sun on South Beach, Miami. The breezy wind, crystal blue ocean, beautiful people and dresses… Everything was perfect!

Here are just a few of them.

We recently photographed a lovely couple’s wedding near Fort Lauderdale, FL. I would say this is another yet very unconventional wedding, as the couple rented a nice property on Airbnb, and all the decorations and food, including the wedding cakes, were prepared by Xixi’s best friends who flew from as far as Nanjing, China to attend the wedding!

We did a bridal photo shoot for Si with three different bridal gowns under the gorgeous Miami morning sun in South Beach and Matheson Park. Playing dress ups is so much fun! We all enjoyed it.

We’ve had the honor to traveled to Dallas in late December of 2015 to photograph Yin and Vicky’s wedding.

It was a very nontraditional wedding — we’ve had a lot of fun shooting at one of Yin’s favorite local mountain bike trail called Harry Moss Park, where Yin rode mountain bike for the first time and fall in love with the sports. Apparently that’s where Yin took Vicky for her first ride too!

The wedding ceremony was held at a unique local venue in the eclectic, bohemian neighborhood of Oak Cliff, just outside of Dallas. In a restaurant cafe named Bolsa Mercado — a very relaxed atmosphere with friends and families gathered here from all over the world to attend this very special event.

A big congratulations to the lovely couple, and may you be happy ever after!
