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.”

As outdoor photographers in Miami, we know that the best photo season runs from October to May (though April is probably the safest bet!). However, we also know that not every photoshoot can be perfectly planned around the ideal weather conditions. During the rainy season, unpredictable rain showers and humidity can be the worst enemies of photo glamour, leaving clients with sweaty and sticky hair. But sometimes, you just have to roll with the punches and make the most of what you’ve got.

We’ve had the pleasure of photographing bridal sessions for many happy couples during the less-than-ideal season, and the results can be equally stunning! Take Mr. and Mrs. Zhu’s August photo session, for example. Despite the heat and humidity, their love shone through in every shot, and we had so much fun capturing their contagious joy.

At ZZfoto Photographers, we believe that every photoshoot is an opportunity to create something beautiful and unique, regardless of the weather conditions. So if you’re planning a photoshoot during Miami’s rainy season, don’t be afraid to embrace the elements and let your love shine through. With a little creativity and a lot of heart, anything is possible!

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.

On a warm December afternoon in 2019, we did a pre-bridal photo session in the beautiful Doral Park Country Club, a versatile venue for the residents in the City of Doral and beyond.

Check out the sample pix of this gorgeous couple!

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.

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~

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.
