Amanda and Steven’s wedding day was the perfect mix of playful and polished. Bright colors were everywhere—from the florals to the fashion—but it all still felt super elevated and elegant. It had that luxe Miami energy… and honestly, who wouldn’t want that?

This entire day was beautifully planned by the incredibly talented Lourdes Milian. Her attention to detail and creative eye brought every element together so seamlessly, which made the day what it was.

One of the sweetest parts of the day was their adorable pup. She was included in all the wedding fun and dressed in the cutest little outfit. It’s safe to say the photos wouldn’t have been the same without her—and The Cardonas captured those moments perfectly.

The couple said “I do” at the iconic Faena Hotel, and if you’ve ever been, you already know it’s a photographer’s dream. From the massive gold mammoth statue by Damien Hirst, to the Tiger Mosaic in the Lobby, to the Cathedral Hallway lined with murals and arched ceilings is a favorite for full-length fashion shots, first looks, or dramatic entrances.—every corner is a vibe. And every shot? Nailed.

And then came the party. From the dramatic cake to the cold sparks and a packed dance floor, this reception was unforgettable. And that moment when white confetti rained down to close out the night? Total perfection.
