Why settle for just one bridal look when you can have several? ⁠ This stunning bride fell in love with a pearl cape before she even found her dress—talk about a fashion moment meant to be!  For the reception, she made her look even more special by honoring her grandmother, wearing her cherished pearl gloves, necklace, and earrings. A perfect blend of style and sentiment!

Nestled in the heart of Coconut Grove, Villa Woodbine was the perfect venue for Christyn + Alikhan’s romantic Miami wedding. With its historic Mediterranean-Renaissance architecture, lush gardens, and timeless charm, the venue captured the essence of their love story. The couple exchanged vows beneath swaying oak trees, surrounded by loved ones and the soft melodies of a live string quartet. Their reception was a seamless blend of elegance and warmth, featuring gourmet cuisine, twinkling bistro lights, and heartfelt speeches.

When the couple set out to find the perfect photographer for their wedding, they knew they wanted someone who could capture every emotion, detail, and fleeting moment with artistry and authenticity. They chose Cortiella Photography, known for its ability to blend storytelling with breathtaking imagery. From the nervous excitement of getting ready to the joy of their first dance, every glance, laugh, and teary-eyed embrace was preserved in stunning detail. With a keen eye for composition and a talent for capturing natural, unscripted moments, Cortiella Photography turned their wedding day into a timeless collection of memories they will cherish forever.
