 Recommendations
* Wedding Photography
I usually don't recommend that you put a member of your family in charge of your wedding photos.
First, that friend or family member is there as your invited guest - to see you getting married, not to work. If you want great photos and if you want your wedding day photography to go off without any problems let us take care of hiring a professional wedding photographer for you.
We use only professional wedding photographers, who are reliable and familiar with local venues and climate. We will manage the entire event so you don't have to worry about a thing.
* Timing Is Everything
It's an old cliche, but true. "Timing is everything." Since most weddings are held during the sunset hour, our timing and the final time-line is critical; you have at most 50 minutes from start to finish. Not 60 minutes, not 90 minutes. Keep in mind, if we miss this rather small window of time for light, your photos may not turn out as you want.
* Coordination and Planning
My staff and I are hired to be there to work and make sure your special event goes off without a worry. The more we do the less you have to worry about. It's your wedding day. Let us take care of the details, the coordination, and everything else that needs attention-to-detail. Our fee is very reasonable compared to virtually any other similarly offered services in Miami Beach.
A Few More Planning Tips
* Please, Consider Creating a Budget
It's not a restriction, it's an allowance; it will allow you to see and have what's important to you for YOUR wedding.
* Your wedding ceremony is a special and sacred event. Please, ask your guests not to take pictures during your wedding ceremony. Besides, I'm sure that you would prefer seeing your guests faces and expressions as you exchange your wedding vows instead of cameras covering their faces.
* Brides & Grooms
Are your teeth recently whitened? This sounds like a silly question, but it's a very important one to ask - and answer. Especially if you are wearing white. Nothing ruins a beautiful photograph of a perfectly dazzling bride in an incredible white wedding dress wearing a smile - who looks like she has no teeth!
* What Should We Wear
Couples always ask me: "What should I wear?"
For a beach wedding, cool, comfortable, light colors, light natural fabrics that move with the breeze. And on your feet - a great pedicure; it doesn't have to be fancy, just clean and polished (plus, who doesn't love getting a great pedicure!)
Remember, walking on the beach other than in your bare feet is awkward and a bit difficult. If it's a beach wedding - footwear is always optional!
* Wedding Cake (on the beach)
I do not recommend serving wedding cake on the beach. While it may seem fun and something that you'd like to do after your ceremony, the seagulls on the beach quickly can ruin your wedding. Instead, I suggest having the wedding cake delivered to the restaurant reserved your reception/dinner. You can have the traditional cake cutting early, then later the plated cake can be served for dessert.
* Sunset Weddings
Sunset weddings on Miami Beach are exceptionally glorious. True, it's a bit hot during the day (summers), but it cools down at sunset - and the colors are extraordinary, especially as reflected on the skin, creating an unmatched peach blush and "golden" appearance. There's nothing like it!
An Easy, Practical, and Fun Idea

Ready To Go? (Terms of Service)
* Once we have confirmed your date and other details we will send you a standard contract. It's nothing overwhelming, or overly complicated, but details what we are responsible for, what we are doing for you, and what your responsibilities are. You return it signed with a 50%, non-refundable deposit.
Marriage License Information for Florida
Requirements To Get A Marriage License in Florida
* Both of you must be present, both of you at least 18 years old, and you will be required to show picture IDs (valid drivers’ license or passport are fine). If you have been previously married, know the date the marriage ended (official divorce date) or death, fill out a short form, sign, swear that it true, pay a fee (about $94) - and you will get a marriage license.
* Where Do You Get Your Licence
You can get your marriage license at any District Courthouse.
In Miami Beach, the address is:
Miami Beach District Court
1130 Washington Ave
Miami Beach FL 33139
305-275-1155
Hours: Mon-Fri 9am-4pm
* Non-Florida Residents
There is no wait time associated with getting your marriage license! Simply get your marriage license and you're ready-to-go.
* Florida Residents
There is a three (3) day wait period. It’s best to get your marriage license in your own county at least 3 days before the wedding date and bring it with you.
 Confirming Your Date & Time
Upon receipt of your deposit, we will send you a FINAL CONFIRMATION by email, which we will ask that you confirm receiving - you're all set!
* At an appropriate time before you actual wedding ceremony, usually within 24 to 48 hours of your actual wedding, we will meet with you and finalize all details - including important marriage license information (we want to make this official, right!).
* We'll also firm-up our timeline and give you any instructions or directions you may need. Payment of your balance, in full, is due at that time. In other words, 24 hours before your wedding - then, everything is all set!
Questions
* If you have additional questions I'd love to hear from you. There is only so much we can cover on a web page.
