Modern Tropical Faena Hotel Miami Wedding

Benjamin and Nate's wedding began at a private residence, where they spent the first part of the day surrounded by family and friends. The gallery opens with details and photographs of both grooms at the house before moving into the ceremony in the same setting.

The ceremony brought plenty of emotional moments, but also lots of laughter that continued through the speeches and conversations later that evening. Those moments between Benjamin and Nate and the people around them became an important part of the photographs.

For the reception, everyone moved to Faena Hotel Miami Beach. Masi Events and Ceci New York brought bolder color, florals, and custom details into the celebration, giving the evening a very different feeling from the ceremony at home.

Once the reception began, I focused less on the setting and more on what was happening between the guests: speeches, conversations, laughter, and the celebration's energy. Together with the quieter photographs from the house, they show two very different sides of Benjamin and Nate's wedding day.
