Black Tie Biltmore Wedding

It all begins with an idea.

January 2022

Sharene + Chad

BILTMORE HOTEL | MIAMI, FL

This couple right here is family and it was such a joy to see their love beam bright on this beautiful day. 

Sharene and Chad are from South Florida so naturally their engagement and wedding took place right here at the top venues in Miami. 

With a lot of planning and help from family and friends, Chad proposed to Sharene at Vizcaya Museum & Gardens in Miami on December 18th, 2017. 

What comes after a dream proposal? A long engagement and a dream wedding of course.  The love & relationship that these two have, could withstand any challenge that came their way. Yes, even an unprecedented pandemic which pushed them to postpone their initial January 2nd, 2021 wedding. Yet as the wise philosopher, Aristotle, once said “Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.” These two got their dream wedding at the Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables, Miami on January 2nd, 2022. Ringing in the New Year better than they could have imagined.  

The Biltmore is a stunning and picturesque venue that takes you back in time to the roaring 1920s. Resembling the finest and classic Mediterranean architecture. When we first walked through the lobby we were mesmerized by the stunning Mediterranean columns and alluring fountains. The domestic wedding felt like a destination wedding with every detail ranging from lemon trees, olive oil favors, and signage that read “Where in the Mediterranean are you Sitting?”. You definitely felt like you were under the Tuscan sun with no detail left out. Our hearts could barely take it as we were in awe during the reception with the classic white, black, and gold decor that filled the ballroom from top to bottom.

From the chic Morilee gown effortlessly worn by Sharene to the timeless velvet Blacktux rocked by Chad to the classic bow ties, floor length black gowns and feather robes, this wedding party came prepared and dressed to the nines.

Hold your tissues. The waterworks began when the bride and her father had their first look.

Then the tears flowed again with the bride & groom's first look which clearly took our breath away. This is truly a love to stand the test of time.
