Miami Wedding Photographer

Yes. Candid Studios is headquartered in Sunny Isles Beach, in Miami-Dade County, and Miami is one of our home cities for both photography and videography. Our Miami-area work runs from The Ancient Spanish Monastery in North Miami Beach to Schnebly Redland's Winery in Homestead, and Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, Orlando, Tampa and Jacksonville are Florida home cities too. We have documented weddings and events since 2016.

Couples in the Miami area celebrate at venues like The Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables, Villa Woodbine in Coconut Grove, Villa Toscana in Homestead. Vizcaya Museum and Gardens also hosts weddings: its evening rentals run from 6:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., and caterers, planners and vendors must come from its approved vendor list. A ceremony on Miami Beach public property needs a city ceremony permit, applied for at least 14 days ahead.

Yes. Book photography, videography or both. A combined booking puts one lead photographer and one lead videographer on the same plan, which helps when getting ready, the ceremony and the reception are in different Miami neighborhoods. Our engagement session at Vizcaya Museum and Gardens was photographed and filmed by the same team. Every video package includes 4K UHD footage, one edited film whose length you choose and all of your original RAW video files.

Peak wedding season runs roughly December through April, when humidity and rain are lowest. Atlantic hurricane season runs June 1 to November 30 and overlaps the hot, humid summer, with storm activity peaking August through October, so outdoor summer and early-fall dates carry higher weather risk. Whatever date you choose, we plan coverage around the local light and weather.

Miami wedding photography with Candid Studios starts at $690 for 2-hour coverage. Each hour is $295 per service with editing included and a 2-hour minimum, and long days cost less per hour: 10% off at 8 hours, 15% off at 12 hours and 20% off at 18 hours or more of combined photo and video coverage, with no hidden fees. In Miami, check the clock for fall dates: sunset is about 6:40 p.m. on October 31, 2026 and about 5:39 p.m. on November 1, when daylight saving time ends, so portraits before dark may need earlier hours. Your free consultation sets hours against your timeline; call (844) 522-6343 or see candidstudios.net/pricing.

Wedding videography in Miami with Candid Studios starts at $920 for 2-hour coverage, and photo plus video from one coordinated team starts at $1,595 for 2-hour coverage. Venue rules can matter as much as hours. Vizcaya Museum and Gardens prices a daytime garden ceremony at $2,000 for up to 25 guests and counts photographers among those guests, so ask the venue how a film crew is counted before you plan for both. Your free consultation matches hours and crew to your venue; see candidstudios.net/pricing or call (844) 522-6343.

It depends on what the $4,000 buys. Miami wedding photography with Candid Studios starts at $690 for 2-hour coverage. Every hour is billed from a published rate, and RAW files, editing and a print release are included rather than sold as extras, so a budget is measured in hours of coverage. Some Miami costs sit outside any photographer's quote: the Miami-Dade Clerk charges $86 for a marriage license, or $61 with a premarital course. Ask for a written proposal for your date and venue; an inquiry alone does not confirm availability or a final price.

Not if it buys the coverage your day needs. Candid Studios bills $295 per hour per service with editing included, so the real question is how many hours your Miami timeline takes and whether you need a second shooter. Weather is the local variable worth paying attention to: Atlantic hurricane season peaks around September 10, so a late-summer or early-fall date deserves a covered backup and time to use it. Photo plus video from one coordinated team starts at $1,595 for 2-hour coverage.

Yes. Every Candid Studios photography package for a Miami wedding includes all of the original RAW files at no extra charge, along with every delivered image professionally edited, a high-res online gallery and a print release for unlimited personal printing. RAW files keep more detail in bright highlights and deep shadows than finished JPEGs, which helps with Miami's hard midday sun on water, sand and white stone if you or another editor want to rework a frame later. Video packages include the original RAW footage too.

Book once your venue and date are set: a 50% retainer and a signed contract hold the day. Availability is confirmed after review; an inquiry does not reserve your date. A few Miami deadlines sit on your side of the calendar. A Miami-Dade marriage license is valid for 60 days after it is issued, and Florida residents have a three-day waiting period before the wedding (non-residents are exempt). A Miami Beach public-property ceremony permit must be applied for at least 14 days ahead, and Vizcaya portrait permit reservations open about 4 to 6 weeks out.

Each photography package includes one lead photographer, and a second photographer or videographer is an optional paid upgrade, with hours and price confirmed in your proposal. In Miami it earns its place when two things happen at once, such as partners getting ready in separate hotels, or at a large reception: Vizcaya's East Terrace seats up to 300 guests, and its Main House up to 100. For an elopement or a small garden ceremony, one lead photographer is often enough.

Edited photos typically arrive about 3 weeks after the event and films about 3 months (median of recent deliveries), with rush options available. Your Miami gallery arrives online at full resolution with a print release and all RAW files included. For a sense of size, the complete gallery from our Miami engagement session at Vizcaya holds more than 1,800 images, and the full gallery from a Homestead wedding at Schnebly Redland's Winery more than 600. Files stay online for 30 days after delivery, then move to lifetime archive on our home server; restoring an item later (finished photo gallery, final videos, RAW photos or RAW video) costs $150 from your client portal and keeps it available for another 30 days.

Yes. One Candid Studios photographer and videographer work from a single timeline, so they can plan positions together instead of working around each other. That matters most in Miami's wet season, May 15 to October 15, when South Florida gets 60 to 70% of its yearly rain according to the National Weather Service in Miami: when a ceremony moves under cover, both move to the rain plan together. Combined packages usually cost less than hiring two separate companies.

Yes. From Miami we cover all of Miami-Dade, south to Homestead, where we have photographed a wedding at Schnebly Redland's Winery, and north into Broward and Palm Beach counties, where Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach are home cities of their own. A Florida marriage license from the Miami-Dade Clerk lets you marry anywhere in Florida, Keys included, and we travel for destination weddings anywhere in the U.S. Travel fees, if any, are quoted upfront during your free consultation.

The right one is the photographer whose complete galleries look like the day you are planning. Ask every Miami candidate for a full wedding gallery, not a highlight set, ideally from a venue like yours, and look at how they handled hard midday sun and fast-changing weather. Candid Studios is headquartered in Sunny Isles Beach and photographs and films weddings across Miami-Dade; the venues we have worked and our Vizcaya engagement film are on this page. Compare them, then book a free consultation.

Miami wedding photography commonly runs $3,000 to $7,000+ for full-day coverage depending on hours, team size, and season. Candid Studios photography starts at $690 for 2 hours and reaches $2,655 for 10 hours. Two Miami costs sit outside any photographer's quote and belong in the same budget: a Vizcaya portrait permit if you want engagement photos in its gardens ($250 on weekdays, $350 on weekends) and the Miami-Dade marriage license ($86, or $61 with a premarital course). See our Miami wedding photographer cost guide for current tiers.

About $4,000 is a common mid-market spend for several hours of professional wedding photography in Miami. With Candid Studios, photography starts at $690 for 2 hours and grows by the hour, so measure any budget against your venue's schedule: Vizcaya's evening rental window alone is four and a half hours, from 6:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. Compare hours, editing, RAW files and delivery, not only the headline price.

$5,000 is not unusual for full-day Miami wedding photography with a second shooter, especially in peak winter and spring. Whether it is "too much" depends on your day. A ceremony on Miami Beach public property is limited to 150 people and 4 hours under the city permit, and short coverage may be all it needs, while a reception for 300 on Vizcaya's East Terrace is where a second shooter earns its fee. Candid Studios photography starts at $690, and photo plus video at $1,595.

Many Miami couples spend roughly $3,000 to $7,000+ for full-day wedding photography depending on hours, second shooters, and season. Candid Studios photography packages start at $690 for 2 hours and go up to $2,655 for 10 hours, with transparent photo plus video bundles from $1,595. Get a date-specific quote on a free consultation rather than relying on a single city average.

Fix the venue and date first, because Miami venue rules shape who you can hire. Vizcaya, for example, requires caterers, planners and vendors to come from its approved vendor list, so ask your venue coordinator what applies to photographers. Then compare full wedding galleries, not highlight images, confirm hours and whether you need a second shooter, and ask how the team handles a rain plan in the May 15 to October 15 wet season. Candid Studios offers a free consultation before any deposit.

The best wedding videographer in Miami for your day is the team whose full films, not only highlight reels, match your venue and the way you want the day to feel. Candid Studios has photographed and filmed more than 3,000 events since 2016 and films Miami weddings in 4K, with videography packages from $920 for 2 hours and full-day 8-hour coverage at $2,124. Watch the Miami films on this page, then book a free consultation.

Yes. Candid Studios photographs and films weddings across Miami-Dade, from The Ancient Spanish Monastery in North Miami Beach to Schnebly Redland's Winery in Homestead. Book either service alone or both with one coordinated team. Every video package includes 4K UHD coverage and one professionally edited film whose length you choose, from a short highlight to full coverage, at no change in price.

Every Candid Studios videography package includes 4K UHD coverage by a lead videographer, one professionally edited film whose length you choose (from a short highlight to full coverage), all original RAW video files, a private online gallery and a pre-event planning consultation. Coverage starts at $920 for 2 hours, full-day 8-hour coverage is $2,124, and photo plus video with one coordinated team starts at $1,595. To see the result in a Miami setting, watch the engagement film we shot in the gardens at Vizcaya.

Yes. Candid Studios is fully insured, and our current proof of insurance is at https://cdn.candidstudios.net/legal/proof-of-insurance.pdf for your Miami venue coordinator; booked clients also find it in the client portal under Documents, For your venue. When a venue needs to be named as additional insured or wants special certificate wording, send us its exact legal name and contact email and we will issue a custom COI. A ceremony on Miami Beach public property is different: the city's permit asks the applicant for a certificate of insurance naming the City of Miami Beach as additional insured.

Yes. Book both and one Candid Studios team covers stills and film from a shared timeline, with combined packages starting at $1,595. That coordination counts at Miami venues with fixed windows: Vizcaya allows daytime garden ceremonies only between 9:30 a.m. and 3:00 p.m., so a photographer and videographer working one plan lose fewer minutes setting up around each other. A combined booking usually costs less than hiring separate photography and videography vendors.

We do not rank them by count. Weddings we have photographed in the Miami area include One K Miami, The Ancient Spanish Monastery in North Miami Beach and Schnebly Redland's Winery in Homestead, and we photographed and filmed an engagement session at Vizcaya Museum and Gardens. Our venue guides also cover The Biltmore Hotel, Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden, Deering Estate, The Rusty Pelican and other Miami-Dade venues; a guide describes the venue and does not mean we have worked there.

Candid Studios engagement sessions in Miami book as a photography package from $690 for 2 hours. Every delivered image is professionally edited and delivered in a private online gallery with full print release. An engagement session is also included in our 8-hour Signature wedding packages.

Popular Miami engagement locations include Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, South Beach, Brickell skyline spots, and quieter neighborhood streets and cafes. Some landmarks require a photo permit or a reserved session time, so we confirm the rules and plan around the best light when we schedule your session. Our Miami engagement location guide covers more options.

Compare full films, not only highlight reels, and ask what you receive besides the film. Candid Studios wedding videography in Miami is shot in 4K UHD by one lead videographer, includes all original RAW video files and a private video review tool, and starts at $920 for 2 hours of coverage. Every job has two camera bodies and multiple memory cards, and if your shooter cannot attend you get a comparable substitute at no extra cost. Our Google rating is 4.83 stars from 282 Google reviews across all Candid Studios locations.

Yes. Book wedding videography on its own, photography on its own, or both with one coordinated team. A video package has one lead videographer, and a combined booking has one lead photographer and one lead videographer. Combined photo and video starts at $1,595 for 2 hours.

Affordable starts with buying only the hours you need, and our prices are published so you can work that out before you call. Videography starts at $920 for 2 hours and photography at $690. In Miami a small ceremony can fit a short booking: Vizcaya's daytime garden ceremony is for up to 25 guests, and a ceremony on Miami Beach public property is limited to 4 hours under the city permit. A 50% retainer and a signed contract secure your date, and the balance is due the day of your event or split into two payments before the event at no extra cost.

Recent Miami-area weddings include One K Miami and The Ancient Spanish Monastery in North Miami Beach. That is not a full list. If yours is new to us, we plan light, travel time and formals around that property's rules.
