Shooting At Ancient Spanish Monastery
Updated September 2026
The Ancient Spanish Monastery in North Miami Beach is a reconstructed cloister with stone arches, gardens, and a chapel-like atmosphere that photographs as a European estate day inside South Florida. The architecture does most of the work: repeating arches, textured stone, and garden paths give depth to both documentary coverage and formal portraits.
We plan portrait blocks around the softest light in the cloisters and gardens. Midday sun can be harsh in open courtyards, so we favor shade lines along the arches and late-afternoon sessions when stone warms without blowing highlights. Ceremony coverage usually stays close to the garden or cloister seating so we can move quickly into couple portraits without a long location change.
Because the property is historic and outdoor-forward, vendor rules and weather backups matter. We keep a covered path in the timeline for summer storm risk and confirm any photography restrictions before the day so we are not inventing a plan on site.
Share your ceremony site and reception flow on the free consult. We will map package hours to the monastery schedule and your guest count so formals and cocktail-hour storytelling both fit.

Honestly still looking through the gallery from our wedding in Pinecrest and I’m just so grateful to Candid Studios!! These guys made everything feel so effortless even with the crazy heat on the day. Our photographer captured all the little candid moments we didn’t even notice happening and our videographer got the most perfect shots of the ceremony that honestly brought us both to tears. You get exactly what you pay for and then some. If anyone is looking for wedding photography and videography in Miami I couldn’t recommend them more!

We just got our engagement gallery back and honestly I am still scrolling through it every five minutes because they are absolutely stunning. Candid Studios made the whole process so easy from start to finish which was a huge relief since we were already stressed about planning everything else. The pre production questionnaire actually helped us so much with the vision for the day because it gave us clear guidelines on what to wear and where to go. Our photographer was incredible at blending into the background during our first look near the water at The Atlantic Hotel & Spa without being intrusive at all and then captured those quiet moments during our vows later in the evening with such care. We really wanted someone who understood engagement photography in Florida and how to capture that specific warm light which y'all totally nailed. The Atlantic is a gorgeous spot but also has tight spaces so it was impressive how you managed to find angles that made everything look spacious and romantic. Highly recommend these guys to anyone looking for photography in Fort Lauderdale because they just get it and we are already talking about booking them for the wedding.

Candid Studios really knocked it out of the park for our portrait session in Pompano Beach. Our photographer was so easy to work with and totally put us at ease even though we were feeling a little awkward on set. We are still looking through the gallery and just keep laughing at how natural some of these photos turned out.

Ryan captured every single moment perfectly and got some great candid shots. How he managed to be everywhere at once and the quality of service and photos delivered was beyond what I expected.
