SM4E Wedding Planner

Miami, Florida

Photography & Videography

In Miami: Plan on $3,000 to $10,000, and build the timeline around the light rather than the other way round. This far south the sun sits close to overhead in the middle of the day and is unflattering for it; the good window comes late and closes fast, with none of the long dusk a northern wedding gets. Humidity is the thing that catches visiting photographers out — a lens carried from a cold room into outdoor air fogs and stays fogged for several minutes, which is why photographers who work here stage their gear ahead of a moment instead of arriving into it. Ask what the rain plan is, and ask specifically about any location you have in mind that is public, whether a park, a causeway or a stretch of sand, since access there may carry its own rules.

These are the vendors whose work you'll live with the longest — the day itself passes in hours; the photographs and film last for decades. Book early, because the most sought-after are gone nine to twelve months out. Look past a pretty highlight reel to full galleries of real, complete weddings, a shooting style you genuinely love (bright and airy vs. dark and moody, posed vs. documentary), and a personality you'll happily have at your elbow from getting-ready to send-off. Confirm the hours of coverage, whether a second shooter is included, exactly what you'll receive, and the turnaround time.
