Editorial bridal and wedding photography across Miami‑Dade, Broward and Palm Beach. I choose the hour before I choose anything else — then the wall, the direction the light travels, and how your dress will move when you turn.

01 — Method

Miami gives you
forty gold minutes.

South Florida light is short and it drops fast. The sand throws it straight back up under the chin, the sun sits near overhead for half the year, and the storm that ruins four o’clock frequently makes six o’clock the best light of the season.

So a session is planned backwards from sunset on your specific date, not forwards from when everyone is ready. That is the whole difference between a photograph of a bride and a photograph worth printing.

I handle the permits too — which venues need one, what it costs, and how long it takes to clear.

02 — The hour

One evening,
planned to the minute.

8:00 AM Early access at Vizcaya

Ninety minutes of low, side-on light across the formal gardens with almost nobody in frame. The permit costs $450 and it is the one worth paying for.

12:00 PM The hours I avoid

Sun near overhead. Hard shadow under the brow, a white dress at the edge of what a sensor holds. We shoot stone and shade here, or we do not shoot.

4:30 PM Gates close at the estates

Vizcaya and Deering both shut before the good light arrives. Knowing that is why we start where we start.

6:42 PM Sunset — the working window

The ninety minutes leading here are the session. Sand first, architecture last, because the towers hold warm reflected light after the beach has lost it.

6:57 PM Fifteen minutes after the sun

Most people pack up. This is frequently the best part of the evening — the sky goes deep and the city comes on behind you.

The photographer

Woody Henry

I am based in Miramar, between Miami and Fort Lauderdale, which puts almost all of South Florida inside an easy morning drive.

I shoot digitally and grade with film in mind: warm skin that stays warm under mixed light, shadows that keep their depth, and color that holds at midday. You will be directed continuously and gently, so you are never left wondering what to do with your hands.
