Biltmore Hotel Coral Gables Wedding | Anika + Boaz

Monday, January 23, 2012

I’ve been dying to shoot a wedding at the Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables forever.  It’s a stunning, historic hotel that’s located in beautiful Coral Gables and one of the most exclusive wedding venues in South Florida.  As if that wasn’t enough Anika and Boaz are gorgeous, charming, completely in love and not afraid to show it.   I cried my way through the ceremony.  It was such a heartfelt and intimate exchange of vows that I think all of the guests were crying too.  Anika and Boaz – thank you from the bottom of my heart for trusting me to document this most important day.  And also a huge thank you to Gene Pease of Geneoh Photography for coming all the way from Minneapolis to shoot it with me and to Yadi Rose Events for putting together this beautiful wedding day.
