A Magical Garden Fairytale Wedding at Villa Woodbine in Coral Gables, Florida

Laura Memory Photography & Videography had the honor of capturing Zoie and Nick’s wedding day, and we love what she had to say about the event…

“I knew from the moment we stepped inside the stunning garden villa and saw Zoie beaming, that it was going to be a perfect day. Zoie is a school psychologist who gives and gives every day, so I was just thrilled that she was able to be pampered and loved on and celebrated!

The wedding location was the stunning Mediterranean style Villa Woodbine in Coral Gables, steps from the ocean but tucked away in a lush garden. Zoie was getting ready the the gorgeous upstairs room and looked like a classic Hollywood movie star with her vintage waves and lace dress. I so loved her and her father’s first look up on the balcony, because her brother and mom were peaking around the corner to witness the emotion too!

The sun started to set and the lawn’s bistro lights started to light up for their ceremony! Nick and his guys walked in, and we all waited for the big moment. Nick’s jaw dropped when Zoie turned the corner with her dad, covered in a the most ethereal veil.

After some stunning sunset photos, the amazing team from JV Wedding Planning lit all the candles and transformed the gardens into a fairy tale. I, for real, got chills see the flickering flames with the twinkle lights over head. The rest of the night was a blast too! Toasts, limoncello, amazing food, and lots of dancing.

I love smaller/medium sized weddings because couples can see everyone and just enjoy their wedding without having to play host. I loved seeing them laugh and smile and twirl around all night. That’s how its supposed to be! Everyone was sooo excited for Nick and Zoie, not only because are they clearly so meant for each other, but they impact and inspire everyone they’re around. I think their genuine love and joy is so evident in the pictures, and it was truly a blessing to be back in Miami and document this amazing couple!”
