I recently had the absolute pleasure of photographing Rue and Wiley’s wedding at Sunset Cove in Key Biscayne, Miami, and I just had to share this magical experience with you all. Picture this – a soft breeze, golden light reflecting off the Biscayne Bay, and a couple whose love story seemed to light up the evening as much as the setting sun. December in Miami is such an underrated gem, and I’m excited to share some insights and tips if you’re considering tying the knot here during this lovely time of year.

Embrace the Weather

December is a fantastic month for a Miami wedding. The weather strikes that perfect balance – still warm and pleasant but not overwhelmingly hot. The skies are often clear, and the sunset colors are insane. For Rue and Wiley, Sunset Cove offered a dreamlike backdrop with its crystal waters and swaying palm trees. If you’re planning a wedding here, consider starting the ceremony about an hour and a half before sunset. This timing gave Rue and Wiley’s vows and key moments a natural, golden glow that made every photo look straight out of a fairytale! Make sure to chat with your photographer and vendors to get the timing just right; it’s worth it for those perfect golden hour shots!

Food!

Food, glorious food! A Miami December wedding wouldn’t be complete without savoring local flavors and a late night snack including cafecitos! Ya’ll know what I’m talking about. Rue and Wiley’s menu was a fusion of fresh seafood and hearty dishes like tropical-infused roasted meats. Trust me, your guests will appreciate a menu that offers a mix of local specialties and familiar comfort dishes. It keeps everyone happy and well-fed, allowing them to fully immerse themselves in the celebration.

Overall, capturing Rue & Wiley’s wedding day at Sunset Cove was a true highlight and a beautiful reminder of how magical December in Miami can be for a wedding. By considering the unique aspects of the season and location, you can create a wedding that’s both beautiful and memorable. And of course, choose a photographer who can capture every beautiful moment. You won’t regret it, and your wedding album will be a testament to a day filled with love, joy, and breathtaking beauty.
