Vizcaya Museum and Gardens Engagement Photos
Engagement photos at Vizcaya Museum and Gardens beckon the romantic at heart.
Previously occupied as a villa and estate, Vizcaya is now a Museum. The grounds of Vizcaya are renowned for its gardens, stone statues, and busts. All of which are infused with a dash of modern art from the time the villa was inhabited by James Deering. Local Miami residents flock to Vizccaya to learn more about its history, whose construction dates back to 1912.
But what sets Vizcaya Museum and Gardens apart from all the other historical locations in Miami is its ability to become a transformative space for engagement photos. Vizcaya is a well-sought-after destination for couples who are celebrating the next step in their relationship. With its idyllic setting stretched across the bay and its secluded secret garden surroundings, it’s an exquisite location that calls out to the hearts of lovers.
In fact, we have a long history of working with our couples to capture their engagement photos at Vizcaya Museum and Gardens.

Here are some common questions we receive when working with our couples on their Vizcaya Museum and Gardens Engagement Photos.
What is the best color to wear for engagement photos?
In a setting like Vizcaya, the possibilities are endless. We will say, that many of our couples like to select attire that is a bit more formal. While Vizcaya is an outdoor setting, it’s also impeccably well-kept and has an unequivocal air of luxury to it. Whatever colors you select for your attire should be complimentary to one another as opposed to matching. You’ll get to see how Dianna and Vincent achieved this below. If you’re wondering what to avoid, we’d say anything green, attire with a logo, or clothing with a distracting print.
Should you get professional hair & makeup for engagement photos?
Short answer, yes! Professionally done hair and makeup make all the difference for your engagement photos. It will allow the focus to lie squarely on you without the backdrop distracting from your beauty and your moment. Additionally, it will allow you to feel like the best version of yourself. Looking and feeling your best will allow you to show up to your session with total confidence. This helps take the nerves away and allows you to enjoy the time with your spouse as an intimate way to connect ahead of your wedding day.
