Wedding at Hotel Colonnade Coral Gables - Adrienne + Daniel
The Hotel Colonnade in Coral Gables is a gorgeous venue to host a wedding reception. Evidence of this is the wedding of Adrienne and Daniel which we are excited to feature today on our photography blog. Expertly executed by the talents at Events by Gigi, this event was simply stunning. We at Photography by Santy Martinez had the distinct pleasure of capturing Adrienne and Daniel’s day from start to finish. From the getting ready to the end of the night, this wedding was magical.
We started off the day with Adrienne at the Hotel Colonnade. The enthusiasm in the suite was palpable! As she and her girls got ready, Santy and I had fun shooting all the little details – the rings, the shoes, the dress! We were sure not to miss a thing. Adrienne was looking beautiful as she and her girls were getting glammed up by the Makeup by Marz team before slipping into her wedding gown. What a gorgeous bride!
Daniel was looking sharp himself as he waited for his bride at St. John Neuman Catholic Church. His eyes lit up when he saw his bride for the first time! Friends and family witnessed the couple exchange their vows in a traditional ceremony. It was such a joyous moment surrounded by loved ones!
After the ceremony, everyone headed over to the Hotel Colonnade where they enjoyed cocktails before the party. As wedding photographers, we like to sneak the couple to the reception area before guests enter the space. These are always some of our favorite photos! Adrienne and Daniel had a moment to themselves to soak it all in. The rotunda never looked so fabulous! The high floral centerpieces by W&W Flowers and Events were on point. The stage was set for a night to remember. The rest of the night was perfectly executed as they ate, danced, and fell in love all over again. We hope you join us in congratulating this wonderful couple – we wish them a lifetime of happiness!

This Spring break, we embarked on a magical voyage aboard the Disney Cruise Ship, the Dream. From thrilling adventures in Nassau to savoring exquisite cuisine onboard, every moment was filled with enchantment. Castaway Cay offered pure paradise, and Pirate Night added a touch of swashbuckling fun. As we bid adieu to the Dream, we eagerly anticipate our next journey with Disney, creating more unforgettable memories along the way.
