Jean and Jenny’s wedding at Loveland Venue Miami paired a soft sage-and-ivory palette with the deep greens of the venue’s tropical gardens. Their day moved from relaxed preparations on the property to an outdoor gazebo ceremony, portraits around the lawn and red bridge, and a white-draped reception that became a very lively party.
What I loved most was the balance. The ceremony had quiet, emotional moments, including personal vows and the two of them tying cords around a wooden cross together. Later, the reception brought a completely different energy: blue-and-red Haitian flags, a low-fog first dance, a dress change, speeches, cake and a dance floor that rarely looked empty.
I photographed and filmed the full celebration for Jean and Jenny, preserving the movement, voices and atmosphere alongside the still photographs.

The photographs hold onto the expressions, colors and tropical setting. Their film brings back the words and movement: the vows, the ceremony reactions, the entrances, speeches, music and the sound of a room full of people celebrating with them.
About Loveland Venue Miami
Loveland Venue is a tropical wedding property in Miami’s Redland area, with separate spaces for preparations, an outdoor ceremony, portraits and an indoor reception. Jean and Jenny were able to keep the full celebration on one property while giving each part of the day a noticeably different look.
This post follows one real wedding from beginning to end. For broader planning information, current venue details and practical questions to ask before booking, read my Loveland Venue Miami wedding guide.
A Relaxed Start in the Gardens
Jenny began the day with her bridesmaids in matching sage satin robes. We photographed them together on the lawn in front of a wall of flowering greenery, then moved indoors as everyone finished hair, makeup and the final details.
Jenny wore a fitted lace gown with delicate straps, a low back and a long veil. Her bouquet combined white flowers with eucalyptus and other soft greenery, keeping the design clean and connected to the garden setting. Her bridesmaids wore pale sage dresses with subtle floral details, while Jean chose a light sage double-breasted suit. The groomsmen wore ivory suits with touches of green, creating a coordinated wedding party without making every outfit identical.
These early photographs were a mixture of portraits and the smaller moments happening around them: a final makeup check, a friend straightening the dress, laughter between bridesmaids and Jean settling into the day with the people beside him.
An Outdoor Gazebo Ceremony
The ceremony took place in front of Loveland Venue’s white wooden gazebo. White benches faced a straight aisle across the lawn, and arrangements of white flowers and greenery softened the gazebo without competing with the palms surrounding it.
Jean waited with the wedding party as Jenny made her way toward the ceremony with a loved one. The setting was formal enough to give the vows a clear focal point, but the open garden kept everyone close to the natural atmosphere of the property.
Jean and Jenny exchanged personal vows and rings beneath the gazebo. They also tied two cords around a cross displayed in a wooden frame, completing the action together while their guests watched. I photographed the wider setting as well as their hands, expressions and the reactions around them so this part of the story would not be reduced to a single posed frame.
After their first kiss, they walked back down the aisle to cheers before taking a quiet moment together among the gardens.
Wedding Party and Family Portraits
With everyone already gathered in one place, we organized the larger wedding-party and family combinations shortly after the ceremony. The tropical lawn and warm rock wall gave the group photographs color and texture, while the neutral suits and pale sage dresses kept the palette consistent.
There was plenty of personality in these portraits. The wedding party moved easily between polished group photographs and much more playful frames, including a few moments where the groomsmen decided simple standing was clearly not ambitious enough.
We also made time for individual photographs with the people closest to Jean and Jenny. Those combinations matter because the wedding is not only about how the venue looked; it is also one of the rare days when so many important people are together in the same place.
Tropical Portraits and the Red Bridge
For Jean and Jenny’s portraits, we stayed on the property and worked through several nearby settings. The lawn gave us clean, open compositions, while the dense palms and flowering hedges created a more enclosed tropical look.
Jenny’s veil became part of the photographs rather than something that simply followed behind her. We brought it over the two of them for close portraits, then used its length and movement in wider frames. The softer sage tones of Jean’s suit worked especially well against the greenery and kept the portraits lighter than a traditional black-tie combination.
The red footbridge provided the strongest contrast of the day. In daylight it brought a bold line of color into the gallery; after dark, string lights and the surrounding palms turned it into a quieter location for the final portraits. Because all of these settings were within the venue, Jean and Jenny could have variety without losing a long stretch of their reception to travel.
A Sage, White and Gold Reception
The reception continued inside Loveland Venue’s white-draped event space. Round tables were dressed in white with clear chairs, pale green napkins, gold details and low arrangements of white flowers and greenery. A white tiered cake with green leaves repeated the same clean palette, while warm vertical lights framed the sweetheart table.
Jean and Jenny entered with their wedding party as blue-and-red Haitian flags moved through the room. The same flags returned throughout the evening, especially once the dancing began, adding color and movement to the otherwise neutral reception space.
The couple listened to speeches from the sweetheart table, shared a toast and spent time greeting the people who had come to celebrate with them. These quieter reactions helped connect the formal reception events to the much faster part of the evening that followed.
A First Dance in the Clouds
Jean and Jenny opened the dance floor with low fog around them. The clean white room and pale sage suit kept the scene soft, while the movement of the fog gave their turns and dip extra shape without taking attention away from the two of them.
They later shared dances with loved ones before the room opened up for everyone. The transition happened quickly: one moment the dance floor was quiet and focused on a single pair, and the next it was full of flags, sunglasses, raised hands and guests pulling each other into the middle.
Jenny’s Dress Change and a Packed Dance Floor
Later in the evening, Jenny changed into a short strapless white dress and heels. The lighter outfit suited what was coming. She joined the center of the dance floor, threw her bouquet and moved through a reception that stayed energetic right through the final photographs.
Jean also relaxed the formal look as the evening went on, and the two of them returned to the red bridge for a few nighttime portraits beneath the string lights. Those images gave the gallery a calmer ending without pretending the party inside had slowed down.
The night finished with guests dancing shoulder to shoulder, waving flags and celebrating around the couple. It was joyful, fast-moving and wonderfully difficult to contain in one frame—which is exactly why having both photographs and film matters for a wedding like this.

Jean and Jenny’s celebration shows how one property can support several distinct parts of the day: preparations surrounded by greenery, a garden ceremony at the gazebo, portraits across the tropical grounds and a climate-controlled reception nearby.
