There are many different religions that people practice and believe in which makes the world go round. Each one of them have their own unique traditions that make it special and Cathy & Sam’s Jewish wedding was just that!

We meet up with the bride & groom at The Raleigh Hotel’s penthouse suite for portraits, enjoyed a beautiful outdoor ceremony and reception down in the Oasis near the pool and then danced the night away to some of the best classic hits from back in the day.

Their Ketubah was a beautiful piece of art.

A big thanks goes out to Tatum Treland and The Raleigh Hotel’s staff for a spectacular event.

The Raleigh Hotel is a timeless South Beach Hotel Hideaway. To those fortunate enough to have experienced it, these words evoke a perfect blend of characteristics: Chic, yet warm and inviting; glamorous, yet without attitude; historically iconic, yet tastefully modernized.

To experience The Raleigh Hotel is to experience SoBe at its best – from a legendary and world-renowned art deco hotel that lives up to its copious accolades, its “in-the-know” word of mouth, and its place in Miami Beach history.

The Raleigh Hotel stands out as a masterpiece among the art deco treasures that populate South Beach. It’s been called “One of the Grand Dames” of the art deco style (Conde Nast Traveler) and it is as in-touch with its historic soul of understated glamor as it is with the exacting standards of our international clientele.

South Florida has some of the most amazing boutique hotels in the states, and the National Hotel is definitely one of them located in the South Beach area of Miami. This art deco style palace is a surreal destination that hosts the most exquisite indoor and outdoor weddings from around the world! Boasting spectacular views of the ocean and the famous 205-foot-long “Infinity” Pool, their beautiful gardens are the perfect location for poolside ceremonies and receptions. They also have an elegant Art Deco style Oval Room that is ideal for romantic receptions, and an intimate Martini Room that offers a more private dining room ambiance for smaller functions. All in all, it’s definitely a hotel that should be on your “Cool places I have to visit” list, even if you’re not planning on the tying the knot!

The National Hotel is the epitome of an art deco style building!

The cozy ballroom has lots of vintage goodies with a unique line of dark wood cabinetry along the west wall.

205 foot infinity pool = swimmers wet-dream!

South Beach Miami + 205 foot infinity pool + palm trees + 75 degree weather = National Hotel

At the end of the National’s infinity pool is where they hold most of the outdoor receptions.

This is the view of the National Hotel’s backyard and also where they hold beach ceremonies.

I had the chance to meet the one and only Jamie Lipman (Catering Sales Manager).  Now this girl knows how to host an event like no other!  In a nutshell, Jamie’s a wonderful, sweet, funny, caring, and super friendly person!  After meeting with her for only a few short minutes, it felt like an eternity, and it reflects on how successful her events are as she spends tons of personal attention to all her clients.  She’s also a huge Gators fan.  Go Gators!!! Below is all her info if you need to contact her!

Shooting weddings, I obviously meet many brides, and I love that I’m there to capture the day as it unfolds. Semirra was so easy going, energetic, animated, and excited to be getting married, she made it real easy for me to get into my “shooting zone”. I could tell from the moment I met her, she was a good hearted person, with a loving & caring attitude on life. The groom was very relaxed, and just enjoyed the day with family & friends.

After the day was over and I was on my way home, I was replaying the entire day back in my head, and I smiled remembering all the detailed moments that occurred that day. And below are some of the moments I’m talking about. Big thanks to Alex for thinking of me to help out.

Looks like Nicolas has some new “bling”.

Doral Golf Resort & Spa is beautiful wedding venue in Miami!

Its all about having fun and laughing, which she did so naturally.

The groom’s “bling”!!!

Alex, looking good for the camera, lol.

Semirra’s Uncle walked her down and gave her away. It doesn’t get more real than this.

First kiss of many to come.

The belly dance part of the night was so much fun, the crowd really got into it.

Semirra really enjoyed her “big day”, even to the very last minute of the night, she was AWESOME!
