Miami Wedding Photos by Stacey Ambrosio
I’ve been photographing weddings in South Florida for 15 years, working with couples throughout Miami, Miami Beach, Palm Beach, Boca Raton, and Key West who want classic portraits, real emotion, and a photographer who covers every moment of the celebration.
I’m Stacey – a wedding photographer based in Miami Beach with 15 years of experience photographing weddings across South Florida. I’m also a mom, a former sports photographer, and someone who genuinely cannot stay away from the ocean for very long.
I started my career in photojournalism, shooting college athletics and professional sports. That background shaped everything about how I work. I’m fast, I’m observant, and I’m always looking for the real moment – not the posed version of it. More than 15 years ago, that approach led me naturally into wedding photography, where real storytelling is the whole point.
I keep your timeline moving without making it feel rushed. I help manage the chaos of family portraits so you’re not standing in the Florida heat for an hour. I’ll guide you through portraits, cue your fiancé when to look, and make sure the important moments aren’t missed – all without ever making the day feel like a photo shoot.
Miami Wedding Photos Rooted in Connection
My style blends classic portraiture with a documentary approach. What that means in practice is that most of your day, I’m moving quietly alongside you – watching, anticipating, capturing what’s actually happening. For portraits and family photos, I step in and direct with a calm hand so you end up with images that are both beautiful and genuine. You’ll never feel like you’re performing for the camera.
The couples I work with tend to say the same thing afterward: they forgot I was there for most of the day, and then they got their gallery and couldn’t believe how many moments I photographed . That’s exactly what I’m going for.
The connection we build matters to me. When you’re comfortable with your photographer, it shows in every single image. So before we ever get to your wedding day, I want to know your story, understand what matters most to you, and make sure we’re genuinely a good fit.
I photograph weddings throughout Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, Palm Beach, Boca Raton and the Florida Keys. If you’re planning a South Florida wedding and you want photos that feel as real as the day itself, I’d love to hear from you.

WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY FAQS
QUESTION
How many hours of wedding photography coverage do I need for a South Florida wedding?
ANSWER
My wedding collections include 8 to 10 hours of coverage – enough to capture everything from getting-ready photos through the first dance, with room to breathe in between. Whether you’re getting ready at a hotel on Las Olas in Fort Lauderdale or a private estate in Palm Beach, I’ll walk through your timeline with you and recommend what actually fits your day rather than pushing a one-size package. If you’re planning something smaller – 50 guests or fewer, whether it’s an intimate ceremony in Coral Gables or an elopement in the Keys – I also offer intimate collections built specifically for that.
QUESTION
Will Stacey Ambrosio personally photograph my wedding, or will it be an associate?
ANSWER
Me – always. Once you book Ambrosio Photography, I’m the photographer behind the camera, whether your wedding is in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, or Palm Beach. I don’t hand weddings off to associates. Every collection also includes a trained assistant who carries equipment, holds your bouquet, wrangles family for group photos, and keeps the day running smoothly. Whether you also need a second shooter depends on your venue and timeline. A groom getting ready in Coral Gables while the bride gets ready across town in Miami Beach, a large guest list, or two ceremony locations are all situations where a second photographer earns their keep. I’ll tell you honestly if I think you need one.
QUESTION
Do wedding photographers meet with couples before booking, and do you offer video consultations?
ANSWER
Always. I meet with every couple in person! Coffee, lunch, wherever’s easy – before you book, so we can make sure we’re a good fit for each other. Planning from out of state or out of the country? A Zoom call works just as well. About 30 days before your wedding, we connect again (or I coordinate directly with your planner) to lock in the final timeline, whether that’s a Miami hotel ballroom or a Palm Beach estate.
QUESTION
What is a classic and timeless wedding photography style, and is it candid or posed?
ANSWER
It’s both, and we talk through the balance together before your wedding day. For most of the day – getting ready, the ceremony, the reception – I shoot documentary-style: watching, moving, and capturing what’s actually happening rather than staging it. There’s a particular kind of golden hour light along the Intracoastal in Palm Beach I never get tired of chasing. For portraits and formal family photos, I step in and direct so you walk away with polished, classic images, not just candids. You’ll get a suggested shot list from me ahead of time so no one important gets missed.
QUESTION
How many wedding photos do you get from a photographer, and how long does editing take?
ANSWER
Your full, retouched gallery is delivered 4 to 6 weeks after your wedding. On average, expect 75 to 100 fully edited images per hour of coverage. I never cap what I shoot, so you get the complete story of your day, not a pre-set limit. Everything is delivered print-ready at full resolution, and your online gallery stays live for a full year from your wedding datee.
QUESTION
How do I receive and download my wedding photos after the wedding?
ANSWER
Through a private, password-protected online gallery – nothing gets lost in email or a shared drive. You get full printing rights, so you can download, print, share, or email any image, at any resolution, whenever you want. The gallery stays active for one year from your wedding date.
QUESTION
Do you photograph weddings outside Miami Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, Palm Beach, or the Keys?
ANSWER
Yes! South Florida is home base, and I regularly photograph weddings throughout Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, and Palm Beach, along with the Keys and destination weddings beyond. If your venue is outside this core area, just ask — travel is easy to work into your collection, and I love an excuse to explore a new location with you.
CLASSIC, AUTHENTIC, EMOTIONAL & FUN!
