Faena does not do subtle, and that is exactly why it works. Red velvet, gold leaf, hand-painted murals, and a Damien Hirst mammoth under glass. The Faena Hotel Miami Beach is less a backdrop than a character, built for a celebration with a sense of theater.

Avery and Jack leaned all the way in. Their day moved from the ocean light of the terrace to the deep color and drama of the interiors, glamorous without ever tipping into costume. It is the kind of wedding Faena was made for.

I shoot in the spirit of the room, editorial and unhurried, letting the color and the light do the work. A few favorites from Avery and Jack at Faena.
