The Biltmore Hotel
A wedding photography & film guide
The Biltmore in Coral Gables is old Florida grandeur at its finest, a 1926 landmark with its soaring tower, vaulted lobby, and storied colonnades. It photographs like a film set.
We love the Biltmore for couples who want timeless, architectural images. From the grand staircase to the courtyard arcades, every corner offers a frame with history built in.
