Paige & Michael’s Miami Wedding Film: 4,717 Days of Love
Some couples arrive at their wedding day at the beginning of their story.
Paige and Michael’s Miami wedding film tells something completely different: a love story that already had 13 years behind it.
They met when they were 17, officially started dating on July 27, 2013, and stood together on their wedding day on June 26, 2026. Paige did the math in her vows: 4,717 days of loving each other.
And somehow, that number says a lot about this wedding.
Because this was never only about one day. It was about everything that brought them there.
Why Their Miami Wedding Film Had So Much History Behind It
Miami made perfect sense for Paige and Michael, but not simply because it is a beautiful place to get married.
The city was already part of them.
Their first trip to Miami together was for a music festival. That experience became the beginning of a shared love for live music, concerts and finding each other somewhere in the middle of a crowd.
Then came more memories:
Spring Break
concerts and festivals
trips back to Miami together
a quiet 48 hour getaway with no real agenda
different stages of their relationship unfolding in the same city
Every time they returned, they were a slightly different version of themselves.
So when it came time to choose where they would get married, it almost felt like Miami had been waiting for them too.
That history is part of what made their cinematic Miami wedding film feel so personal. We were not simply documenting a destination. We were documenting another chapter in a place that already meant something.
Their Vows Were Really About the Ordinary Days
There was plenty of emotion during the ceremony, but what stayed with me most were the incredibly normal things they talked about.
And I mean that in the best possible way.
Michael spoke about supporting Paige through whatever new obsession appears next, watching her favorite movie when she needs a laugh, and how she somehow makes him feel capable of becoming a billionaire while simultaneously reminding him that even if he never made another dollar, he was already wealthy because he had her.
He talked about the family they hope to build and promised to be a pillar of stability for their future children.
Paige answered with her own definition of love.
Love is making rice and beans for her grandfather's repasts.
Love is warming up her car every morning before work even when Michael is staying home.
Love is getting a snack after you both got comfortable five minutes ago. 😂
Love is learning to cook meals for someone else that you would never eat yourself.
Those details mattered.
Because beautiful weddings are easy to romanticize. Real relationships are built somewhere between the ceremony and all those completely ordinary Tuesdays nobody photographs.
A little note: One of my favorite ideas from their ceremony was that their wedding was not the beginning of their love story. It was the declaration of one that had already been lived, tested and chosen over and over again.
Family, Tradition and Starting Forward Together
Their ceremony also carried something deeper than the vows.
Parents came forward to lay hands on Paige and Michael while their union was blessed. Later, they honored the tradition of jumping the broom.
Their broom had been wrapped with bay leaves carrying messages from women who had raised them, shaped them and loved them along the way.
I loved the meaning behind it.
They were not erasing everything that came before the wedding and beginning again.
They were taking all of it with them and starting forward together.
That feeling carried into the rest of the celebration: their first dance, dances with their parents, friends and relatives sharing memories, laughter everywhere and generations of people who had watched this relationship grow finally celebrating what it had become.
For me, Miami wedding photography and videography is at its best when the location is not simply beautiful, but actually means something to the couple. This wedding had that connection everywhere.
And after photographing and filming weddings for years, days like this are still the ones that stay with me.
Not because every second was perfect.
Because it was theirs.
Thirteen years. High school hallways. College. Careers. Miami trips. Concerts. Ordinary mornings. Hard seasons. 4,717 days.
And then one more choice.
Today, tomorrow and every day after.
