Pauline + Luis’ Wedding at Alfred I. Dupont Building

by Alex Rodriguez on March 15, 2010

After a long courtship that started while they were both attending FIU Pauline & Luis tied the knot over the weekend. I had the pleasure of photographing their extraordinary wedding in Downtown Miami. We started the day with picturesque skies at the fabulous Viceroy Hotel on Brickell Avenue where Pauline and her family prepared for the big day. The romantic ceremony took place at the fabulous Coral Gables Congregational Church. Pauline took Luis’ breath away in her beautiful dress and amazing Casadei shoes! The ceremony was followed by a beautiful reception at the historical Alfred I. Dupont Building. They assembled an incredible team of vendors who were masterfully orchestrated by Alice Villar who transformed this historic location into a truly magical and romantic setting. Congrats to Pauline and Luis on their wedding!

Pauline & Luis thank you for making me a part of your special day, I wish you a lifetime of happiness.

The Alfred I. DuPont Building is a historic landmark in Downtown Miami built in 1939. With 21 floors it is considered the first skyscraper built after the Dade County Courthouse in 1928 and one of Miami’s only Art Deco buildings with 20+ floors. In 1989 it was listed in National Register of Historic Places. The building currently hosts special events on the mezzanine level that was originally Florida National Bank & Trust. With its original hand- wrought brass teller windows and massive bank safe doors the former bank now caters to a discerning clientele seeking a unique and one of a kind location.
