While there is plenty of Spanish influence, what we typically think of as Spanish-style architecture as seen in California and the Southwest is rare in Miami. Here’s an unexpected bit of Spanish-style home architecture in Miami. Situated in Brickell, one of the hottest neighborhoods, this location has pristine outdoor space. The courtyard features lush, colorful tropical plants and terra cotta pavers, while the triple archway is an excellent spot to casually lean for a not-so-candid grad photo.

5. Stare out at the vast beyond from a historic lighthouse

We’ve seen modern luxury and vintage themes, but how about a location rich with history? Seated at the edge of Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park is a beautiful historic lighthouse originally constructed in 1825, it is the oldest structure in Miami-Dade county. Today it is still an active aid-to-navigation for the US Coast Guard. If you’re a history enthusiast this makes for a wonderful graduation photoshoot idea in Miami. You can climb to the top and have your picture taken with stunning ocean views, or along the rocks with the wind in your hair and palm trees at your back.
