About Me

Armando Pico’s passion for photography began at the age of 10 when he built his first camera out of a cardboard box and a roll of 110 film. After graduating from the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale, his career as a photojournalist took off earning him 19 Emmy Awards in just 17 years.
With a cinematographic resume that includes the royal wedding of the prince of Spain, he has filmed major international news events for network television. In his extensive travels, Armando honed his photography skills capturing the people, landscapes and architecture that make each spot on the planet unique. Combining his keen interest for visual arts and music along with his news experience, Armando applies his photojournalistic style to all special event cinematography and photojournalism creating a unique product that captures your special moment for eternity. The images speak for themselves.

“There is no greater feeling than knowing you’ve captured a special moment for someone that will last forever.”

DOUBLETREE SUNNY ISLES WEDDING / MONIKA & BEN

Monika & Ben’s Beach Wedding Photography

This Doubletree Sunny Isles wedding photos have been some of our favorite ever. Monika, originally from Czech Republic and Benjamin from Germany, met in the airport in Chicago on September 2011. They were both waiting to board a plane to Germany. Once inside, Monika realized that Ben managed to get a seat right behind her in the plane. Ben now only had about 8 hours to work his magic and turn a spontaneous meet n’greet into a long-term relationship. They decided to host a destination wedding in Sunny Isles, Florida with close family and friends. Many of them flew from Europe to attend the beautiful outdoor wedding ceremony. They were a wonderful couple to work with. Thank you for choosing A Pico Studio. We hope you enjoy the beautiful images we captured on the beach. We would also like to send a big shoutout to all the great vendors that helped put this day together, starting with Eric Trelles from ET Events, who made everything run smoothly. We also had the privilege to film their wedding, so check out their wedding movie trailer as well.
