Brittany + Justin | Elegant Palm Beach Engagement

On November 10th, 2019, Andrew and I had the pleasure of capturing Brittany and Justin's elegant Palm Beach engagement session! This session quickly became one for the books! Justin and Brittany invited us explore Palm Beach in their family's Rolls Royce! We stopped at a handful of the most iconic Palm Beach locations, capturing the most romantic engagement photos! Talk about a dream session!

We visited the Flagler Museum, The Breakers Palm Beach, Bethesda by the Sea and Worth Avenue. Not only did we have a gorgeous car and the dreamiest locations but also the most stunning couple! They wore such elegant outfits that worked so well with each location. Justin wore a classic black tuxedo and Brittany wore a sparkly, silver sequin cocktail dress. Together they were show stoppers!

Their entire session was filled with adventure and fun! We felt like we were just hanging out with our friends the entire time! Also, being the car girl that I am, I loved having an extra prop in their photos. That Rolls probably made it into too many shots, but boy, was it pretty! Some of my favorite shots were the ring shots taken on the car! They turned out amazingly, and I'm still obsessed.

Brittany & Justin:

Thank you so much for allowing us the honor of documenting such a special time in your lives! It was such a pleasure getting to know you both and working with you! We truly had the BEST time with you guys, and we would be elated to work together again! Enjoy this sweet season and have the best time eloping!! We are so happy for you both!

Katie + Ryan | Engagement at the Breakers Palm Beach

Engagement at the Breakers Palm Beach

On Saturday the 23rd of September, Andrew and I had the pleasure of capturing Katie and Ryan's engagement at the Breakers Palm Beach! Their session was filled with elegant scenes on this gorgeous day! These two high school sweethearts will be tying the knot on May 19th, 2018 at the Breakers West! We are so excited to document their gorgeous day!

Katie & Ryan, thank you for choosing us to be your wedding photographers! We are looking forward to your wedding day and hope you enjoy your engagement photos!

We began our session on the lush green golf course at the Breakers! Look at those happy smiles! 

Then we walked over to the courtyard and captured a few portraits in front of the fountain!  The light was SO DREAMY!! 

Then we did a few more in front of the grand fountain in front of the Breakers Palm Beach resort because their engagement at the Breakers Palm Beach wouldn't be complete without a few shots in this amazing spot! 

Then we headed to the beach right before sunset. Ryan gave Katie his great grandmother's gorgeous heirloom ring! It is incredible!! 

The beach was so dreamy that evening. A few rain clouds were coming in creating a soft sky and cool breeze! Katie's, Lilly Pulitzer dress was flowing so perfectly in the wind! I love how you can almost feel the breeze flowing and their sweet love!

Victoria & Ben | Summer Palm Beach Vacation Portraits

Mother and Son Summer Palm Beach Vacation Portraits

On Wednesday, June 14th, Andrew and I have to pleasure of documenting Victoria and Ben's Summer Palm Beach vacation portraits. This was our second time documenting their vacation time while visiting Palm Beach. Victoria loves Palm Beach and when her son graduated from Kindergarten, she decided to come to the Palm Beach and relax at the Breaker's Palm Beach for a week!

 It was a pretty clear day but rain clouds began to roll in towards the end of their session. This weather made for some dreamy light and some incredible cloud view in the background. Victoria's first session with us was back in the fall of last year. She loved her session so much she wanted to have them done with us again!

Victoria & Ben, thank you for letting us document your Summer Palm Beach vacation portraits! We hope to capture your vacation memories next time you are in Palm Beach again!

First, we started with some basic and cute photos of them together.

Ben was so excited to be on the beach and had so much energy! So after a sweet kiss to his mom, we gave him a little break. Last time we met he was really into Batman but this time it was all about being an explorer! So I gave him a mission. I told him to find me a rare purple shell that can only be found on the dry sand! ;) This kept him entertained for few. Andrew watched him while I got some photos of his gorgeous mom! Isn't she stunning!?

Because running on Palm Beach is fun!

Then we were able to get a few portraits of Ben by himself. I might have asked him to stand how he thinks an explorer would stand! ;) It gave me the shot below!
