Daniela + Renzo | Boca Raton Engagement at Mizner Park & FAU

Dreamy Boca Raton Engagement

On June 12th, 2017, Andrew and I had the pleasure of documenting Daniela and Renzo's dreamy Boca Raton engagement shoot at Mizner Park and Florida Atlantic University. Boca Raton played a special part in their love story -- how precious it was to capture their love, where it all began.

About their engagement session:

Where do I begin with these two!? Simply stated: their session was an absolute dream --- and yes, that is an understatement. They mastered my "Four Core" poses within seconds. They made lifts and dips look effortless! I must say I was impressed when Renzo cleared out his pockets before I had a chance to remind him. What a detailed groom-to-be who took the initiative and time to read through my Wedding Guide ebook!

Daniela and Renzo's engagement session began in the iconic center of Mizner Park. Their session took place on a breezy cloudy evening, which is my favorite! Lighting is so important, and we definitely had our pick of the most glorious, even light. The grand fountain in the center of Mizner Park created the perfect statement of a backdrop to document their love.

Where it all began...

Campus romance was in the air when Renzo and Daniela attended Flordia Atlantic University. So, of course it was very fitting to return to the very place where they met and fell in love! What added even more fun and love to their session? Their energetic, joy-filled pup Chuck, a chocolate lab. (What's up, Chuck!) He was beyond adorable and posed so well for me!

Daniela and Renzo, it truly was a pleasure capturing your story. Thank you so much for choosing us to document your engagement photos! This engagement shoot -- the fun, the love, and the effortless romance in spades -- makes us all the more excited for what your wedding day will bring.

Alana + Dave | Dreamy Spring Wedding at the Addison in Boca Raton, FL

A Dreamy Spring Addison Wedding

On Friday, April 21st, 2017, Andrew and I had the honor of capturing Alana & Dave's dreamy wedding at the Addison in Boca Raton, Florida. Their wedding day featured many unique details that made their wedding day truly their own.

We first met Alana and Dave at Kristine & Tristan's wedding a little over a year ago. I captured a photo of Alana & Dave during their wedding and then they contacted us to capture their wedding! I love when I can look back and see the chain of client referrals that brought us our current client. A chain of four different referrals brought us Alana and Dave!

About their Addison Wedding

Alana's wedding dress was a showstopper. The stunning cut and intricate beading made her dress one to remember. Dave wore a gray suit with a white tie to match his bride. Pops of a deep purple and light green brought some color to this elegant wedding. For the favors, Dave's mother hand-made green ceramic votive candle holders. They were each unique and stamped at the bottom with Dave and Alana's names and wedding date!

One of my favorite details about their day was the band Dave brought together for their reception! Dave has been a professional musician for many years, so when it came time to select the entertainment for their wedding reception he knew exactly what he wanted to do. He began calling some of his life-long friends and hand selected the entire band. He brought together an incredible team with over 8 members! They had never played together before but you would never have guessed that! They kept the party alive all night long!

On top of having a terrific band he also arranged to have some special performances by different guests! Just when the music and the day couldn't get any sweeter, Dave got on stage and performed a song with the band dedicated to Alana! It was the sweetest thing ever! To hear the full song click here.
