Dreamy Beach Engagement at Coral Cove Park in Jupiter, Florida
On July 24th, 2020, Andrew & I had the pleasure of capturing Alex & Gavin’s dreamy beach engagement photos at Coral Cove Park in Jupiter, Florida. This little park is right next to Jupiter’s Blowing Rocks Perserve which is where Alex wanted her photos done initially. But due to beach closurers, Coral Cove Park was perfect! I had completely forgotten about this little park! We captured a wedding here almost five years ago! It was so nice to be back because this park is gorgeous!
Alex & Gavin are one of the most patient couples ever! I say this because between Covid-19 beach closures, and the most rainy summer ever, we had to reschedule their session four times!! In my ten years of photographing, I have never had to rescedule that many times, never more than twice! The weather this Summer has been the worst and most unpredicable I have ever seen, and I’ve lived in Florida my entire life!
Finally, we had a day with a completely clear forecast, with no rain in sight until 9PM. Well, we started our session a little before 7PM with clear skies and gorgous weather, but by 7:30PM storm clouds were in sight. Luckly, we were able to shoot until a little after 8PM with no rain! And we got the most epic backdrop of stormclouds and even a RAINBOW!! Yes, somehow we got a rainbow before it rained and it just showed up directly behind them as we were taking photos on the beach! It was the perfect touch to add to this dreamy beach engagement session!
Their session was a long awaited one, but man, was it worth the wait!!
Alex & Gavin, it was such a pleasure working with you both! We hope you love the photos, and enjoy them for many years to come! We pray God continues to bless you both as you start the next chapter of your lives!

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!

Alana + Dave | Worth Avenue Engagement
Worth Avenue Engagement Photos in Palm Beach, FL
On Sunday, February 12th, Andrew and I had the pleasure of spending the afternoon with Alana and Dave capturing their Worth Avenue engagement photos. We enjoyed the breezy afternoon strolling the street getting to know them and chatting about their wedding! They will be tying the knot on April 21st, 2017 at the Addison in Boca Raton, Florida. Andrew and I are so excited to document their big day!
First, we started with some classic portraits under the dreamy archways of Worth Avenue.
Then it was time for some ring shots! The watch in the photo below was a sweet gift from Alana to Dave. After capturing a few photos of her engagement ring Alana told me that the second ring she was wearing was given to her by Dave's mother as an engagement gift! How sweet is that!? Then the classic photo under the Palm Beach Clock Tower!
