Palm Beach Family Vacation Portraits

On Sunday, January 12th, Andrew and I had the pleasure of capturing the Dorn family while they were vacationing in South Florida. They are such a sweet family, and we had such a wonderful time with them! Their session began at the elegant Worth Avenue Clock Tower. Then we strolled down Worth Avenue for a few photos before heading to the beach for sunset photos!

Dorn family, thank you so much for choosing us to capture your family's memories! We hope to work with you again in the future! We hope you enjoy your photos for many years to come![line][line]

On January 2nd, 2020, I had the pleasure of working with the Thompson family for the second time! It was such an honor to be welcomed back to document their vacation memories for the second year!

Alex + Joanna | Rainy Worth Avenue Engagement

Rainy Worth Avenue Engagement

On Sunday, November 3rd, 2019, Andrew and I had the pleasure of capturing Alex and Joanna's rainy Worth Avenue engagement session. Even though the forecast called for mostly cloud and only 20% chance of rain, it rainy during their entire session! At times it was calm, but toward the end, it was very heavy and with so much wind! They were troopers!

Alex and Joanna chose Worth Avenue on Palm Beach Island for the elegant scene and colorful flowers. Although the day was dull and gray, we were determined to give them their dream engagement photos!  It may have taken a bit more strategy and editing, but I think we delivered. In fact, I feel like the rain added an extra magical feel!

Alex and Joanna will be saying, "I do," in February of 2020! We are so excited to be a part of their day! Especially since Alex is one of our life-long friends! He is actually the one person most responsible for Andrew and I being together! That's right. In high-school, Alex played matchmaker for us. We had all been friends since middle school, and in 2009, Andrew and I were both no longer dating anyone else, so Alex did what any good friend would do and pushed 'shy' Andrew to talk to me. Alex would setup a three-way calls so we would be forced to talk! Well, all his matchmaking paid off, and we are so grateful for it! Alex, thank you for being such a great friend! We are so grateful for you!

Alex & Joanna, thank you for letting us document your love story! We are so happy for you both and are beyond excited for your wedding day! This next new season of life is so sweet! Enjoy every single minute!

Nicole + Charles | Palm Beach Marina Engagement

Palm Beach Marina Engagement in Downtown West Palm Beach, Florida

On Friday, September 27th, 2019, Andrew and I had the pleasure of capturing Charles and Nicole's Palm Beach Marina engagement on the gorgeous Downtown WPB waterfront! Their session was a dream! The perfect cotton candy clouds, a peaceful breeze and a stunning couple made this session dreamy! Grand white yachts and a glistening coastal waterway filled the backdrop for this dreamy engagement session.

We began our session at the Palm Beach Marina where the yachts seemed to light up the scene. Afterward, we walked south along the West Palm Beach Waterfront, capturing sweet and romantic photos along the way. Lastly, but not least, we finished their session in the most meaningful spot to them! The dock where they share their first moments together; where Charles proposed exactly one year from the day they began dating; and most importantly, where they will be saying, "I do," in just TWO WEEKS!

Andrew and I have personally known Nicole and her family for over 12 years! So we are extra excited to have the privilege of not only documenting but witnessing their big day! After meeting Charles for the first time, I was so happy to see the joy he brought to Nicole's face. It is so evident in the photos below. He brings a genuine, joyful presence and makes you feel like you have known him for years. Charles is truly the perfect match for Nicole! Together, they are such a power couple, and we are exciting to see where the future takes them both!

Nicole & Charles:

Thank you so much for choosing Crystal Bolin Photography to document your love story! You both were truly a pleasure to work with, and we know wonderful things are in-store for your big day! We cannot wait to be a part of your wedding day!

The very spot where they will be tying the knot!
