Kathleen + Matthew | Romantic Jupiter Lighthouse Engagement
On a foggy Saturday morning in January, I had the pleasure of capturing Kathleen and Matthew’s engagement photos at the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse and Museum in Jupiter, Florida. It was a beautiful day, and starting it off with these two was perfection. We began their engagement session at the large banyan tree that lives right under the Jupiter Lighthouse. Its large branches stretching far and wide gave a timeless backdrop right from the beginning of their dreamy session.
Next we had to have some photos with the lighthouse. I’m a lighthouse lover and so I knew I needed to do something a little different here. Then I saw some small yellow flowers growing on the ground across from the lighthouse. I immediately knew the perfect shot. So I got down (into the dirt) and captured one of my favorite shots from their session: yellow flowers in the foreground, lighthouse in the background and a gorgeous couple at the center.
Then we did a few more shots around the lighthouse, including some with Micky & Minnie ears since they will be having a fairytale wedding on Disney property! So fun! Their session ended in front of the Tindall Pioneer House. This sweet little pioneer home is the oldest home still existing in Jupiter, and it was the perfect spot to end their session!
Kathleen and Matthew, thank you for choosing me to capture your Jupiter Lighthouse engagement photos! It was such a pleasure working with you both! I am looking forward to working together again soon! :)

Samantha + Daniel | Whimsical Engagement at Coral Cove Park in Jupiter, Florida
On Tuesday, November 17th 2020, Andrew & I had the pleasure of capturing Samantha and Daniel’s whimsical engagement session! Their dreamy engagement shoot felt straight out of a Nicholas Sparks novel. Tall swaying trees, strolls in the park, flowing dresses, and sweeping waves filled this session. From beginning to end, their session was perfection.
Samantha and Daniel have been together for eight years and met through their friends! They are so sweet together and we are so excited to document their wedding day in May of 2021!
Samantha and Daniel, thank you for choosing us to capture your sweet love story. We hope you love your engagement photos!

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!
