Amber & Curtis | Riverside Park Engagement in Vero Beach, FL

Riverside Park Engagement in Vero Beach, FL

On January 20th, 2019, Andrew and I had the pleasure of capturing Curtis and Amber's Riverside Park engagement in Vero Beach, Florida. Amber is Andrew's little sister and lives in Virginia. She was in Florida for Marissa and Cal's wedding, so we decided to do their engagement photos the following day in Vero Beach!

They chose a gorgeous park in Vero Beach called Riverside Park. There was tons of gorgeous spanish moss hanging from tall, shady trees. It was a cool, breezy day, and the lighting was perfect!

These two are so sweet and so in love! We can't wait to be a part of their wedding day in May! Congratulations Amber and Curtis! We are so happy for you both!

Amy + Alan | Dreamy Nautical Wedding in Jupiter, FL.

A Dreamy Nautical Wedding at Out of the Blue in Jupiter, Florida

On Saturday, March 25th, 2017, Andrew and I had the pleasure of documenting Amy and Alan's dreamy nautical wedding at Out of the Blue Waterfront in Jupiter, Florida. Amy and Alan were one of the most joyful and fun couples we have ever worked with! Their love for life and each other is genuine and warm. Every moment of their day was filled with contagious laughter, tears of joy and warm smiles.

When Amy contacted us last Summer to capture their Palm Beach engagement photos I loved that they knew exactly the locations they wanted. Bethesda by the Sea and the Palm Beach Lake Trail. They chose these locations because they wanted their engagement photos to be captured in places that are special to them. What I didn't expect was how they would incorporate one of their favorite activities--riding bikes along the Palm Beach Lake Trail. But this wasn't just any bike ride. It ended in the most epic way--with a quick dive in the in the inlet! Their shoot was the most adventurous and fun engagement shoot ever.

Their wedding day was no different. Although they didn't have bikes or end the night by jumping in the inlet, their day was filled with so much more than I was expecting. Every single moment and detail from their day told a little part of their story in the perfect way. The way Amy radiated with complete peace and joy throughout the whole day. The way their guests wholeheartedly shared in their excitement. The way their pup, Bella, handled the responsibility of ring bearer so well. And the way Alan bawled as he saw Amy walking down the isle.

Their wedding day was truly one for the books!

Special Thanks:

Amy and Alan, thank you so much for trusting us to document your amazing wedding day and for making us feel so welcomed! What a pleasure and honor it was to be a part of such a special day! We are so excited for you both and wish you all the best as you step into this new season of life!

Amy's sparkly silver bow shoes by Kate Spade were to cute for words. So many amazing floral designs by the talented Port + Palm Co.!I LOVED that each bouquet was unique. Amy's dress by Stella York was incredible!  Amy, you are SO STUNNING!!  Bella did such a great job during portraits so she got a treat but got really annoyed looking when we put it on her nose and told her to wait... lol.  The many faces of Bella, the ring bearer:Out of the Blue Waterfront in Jupiter, Florida was the perfect venue for this nautical wedding! SO much excitement!  Alan's expressions when he first saw his bride were priceless. Bridal Party portraits! My favorite time of the wedding day! Bride and groom portraits! The Loggerhead Club and Marina was the perfect place for this nautical wedding! I was pretty obsessed with Amy's bouquet (and all the flowers for that matter) by the talented Port + Palm Co.!That dreamy light, all those pastel boats and a so-in-love couple, made my heart so happy!!  Their wedding portraits were so dreamy!  Love these in black and white! The first dance! The father/daughter dance The mother/son dance Cake time!  And they were sent off with streamers!

Emily's Palm Beach Lifestyle Maternity Photos

Emily's Palm Beach Lifestyle Maternity Photos

Since the first day of preschool, Emily and I have been best friends. We were there for each other on those scary first days of school, throughout middle and high school mission trips, on each others wedding days and now as we set into a new seasons of life.

After Emily married the love of her life in July of 2015, she and her husband moved to Texas. Even though we don't live in the same city anymore, we still get to see each other two or three times a year and when we are together it's like nothing has changed. During her time in town for the holidays, we decided to capture a few maternity photos on Palm Beach Island!

Emily's maternity session took place on the dreamy seashore of Palm Beach Island. Her lifestyle maternity shoot was a simply perfect reflection of my best friend in her favorite place--Palm Beach.

This is such an exciting season and I feel so blessed to walk through these sweet moment with her. I cannot wait to welcome little Owen Hitchcock to this world in April 2017! Here are a few of my favorite photos from her session.
