Marlena + Drew | Worth Avenue Engagement Photos in Palm Beach, Florida

Worth Avenue Engagement Photos in Palm Beach, Florida


On December 23rd, 2017, Andrew and I had the pleasure of capturing Marlena and Drew's Worth Avenue engagement photos! These two are the cutest together! We had such a great time strolling along the street of Worth Avenue with them as we chatted about their wedding!

Their session began towards the westward part of Worth Avenue and ended on the beach. They had two outfits, a dressy and a casual one. Since Drew is in the Air Force he wore his sharp uniform for his first outfit and Marlena wore a gorgeous white dress. For their second look they went with a casual outfit perfect for sunset portraits on the beach.

Marlena and Drew, thank you for choosing us to document your engagement photos! It was such a pleasure working with you both! We wish you all the best in this exciting season of wedding planning!

Katie + Ryan | Engagement at the Breakers Palm Beach

Engagement at the Breakers Palm Beach

On Saturday the 23rd of September, Andrew and I had the pleasure of capturing Katie and Ryan's engagement at the Breakers Palm Beach! Their session was filled with elegant scenes on this gorgeous day! These two high school sweethearts will be tying the knot on May 19th, 2018 at the Breakers West! We are so excited to document their gorgeous day!

Katie & Ryan, thank you for choosing us to be your wedding photographers! We are looking forward to your wedding day and hope you enjoy your engagement photos!

We began our session on the lush green golf course at the Breakers! Look at those happy smiles! 

Then we walked over to the courtyard and captured a few portraits in front of the fountain!  The light was SO DREAMY!! 

Then we did a few more in front of the grand fountain in front of the Breakers Palm Beach resort because their engagement at the Breakers Palm Beach wouldn't be complete without a few shots in this amazing spot! 

Then we headed to the beach right before sunset. Ryan gave Katie his great grandmother's gorgeous heirloom ring! It is incredible!! 

The beach was so dreamy that evening. A few rain clouds were coming in creating a soft sky and cool breeze! Katie's, Lilly Pulitzer dress was flowing so perfectly in the wind! I love how you can almost feel the breeze flowing and their sweet love!

Elisa + Brian | Red Reef Beach Engagement

Red Reef Beach Engagement in Boca Raton, Florida

On Saturday, August 12, 2017, Andrew and I had the pleasure of documenting Elisa and Brian's Red Reef Beach Engagement in Boca Raton, Florida. Their session was filled with sweet smiles and gorgeous beach scenes! They chose Red Reef Beach and Park because it has been a special place to them, for a while. They will also be tying the knot here in May 2018!

Elisa and Brian are such a sweet couple! They were referred to us by a mutual friend of ours (Thanks, Sheri)! These two were constantly laughing and beaming! It is always nice having a joyful couple in front of my camera!

Elisa and Brian, thank you so much for allowing Andrew and I the pleasure of capturing your engagement photos! It was so nice meeting and working with you both! We are so excited to document your wedding next year!

Our session began along the upper deck at Red Reef Beach and Park.

A spot where they have watched many sunrises together. 

This is the spot where they may be saying "I DO" in MAY! 

Then while they changed into their second outfit it was time for some ring shots! 

Next, we walked down to the beach for a few casual portraits.






We finished our session relaxing with the ants on a grassy hill...oops! ;) Thanks again Elisa and Brian! We hope you enjoy your engagement photos! See you in May!

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.
