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.

Sarah + Tio | Wynwood Walls Anniversary Portraits

Colorful Wynwood Walls Anniversary Portraits

On Sunday, May 7th, 2017, Andrew and I had the pleasure of capturing Sarah & Tio's Wynwood Walls Anniversary shoot in Miami, Florida! You may remember Sarah & Tio because we also captured their wedding in January of 2016. It was so fun chatting up as we strolled through Miami's Art District!

Sarah and Tio both love color! If you remember their wedding you probably remember the colors! Their Croquet Wedding was filled with colorful flowers and gorgeous details. It quickly became one of my favorite weddings that year! So when it came to their 1-year anniversary portraits they naturally decided on a magically colorful place--Wynwood.

When Sarah told me they wanted their photos done at Wynwood walls I was instantly thrilled, for multiple reasons. The main reason was because I knew they would feel happy and at-home in such a brightly colored place! I love when my clients choose a location that they truly love or where they have spent time together. They always look and feel so relaxed in a place they love! And I love relaxed and happy clients!

Sarah and Tio also brought along their adorable pug, Sofia! She posed and looked at the camera when I called her name! Andrew also had fun hanging out with her while I capture shots of just Sarah and Tio!

Sarah & Tio, thank you so much for choosing us again! We love working with you both and we can't wait to do this again next year! Here's to many more years of marriage bliss!

Madison's Senior Portraits at Frenchman's Forest

Senior Portraits at Frenchman's Forest in Palm Beach Garden, Florida

On April 25th, I had the pleasure of capturing Madison's senior portraits at Frenchman's Forest in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. Madison had her heart set on having a whimsical session in the woods. But, as we all know, the woods can be hard to come by in Florida. After searching and searching she came across a gem in the middle of Palm Beach Gardens. I had never even heard of the park. But she found the spot she was searching for! And, boy! Was it worth the search!

Our session started in this perfect location with the sun peeking through the surrounding trees. Madison stood out so beautifully against this lush backdrop with her gorgeous hair and her lovely smile. She wore a deep purple dress that blended so well with the location. And she added her cowgirl boots to the mix to give a touch of her style.

I first met Madison many years ago at our church when she was just a little one! I remember her sweet little face in children's choir when I was helping to lead the group. It is hard to believe that she is graduating High School already! As we were walking during her session she told me about her goals and plans. I am so proud of the strong, driven, and smart, young lady she has become!

Frenchman's Forest was such a great location choice!

Kirsten + Joseph | Elegant Worth Avenue Engagement

Elegant Worth Avenue Engagement

On Sunday, March 12th, 2017, Andrew and I had the pleasure of capturing Kirsten and Joseph's elegant Worth Avenue engagement shoot. We began our session in the Westward part of Worth Avenue and ended our session at the Palm Beach Clock Tower.

Kirsten and Joseph, it was truly our pleasure capturing your engagement photos! Andrew and I are so excited to be a part of your wedding day in November!

First, we started one street over from Worth Avenue where there is a gorgeous building with amazing detail!  Kirsten, you are STUNNING!!Then a few shots in front of the Saks Fifth Avenue ivy wall. Afterward, we captured one of my favorite sets from their engagement session!  The following photo isn't generally a style I dabble in often, but this day I was feeling something different. I ended up being pretty happy with the result. Then we captured a few classic photos with the iconic Palm Beach Clock Tower.
