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.

Chloe's Palm Beach Senior Portraits

Palm Beach Senior Portraits

On Wednesday, January 11th, I had the pleasure of capturing Chloe's Palm Beach senior portraits. Joy and laughter filled this session. We strolled the street of Worth Avenue together capturing lifestyle photos along the way.

When Chloe and her mom, Kelly, first reached out to me I was quite flattered. Kelly told me that they had been following my work on Instagram for over a year and Chloe had dreamt of her Senior portrait session in Palm Beach with me! However, I felt even more flattered when she told me she lives in North Carolina and would be making the trip to Florida primarily for this! Needless to say, I was very excited to meet and work with them both.

Just as I thought, we instantly connected. Right away I felt like I had known them for years! I love how this passion of mine that I get to call my "job" allows me to meet new friends all over the country!

Chloe was such a pleasure to work with and her radiant smile filled every frame with so much joy. The session took place on colorful Palm Beach and Chloe's Lilly Pulitzer outfits fit the scene perfectly. This shoot was one of my favorite portrait shoots to date and you're about to see why!

Chloe and Kelly, thank you so much for choosing me to capture such an important season of life! It was a complete honor working with you both! I look forward to working with you again! I hope you enjoy your portraits!

Lilly Pulitzer's "You Gotta Regatta" is my favorite patterns and when I saw Chloe's dress, I knew the perfect spot!

Alexis + John | Romantic Wedding Anniversary

A Romantic Wedding Anniversary at Riverbend Park in Jupiter, Florida

On Tuesday, October 18th, 2016 I had the pleasure of capturing Alexis and John's one-year wedding anniversary portraits. Exactly one year ago from this day they promised forever. So in honor of their vows they decided to get back into their wedding attire and have a memorable first anniversary styled portrait shoot!

The location of this anniversary session was the breathtaking Riverbend Park in Jupiter, Florida. In this dreamy park, you will find a terrain unlike any other in South Florida. This park is filled with flowing rivers, unique trees, and Spanish moss!! When the sun sets in this park it is nothing short of magical. The most glorious golden light was reflecting onto wheat-like fields creating an amazing scene.

When Alexis first contacted me to capture their anniversary portraits I was beyond thrilled! And when I heard what she had in mind I was over the moon! We immediately began chatting about ideas and as a result, we came up with the most dreamy and romantic wedding anniversary shoot ever!

John and I have known each other since we were in grade school! We grew up going to the same church and were a part of the same youth group. When John started bringing Alexis to church I remember thinking how cute they were together! Fast forward to today, they have been together for four years and I am so happy for them!

Alexis & John, thank you so much for allowing me the pleasure of capturing your anniversary portraits! It was such an honor to capture this special time in your life. Here's to many more beautiful years to come!
