Lifestyle Family Vacation Photos at Ocean Reef Park in Singer Island, Florida

On August 6th, I had the pleasure of capturing some lifestyle family vacation photos at Ocean Reef Park in Singer Island, Florida for the Craft family! I had such a wonderful time capturing their vacation memories! There were epic storm clouds in every direction that day, but the radar showed no rain in our area! I’m so thankful it was right this time! The moody sky added depth to their portraits. It’s a look you can’t always get! I hope you enjoy these sweet family beach photos!

Dreamy Beach Engagement at Coral Cove Park in Jupiter, Florida

On July 24th, 2020, Andrew & I had the pleasure of capturing Alex & Gavin’s dreamy beach engagement photos at Coral Cove Park in Jupiter, Florida. This little park is right next to Jupiter’s Blowing Rocks Perserve which is where Alex wanted her photos done initially. But due to beach closurers, Coral Cove Park was perfect! I had completely forgotten about this little park! We captured a wedding here almost five years ago! It was so nice to be back because this park is gorgeous!

Alex & Gavin are one of the most patient couples ever! I say this because between Covid-19 beach closures, and the most rainy summer ever, we had to reschedule their session four times!! In my ten years of photographing, I have never had to rescedule that many times, never more than twice! The weather this Summer has been the worst and most unpredicable I have ever seen, and I’ve lived in Florida my entire life!

Finally, we had a day with a completely clear forecast, with no rain in sight until 9PM. Well, we started our session a little before 7PM with clear skies and gorgous weather, but by 7:30PM storm clouds were in sight. Luckly, we were able to shoot until a little after 8PM with no rain! And we got the most epic backdrop of stormclouds and even a RAINBOW!! Yes, somehow we got a rainbow before it rained and it just showed up directly behind them as we were taking photos on the beach! It was the perfect touch to add to this dreamy beach engagement session!

Their session was a long awaited one, but man, was it worth the wait!!

Alex & Gavin, it was such a pleasure working with you both! We hope you love the photos, and enjoy them for many years to come! We pray God continues to bless you both as you start the next chapter of your lives!

Alex + Joanna | Coptic Orthodox Wedding in South Florida

A Coptic Orthodox Wedding at St. Mary's Copic Church in Delray Beach, Florida & Reception at the Woodfield Country Club in Boca Raton, Florida

On February 16th, 2020, we had the honor of documenting Alex and Joanna's Coptic Orthodox wedding at St. Mary's Copic Church in Delray Beach, Florida. Their ceremony was grand and stunning! Their wedding reception was just as exceptional! It was held at the notable Woodfield Country Club in Boca Raton, Florida. With stunning grounds and a gorgeous ballroom, it was the perfect location for their spectacular wedding!

This was a special wedding for us because Alex is a life-long friend of ours. Andrew and I grew up with Alex. We all met in church and stayed very close over the years. Andrew was actually a groomsman, so he split his shooting time with my brother! Steven was my second shooter for most of the day, and he did an amazing job! I knew he would do a good job, but after I saw the photos he captured, I was amazed. He captured certain things EXACTLY as I would have and made me so proud!

Alex and Joanna, thank you for having us be a part of your stunning wedding day! We are so blessed to call you our friends! We are so happy for you both and wish you many wonderful years together! May God bless your marriage always!
