Board Games, Coffee, & Sunset Beach Engagement PhotosRita & Ezequiel's in home engagement was a dream! I love when couples want their genuine selves celebrated and documented. They love spending days cozied up at home playing all sorts of games! They broke out the coolest looking Harry Potter board game and with Aria curled up at their sides. It was almost Christmas so the twinkle lights added a bit of magic to their living room as a map of the Lord of Rings world hung in the background. We then made our way to their proposal spot on South Beach and caught sunset and watched the cruise ships leave on Miami Beach. What also made this day special was having my friend Jordan Baum film this beautiful day! Scroll to the bottom to see her masterpiece and hear R+E tell their love story and watch the day unfold! I can't wait to celebrate their wedding day and loved this beautiful, homey, magial engagement!!

Miami Beach | Sunset Wine & Cheese Beach PicnicChris and Paul found me in The Knot's magazine while waiting to walk through a wedding venue. I was, and still am, SO touched and humbled that they loved my photos enough to reach out! They met in NYC and in the massive city, ended up only living around the corner from each other! They moved to South Florida recently and are loving the warm weather life! I so loved walking around this gorgeous park with them and getting to know them and their story. We then headed to the beach for a wine and cheese picnic where they helped me talk through different job opportunities Drew and I were faced with. Instant friends! They're both so caring, and is clear that they're the kind of people who worry, in a good way, and care for their loved ones fully and genuinely. I loved being able to make them feel handsome and beautiful and special! Drew and I can't wait for their Miami wedding in a few months and are stoked to celebrate with these two wonderful souls!

Mattheson Hammock Park Sunset EngagementMichelle and Paul met while working at a restaurant and it was love at first sight! Paul took Michelle out for a fun kayaking first date and right after, Michelle told her family that he was the one! I loved spending the afternoon walking around this gorgeous state park chasing the sun. The hanging Spanish Moss and air plants glowed in the golden hour and the beach's blue waters were on perfect display. There was a wedding and an 80th birthday going on at the park so there was super fun Miami music blasting through this serene backdrop. Of course we had to break into a little salsa, or I had to and they had a good laugh at my moves haha. We had such a fun time talking about jobs, travel, and their upcoming wedding! Can't wait celebrate with these two in February!

Miami Beach Engagement Photographer | South Pointe Park Film Photography | My First Film Frames11/5/2019 Film Wedding Photographer | Pentax 645 on Fuji 400hHere are my first film frames from a session! In high school I produced film old school style in dark room. In college I carried around my grandfather's film camera and took photos of my friends and family. I love the rawness of film. I love that you have to think about everything and pay special attention to composition, focus, meter the light, know your film type, set your settings and really want that shot because you only have 16 frames per roll. I love the pure art behind film! So I was excited to finally be brave enough and be a hybrid photographer and bring my film camera to two different beach engagement sessions! Both are at my favorite park on South Beach in Miami Beach at South Pointe Park. I love the palm trees, the rocks, and the cotton candy sunset. These are 5 rolls of Fuji 400h on my Pentax 645 and I'm excited to start bringing it to more celebrations!

South Pointe Park Pink, Blue, and Neutral Beach PhotoshootI find it the most wonderful honor whenever a fellow photographer reaches out to me! Mariia is a talented film photographer living in Chicago. Her and her husband were visiting Miami and I was so thrilled they wanted to document their vacation with pictures in my favorite park! Mariia is from Ukraine and Max is from Moldova. Their love story is so beautiful and clearly fate brought them together. She was working in a restaurant and he was driving through her small town and stopped in. They hit it off, started dating, then got married a few months later! Just perfection! They tried to teach me a few Russian words, but even with my love of languages I couldn't pick those up haha. I speak some Spanish and Italian, and I studied Arabic in college. I loved picking up just a few words of Portuguese, Maori, and Swedish during our travels too. But, Slavic is something super special and beautiful. The sunshine was out for their photoshoot and the wind was wild! Thankfully, with the help of her photographer's eye and knowing angles, Marria's dress and hair flowing in the wind looked amazing! We had a wonderful time together and I hope our paths cross again at a photography conference or around the world!

South Beach Sun Filled Engagement PhotosDrew and I are so excited to be back in Miami! We had an amazing year of traveling the world and we're also happy to be settled into our apartment, seeing friends, and visiting our favorite spots. I couldn't wait to get back out on the sand and in the water documenting love stories! Nathy and Osvaldo were a heaven sent first session back on South Beach! I photographed Nathy's youngest sister's wedding when we first were in Miami so it was so amazing to keep the tradition going! These two love birds are having a destination wedding in Mexico so I'm thrilled I could take their engagement photos in adopted hometown Miami. We had a great time talking, chasing the sun, and splashing in the ocean. I even broke out my new film camera and messed around! I loved how her bright yellow dress popped against the green palm trees and blue water! I love candid moments the most, so this session was full of giggles and laugher as I caught those in-between moments :) Thank you both for sharing your beautiful inside and out selves with me!

Raleigh Wedding Photographer | Asheville Mountain & Waterfall Engagement | Katelin + Nick9/21/2019 Asheville Adventure Destination Engagement PhotosLet me set the stage. We just flew back from Sweden, unpacked and repacked in a day, went to Asheville to celebrate our best friends' wedding, then on our 7th anniversary (7/7/19) we hiked along the Blue Ridge Parkway in the Appalachian Mountains to my favorite mountain top with the coolest couple ever. It was quite the welcome back to North Carolina after an amazing year of traveling the world together for Drew's job! As much as we love the beach, we always happen to spend our anniversary in the mountains or hiking. So we had to continue the tradition and document two other love birds story! Katelin and Nick are SO much fun! We battled rain and no cellphone service and finally found each other! We first hiked down to a waterfall where they bravely climbed over rocks and even got in the water, my kinda couple! Then, we hiked 30 minutes to the highest point of a trail and found a gorgeous clearing where the sun started to shine! They brought a picnic complete with bubbly, cheese, grapes, crackers, and of course finger-hands. Note to all reading, weird, plastic, tiny, finger-hands make all romantic picnics better. Please see below. Also, my drone Scottie made an appearance to catch some stunning rolling hill views that give the Blue Ridge and Smokey Mountains their name. I am so excited to share this quirky, vibrant, full of joy, energy, and love day!

Lake Wakatipu Anniversary Session In the Golden HillsI love being a destination wedding and elopement photographer and traveling the world to capture all kinds of love! While in Queenstown, New Zealand I had the absolute joy of photographing a fellow photographer, her husband, and their adorable puppy! They met while working as scuba diving instructors in the Caribbean, traveled the world together, and landed in the picturesque adventure capital of the world. They work at the radest spot in Queenstown called Skyline where you take a giant gondola up to the top and you can bungie jump, down hill luge, hike, mountain bike, paraglide, stargazing, it's amazing. While hiking up to this incredible location overlooking Lake Wakatipu's turquoise waters surrounded by the golden hills and Remarkable Mountain range. We talked all about how they met, their favorite travel destinations, life with a crazy puppy, and our impending move to Miami. It's always a blast photographing a fellow photographer because she totally gets how my mind works! I love when hyper puppies join the mix too! I treasured capturing epic views and epic moments between this so in love family. Drew and I still talk about our time in New Zealand literally everyday, and it was a true honor getting to know Kellie and Abe!

Two North Carolinian Couples Collide on Lake WakatipuNC meets NZ. One night while living in Queenstown, New Zealand, Drew and I were paying for parking after a great night eating downtown. Drew got to the parking machine first and I said, "thanks for paying Drew!", the guy behind us then said, "oh, so you're paying for parking for us all, thanks man!" and we all laughed. Normally, when we're in this situation the next question is, 'Where are you from?' or 'What brings you to this side of the world?' Normally, we say, we're from Miami! Because no one knows where North Carolina is, bless their hearts. But this time, we hinted a slight southern accent and we said, "We're from Raleigh, where are y'all from?" and they said, "NO WAY we're from Kinston", which is only about an hour outside the city. What are the chances?! Like good North Carolinians, we proceeded to chit chat for literally another hour and had to repay for parking because our tickets already expired. It turned out, these adventurous souls were on a delayed honeymoon! They had never had professional photos taken, so I of course had to take their photos in the most beautiful location on earth! They came to our lake from bach, Kiwi for itty bitty tiny house by the water, and we talked about how they met, how he was on a TV show for the restaurant they worked in, how she is helping Dreamers in her city stay focused on the right path. What I loved is how clearly in love they are. He was constantly complimenting her and she was giggling left and right. It was the most amazing afternoon followed by a fun night out on the town with our new North Carolina friends :D They jumped out of planes, off cliffs, and got tattoos, but I think this was the most exciting adventure :) Miami Wedding Photographer, Miami Elopement Photographer, Miami Engagement Photographer,Fort Lauderdale Wedding Photographer, Fort Lauderdale Elopement Photographer, Key west wedding photographer, keys wedding photographer, Adventure wedding photographer, destination wedding photographer, LGBTQ Wedding Photographer, Same Sex Wedding Photographer, Boutique Photo Editing, Outsource wedding editing, outsource editing, Raleigh wedding photographer, Durham wedding photographer, Ocean Isle photographer, Asheville wedding photographer, Raleigh engagement photographer, Florida photographer, Florida wedding photographer, adventure wedding photographer, destination wedding photographer, destination elopement, South Florida wedding, North Carolina wedding
Candid Adventure Engagement | "Where the yellow grass grows knee high..."I want to walk with you While living in Christchurch, New Zealand, our very first hike was to the surrounding Port Hills. We drove up some winding roads (this is day 2 of driving on the left side of the road and it was crazy scary) and found the most amazing views. It was the most amazing Kiwi welcome we could have asked. It became my mission to photograph an engagement or a cool couple at sunset and frolic through the fields together! Thankfully I met Tiffany and her fiancé and my dream location came true! We had so much exploring the trails that wove up and down next to the Tasman sea. They even brought some champagne to celebrate! He is in tech working for a start up and splits time between NZ and San Fransisco, and she has a heart of gold and teaches preschool. We instantly clicked and my little artist heart was so full! They're world travelers too, and for their summer holiday, they are exploring Europe. They happen to be visiting a near by town to us in Sweden and we can't wait to meet up!! Love how massive yet small our beautiful world can be.
