This past Sunday, on Valentines day, I flew down to Miami for Mari and Pedro’s engagement session. Miami had an amazing temperature! It was neither cold nor its usual hot. This was absolutely the best time to shoot outside without sweating like in a sauna (which is usually the case in Miami).
We started the day in Brickell Key. We found a very nice spot between some condos and the lighting was wonderful. Pedro and Mari were so active in the creative process of this shoot,that I really loved it. From the beginning, Pedro wanted to dip Mari and carry her; he was not shy. These two love birds were up for anything, as you shall later see!
I love her eyes on the image below. She looks so beautiful. Mari and Pedro were so playful, it was a pleasure to photograph them.
We stopped at a local Starbucks in Downtown for the shot below. As I was shooting them from the outside, a man almost attacked me! He thought I was a Paparazzi and wanted to save Mari and Pedro’s privacy! It was so funny and yet scary all at once, but I loved it. LOL! Here’s the shot:
We continued to walk around Downtown Miami using the historic buildings as our backdrop.
The shots below were really fun to create. The trick is to wait for the light to turn red, run to the middle, and shoot away! Mari and Pedro were great!
As a Miami-Dade County Fireman, Pedro could not forget to “bunker-up” for some great shots. We had so much fun in this part of the session! Both Pedro and Mari work for the fire department (that’s where they met).
Mari and Pedro, I had a really great time down in Miami shooting your engagement session. I look forward to your wedding in April!!!
Just want to share with you an image from Mari and Pedro’s engagement session in Miami taken this past Monday. I flew to Miami from Toronto to take their engagement session. I’ll be back with more images!
Today, Jose, Viviana, and I met at Deering Estate Park for their engagement session!
The day was fantastic with bright blue skyes and really, REALLY WARM South Florida temperatures. We all arrived at 10am and were about to begin our session when suddenly we felt them: mosquitoes!! Too many for us to count, and I was wearing shorts! So I decided to make a quick run to the nearby gas station to buy “Off insect repellent”. Thank God for “Off,” because other wise, those mosquitoes would have eaten us alive!!!
Mosquitos were not the only insects we encountered during our engagement session. We also had a friendly encounter with these:
- The “Golden Orb Weaver” is the Spider family located at Deering Estate Park.
It seems that this seasonal spider is prolific in Deering Estate and let me tell you, there were many!! But relax, according to the Park Rangers, these spiders are harmless to human beings, they are just “scary looking”! Well, we didn’t try to test their theory so we let them be and carefully maneuvered ourselves through some of the webs to catch some great images! Jose and Viviana were amazing and very brave! Thanks to their braveness, I took these images of them:
After a great beginning, we headed over to the main house for additional images. I wont kid you, the day was hot and humid, but these two made it feel so much better as I had a great time capturing their love. Enjoy the rest of the images below:
Next stop for us is Puerto Rico! Jose and Viviana’s wedding is next month in the beautiful island of Puerto Rico and let me tell you: it will be explosive!
Jose and Viviana, thank you for the great time today, enjoy these previews and I look forward to your wedding in Puerto Rico next month!
Hello dear readers! This past weekend I had the opportunity to photograph Ricky and Kelly. These two were best friends for a long time before realizing they were completely in love with each other. This love is obviously noticeable as they gaze into each other’s eyes!!! The images were taken at the Florida International University Biscayne Bay Campus, a place very dear to Kelly and full of beautiful green areas. Enjoy the previews!
Ricky and Kelly, thank you for the great time and I wish you all the best in your wedding next year!!!
