Megan and Jeff knew from the beginning that Delray beach would be the spot for engagement photos. Not only is it beautiful, it holds so much meaning for them as the place that they met. It was a time in life when so much was happening, and the perfect time for their story to begin. They built their relationship from the ground up and have the kind of solid foundation that will take them through their lives.
delray beach engagement photos
I escaped the cold New York winter and traveled to Delray Beach in Florida in January to meet them there. We had many conversations discussing location, what to wear and what our session would include and came up with a plan that created these engagement photos. We started in town outside the Cornell Art Museum and ended at the beach durning sunset.

This path is so beautiful I think I might print it for my wall and remember what it feels like to walk towards the ocean. Do you want one too?

the dress
With a custom Fame and Partners dress, Megan looked stunning and effortless. I have had several brides find dresses for the rehearsal dinner, second wedding look or engagement session from Fame and Partners.

shooting film
I capture images that are natural and full of life. I find they tell a strong story as a set. Creating image that make you feel and feel the love and emotion is one of the reasons I love to shoot film. All of these images were shot on film with my Contax 645 using Fuji 400h. Travel is accounted for when you receive your custom proposal, since many of my clients love bringing me to them.
