Man proposes on one knee to woman in lush green forest setting near a river, romantic outdoor marriage proposal.

I booked a session with him for my wedding proposal and I am genuinely extremely happy and extremely satisfied. He not only got perfect shots, but also familiarized himself with the spot and got the most perfect angles for the shoot.

FAQ

What kinds of photoshoots do you do?

Couples photoshoots, family photoshoots, maternity photoshoots, surprise proposals, holiday photoshoots, graduation photoshoots, engagement photos, and more. I also book important events such as bridal showers, baby showers, birthday parties, weddings, and baptisms.

Where do sessions take place?

Most sessions take place in a variety of outdoor locations, such as South Pointe Park in Miami Beach, Bill Baggs State Park in Key Biscayne, Matheson Hammocks Park in South Miami, & many more. When booking, I consult with all couples and families about the best location based on their vision and preferences.

Can I ask questions before booking?

Absolutely! Actually, I speak with all of my clients before booking. Simply fill out my contact form and include a few details about your shoot, and I'll get back to you within 24 hours.

Wait, did you say your style is cinematic *and* colorful?

Sounds a little contradictory, right? My particular style has been described as both by many of my clients. I combine the moodiness of the cinematic approach with a particular vividness that just makes photos pop. This gives my clients an exciting selection of candid and posed photos that makes for an eclectic photo gallery.

How long do I have to wait for my photos?

7 days. That's it! I pride myself on delivering photos quickly, without sacrificing quality, while the memories of your session or event are still fresh.
