Ana and Arturo's Engagement Session

So, after a wet and rainy Miami morning, a tornado watch and warning later, I was blessed to be able to shoot Ana and Arturo's long awaited engagement session! After waiting a few bit of months to be able to get an appointment, the Miami rain couldn't stop us from having a simply PICTURE PERFECT shoot.

stay tuned in late September to hear all about their gorgeous upcomming nuptials in Nicaragua..

a perfect ending, to a perfect day... :)

Need I say more about this completely DELIGHTFUL couple???

wow, what a great afternoon I had today with them. Thank you both for giving me the honor to document your wedding day with so much love and enthusiasm.. I appreciate you both very much. ;)

See you in Nicaragua for your beautiful destination wedding... It's going to be fantastic!!!

Samantha and Joseph's Engagement session

Talk about rainy days?? Sam and Joey's shoot took place in a hurricane!!! lol

(Samantha and Joey are laughing for SURE in agreement with me!) You had to have been there to see what we're talking about! Wind gusts were kickin' but thank goodness there was no marilyn monroe skirt action here! Great choice in wardrobe, Samantha!!

So, we did have to wait about 25 minutes in the car for rain to stop in between our "taxi cab" scene and the beach scene, but so what! lol

Photographer: sitting in the car, counting raindrops that fall on windshield, calling the couple.

Couple: "oh, a call from Alina.. Hi Alina! What do you think?

Photographer: Ok, there are about 15 drops fewer than 5 minutes ago.. i think we're good to go!

Couple: Samantha: "but what about my hair?"

Joseph: (laughs) "I've got a cap, you'll be ok."

Photographer: (laughs)

Couple: Samantha: "Ok, lets do it!!!"

End product: a fantastic worry free session... :)
