Ciara and I have known each other for a long time, it seems. We met through a mutual friend, Kimra, whom I’ve known through the wonders of the internet for probably a good 12-15ish years. When Ciara moved to South Florida a couple years ago at the beginning of her relationship with Joe, Kimra came to visit, so we all got together for lunch and Ciara and I have kept in touch ever since! I am super stoked that she and Joe chose me to photograph her wedding!
Ciara and Joe’s relationship has grown here in Miami over the past five years. They’ve been living in Miami Beach and it’s a part of who they are together! They’ll be married this April at the Miami Beach Botanical Garden and wanted their engagement session to be on the Beach, too. Joe came up with the idea of shooting at South Pointe Park, since a session on South Beach would represent their relationship over the years. I think that’s awesome and am so happy I had the opportunity to do such a meaningful session with them!
I invited my friend, photographer Daniel Lateulade, to come be my assistant for the afternoon! Thanks again Danny!!
Ciara and Joe, I really had a blast photographing the two of you the other day! Your wedding is going to be beautiful! Hope you like these teasers – I can’t wait to show you more!!
