And guess what...I was right! These are amazing! I love the contrast of her red dress with the south beach nature and the stone walls! Great job again!

Christine & Justin | Miami Vice Engagement Session

Christine & Justin were going for a Miami Vice-ish feeling for their engagement session. They used a friend’s condo on the 51st floor of the Opera  Towers in Downtown Miami and then we took the shoot over to Bill Baggs Park on Key Biscayne for some sunset shots right before the park closed! How lucky...

We especially love the pic where Jeff hurt his nose and Karla is blowing on the boo boo :-) Ok... seriously, they're all incredible photos. You two definitely compliment the landscape. P.S. Not that it was needed but if anything could've been added we would have liked to have seen a picture of Jeff chivalrously extracting the ring from the jaws of an alligator. Just sayin.
