Engagement Photography in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea

There’s something magical about palm trees, ocean breeze, and popping champagne with your forever person — and for Hannah and Dylan, that magic is what brought them to South Florida for their engagement session.

These two flew in from out of town because Florida holds a special place in their hearts. It’s where they’ve created some of their favorite memories together, so when it came time to take engagement photos for their save the dates, they knew exactly where they wanted to be — toes in the sand, sun on their skin, and love in the air.

A Romantic Sunrise Session on Lauderdale-by-the-Sea

We met up in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, right by El Prado Park — one of my favorite beach spots for its relaxed, coastal vibe and those iconic swaying palms. But before we ever stepped foot on the sand, we had already started dreaming this up together. We chatted, shared ideas, and created a mood board with their vision and mine, making sure the shoot would reflect them — laid-back, stylish, and so in love.

Capturing Genuine Beach Photos with a Fort Lauderdale Photographer

Hannah and Dylan brought two outfits each, giving us the perfect mix of elevated casual and beachy romance. And yes, they brought champagne — because what’s an engagement session without a little bubbly to celebrate?

As a Fort Lauderdale photographer, my goal was to capture it all: strolling under the palms, laughing in the waves, and that perfectly timed champagne pop that sprayed golden in the Florida sunlight.

Why Sunrise Engagement Sessions Create Unforgettable Memories

It was more than just a photo shoot — it was a memory in the making. I am honored they choose me as their local photographer to document this special milestone for them.
