When Nicola & Bryan hired me to be their wedding photographer, I was elated!! And with each coffee date Nicola & I had — I was getting more and more excited not only for their wedding but for their engagement session! Engagement sessions are such a fun way of getting to know my brides & grooms — as a couple…and it’s a great way for them to get to know me — as a  photographer… I get to capture how they interact with each other, and to capture their love for each other… and they get to practice being in front of my camera, however awkward they feel in the beginning… at the end of the session, they realize it wasn’t so bad — and that they actually had fun! =)

Nicola & Bryan were so much fun to capture… when thinking about the location for their engagement session, I thought it would be perfect to do a downtown West Palm Beach session — around Clematis… We started the night with some coffee at Starbucks… roamed around the streets & alleys of Clematis… and ended the session at The Wine Dive… because there were so many favorites from their session, I had to break it up into 2 parts… so make sure to come back to see part 2, because you don’t want to miss it! For now, enjoy part 1! Happy Wednesday! And leave them some love at the end of this post — even though they looked like natural models, they were nervous 😉
