Atlantic Avenue Engagement photos | Sarah + John

My brother-in-law John, future sister-in-law Sarah, and I were headed to Atlantic Avenue in downtown Delray Beach for their engagement session and it went a little something like this:

- Driving on I-95 (John was driving) we got off on the wrong exit (long story short, we’re still alive)!
- Walking to Atlantic Avenue, not even one image taken, and John steps into a drain hole and twists his ankle!
- John made a super speedy recovery from the drain hole incident!
- Game time! Started shooting away like it’s my business!
- They never realized how much fun their engagement session would be!
- They were both amazed on how much attention you get walking around Delray Beach shooting engagement photos!
- John realized how much he loved the taste of Sarah’s lip gloss!
- Sarah laughed the whole time :-)
- Both were super happy when I shot some fun iPhones photos!
- We were all very excited about what we had accomplished, so we stopped by Lemon Grass to chow down!

Sarah and John are a unique, crazy, fun couple in love and I’m looking forward to attending and documenting their wedding later this year.

First up, a handful of “Sarah smiles”!!!

Engagement photos at Fairchild Park | Evelyn + Mike

I strongly believe that everything in life, no matter how bad or good, happens for a reason! I feel that Evelyn and Mike found me to shoot their engagement and wedding to remind me how much I love connecting with people and capturing their pure beauty! So I say thank you to Evelyn and Mike for letting me do what I do best, which is capturing smiles, giggles, hugs, kisses, and most of all love on digital film!

Years ago before I started documenting wedding I attended a wedding at Fairchild Tropical Botanic Gardens in Coral Gables. It’s a beautiful South Florida venue that hosts outdoor weddings and events, perfect for taking fun and relaxed engagement photos.

The Fairchild Tropical Botanic Gardens were sporting some serious cactus plants!

If I recall correctly I was telling Evelyn to imagine Mike in a pink Speedo!

The National Hotel South Beach Miami

South Florida has some of the most amazing boutique hotels in the states, and the National Hotel is definitely one of them located in the South Beach area of Miami. This art deco style palace is a surreal destination that hosts the most exquisite indoor and outdoor weddings from around the world! Boasting spectacular views of the ocean and the famous 205-foot-long “Infinity” Pool, their beautiful gardens are the perfect location for poolside ceremonies and receptions. They also have an elegant Art Deco style Oval Room that is ideal for romantic receptions, and an intimate Martini Room that offers a more private dining room ambiance for smaller functions. All in all, it’s definitely a hotel that should be on your “Cool places I have to visit” list, even if you’re not planning on the tying the knot!

I had the chance to meet the one and only Jamie Lipman (Catering Sales Manager).  Now this girl knows how to host an event like no other!  In a nutshell, Jamie’s a wonderful, sweet, funny, caring, and super friendly person!  After meeting with her for only a few short minutes, it felt like an eternity, and it reflects on how successful her events are as she spends tons of personal attention to all her clients.  She’s also a huge Gators fan.  Go Gators!!! Below is all her info if you need to contact her!

Ronnee Lipman - Hi Todd- Not only are you an extremely talented photographer and artist, but you have great taste in hotels and catering managers. My name is Ronnee Lipman and I am Jamies's mom. Being as "objective" as I can possibly be, I have to agree with you that the elegant simplicity of the "National" truly makes it a gem in the heart of South Beach. As for the catering manager, Jamie is without equal. Her extroverted personality, her expertise, and her attention to detail makes every event perfect. She is the best!!January 8, 2010 -

Mirelis - Great work Todd!January 8, 2010 -
