Wow, where to start! I am not easily without words, but this engagement shoot was just such a dream to me, its hard to express in words what I felt.

First of all, Marcelle and Thiago are such a pleasure to be around. They are both adventurous, kind, genuinely interested in people, and just lots of fun in general.

The three of us have a love for traveling (even tho they travel lots more as I do) and photography, and it was just so easy to click with them. They are currently living in Miami, but their December wedding will take place in the Dominican Republic.

As I had plans to travel to Orlando this year to meet with my brother and his girlfriend I hadn't seen in two years; the idea came along to do an engagement session in Miami, as its been a great part of their relationship. Marcelle came up with this dream place, Vizcaya.

As we entered we right away felt like we were in Europe, traveling through Italy and Greece. What a dream place! We were so lucky with the great weather we had, because recently it had rained a lot! Weather was só good, the three of us must have lost at least 5 pounds sweating away, hah!

Having them in front of my lens was such a pleasure, they are so photogenic and completely in love. Marcelle and Thiago, I can't thank you enough for trusting this memory with me, I will never forget this magical day and I can't wait for their December wedding to come.

Enjoy these photos!
