Katrina and Keith are a music-loving couple who shot their engagement session with Acromatico in the Wynwood Art District near downtown Miami, Florida, posing among the neighborhood's graffiti walls. Katrina judges American Idol auditions at Walt Disney World in Orlando and sings; Keith is a sound director.
Music is the through-line for Katrina and Keith. Katrina is one of the judges at the American Idol auditions held at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, and she sings, while Keith works as a sound director, so the two are well matched. For their engagement session, Acromatico headed down to the Wynwood Art District near downtown Miami, and it was the studio's first time photographing there.
The draw was the neighborhood's graffiti walls, which Acromatico loved working with. It rained hard the day of the shoot, and the drive in included a near-crash, but the couple came through fine and the rain held off during the session itself.
“We head down to the Wynwood art district area near downtown Miami. We couldn't believe it was our first time at that place. We LOVE those graffiti walls!”
Good to know
Wynwood is a neighborhood just north of downtown Miami, Florida, known for the dense, ever-changing outdoor murals and graffiti walls that cover its warehouse facades. The district's open-air, street-art character makes it one of Miami's most recognizable backdrops for engagement and portrait photography, with color and texture on nearly every block rather than a single fixed landmark.
Because so much of Wynwood is painted on working warehouse walls in a walkable grid, couples can move between several distinct backdrops within a short distance. South Florida's weather can shift quickly, especially in late summer, so building a little flexibility into the timeline, as on Katrina and Keith's rainy shoot day, helps when an afternoon storm rolls through before clearing.
