Joey-Ann and Richard had their engagement session at Bayside in Miami, Florida, photographed by Acromatico. She is a nurse, he is a firefighter, and they met at the hospital three years earlier. The shoot went ahead despite a heavy rainstorm on the day.
Joey-Ann and Richard met at the hospital three years before this engagement session. She is a nurse and he is a firefighter, two people who both save lives, and they fell for each other when they met. Acromatico photographed the couple at Bayside in Miami, Florida.
The session happened on what was, in plain terms, a difficult day to shoot anything: a heavy rainstorm rolled through Bayside. The couple went ahead with it anyway, and the photographs became their love story told at the waterfront.
“I guess our firefighter not only knows how to shut down fire but rain as well.”
Good to know
Bayside Marketplace is a waterfront shopping and dining destination on Biscayne Bay in downtown Miami, Florida, just south of the MacArthur Causeway and steps from Bayfront Park. Its open-air promenades, marina full of boats, and direct views across the bay toward the Port of Miami make it a popular backdrop for engagement sessions, with palm-lined walkways and the downtown skyline both within easy reach.
Because Bayside sits right on the water in a subtropical climate, weather can shift fast, as Joey-Ann and Richard found when a rainstorm arrived. Couples planning a session here should keep a flexible mindset, build in a little buffer time, and remember that the marina, covered walkways, and surrounding park areas offer options whatever the sky decides to do.
