Mayra and Chris are an engaged South Florida couple — Chris a Miami Police Department officer — photographed by Acromatico during an early-morning sunrise engagement session along the South Florida coast. The session was captured at first light and shared in full on the studio's gallery.
This was another South Florida sunrise session, and the kind of morning light Acromatico keeps coming back to — the studio is candid that it can't really get over them. Mayra and Chris met the camera at first light for their engagement portraits, with Chris bringing a detail the studio was glad to celebrate: he serves as a Miami Police Department officer.
The full set of images from Mayra and Chris's engagement session lives on the studio's Print Store, where the rest of the sunrise frames can be viewed.
“Another beautiful South Florida sunrise session. You can't really get over them.”
Good to know
South Florida — the stretch from Miami north through Broward and Palm Beach counties — faces directly east onto the Atlantic, which makes its public beaches some of the best sunrise portrait locations in the country. Because the sun rises straight off the open ocean here, couples get a clean horizon, warm directional light, and far smaller crowds than the same shoreline sees by midday. A sunrise engagement session typically means meeting before dawn, so the soft "golden hour" window is captured in the first 30 to 60 minutes after the sun clears the water.
If you're searching for a South Florida engagement photographer, an early call time is the trade most couples don't expect but rarely regret: light is gentler, the beach is quieter, and parking near public access points is easy before the day fills in. Acromatico has photographed South Florida couples since 2004 and works from studios in South Florida and New York City, so sunrise coastal sessions are familiar territory for the team.
