Natalie and Shawn are an engaged couple — Shawn is a firefighter — photographed by Acromatico for their engagement session at Markham Park in Sunrise, Florida. The shoot included Shawn's fire truck, and Shawn is a longtime friend the studio has known since childhood.
Shawn won over Natalie with a line worthy of his job: "Keep calm and let me save your kitty." He may not have actually saved a kitty, but he is a firefighter — and he has her heart. For Acromatico, this engagement session was a rare and welcome one: a chance to work with a firefighter and his truck, and an even rarer chance to photograph an old friend the studio has known since they were kids.
Natalie and Shawn were natural in front of the camera, and the session took place at Markham Park in Sunrise, Florida. As the studio put it, these two were on fire — figuratively, of course.
“Keep calm and let me save your kitty. That's how Shawn won over Natalie's heart.”
Good to know
Markham Park is a large regional park in Sunrise, Broward County, on the western edge of the Miami metro area, bordering the Everglades buffer. Operated by Broward County Parks, it spreads across rolling green space, waterways and open fields, which gives couples a mix of backdrops within one location — wooded paths, lakeside spots and wide-open lawns — without leaving the park.
Because Markham Park sits west of central Broward, it draws couples from across South Florida who want green, natural scenery rather than a city or beach setting. Its size means you can move between several distinct looks in a single visit, which is useful for an engagement session where you want variety. Acromatico is a family-run photography and brand studio, founded in 2004 and working across South Florida and New York City with a dark fine-art "Brand Studio" aesthetic.
