Shauna and Dwayne's engagement portrait session took place on the Bal Harbour beaches in Miami-Dade County, Florida, photographed by Acromatico. They brought their little one, Jordan, along, and the session came ahead of their destination wedding planned for 2015.
Shauna and Dwayne returned to the Bal Harbour beaches for their engagement portrait session with Acromatico, a stretch of Miami-Dade coastline the studio describes as an old backyard. Though it was an engagement session, the couple brought their little one, Jordan, along, making it a fun, refreshing afternoon by the water.
Their chemistry was easy and getting them to smile was effortless. At one point the session was photo-bombed by a passing pelican. Shauna and Dwayne were planning a destination wedding in 2015, and this seaside session was a chance to mark the moment before that day arrived.
“Shauna and Dwayne's chemistry was awesome, getting them to smile was effortless.”
Good to know
Bal Harbour is a small oceanfront village at the northern tip of Miami Beach in Miami-Dade County, Florida, sitting between the Atlantic Ocean and Biscayne Bay just south of Surfside and across Baker's Haulover Inlet from Haulover Park. Its public beaches and quiet, upscale character make the shoreline a calm setting for engagement and family portrait sessions, away from the busier stretches of South Beach to the south.
For couples planning a beach portrait session here, the open Atlantic light and uninterrupted sand give plenty of room to move, and the area's wildlife — pelicans included — is part of the coastal scenery. Acromatico is a family-run photography and brand studio founded in 2004, working across South Florida and New York City with a dark fine-art Brand Studio aesthetic, and Bal Harbour is among the South Florida beaches the team knows well.
