Jen and Elias: In Love in Miami’s Beautiful Viscaya

Fashion, Love and Engagement, Portraits | 1 Comment

Vizcaya.  If I had to name the ten most beautiful places in Miami, the Vizcaya Museum and Gardens would be on that list.  It might even be at the top. My appreciation grows for the structures, the details, and the history every time I see it.

Going with Jen and Elias there made our hearts increase for it even more.  How could it not?  Two beautiful people, in love, wandering amongst perfect French gardens and Italian architechture under a blue sky.  The crackle of rain danced in the distance all the while, yet never near enough to chase us away. Photos of Vizcaya alone are romantic.  Photos of lovers as their eyes meet across a moss-covered marble collonade is positively swoon-worthy.

If I were the swooning type, of course.  But that’s beside the point.  The real point is, if you love beautiful architechture, serene waterways, cool misty gardens, intriguing statues, or Jen and Elias (like we do!) then there’s something here for you.  Take a look!

Jessica and Matthew: Engagement in Fort Lauderdale

Love and Engagement | 2 Comments

Not so long ago, a gang of 50 brides gathered together on Fort Lauderdale beach to grapple for the grand prize of an all-included free wedding–The Battle of the Beach Brides. They ran obstacle courses, dug for diamonds, tossed bouquets, and ate cake faster than everyone else. Michelle Lawson Photography was there to capture it all.

But that story is not really why we’ve gathered here today, folks. At that wild and crazy event we met our latest engaged couple, Jessica and Matthew. And while they didn’t win the awesome grand prize that day, they were won over by our super awesome photography style :) They asked us to do an Engagement Session with them.

Awesome!!

These two were so fun to work with. They wanted to steer clear of the traditional and really just capture who they are–quirky, happy, funny, hip, in love. Oh and more, of course, but the pictures will help you get the idea….

Priscilla and Billy: Rock That Dress at Parkland Country Club, Florida

Weddings | Comments Off

Many months ago, Priscilla and Billy met at Starbucks. No. . . . they didn’t meet each other there, silly. They met us! Michelle Lawson Photography! Yep, that’s when the love began. And by “love ” I mean “photography” of course.

Priscilla and Billy’s love began at Disney World.  And by “love” I mean “real love” because that’s where Billy proposed, in the castle, of course. (I realize that they probably loved each other before the engagement day, but just go with me on this, okay?)

So Priscilla loves Billy, and he loves her back.  They love Michelle Lawson Photography, and we love them back! We also all love Disney World, but who doesn’t?? There’s a whole lotta love goin’ on.  We did an engagement shoot at Disney, a wedding day at Parkland Country Club, and now we’re back at the Parkland site to Rock the Dress and have some fun!
