Hipster - Beach Chic

I first met Renee Trudeau in 1999 in Truckee, CA. We worked as day camp counselors for the recreation  department in Tahoe Donner during the summer season. We enjoyed the experience so much we decided to do it every summer all the way through high school! As we both went off to college (Renee in Florida, myself in California) we drifted from the distance. In April 2011, we reunited in Miami, where we both  live, work, play and LOVE. It has been so wonderful getting to know Renee again over the last year and a half. In this time, I have watched her career as a golf pro flourish and become a fiance to Colin O'Higgins! Colin, her charming and absolutely lovable soon to be husband popped the question in June 2012 in Bimini, Bahamas. The two of them quickly dove into wedding planning and will tie the knot in Mexico in May 2013!

I was lucky enough to be able to shoot their engagement pictures two weeks ago. The first half of our afternoon was spent in Wynwood, the design district of Miami. The murals in this neighborhood provided a fun backdrop and the two of them quickly became comfortable in front of the lens. The second half of our shoot was shot in South Beach at sundown. 

Also, if you are ever in need of an amazing golf pro I highly recommend Trudeau Golf
For those of you looking for a great place to dine in Miami check out Colin's food blog here. He knows what's up. :)

  3. I noticed while driving to work earlier this week that "our wall" in Winwood has been painted over. Kind of neat that it was just this temporary decoration, never to be reproduced, and we caught it just in time.
