I’m so excited to share this gorgeous Palm Beach engagement session with the sweetest, most fun loving couple! Marissa and Robert “Bubba” met back in college in 2012 and started dating after Bubba broke the ice, in true 2012 fashion, via Facebook. They’ve been together for 7 amazing years. One their first date, Bubba took Marissa for a pitching lesson and he must have had a feeling even then that this was the woman he was going to marry because he ended up taking the laces of the baseball and making a bracelet out of it, which Marissa still has and brought with to their engagement session. And if that’s not cute enough for you, we choose Palm Beach Island for their engagement session because, not only did they want an elegant and historic backdrop for their session, but Bubba proposed to Marissa in front of the fountain you’ll see below! He did it “Bachelorette style” because of how much Marissa loves the Bachelorette. He stood by himself and had her walk up to him and presented her with three roses. Marissa and Bubba are getting married next January at a beautiful lake front property, appropriately named The Lake House. I am so beyond excited for them and have to say that they are going to make a stunning bride and groom!

BEHIND THE LENS

MEET MELISSA

At home near the coast. Ever-focused on beauty and the art of creation; found in the quiet moments that leave me breathless and in awe. 

As a South Florida fine art and film wedding photographer, I approach every wedding with an artist’s eye and a storyteller’s heart, quietly observing, gently guiding, and always attuned to the moments that matter most. From the big emotions to the in-between details, I’m there to preserve it all with care and intention. With a background in fine arts from RISD and over a decade photographing weddings, my work is rooted in thoughtful composition, emotional depth, and a love for meaningful stories. You’ll find me offering calm support, a joyful presence, and just enough direction to help you feel fully seen and at ease. Every look, every handhold, every fleeting second, it’s all part of your story. And it would be an honor to tell it.
