2009Engagement Session: Jose and Viviana
Today, Jose, Viviana, and I met at Deering Estate Park for their engagement session!

The day was fantastic with bright blue skyes and really, REALLY WARM South Florida temperatures. We all arrived at 10am and were about to begin our session when suddenly we felt them: mosquitoes!! Too many for us to count, and I was wearing shorts! So I decided to make a quick run to the nearby gas station to buy “Off insect repellent”. Thank God for “Off,” because other wise, those mosquitoes would have eaten us alive!!!
Mosquitos were not the only insects we encountered during our engagement session. We also had a friendly encounter with these:

- The “Golden Orb Weaver” is the Spider family located at Deering Estate Park.
It seems that this seasonal spider is prolific in Deering Estate and let me tell you, there were many!! But relax, according to the Park Rangers, these spiders are harmless to human beings, they are just “scary looking”! Well, we didn’t try to test their theory so we let them be and carefully maneuvered ourselves through some of the webs to catch some great images! Jose and Viviana were amazing and very brave! Thanks to their braveness, I took these images of them:




After a great beginning, we headed over to the main house for additional images. I wont kid you, the day was hot and humid, but these two made it feel so much better as I had a great time capturing their love. Enjoy the rest of the images below:








Next stop for us is Puerto Rico! Jose and Viviana’s wedding is next month in the beautiful island of Puerto Rico and let me tell you: it will be explosive!
Jose and Viviana, thank you for the great time today, enjoy these previews and I look forward to your wedding in Puerto Rico next month!
