A Romantic Proposal at Hillsboro Inlet Lighthouse: A Private Boat-In Experience


This Pompano Beach proposal was truly one for the books. Reaching the historic Hillsboro Inlet Lighthouse requires a bit of adventure, as this iconic South Florida landmark is only accessible by boat. For this session, we leaned into the nautical charm, decorating the vessel with lush floral arrangements that set the perfect stage for a "yes."

Elevating the Moment with Drone Photography

To capture the true scale of the lighthouse and the surrounding turquoise waters, I brought along the drone. Aerial shots provide a perspective that ground-level photography simply can’t match, especially when you're positioned between the Atlantic Ocean and the Hillsboro Inlet. These "true to style" editorial shots highlight the intimacy of the couple against the vast, stunning backdrop of the Florida coastline.

Tailoring Your Unique South Florida Engagement Session


If you are looking for a truly unique experience for your own session, I love helping coordinate the logistics to make it happen. We can arrange a private boat ride to the lighthouse docks for that exclusive, high-end feel.

However, if you don't quite have your "sea legs" yet, there is another beautiful way to capture this location. I can guide you through a private beach entrance that is just a short walk away. This allows us to access the land side of the lighthouse, giving you those towering white-and-black iron structures in your photos without ever having to step off solid ground.

An Inclusive Experience for Every Couple


It is so important to me that every couple I work with feels celebrated and seen. Whether we are planning an adventurous boat-in proposal or a quiet sunset session at a private beach entrance, my goal is to create a space where you can be your most authentic selves. I am proud to be an LGBTQ+ inclusive photographer—I believe love is beautiful in every form, and I’m here to be your biggest "hype girl" as we capture your unique connection.
