I’m super inspired by the romanticism of old Floridian style. I’ve been calling my personal look “French Palm Beach” for years so when I had the chance to capture this darling afternoon, my heart sang. Stay tuned for more home updates and pretty coastal inspired weddings to come. Credits Photographer- @kir2benDesigner – Pamela Barefoot Events […]

Palm Beach Inspired Wedding in Amelia Island | Antiquated Romance | South Florida Weddings | The Hybrid Co 

After nearly 8 years as a wedding photographer, it’s rare that I share an experience that fundamentally changes the way I do my job. That said, I think we are all perpetual students; there’s always something to learn and some way to grow. 🤍 So much can be said without speaking and that reminder was […]

We had been planning this engagement for over a year now! Once COVID hit, we weren’t quite sure if we were going to be able to make Irene and Matthews engagement dreams come true. These two were debating between getting married in FL or DC so I just knew we were the perfect match! Since […]

It’s hard to put into words how I feel about these photos. I’ve known this groom for over 20 years! Yup, you read that correctly. We met in middle school at St Josephs and have been friends ever since. I finally met Taylor at a friend’s wedding and instantly fell in love. She’s down to […]

South Florida Wedding Venues | Best Florida Wedding Locations | FL Wedding Photographer Kir Tuben

Abbey & William planned a trip to South Florida to celebrate their one year anniversary. We actually snapped these portraits on the exact day these two got hitched one year ago! When deciding where to have their session, Abbey knew she wanted a few beach snaps but some classic South Florida backdrops as well. I suggested Worth Avenue and it seemed like the perfect match!

Worth Avenue Engagement Session | Palm Beach Florida Wedding Photographer | Abbey and William

I feel like I can’t even find the words to write this properly. Katie was my first friend I made after my parents divorced and my mom moved us to South Florida. I was the quite girl who talked to her cat and liked Jewel and Katie was my loud next door neighbor who did gymnastics, loved to play capture the flag and seemed to talk to everyone. We became best friends all through middle school and high school even though we never actually went to school together and I ended up moving houses nearly every 2 years. We then ended up going to college 20 minutes away from one another in North Carolina and have seen each other through various boyfriends, all sorts of pets, quitting sports, moving jobs and now getting married.

Palm Beach Engagement | Worth Avenue Engagement Photos | Katie and Dave

When your high school bestie has her first baby, you immediately fly home to meet her! I cannot believe that I am posting this entry. Lara and I met in Mr. Hock’s Biology class when I was 13 years old. When I decided to launch my business, her and Louis were the most supportive humans on the planet. It’s so funny to see how my business and her family has grown simultaneously!

South Florida Wedding Photographer | D’Lando Family | Lara + Louis + Olivia

If you had told me a few years back that I would be photographing an engagement session just feet away from my childhood home, I would’ve called you crazy. But LIFE is crazy, not us! When my super fun Richmond couple Lauren and Zach told me that they were moving to South Florida I was super excited. I then became ecstatic when they told me they chose DELRAY BEACH.. MY HOMETOWN! After debating Virginia locations for their engagement session Lauren finally asked “why don’t we just do a Florida engagement session?”

Delray Beach Florida Engagement Session | Atlantic Avenue Engagement | Lauren and Zach

I’ve known Lara since our high school, Freshman year Biology class. That was almost 15 years ago!! It is surreal for me that I am actually posting these photos. So much time has passed and our friendship has stayed just as strong ever since we were teenagers. I am beaming from ear to ear for her and Louis as they expect their first child: baby girl Olivia.
