Chic Palm Beach Engagement

Worth Avenue

Courtney and Jacob are as sweet as they are adorable. Living in Florida temporarily while Courtney finishes clinicals for her medical career, they decided to go beachy with this chic + coastal engagement session. Worth Avenue on Palm Beach is one of my absolute favorite places for engagement sessions because the old architecture makes it super romantic and luxurious. If you feel like dressing up, this is definitely the spot for you!
