Alexandra + Nataly
Engagement Session Location: Matheson Hammock Park
City, State: Miami, FL
On a beautiful day at Matheson Hammock Park in Miami, FL, Alexandra and Nataly met up with Jennifer Cortiella of Cortiella Photography for their engagement photo session. As they walked the park paths with their pup, they stopped for a little dancing, sweet spins and soft kisses.
“I love the way she holds my hand and makes me feel like I’m the only woman in the world. How there can be a million things going on, but she still puts us first. The way she loves. Her passion.” Alexandra says of Nataly.
