{ allie + eric | european inspired engagement session }

There is nothing quite like Palm Beach, when it comes to old-world European inspired architectural charm. The bride-to-be was fashion fabulous in a Rime Arodaky ivory jumpsuit, with lace train, Mignonne Gavigan statement earrings, and heirloom engagement ring. As we explored the nestled vias off Worth Ave, Allie + Eric’s sweet, on-camera chemistry was so beautiful to capture. Can’t wait to work with Posh Parties on their 2020 winter wedding!!
