Jessica & Brian: Zoo Miami and Beach Engagement

We walked up to the gates of Zoo Miami and our hearts dropped as we saw all of the entrances with their steel gates drawn and no attendants in the windows. They weren’t due to close for another hour and a half and our dreams of photographing Brian and Jessica’s engagement photos in the zoo were crushed. I tried to make best of the situation and offered to take a few by the beautiful waterfall in the in the entrance. After a few minutes there, Brian and Jessica decided to try their luck and ask the staff inside the zoological society if there were any way we could go in just take a few photos. Much to our surprise, the staff was super sweet and very accommodating. Jessica and Brian are huge animal lovers and explained to them they were annual pass holders and even members of the zoological society. The staff jumped at the opportunity to make this memorable for them and even offered to take us around in a golf cart so we could get to their favorite exhibits quickly. What we thought was going to be an ordinary trip to the zoo ended up being better than we could have ever imagined.

The staff was nice enough to re-open the giraffe feeding exhibit for us. These two were even brave enough to feed them straight from their mouth to the giraffes!

I love how the baby giraffe  is checking them out while they sneak a kiss

The one below is one of my top favorites!
Then we headed over to Bill Baggs State Park to capture some beach photos. I adore these two with their save-the-date sign.
I saved my other favorite for last. This image feels so serene to me.
