2024: Celebrating Another Year of Capturing Life’s Most Cherished Moments

As the calendar turns to another year, I’m filled with gratitude for the incredible moments I was entrusted to capture in 2024. My work as a South Florida photographer has taken me from the warmth of intimate family gatherings to the elegance of grand weddings, the excitement of surprise proposals, the quiet magic of maternity sessions—and one of my most thrilling achievements to date, working with Getty Images. Every client, every story, every photograph has added another layer of richness to my year—and my heart.

A Year Full of Diversity, Growth, and Reach

This year, my camera led me on a beautifully diverse path. From the vibrant streets of Miami to serene beaches and elegant venues, I was honored to be a part of moments that truly mattered to the people I worked with. The variety of experiences this year sharpened not only my skills but also my perspective as a photographer. Every project became a chance to tell a unique story, whether documenting the effortless style of a branding session or the love radiating from a couple on their wedding day.

One of the most exciting highlights of my year was collaborating with Getty Images. This prestigious partnership allowed me to expand my portfolio and capture high-profile events with global impact. Being part of a platform that shares images with such a wide and influential audience was humbling and empowering. It challenged me creatively and fueled my passion for storytelling through photography on a whole new level. The projects I worked on with Getty allowed me to capture everything from cultural celebrations to dynamic, fast-paced corporate settings—all while elevating my appreciation for the beauty in each moment.

Beyond Getty, the year included unforgettable highlights like the destination wedding at the breathtaking Grand Velas in Los Cabos. From the moment I arrived, the setting felt like a dream—a picturesque beachfront with views that seemed to stretch forever, paired with the intimate joy of family and friends celebrating love in one of the most stunning environments I’ve ever photographed. The blend of natural beauty and festive elegance turned every snapshot into something timeless, making this wedding a treasure.

Another standout experience was a surprise proposal at the iconic Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, a moment that took creativity to new heights. The groom-to-be cleverly disguised the proposal as one of their usual photo sessions, something they love to do when exploring new places. This thoughtful touch set the stage for an incredibly personal moment. The session's theme was avant-garde, adding a bold, artistic flair. From the dramatic outfits to the stunning architectural backdrops, the photos radiated a unique, editorial-like quality that perfectly reflected their style as a couple. The transition from what was considered just a themed photoshoot to the heart-stopping moment when he got down on one knee made the day unforgettable.

Additionally, 2024 brought family sessions that showcased togetherness in its purest form, maternity shoots that celebrated the beauty of new life, and branding sessions that spotlighted inspiring entrepreneurs carving their paths. These moments weren’t just about photographing—they were about connecting, listening, and reflecting the incredible stories of my clients through the lens.

A Thank You to My Clients

To everyone who trusted me with their milestones and memories this year, thank you. Your stories inspire me, your trust motivates me, and your joy is my reward. Weddings, engagements, maternity sessions, branding projects, and collaborating with Getty Images—all of these experiences continue to shape me as an artist. It’s this trust and these opportunities that push me to grow and refine my craft every single day.

Anticipation for 2025

Looking ahead to 2025, my heart races with excitement for what’s to come. New faces, new stories, new places, and hopefully even more trails to blaze await, and I can hardly wait to meet them all. The joy in a groom’s eyes as he sees his bride for the first time, the laughter of children during a family shoot, and the confidence of an entrepreneur stepping in front of my lens are the moments I live for. They remind me why I fell in love with photography in the first place.

To the couples planning their big days, the families cherishing time together, the soon-to-be-mothers, the brands preparing to launch their vision into the world, and the broader connections I’ll forge through platforms like Getty Images—I can’t wait to document your journeys. Every photo tells a story, and I look forward to helping yours unfold in 2025.

Here’s to another year of growth, love, and unforgettable memories—cheers to 2024 and the wonderful people who made it so special. See you in 2025!

Warmly,
Alekandra
