Destination St. Pete Beach Sunset Family Session | Riley/Griffin Family

I’ve gotten to photograph Autumn and Collin's most important moments, starting with their engagement session over 11 years ago, their wedding, both their boys first years’ and this time their family beach getaway at Tradewinds Island Resort.

Autumn's parents and brother, along with his family, traveled from Arkansas, everyone is growing up so quickly! It felt like a reunion with old friends, catching up on life's new chapters and witnessing the bonds that have strengthened over the years.

The family's coordinated outfits added a lovely touch to the evening's ambiance. The palette of coral, navy, shades of blue, and ivory not only looked stunning against the backdrop of the setting sun but also highlighted each family's personality. The colors complemented each other perfectly, creating a harmonious and visually pleasing scene.

Autumn’s 2 nieces asked me if I take photo requests! Not from everyone but from them yes! They wanted to hold hands looking at the sunset and then to make a heart where their hands were silhouetted. Turned out pretty awesome!

It's an honor to be a part of their journey, documenting the moments that matter most. Here's to many more years of love, laughter, and beautiful memories with Autumn, Collin, and their wonderful family!
