When Sara was showing me her inspo photos for their engagement session it had a light and airy open space with white balloons and I was like, hmm that looks like my living room:-) So, they brought a bunch of balloons and the white along with the light blue curtains in the background turned out perfectly! These 2 are just the absolutely sweetest. We did something really fun for their save the date that I’ll be sharing later so keep your eyes out for that! March 2023 they’re getting married and we get to be there!

Joe and Dale live in Safety Harbor and are getting married this weekend at Harborside Chapel and Safety Harbor Resort & Spa! It was perfectly fitting that we did their engagement session at the gorgeous Philippe Park along with their sweet pup BJ in his custom bandana of course. I love that green flowy dress Dale chose along with Joe’s casual look was perfect for their waterfront location. And her shoes! They are super cute, she told me they were from Amazon so I ordered myself a pair in navy. They are just the cutest couple and we are so looking forward to their wedding this weekend!

Christine and Rob live in Texas but are getting married here in Florida next May! I love when couples have a location for their engagement session that is sentimental and this location is an extra special one. Rob’s family lives in the Sarasota area and they have this really cool beach cabana where his family has always come to relax and enjoy the gorgeous beach. There was no one there but us and the turquoise blue water.

Ballast point is a hidden little gem right at the very end of Bayshore Blvd and where we did Darci and Russell’s engagement session. At dusk, there’s just a few minutes where the light on the city of Tampa in the distance and light where we were was even and it just looks spectacular with the calm water and pink tones in the sky. Gotta be patient but it’s worth it! I had so much fun hanging out with these 2, we even got a dolphin fin in the background!!

No one seems to know that that big white metal thing on Bayshore is! I always call it the big metal slinky so I finally googled it and actually it is called The Wave, an art piece created by Mary Ann Unger and installed there in 1989. It was created to frame different parts of the city as you walk around and look through it, as well as the rays of light and shadows it creates, pretty cool right? Per my search, Bayshore is also the world;s longest continuous sidewalk at 4.5 miles long, well done Tampa lol.

Liz and Jory will be tying the knot in a beautiful garden next March. They live out by the beach, so Sand Key was the perfect spot for their engagement session. Their handsome little guy, Quinn, even joined us for some as well and he even helped me hold the off camera flash for sunset. I absolutely love these sweet moments with the 2, and the 3 of them. Couples who have kids ask me all the time if they should include their kids in their engagement session and I actually love when they do! I think it’s such a great way to help them be a part of the journey and celebration and you get some gorgeous photos as a family as well!

The perfect spot that totally vibes with the wedding and is so “Tampa” is the lovely water front views at Curtis Hixon Park. You all know it’s one of our favs!! Ashton’s pop of pink shoes with that gorgeous ivory dress with Chris’ neutral outfit looked amazing with all the greenery and waterfront views. 5.14.22 they will become Mr. and Mrs. Koenig and we can’t wait!!

All you really need for a great engagement session is a super fun couple and a spot with gorgeous light and that’s what we had for Madison and Chris’ session. I love new places, and sometimes not even preparing, but just showing up and seeing what I see. Madison had this great little spot she sent me the coordinates to and it had awesome trees and tall whispy grasses that was just so pretty!! They are getting married at Legacy Lane Farm next October and their save the dates will totally set the tone as this is a different location but totally goes with the gorgeous outdoor vibe of Legacy Lane.

There really is no better place for an elegant, classic, black and white engagement session than downtown Tampa! I loved getting to know Caroline and Shane and their 2 adorable fur babies Leo and Brody, who also were in matching black ties. Golden hour was the best time for their session because the steps at Le Meridien are totally in the shade and you get that pretty golden light against the buildings downtown. We took advantage of all the pretty spots and how much these 2 adore one another!

Ross proposed to Joanna while they were out on their boat in the bay, close to the St. Pete Pier. So while we were planning their session, the perfect spot was downtown St. Pete, and I love how the pier is just in the distance in the background. The light purple and blue they wore for the park, and the outfit change for the waterfront and a little bit of night time with the lights in the park looked amazing! It was so fun working with you guys!!! Here’s just a few of my favs!

Miriam took a little stroll around the St. Pete Pier and the park downtown with Michelle and Rasheed for their engagement session.

Being from the midwest, it’s not lost on me how fortunate we are to be such an amazing destination location for weddings!

Bonnie and Mike are from New Jersey and planning their destination wedding here in Clearwater Beach.
