Ohh sweet Jessica & Chris!
These two just absolutely make me smile 😊 I just love their gentleness and pure hearts.
We met at the Dali Museum in Downtown St.Pete for their engagement session and we got to share many laughs and precious moments together… we ended the session over at the “ever growing and super popular” St. Pete Pier and ohh my ohh my… it was such a perfect backdrop to celebrate the two.

Jessica & Chris will be tying the knot in April of 2023 at the Tampa Bay Watch overlooking our gorgeous Bay.
I am so happy and excited to celebrate these two! Congratulations on your engagement 🎉

Kelly + Ray Step Into The Limelight | Downtown St. Pete | St. Petersburg, FL

August 26, 2021

First off, we LOVED meeting Kelly and Ray. The weather tried to put a damper on their engagement session but even through the rain and thunder, this couple was full of smiles!
Kelly and Ray love St. Pete so they wanted to make sure that iconic landmarks were a part of their session. We started at the Dali and then made our way over to the new St. Pete Pier for some sunset photos. WOW what a sunset we had. Brilliant orange and golds filled the sky and we even go a rainbow to end the session.

We had such an amazing time photographing this beautiful couple around the Museum of Fine Arts grounds in Downtown St Pete. Tina and Joey met about 3 years ago and have been inseparable ever since! They are both hard working individuals and love to stay active together. They will be saying their I-Do’s in August of 2020 at the Museum of Fine Arts St Pete and it will be spectacular, we simply can’t wait! Congratulations to this newly engaged couple!

Morgan + Ed Step Into The Limelight | Downtown St. Petersburg, FL

February 26, 2020

Oh Morgan & Ed, I just loved meeting them so much! Here’s a little story about this awesome couple!

They actually met at a party when Morgan was visiting a friend at Ed’s university. They hit it off, but they thought they would never see each other again because they were going to different schools. Turns out that 2 years later, Ed moved closer to Morgan’s hometown of Kansas City and that same friend Morgan was visiting invited both of them to a party again. And that time Ed was very quick to get Morgan’s number and ask her on a date! Also… ps that mutual friend is going to be their officiant! How special is that?!

Ed proposed on their family vacation in July (2019) in Fort Lauderdale. Morgan’s sister was taking pictures of them by the water before they went to their dinner reservations which Morgan’s family claimed was to celebrate Morgan’s sister and dad’s birthdays that are in July. Ed got down on his knee right there on the beach and Morgan’s sister got all my surprised reactions on camera.

Morgan loves that Ed is kind to everyone he meets and he is very funny. He has witty comebacks that just make her laugh. He’s very approachable and smiles often which is her favorite sight to see! Ed loves how cool Morgan is, they are always on the same page… and then stated

They moved to Florida because the warm weather allows them to be outside year round and they both are happiest by the water. They enjoy going to the beach, kayaking, and riding our bikes. Also, they really enjoy drinking a nice cold beer and watching football games together!

How can you not just love them?

Morgan & Ed… Congratulations on your engagement! You two make my heart very happy.

Erika + Wynn Step Into The Limelight | Downtown St. Petersburg

February 11, 2020

So much of Erika and Wynn’s love story is tied in to downtown St Pete! They had their first date at Red Mesa Cantina - we were able to even photograph them sitting at the exact same table! They spend many date nights at the local St Pete bars. And they were engaged in Straub Park, just beyond the Vinoy, and then headed to Red Mesa Cantina where friends and family met them to celebrate! They also will have their rehearsal dinner at Red Mesa Cantina, and their wedding will be held at the St Pete Museum of Fine Art. Wynn loves sailing and they both enjoy the water so we had to incorporate that in our session as well.

Due to an unexpected cold snap, the couple each wore a different outfit than originally planned. However, it worked out GREAT and made it easy to capture good “cuddle” “lovey” pictures. Congratulations Erika and Wynn - we are so excited for your upcoming wedding!
