Pure joy = Sammi + Mihai’s love.

Engagement sessions are some of our favorite session to capture because it allows us to get to know our bride and groom outside of the busyness of the wedding day, and we sure LOVED this session with Sammi and Mihai.

Sammi and Mihai wanted photos in St. Pete, where we could highlight the beautiful sunset in the city and walk around the pier during golden hour, and that we did! It was truly a beautiful day for an engagement session, with cooler temps, a slight breeze and the light hit the cityscape just perfectly the entire session.

Sammi and Mihai radiate joy, love and excitement. Photographing them together was truly so easy and fun. These two are tying the knot in April 2024 and we couldn’t be more excited for them!!

Michelle and Alex met on Bumble and were engaged two months ago. They are seriously the sweetest! They brought me a homemade bottle of wine that they created together as a thank you gift to our session. They really enjoy wine making together,, along with cooking, bowling and playing golf. It was a beautiful day in St Pete and we met at a hidden little treasure called Abercrombie Park. We had beautiful spring weather and a gorgeous sunset! Congratulations Michelle and Alex! We cannot wait for your wedding in February!

Engagement sessions in Florida in the summer are always an adventure! In Jessica and Jakob’s case, we had been trying to dodge rain for weeks. Eventually we decided to brave the storms and see if we could create some magic in beautiful downtown St. Pete.

Jessica and Jakob had a wonderful image in mind of capturing the skyline of downtown St. Pete with a wonderful sunset behind it to commemorate that they will be getting married here in May of 2022. Unfortunately the sunset did not cooperate due to storms in the area, but the clouds created a dramatic backdrop and allowed Jessica and Jakob to steal the show with her beautiful white dress and his classic button down shirt.

They also had an outfit change in the middle of the shoot, and we moved over to a botanical garden to get some color in the shoot, and it was definitely the highlight of the evening. The garden was beautiful and really accented the two of them and allowed them to get really comfortable in front of the camera.

Sometimes with couples, you can just tell when they have a different kind of love by the way they look at each other. Jessica and Jakob had love in their eyes the whole evening from start to finish. They persevered through rain, red tide, and wind and still managed to look absolutely stunning throughout. I absolutely cannot wait to be a part of their big day with (hopefully) some fantastic weather to go with it :) These two are special!

Hannah + Adam Step Into The Limelight | Isla Del Sol Yacht & Country Club | St. Petersburg, FL

March 6, 2020

Hannah & Adam met in the Summer of 2015 through mutual friends. Since then… life has been full of beauty and their fur babies! Adam even proposed to Hannah right in their living room alongside their doggies.
They support each other in everything they do and honesty is key between the two.
Hannah & Adam enjoy traveling, hiking, swimming and exploring together.

Their wedding day was filled with lot of colors and family was all around… we were surrounded by water and sunshine. We truly loved seeing these two tie the knot. They have planned and dreamed of this day for quite some time, so seeing their vision come to life was precious. There were many DYI elements, from the bouquets done by Hannah’ sister to the decor on the gazebo to each little detail on the tables, the custom shells carrying the rings and flower girl baskets all made or embellished by hand.

Hannah & Adam we wish you both so much LOVE and many more adventures together!
