A Chic & Romantic Engagement Session on the Water with Nicole & Ryan

As a photographer, there are sessions that feel effortless—the kind where the energy is calm, the connection is genuine, and everything just flows. Nicole & Ryan’s engagement session was exactly that.

Nicole and Ryan live in Downtown Tampa, so choosing a session that reflected their lifestyle and vibe was important to them. When they suggested Tampa Water Limo | Dulcinea, I knew instantly it was so them. Chic, romantic, relaxed, and a little bit elevated… just like their love story!

From the moment we stepped aboard, the tone was set. The gentle movement of the water, the city skyline in the distance, and the quiet intimacy of being out on the water created the perfect atmosphere. This engagement session felt less like a photoshoot and more like a beautiful experience we all got to share together.

What I loved most was how natural everything felt. We laughed, talked, and truly got to know each other along the way. Nicole & Ryan were completely at ease as they snuggled close, sharing quiet moments, and letting their connection shine without forcing anything. Those are always my favorite sessions; you know, the ones that feel romantic, stylish, and real.

Their story is just as modern and sweet as they are. Nicole and Ryan met at the gym, after exchanging a few Instagram DM’s (proof that love really does find you in the most unexpected places!). That effortless, contemporary beginning fits them perfectly… and now here they are, planning their forever!

And speaking of forever, these two will be tying the knot in 2027 at the Hyatt Clearwater, and I already know their wedding day is going to be stunning. If their engagement session was any indication, their celebration will be filled with elegance, laughter, and so much love.

To Nicole & Ryan: thank you for trusting me to document this chapter of your story. Spending the day on the water with you was truly a joy, and I cannot wait to continue capturing your journey together.

If you’re dreaming of an engagement session in Tampa that feels personal, romantic, and uniquely you, I’d love to help bring that vision to life.

Nicole + Cooper Step Into The Limelight | Howard Park Beach | Tarpon Springs, FL

Nicole & Cooper’s Engagement Session at Howard Park Beach – A Sunset Full of Fun (and One Amazing Dog)

We started the session in one of the quiet, hidden parts of Howard Park Beach, the perfect spot for Nicole and Cooper to warm up, relax, and let their sweet dog run free. I always love beginning in a calm area so couples can shake off any shyness, and honestly, it worked like magic. Their pup was having the time of his life, sprinting across the sand and even running straight toward my camera, which I absolutely loved! Usually, dogs ignore the photographer completely, but this one? A total superstar.

We also had the best helper that day, Cooper’s sister, who’s not only their biggest supporter but will also be the officiant at their wedding! She was amazing, taking care of the dog when it was time for the more adventurous shots and keeping the day flowing perfectly.

Once the pup was safely in the car, things really started to get fun. I had them run along the beach, splashing through the water, laughing the whole time and just when I thought it couldn’t get better, I had an idea. I told them, “Let’s climb those rocks!” And of course, Nicole and Cooper were totally up for it. Even though the beach guard was already telling us it was time to leave because the sun was setting, they didn’t hesitate. Up they went and the result? Absolutely epic. The sky was glowing and the moment was pure magic.

It was such a joy to photograph this day for you two. Every laugh, every little adventure, every sandy step made it unforgettable. I can’t wait to see you again soon on your big day!

Vince + Katie Step Into The Limelight | Indian Rocks Beach | Indian Rocks, FL

A Surprise Proposal on the Shores of Indian Rocks Beach

There’s something undeniably magical about a beachside proposal, and Vince’s surprise engagement to Katie on the evening of Thursday, June 19th, was no exception. Set against the warm, golden glow of the Florida sunset, this special moment unfolded on the serene shores of Indian Rocks Beach — and it was nothing short of unforgettable.

As Katie walked along the beach, hand in hand with Vince, she had no idea what was about to happen. The gentle sound of the waves, the soft sand beneath their feet, and the pastel sky above all came together to create a picture-perfect setting. 

Katie’s reaction said it all — surprise, joy, and pure love. The look in her eyes as she realized what was happening was priceless.Of course, she said yes.

The connection between Vince and Katie is undeniable. Throughout the session, they couldn’t stop smiling at each other, radiating happiness and love with every glance and gesture. It was a true honor to capture the start of this new chapter in their love story.

Photographing proposals is always a privilege, but some moments leave a lasting imprint — and this one certainly did. Congratulations to Vince and Katie on their engagement, and here’s to a lifetime of shared sunsets, laughter, and love.
