Mattina & Colby | Upham Beach Engagement Session
Mattina and Colby brought the kind of laughter that makes a photographer’s job way too easy. Their Upham Beach engagement session in St. Pete Beach was full of sandy toes, inside jokes, and a sunset that completely stole the show.
Upham Beach gave us its best: soft white sand, gentle Gulf waves, sea oats dancing in the breeze, and those iconic rock formations that add just the right amount of drama. Mattina and Colby fit right in, wandering along the shore and laughing every time we turned the camera their way.
Golden Hour, But Make It Fun
As the sun dipped toward the water, the sky lit up in shades of gold, peach, and pink. Mattina and Colby soaked in every minute of it—walking hand in hand, stealing kisses, and giggling like nobody was watching.
Every prompt turned into a new round of laughter. Colby would crack a joke, Mattina would dissolve into giggles, and suddenly we had a dozen candid moments we could not wait to share. Their playful connection made the entire session feel like a date night on the beach.
Rocks, Waves & Endless Smiles
We spent time among Upham Beach’s signature rocks, where the textured shoreline made the perfect backdrop for their portraits. With waves rolling in behind them and the sunset glowing over the Gulf, Mattina and Colby looked completely smitten—and completely themselves.
Their gallery is filled with the good stuff: big laughs, sweet embraces, windswept hair, and that unmistakable newly engaged glow.
Mattina and Colby, thank you for bringing so much joy to the beach with us. We had the best time celebrating this exciting season with you!
