Engagement Session at the Park: Squirrels, Style, and a Surprise Headbutt

Some engagement sessions are pure magic. Others are magic with a side of chaos and comedy and those are our absolute favorites.

I met up with this amazing couple (and their four-legged third wheel) at a beautiful park here in Florida. It was one of those rare afternoons that makes you forget it’s technically still “sweating season.” The sky was moody and overcast, which gave us perfect soft light, and the temperature was shockingly pleasant for this time of year. A true Florida miracle, no bugs, no melting, just vibes.

Now, let’s talk about the real star of the session: the dog. Not only was he wearing a matching bandana (yes, fashion matters), but he was also completely and utterly hypnotized by squirrels. I’m talking full-on, cartoon-style obsession. Every. Single. Time. One scampered by, his eyes locked in like a furry heat-seeking missile. We had to pause more than once to let him come down from the excitement. Honestly, I think he was having the time of his life.

The couple? Equally delightful. They brought multiple outfits, and the bride-to-be looked stunning in every one. Each look matched not only the groom-to-be but also I kid you not their dog’s bandana. That’s next-level coordination, people.

Now, let’s talk about the moment. Mid-session, while we were walking toward a new spot, the groom took a serious hit to the head on a low-hanging branch. It was one of those heart-stopping accidents that make everyone freeze. We all laughed at first, those nervous, panicked laughs because it looked like something out of a sitcom. But then we realized: ouch.He was clearly in real pain, and honestly, probably seeing stars. Despite that, he pulled it together and kept going, without a single complaint. Total trooper.

These two were just so natural, sweet, and fun to photograph. You can feel how much they adore each other and how much fun they have together. We wrapped up the session with golden light sneaking through the clouds, a few more dramatic squirrel sightings, and a very happy pup who definitely thinks he was the main character (he wasn’t wrong).

To this beautiful couple: thank you for the laughs, the love, and the reminder that the best sessions are the ones where everyone, dog included, just has fun.

Love in the Florida Heat: Isabella & Jorge’s Twilight Engagement at The University of Tampa 🌇

When it’s hot, humid, and Florida’s summer is in full swing, there’s one thing we know for sure—twilight is the magic hour. ✨

We recently had the absolute pleasure of photographing Isabella & Jorge’s Tampa engagement session at one of the most iconic spots in the city—The University of Tampa. As the sun dipped low behind the Moorish minarets and cast a golden glow over the Hillsborough River, these two lovebirds lit up every frame.

Yes, we were drenched in sweat (🥵), but also in joy, because moments like these—real, raw, beautiful—are exactly why we do what we do. 💛

A Session Full of Romance and Realness

Isabella and Jorge are the real deal. Sweet, grounded, and madly in love. They laughed through the heat, held each other close, and made even the steamiest Florida evening feel like a breeze. The University of Tampa was the perfect backdrop—lush gardens, striking architecture, and the quiet charm of downtown just steps away.

This twilight session gave us soft, glowing light, a cooler breeze, and the romantic ambiance that only Florida summer nights can deliver. As one of the University of Tampa preferred vendors, we know all the best angles and secret spots to make your engagement photos look dreamy—even when the weather is anything but.

A Dreamy Engagement Session in the Park

Engagement sessions in the park have a special kind of magic. The fresh air, natural beauty, and peaceful surroundings create the perfect atmosphere for capturing love in its most genuine form. This session was no exception  filled with laughter, quiet moments, and a whole lot of heart.

The afternoon light was soft and golden, filtering through the trees and adding a warm glow to every frame. Birds chirped in the distance, the breeze moved gently through the leaves, and everything about the setting felt calm and romantic exactly what an engagement shoot should be.

We wandered through open fields, tree-lined paths, and quiet spots near the water, letting the natural landscape frame the story. Whether sitting on a blanket in the grass or walking hand in hand down a winding trail, every moment felt effortless and true to their connection.

What stood out the most was the joy between them the way they looked at each other, the way they laughed, and the ease of simply being together. These are the kinds of moments that make engagement sessions so meaningful real, unscripted, and full of emotion.

If you're planning an engagement session, don't underestimate the charm of a local park. Sometimes, the simplest locations provide the most meaningful images filled with connection, beauty, and the kind of magic that only nature can offer.
