Rachel + Benny Step Into The Limelight | Fort De Soto Park | St Petersburg, FL

Rachel + Benny met through mutual friends while living in Connecticut. They hit it off, yet Benny would always joke about the ’10 year plan.’ BUT after only 5 years…he knew that he needed Rachel to be his forever. Benny waited for their Connecticut trip to pop the question to Rachel and on Christmas day while they were surrounded by their friends and family, Benny asked Rachel to marry him. 

Congratulations on your engagement Rachel + Benny, I can’t wait for your New England infused winter wedding next year at the Opal Sands Resort!

Lisa + Ryan Step Into The Limelight | Downtown Tampa, FL

We enjoyed a gorgeous evening in downtown Tampa with perfect weather and the most genuine, humble, down-to-earth, sweet and fun couple! Truly a delight working together to create these portraits. 

Lisa is a Tampa native and Ryan hails from Michigan. They have been dating seven years and Ryan proposed on Christmas this past year. Lisa is an attorney and Ryan works out in the oil fields. Although they both have very intense careers that they are dedicated to, they both LOVE vacationing together! They especially enjoy tropical cruises - so it was only fitting to capture the sunset during their session! Congratulations Lisa and Ryan we cannot wait for your wedding this fall!

Lee + Nicholas Step Into The Limelight | Twin Dolphin Marina | Pier 22 | Bradenton Riverwalk

Lee + Nick met by coincidence at a party and hit it off. At the beginning of their courtship they had a long distance relationship and then finally decided that they wanted to live together. From there, the relationship blossomed and one day while they were up in the mountains of North Carolina surrounded by their family, Nick proposed to Lee.

One of their favorite things to do together is to spend quality time out on their boat. This was the inspiration for their engagement session. 

In February of 2020, Lee + Nick are set to be married at Laurel Oak Country Club. I am so excited to watch this wonderful couple say I do!

Congratulations on your engagement Lee + Nick!
