Tina + Joey Step Into The Limelight | Downtown St. Pete, FL

We had such an amazing time photographing this beautiful couple around the Museum of Fine Arts grounds in Downtown St Pete. Tina and Joey met about 3 years ago and have been inseparable ever since! They are both hard working individuals and love to stay active together. They will be saying their I-Do’s in August of 2020 at the Museum of Fine Arts St Pete and it will be spectacular, we simply can’t wait! Congratulations to this newly engaged couple!

Morgan + Ed Step Into The Limelight | Downtown St. Petersburg, FL

Oh Morgan & Ed, I just loved meeting them so much! Here’s a little story about this awesome couple!

They actually met at a party when Morgan was visiting a friend at Ed’s university. They hit it off, but they thought they would never see each other again because they were going to different schools. Turns out that 2 years later, Ed moved closer to Morgan’s hometown of Kansas City and that same friend Morgan was visiting invited both of them to a party again. And that time Ed was very quick to get Morgan’s number and ask her on a date! Also… ps that mutual friend is going to be their officiant! How special is that?! 

Ed proposed on their family vacation in July (2019) in Fort Lauderdale. Morgan’s sister was taking pictures of them by the water before they went to their dinner reservations which Morgan’s family claimed was to celebrate Morgan’s sister and dad’s birthdays that are in July. Ed got down on his knee right there on the beach and Morgan’s sister got all my surprised reactions on camera. 

Morgan loves that Ed is kind to everyone he meets and he is very funny. He has witty comebacks that just make her laugh. He’s very approachable and smiles often which is her favorite sight to see! Ed loves how cool Morgan is, they are always on the same page… and then stated  

They moved to Florida because the warm weather allows them to be outside year round and they both are happiest by the water. They enjoy going to the beach, kayaking, and riding our bikes. Also, they really enjoy drinking a nice cold beer and watching football games together! 

How can you not just love them?

Morgan & Ed… Congratulations on your engagement! You two make my heart very happy.

Linley + Bobby Step Into The Limelight | Fort De Soto Park | Tierra Verde, FL

We could not have asked for a better day to celebrate Linley + Bobby’s engagement with a portrait session! ☀️ Such a wonderful couple!!!!!!  It was such a pleasure photographing this session! We just adore this sweet couple. 🥰 And we loved meeting their doggie 🐶 Riley and Linley’s twin Ashley as well!❣️

Linley and Bobby met at a friends pool party and hit it off immediately. Bobby worked up the courage to text her the next day and make plans for their first date. They went to see a movie in the park that they paid no attention to because there were too busy getting to know each other so well! 

Bobby planned Linley's proposal by talking with her brother-in-law and getting the inside details about how to ask her parents. Bobby asked both of her parents the weekend after Thanksgiving and they were very supportive. Bobby purchased Linley’s engagement ring from Blue Nile and actually built the ring from scratch to match one that Linley liked. Bobby proposed to Linley in front of the Rockefeller Christmas tree on their first trip to New York for Christmas time! Linley was shocked and so happy to say YES! 

Congratulations 🎊 We can’t wait to photograph your wedding at Innisbrook, A Salamander Golf & Spa Resort!I

Erika + Wynn Step Into The Limelight | Downtown St. Petersburg

So much of Erika and Wynn’s love story is tied in to downtown St Pete! They had their first date at Red Mesa Cantina - we were able to even photograph them sitting at the exact same table! They spend many date nights at the local St Pete bars. And they were engaged in Straub Park, just beyond the Vinoy, and then headed to Red Mesa Cantina where friends and family met them to celebrate! They also will have their rehearsal dinner at Red Mesa Cantina, and their wedding will be held at the St Pete Museum of Fine Art. Wynn loves sailing and they both enjoy the water so we had to incorporate that in our session as well. 

Due to an unexpected cold snap, the couple each wore a different outfit than originally planned. However, it worked out GREAT and made it easy to capture good “cuddle” “lovey” pictures. Congratulations Erika and Wynn - we are so excited for your upcoming wedding!

Molly + Austin Step Into The Limelight | The Ringling | Sarasota, FL

These two! I just absolutely loved meeting them for their engagement session at The Ringling… they are planning their wedding all the way from Boston MA and are just enjoying each moment of it all!
They were visiting family for the holidays and decided to do their engagement while in town.
Two words for these two… calm and collected! They are so aware of their love for each other that they are just Molly & Austin together, they both are so comfortable and nothing is overdone. It’s simply and purely perfect… They will be getting married at Longboat Key Club in April of 2021 and I truly cannot wait to witness Molly walking towards Austin down the aisle… it’s going to be a memorable one!
