Brittni + Jeremy Step Into The Limelight | Crescent Beach | Sarasota, FL

An engagement session reminiscent of cherished memories and a love story deeply rooted in Gulf Coast nostalgia. Brittni + Jeremy’s shared history of Sarasota, growing up amidst family vacations in Captiva and Siesta Key, set the stage for a beautiful session location. Jeremy's family home in Sarasota right near the beautiful Siesta Beach where we took many of the photos, added another layer of significance. Opting for the picturesque beach for their wedding was a natural choice, as it held profound meaning for both.

Our Sarasota engagement session not only embraced the couple's history but also showcased the beauty of Siesta Beach. As dedicated Sarasota wedding/engagement photographers, we understand the importance of capturing these meaningful moments in places and ways that feel true to our couples.

Relive the magic of this Siesta Key engagement session through our lens… We are very much looking forward to continuing to tell Brittni + Jeremy’s love story in April when we photograph their big day! 🌅💍
