Leah and Nicholas’ love story began across state lines, but distance couldn’t stop what was meant to be. From long drives between Massachusetts and Rhode Island to building their new life together in Florida, every chapter has brought them closer to forever.

We met for their engagement session at Longboat Key on a cool evening that couldn’t have been more perfect. The golden light, gentle breeze, and sparkling shoreline made every moment feel timeless. Watching the two of them laugh, dance, and simply enjoy being together was pure joy. We can’t wait to capture their wedding day tomorrow and continue telling their story!

Kelsey and Tod’s engagement session was the perfect mix of elegance and fun. We started among the historic arches at New College of Florida where soft light and a passing rain shower set a romantic tone. They laughed through every moment, turning the weather into part of the story.

As the skies cleared, we made our way to Longboat Key for sunset. The breeze, the waves, and the golden light created a dreamy finish to their day. Every smile and quiet glance showed how effortlessly they connect, and we can’t wait to capture their wedding this April.

On the final sunset of the year, we had the honor of capturing something truly special—Lauren and Keith’s engagement session on the peaceful shores of Longboat Key. Visiting from Ohio, the couple came to Florida not just for a beautiful photo session, but to support Ian’s recovery journey.

With the sun dipping low over the Gulf, the light painted everything in warm gold, and their connection lit up every frame. The love and resilience they brought with them made this more than just a beach session. It was personal, emotional, and unforgettable.

Their next stop? A wedding celebration later this year in Hilton Head, South Carolina, and we couldn’t be more excited for what’s ahead for these two.

Keeli and Shelby met us out on Beer Can Island today, exploring a beautiful beach right in their backyard! 🌴 We hope they enjoyed their time and come back again soon. 🏝️ It was such a fun session, and we can’t wait for their big day at Bakers Ranch next year! 💍✨

Jill and Christ’s love story began in childhood and blossomed into a beautiful romance when they reconnected. 🌟 Growing up in the Bradenton area, they took us to some hidden gems at Beer Can Island we’d never seen before. 🏝️ It was so special to see their love for each other in such a serene setting. We’re counting down the days to their big day in early 2023! 💍✨

We had an amazing time back at Longboat Key tonight for Aubrey and Blake’s engagement session! 🌴🌅 The couple was as stunning as the sunset over the water. 💖 We’re so excited for their big day at The Venue at Diamond C Ranch early next year! 🎉✨ Here’s to a beautiful future together! 🥂

Kari and Sam traveled from Knoxville to Bradenton to have their wedding among family. They came to Florida the week of the wedding so we could capture some pre-wedding photos.

We always recommend doing an engagement session with us for 3 reasons

1. it builds trust, seeing yourself in our photos before the wedding will allow you to trust us as we ask you to do various poses on the wedding day, without hesitation

2. it builds confidence, you get to see how you will look on your wedding day in our photos!

3. it builds habit, we may reuse certain poses and prompts on your wedding day from your engagement session, we can get into those poses quickly if we’ve done it before.

Erica and Elliot came from Tampa to enjoy the beaches of Longboat Key. Luck would have it, a thick fog rolled in as the session started! It was so thick that we almost lost our drone to the sea!

The weather didn’t stop them from displaying their affection on camera and we are excited to be their wedding photographer later this year!
