This styled shoot at The Bay Club at Westshore Yacht Club brought modern elegance to the waterfront. Brandi and David, one of our past couples whose engagement and wedding we also captured, made this session feel effortlessly natural. Working with them again was a joy and felt like a full-circle moment surrounded by soft sunlight, emerald tones, and golden details that made every photo timeless.

The collaboration between talented vendors brought the vision to life, blending classic and contemporary styles. From Shy Chic Boutique’s statement florals to the stunning gown by Bearer of the Bling Bridal and décor from Stella Rose Events, every detail shined. The mix of emerald, ivory, and ash wood created an unforgettable setting framed by the marina views and the relaxed comfort that made this shoot truly special.

Erika and Jorge came to Hillsborough River State Park on a golden October afternoon, and from the moment we arrived, the energy between them was impossible to miss. Erika wore a stunning royal blue sequin gown that caught every beam of light filtering through the trees, and Jorge couldn’t take his eyes off her. The park gave us everything we needed: wooden bridges over the river, forest paths wrapped in late afternoon sun, and eventually the kind of dusk that turns everything golden.

We spent time chasing the light through the trees, finding quiet corners of the park where it felt like it was just the two of them. Erika moved through every frame with confidence and elegance, and Jorge was steady and present beside her. Their chemistry wasn’t something we had to manufacture. It was just there.

As the sun dropped we brought out the fairy lights and the lantern, and the session ended the way the best ones do, with the two of them completely lost in each other while the light did the rest.

A few months later, on November 30, 2024, Erika and Jorge got married at Bakers Ranch in Parrish, Florida. If you want to see how their story continued, you can find their full wedding gallery and story right here: Erika and Jorge’s Moon and Stars Wedding at Bakers Ranch.

“SLAY”, “QUEEN”, “YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL”—just a few of the compliments Kim & Rich received during their downtown Tampa engagement session 🌆✨ These two aren’t just a power couple—they’ve also built their businesses together, supporting and investing in each other every step of the way 💼❤️ We couldn’t be more thrilled to capture their stunning connection!

There’s a special spark when a Florida native meets their match from out of state just ask Brittany & Zach ✨ Their love story led us on a gorgeous adventure through the University of Tampa where every moment was pure magic 🏛️❤️ We can’t wait to capture their big day soon 🎉

We’ve shot at University of Tampa a lot, it has beautiful grounds with good mix of water, architecture and greenery. However, we’ve never had a couple like Stephanie and Nolan who both graduated from UT! It was amazing to be given some hints, tips and history behind many of the spots at UT. Thanks for giving us the tour!
