I had never been to Rainbow Springs State Park, so when Jennifer suggested it as the location for their engagement shoot, I was excited to see a new place. Rainbow Springs did not disappoint! The springs were beautifully landscaped and you could look out at them from high up. The water was crystal clear and […]

I had an absolute blast with Alex & Megan out in New Smyrna Beach for their engagement session. So many things stood in our way too, but we prevailed! First was Hurricane Ian, causing us to reschedule due to damage along the coastline of New Smyrna. Then our reschedule date was threatening thunderstorms and hail. […]

From the first moment I met Kyle & Bethany, I knew we would be good friends. As I ask all my couples at their engagement session: ”Can I see the ring?” They both showed me the most gorgeous Legend of Zelda rings, and they each had one. I absolutely loved this so much (being the […]

One of my favorite venues is Mission Inn Resort. I’ve shot there a couple times now, and I absolutely love the venue. From the rolling greens to the Spanish architecture, Plaza de la Fontana at Mission Inn Resort doesn’t look like a typical Florida venue. They have a gorgeous lake, a stunning fountain, and a […]

A romantic elopement in the hidden treasure that is The Vineyard North, a real-life fairytale venue.
