I had the absolute joy of photographing D and M’s engagement session in gorgeous San Diego, California, and let me tell you—it was a total dream! These two are such dear friends. We first met a few years ago in Florida, and even though life has taken us to different corners of the country—me in New Mexico and them soaking up the sun in Southern California—we’ve stayed close. That made this session feel even more special! We’d been chatting about doing their engagement photos for a while, and this end-of-summer trip was the perfect chance to make it happen.

Springtime along 30-A in Florida is always magical, and it was the perfect setting for Kisaac and Kaetlyn’s engagement photos back in March. We met up for their session at a small town along 30-A and finished up at Grayton Beach State Park just as the sun was setting, giving us the best golden hour vibes!

Springtime in Florida is always magical, but it was even more special for M and A as they celebrated their engagement with a heartwarming photoshoot along 30-A. This couple, who met in the ninth grade in their freshman building before high school, chose the picturesque locales of Watercolor and Grayton Beach for their engagement photos. And, to make the occasion even sweeter, their beloved dog E joined in the fun!

In the tranquil embrace of the blue hour, I had the absolute joy of hanging out with C + A, who are getting married at the Emerald Grand this September!

As the golden sun dipped below the horizon, B and J found themselves on the sandy shores of the Florida Panhandle, surrounded by the Gulf breeze. With their companion C leading the way on the nature trail, we began their evening beach session, commemorating the beautiful memories they’ve built since they moved into the area in 2021.

I recently had the pleasure of capturing M and K’s love story amidst the stunning backdrop of Grayton Beach State Park, and let me tell you, it was nothing short of a blast!

Beneath the warm hues of a Destin sunset, I had the incredible privilege of capturing a love story that began in the hallways of their middle school during 7th grade. J + L’s journey from classmates to soulmates brought them to the picturesque jetties for a breathtaking engagement session! As the sun painted the sky with its golden brushstrokes, their love and affection for each other radiated. A beautiful chapter in a story that started long ago, now being etched against the backdrop of a setting sun and endless horizons.

F just pulled off the ultimate swoon-worthy move! Picture this: F and V, after getting their pups out of the truck, stroll into the nature trail with their adorable new fur ball (who V had gone to pick up that week in New York), all excited for their photoshoot to showcase the newest addition to their family. Little did V know, F had a sneaky plan up his sleeve. As they stood back to back with the pups, Forest dropped down on one knee and popped the big question! Cue the happy tears and the “OMG, is this for real?!” expressions. After the “yes” and a gazillion happy hugs and kisses, we headed to the beach just as the sky was turning that magical shades of blues, pinks and oranges. Running around hand in hand, we celebrated against the backdrop of the ocean and the sky before they headed off to dinner with friends that were awaiting to congratulate them!

As the golden hour approached, casting its ethereal glow on Okaloosa Island, C and F stepped onto the sandy shores hand in hand. With the ocean breeze tousling their hair and the waves whispering sweet melodies, they were enveloped in an atmosphere that seemed to exist only for them.

As the fall breeze finally swept through, C, A + I spent time on the quiet beaches of Destin running around and exploring. Their journey began when they encountered each other at an out-of-state church weekend some years ago.
