Heather + Chris Engaged!

It was a mild Florida day, to be fair, it was probably much colder than a native Floridian is used to... (I LOVED it!) Heather and Chris were champions as they went from location to location and splashed in the Ocean for a while! I was so excited to do the session at places that were meaningful to them. I truly believe that it is very important to pick a location that has personal significance.

As we were gearing up for the session it was wonderful to hear about her history with the church we were at, and how he used to play football! They have many different interests and are so supportive of one another, it is just the type of strength and love one can't get enough of!

Heather and Chris made my day, I couldn't have spent it with a better couple! It was so much fun to see them twirling around in the water, throwing footballs, and stealing kisses. I was so full of energy after the session (not to mention soaked and sandy from the beach) that when I got home I had to go steal some kisses from my dearest loving husband myself! I just couldn't help myself! What can I say, my couples are that inspiring! :~)

Kim + Kevin Engaged!

From the first moment I met Kim and Kevin, I knew they were going to be so FUN to work with! First of all, they came together from a distance, have a great love for one another, and for LIFE and you can just tell it was meant to be. Second, Kim has such an outgoing and lovable personality and Kevin is so laid back and, well, just look at how he looks at her, it's just too romantic!

I had such a fantastic time at the park with them, we couldn't have asked for better weather! The sun was setting, it was a lovely day at the beach, and we set out exploring, scouting for different locations at the park to take our shots. We even saw two brides on the beach getting married! What a great foreshadowing event, I can't wait to attend Kim and Kevin's beach wedding in April! They were such great sports with me bouncing around the beach like a kid at a candy store - let's go over there for a shot, now let's find some stairs, oh a cool wood door, hey some trees! Lol - I LOVE my couples, especially when they are as easygoing as Kim and Kevin!

 

Carie + Clyde Engaged!

Carie and Clyde met at work and their love has grown since day one. Spend just five minutes with them and you can just tell. You know when you look at a couple and you can see they are one of those couples that will be flirting with one another until the day they part this earth... The couple that will make it through thick and thin, that share many things, but also have their own unique qualities and know that it is just as important to have time for yourself as it is to have time together... Those are the couples that last, that we all hope to be ourselves. That is Carie and Clyde, and I had a blast at their engagement session!

It rained, no, that is an understatement, it was a flood in the making. When I arrived in Orange Park, there was a storm fast approaching. That storm quickly came and it evolved into what one thinks a monsoon starts as... Rain was coming down so fast and furious I was sure we were done for the day - and we hadn't even started yet! But something told me to hold out a bit - and sure enough, we went on with the day as planned, with a little detour, and we managed to have the beach all to ourselves - well almost. It was a beautiful day and I couldn't have asked for a better couple to spend it with! And I'll tell you a secret, they are just as cute together in real life (and a ton of fun) as they seem in these pictures!
