Here are just a few of the photos we recently captured of Nicholl and Michael at their engagement shoot. We toured all over downtown Fort Myers for hours, capturing them interacting in a variety of different environments.  Our last stop of the day was at an adorable outdoor café- Nicholl and Michael are big “foodies”. In fact, we learned that their favorite things to enjoy together are cooking, their Cockapoo puppy “Bailey”, and good books. This is only part 1 of this couple’s engagement session. For part 2 we plan to incorporate more personal items in the pictures such as their dog and some favorite books.

We love photographing this couple several times before their wedding because each time we get to know them better. With each session, we have a deeper understanding of who they are as a couple and how they relate to the camera. This makes for incredible photography on their wedding day. Their wedding will be at the Ritz Carlton Beach Resort this fall and we look forward to all the events leading up to that day to capture and show off this couple’s love.

A recent Engagement Portrait shoot took us north to snowy New York to capture the love of Mike and Stephanie. The pictures are all taken in Stephanie’s hometown, Baldwinsville, NY. The couple owns a charming and cozy specialty bookstore so some of the photos used the bookstore as a backdrop as a way to incorporate what is special and symbolic to the couple. Some of the couples’ favorite “love” books were highlighted in the shots to let the personality of this dynamic duo shine through.

Mike is a fan of the cold weather (Brrrr!) and so we took our love fest outside and did some more pictures in the dazzling snow. The bundled up couple in a winter wonderland was quite romantic. This photogenic couple was creative, dynamic, and fun to shoot and were worth every moment of the frigid fingers!

Meet Stephanie. This woman is creativity personified, all the way down to her core. Not only is she highly involved in Community Theatre, but she also has degrees in theatre set and interior design. When she approached me wanting pictures to make unique wedding shower invites and thank you cards, I was delighted to help!

It will come as no surprise that Stephanie brought her very own props to her shoot to make it that much more personal, dramatic, and fun- three adorable pairs of rain boots along with a matching umbrella! We had such a fun time setting up shots and making them colorful and exciting. Thankfully, we did not experience any “showers” during the shoot but I’m convinced that Stephanie’s upcoming bridal shower will be a colorful, creative, and fun event just like the bride it centers around.

We met Lisa and Andrew at Lakes Park in Fort Myers to photograph Engagment Pics for their Save the Dates. They came bearing a big truck, cowboy boots and hats, and a Florida license plate sporting the words SAVE THE D8. Really?? How adorable is that?! It is so great when couples incorporate their personalities in their pictures – it really makes our jobs so much more fun!!

Lakes Park is such a great place for portraits because they have a variety of really pretty locations. They have really tall grassy areas, playgrounds, creeks, waterfountains, a wooden bridge, a train station etc. They sky is the limit!! And we utilized a lot of the property – poor Andrew was so ready to be DONE with pictures after the first half hour!! Good thing he didn’t know in advance what he was in for!

Lisa and Andrew – you were amazing!! We can’t wait for your wedding!!

Jessica and Matt were so much fun to work with – they were totally up for anything and it really shows in their portraits. We spent a couple of hours with them on Sanibel Island just kind-of touring properties for some cool locations. One of our favorite spots is the Sanibel Lighthouse on the south end of the island.

They also had their little boy with them – and he was a doll!! We stopped at an ice cream parlor for some little treats and that made for some fantastic portraits – AND livened the mood of our little 2 year old friend!!

Here is a sneak peek!! ENJOY!!

We shot Jackie and Allen’s engagement portraits at a park just outside of Punta Gorda, FL. Punta Gorda is a beautiful little community just north of Fort Myers. It was nice because we got to explore new locations and we had a ton of options to choose from. We started at a little park with cool benches, walked to the downtown area where we found some really great hardwood doors, and finally ended at the beach with the most amazing sunset – straight out of a fairytale! We love shooting engagment portraits – and Jackie and Allen were fabulous! Here is a sneak peek!!
