I just had to get this post up before Christmas since Natalie and Alex decided to incorporate the holiday into their engagement session. They are getting married in 2017 in Missouri but wanted to do their engagement session while they were both here for the holidays with Alex’s family. The University of Tampa was a PERFECT backdrop with all of the lights and wreaths and fun decor. I told these two at the end of their session that they will absolutely have stunning wedding pictures with all the laughter and emotion they bring out in one another. I will you both all the best and have a beautiful Christmas you two!

    I just love the feel of this destination wedding for Valerie and Charles. They were married on the beach just before sunset on a beautiful September day. The romantic gaze they kept casting towards one another was totally all them! The sand bar that appeared as the tide went out looked like a perfect Bar Harbor kind of wedding. I love anything that reminds me of Maine Weddings, specifically here where the tide going out reveals the sandbar for you to walk across, or play in. The light and soft hazy sunset glow was the icing on the cake, for me. “We know only too well that what we are doing is nothing more than a drop in the ocean. But if the drop were not…
