This past Monday evening, I met up with Kevin & Laura at John U Lloyd State Park for their engagement session. When they mentioned including their boat (and later on, paddleboards too!), I started to really look forward to their engagement photographs. Kevin was a groomsmen in a past wedding I captured, this gorgeous New Years Eve sparkly wedding of his sister, and I love working with his wonderful family! :)
The forecast leading up to the evening looked a bit sketchy, but it couldn’t have been more off…it was bright & sunny most of the session, and never came close to raining during the photos. I loved everything about their shoot, & even ventured on the water myself…!


One of my favorites :):)



The exact spot where he proposed!! <3





Laura is from Long Island & it’s where they are getting married, whereas Kevin is one of the rare born & raised Floridians, so they wanted to include this photo in their session :)


Sperry’s photo that everyone knows from Pinterest :)


And then…I braved crossing the canal on a paddleboard with my camera – this photographer will do anything for an amazing photo!!



So worth it!!!

But someone did fall in…it wasn’t me though, so I’ll let you guess from there who did ;)





Laura’s dress is just gorgeous, like she is!


These beach ones are some more of my favorites…





Many more photos to come in your online gallery, Kevin & Laura! :)
Thank you so much for picking me as your engagement photographer, it was an honor & so much fun spending the evening with you both :):)
