Enchanting winery, anniversary session. Heather & Ryan (Tampa bay wedding photography)

I often hear from couples "we haven't had out pictures done together since we were married....ten years ago!" What is an anniversary session? It is an engagement type session where you celebrate the love you still have for each other. That love with change and grow throughout the years and I try to encourage people to document that as much as possible. It's really a fun time to get together and make some authentic memories. There is no looming wedding, or stress about getting the save the date cards out...just you and your love, having a great time! For this session we were fortunate to use the private property of a local winery. The owners are from Sicily (like my family) and have been growing wine here locally for quite some time. I honestly felt like I was somewhere else and defiantly not in Florida. Heather and Ryan being of Italian decent as well, fit right in with the view. Even though we drove through rain on the way to the session, the sky stayed dry just for us (or that's what I want to believe.) I also had found a random swing on some property in the middle of no-where. I hope you enjoy these images.

Vanessa & Jhoan's engagement session....(St. Petersburg engagement photographer)

Vanessa met her hubby to be while he was playing in Indiana for the diamond backs as a catcher. Their very first picture together is actually them at a game he is playing at. They wanted a baseball themed engagement shoot since that is how they met :) They are a super adorable couple and I can't wait for their upcoming wedding in the Dominican Republic, in October!

Charlie & Beth's engagement session...( St. Petersburg wedding photographer)

Charlie & Beth will be getting married in Key Largo on Cinco De Mayo of next year. I am so excited to be shooting their wedding, which will be help at a private lighthouse on the water. It's picture perfect and I already have the shots flying through my head. They wanted a beach engagement session to go along with their Key Largo beach theme. Hope you enjoy some images from their session.
