Engagements

My favorite engagement session locations around Tampa Bay, St. Pete, Sarasota and Lakeland, with the fee for each spot and real sessions to see.

Ashley and Bruce’s engagement photos with dog Hank on the Tampa Riverwalk, plus the Tampa Theatre, Le Méridien and the University of Tampa.

Torie and Eric’s Fort De Soto engagement session covered nearly every backdrop this park has, all in one summer evening in August 2023. We started on the quiet bay side in Torie’s red gown, then moved over to the Gulf for her sage green dress, the old fort ruins and golden hour in the dunes. […]

Haley and Jack had seen my Pass-a-Grille and Fort De Soto sessions and were leaning toward Fort De Soto for a beachy feel. They also wanted their black lab, Macy, in some of the photos. So we met at the park on a spring evening in 2026, and my teenage son came along to watch […]

Micheala and Ryan’s downtown St. Pete engagement session, from the bougainvillea pergolas in North Straub Park to the Museum of Fine Arts and a Lightning second look.

Janelle and Brandon’s St. Pete and Pass-a-Grille engagement session, from the bougainvillea pergolas downtown to golden hour on the beach.

When Frances sent me her mood board, it was all beach, palm trees and sunset, and Fort De Soto checks every one of those boxes. These Fort De Soto engagement photos are from a February evening in 2026, and they show just how many looks one park can give you. The one photo Frances asked […]

Katie and John’s University of Tampa engagement photos, plus Le Méridien, the Tampa Theatre and a walk along the Tampa Riverwalk.

Jordan and Eric’s Tampa Riverwalk engagement photos, with a dressy first look and a Tampa Bay Lightning second look along the river.

Amy and Eric’s Tampa Riverwalk engagement session, from Kiley Garden and the Curtis Hixon fountains to beach photos at Cypress Point Park.

Dana and Jamal’s Plant Park engagement session, from the Plant Museum veranda and the Plant Memorial Fountain to the Tampa Riverwalk.

Olivia and Evan’s Hyde Park engagement session in Tampa, starting under pink arches on Davis Islands and ending at Hyde Park Village.

I photograph engagement sessions at Bok Tower all the time, so this is my Bok Tower Gardens photoshoot guide: the nine spots I come back to, how each one looks in real light, and what to know before you go. The Gardens sit on Iron Mountain in Lake Wales, one of the highest points in […]

If a Ringling photoshoot is on your wish list, I completely understand! Between Ca’ d’Zan, the museum courtyard and those soft pink loggias, The Ringling in Sarasota packs a lot of beauty into one visit. I’ve photographed a few engagement sessions there (you can see three of them here), so here’s my guide to the […]

Not long after Felicia and Tom booked their wedding, Felicia asked me if I’d ever photographed an engagement session at The Ringling in Sarasota. Happily, the answer was yes! Below are three sessions from the Ringling, plus what to know before you book, so you can see why Ringling engagement photos are worth the drive […]
