Washington Oaks State Park Engagement Session

Sessions like these are really hard to come by because -one- ..you never know when the sunflowers will be in bloom, and -two- these flowers don't last that long and are harvested fairly quickly. We got really lucky. We initially planned to do the shoot around the parks in downtown Fayetteville, but thank you to a great fellow photographer and enthusiast, Stella Reynoso, I got to totally make my sunflower field photo come true!

Enjoy!

Scheduling a July engagement shoot around Jacksonville Florida is one tough cookie-- we really got lucky with the weather. Brooke and I kept on texting each other back and forth. The forecast stated 30% chance rain, 0% chance rain, 60% chance rain, and then again 30% chance rain. Who else checks the weather as meticulously as I do? Anyways, we took the chance and drove out to Palm Coast, FL, and we really got lucky-- oh, the power of prayer! It was hot, but it was really beautiful and sunny. Washington Oaks State Park and Beach is a big gem in a small location. Wished it was a little bit closer....

Anyways, these two are SO sweet, so kind, and so in love. I hope you enjoy the photos just as much as I enjoyed this session!

Marc and Leah got married under a tree at the Ribault Club on Fort George Island 10 years ago, and as part of their anniversary decided to take some new photos at this spectacular and historical location. They wanted to recreate some old images as well as create some new ones. It's quite memorable to walk through the location they tied their knot at, and to see the changes and improvements made at the location while we were walking through it.

Enjoy!
