Chris & Kristi's FL Beach Session | March 26, 2019 | Florida Wedding Photographers | Belleair Beach, St. Petersburg, FL

Shortly before returning to Ohio from our month long work-vacation in St. Petersburg, FL, Donny & I had the privilege of photographing Chris + Kristi. On vacation themselves, they wanted to take advantage of the Florida sunshine and beach before Kristi was deployed for duty. Hoping to capture a few memories to help manage their time apart from one another, they decided to do a cute mini session on the beach at sunset. Madeira Beach was absolutely perfect and we couldn’t have asked for a better day! Enjoy these beautiful Florida beach sunset photos!

Ben + Angie's Florida Sunset Engagement Session at Fort De Soto Park in St. Petersburg, FL | March 10, 2019 | Tampa Wedding Photographers

Last weekend Donny & I had the privilege of photographing Ben + Angie in celebration of their engagement & upcoming wedding next year. We chose the beautiful Fort De Soto Park in St. Petersburg, FL as our location. This has quickly become one of our favorite spots to shoot on the gulf given the variety of settings offered, including the beach, pier, fort, a 19th century battery, and surrounding land. Donny & I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of this gorgeous sunset engagement session with such a lovely soon-to-be-married couple!

Mommy & Me Session | Lettuce Lake Park | Tampa, Florida Family Photographers

Meet Tracey and her adorable "mini me." :) We got to meet up for a Mommy & Me session at Lettuce Lake Park in Tampa, Florida a few weeks ago and I'm so glad we did! These two were such a joy to be around; I felt like they were old friends. We had a great time roaming through the paths, petting dogs (YAY to people who let me pet their dogs!!), swatting all the mosquitos (oh, Florida... #swampland), and soaking up the evening golden sunlight.

Alex + Becca's Engagement Session | Poland Municipal Forest | Poland, Ohio Engagement Photos | Youngstown Wedding Photographer

Alex and Becca are the kind of people you want to be friends with - that's the best way I can describe them! We met up on a frigid, snowy day at Poland Municipal Forest for a fun, nature-filled engagement session. They brought along their beautiful white husky, Hafis, their parents, and fresh coffee and creamer to share (which totally went a long way because we couldn't feel our fingers)! Poland woods quickly turned into one of my absolute favorite photography locations in the Youngstown area. It just has so many unique elements and lovely scenery!

Last month, my fiancé, Donny, and I went to visit some family members in Clearwater, Florida - our soon to be permanent home. In planning our trip, we set up photo sessions with couples and family living in the Tampa area. We were lucky enough to have Hoby + Kathryn in town during the same week! Capturing their love was an incredible experience, despite some unavoidable and uncontrollable obstacles that were thrown our way.

Joey + Kelly's Engagement Session | Christmas Tree Farm | New Castle, Pennsylvania Engagement Photos | Youngstown Ohio Wedding Photographer

Today I'm sharing some highlights from Joey and Kelly's Christmas tree farm engagement session before all of our snowy days in Ohio are officially over and spring sets in! :) I met up with these two lovebirds at their family's gorgeous tree farm in New Castle, Pennsylvania the morning of a fresh snowfall. The whole setting was so magical and snow even fell the entire time we took photos! I don't think we could have asked for a better day.
