What happens when you plan an engagement session with a bride who only lives about 5 miles from you? You choose a location 4 hours away at the beach, of course!
When I made the decision to run an engagement session giveaway back in January, I was excited and a little nervous. I wasn’t sure that anyone would enter, but of course I worried for nothing. I had such an amazing response & so many brides shared their incredible engagement stories with me. I was completely impressed with how creative their fiances’ were with their proposals & I was glad that I had decided to choose the winner by a random drawing rather than by choosing the best story because I would’ve had a tough time choosing! However, when I read Brooke’s story of how Michael proposed, I knew that if I had been choosing, I probably would’ve chosen them. She injected so much personality into her tale that I knew we would be BFF’s 😉 Not to mention the fact that their propsal took place on the beach & I’m basically OBSESSED with the beach, so when I drew their names out of the bowl, I was thrilled & immediately had visions of a romantic beach engagement session.
So, I met with Brooke a few weeks later to talk about their session & I shared my crazy idea with her. She was instantly on board! We both have a deep love for the salty air, sand & surf so we were a match made in photography heaven. Our schedules worked out perfectly so that she & Michael were available to make the trip down during a time that I was going to be there visiting my mom anyway.
We met in my very favorite town in the world, Seaside, FL. It was a crazy windy day and a little bit chilly for a day in May, but it was gorgeous. I love working with couples who click with my personality & who are so clearly in love. It makes my job so amazing. Brooke & Michael are that couple. We hit it off immediately, bonding over our love for all things beachy & once our session began, it was clear that they are perfect for each other.
Brooke & Michael, I can’t thank you enough for going along with my crazy plan for your session. It was perfect & I loved every minute of hanging out with y’all!!
