Caitlin and Nate are such an amazing couple, and we were so grateful for their kind words from the moment they reached out to inquire about a destination engagement session.  We were thrilled when we learned that they had emailed to book just one week after Nate proposed in New York City, and we couldn’t wait to connect with them in sunny, Southwest Florida!  The two were planning on traveling south to spend some time with family in Naples, and requested Pelican Bay Beach for their session.  The beach was stunning with sugar white sand and palm trees along the boardwalks, and the warm breeze and colorful sky made for an absolutely breathtaking setting for photos!

Meeting Caitlin, Nate, and their family was a complete joy!  From the minute we arrived, everyone was incredibly gracious, and it was truly an honor to photograph their session.  We began portraits along the boardwalks surrounded by palms before taking the shuttle out to the sand.  These two are such a beautiful couple, and their outfits coordinated perfectly with every backdrop.  Caitlin looked gorgeous with hair and makeup by May Paulina, and we absolutely loved her sweater which came in handy as the sun went down.  Caitlin and Nate stayed cozy as they explored the beach together, and it was so much fun capturing their chemistry!

We finished out their session with a few photos of their champagne toast, and had the best time documenting this season of celebrating life as fiancé’s! We are beyond excited for these two as they continue to plan their wedding, and we have no doubt every detail will be incredible from start to finish!  They will host their big day in New York, and we wish them nothing but the very best as they celebrate together with family and friends!
