Located in the heart of Florida’s paradise coast, Naples Beach is a little slice of heaven here on earth and a dream setting for engagement sessions! With its sugar-white sand and gorgeous palm-lined coast, it provides an absolutely breathtaking backdrop for portraits.  To say that we were excited to photograph Julia and Cooper’s session in Naples is an understatement.  From the moment they reached out, we couldn’t wait to connect!  We started out the evening in the canals, capturing photos among the trees and along the docks.  The combination of boats with the beach is literally our favorite as both settings create the perfect pairing of a classic nautical vibe with dreamy tropical romance. 

Julia and Cooper are the sweetest couple, and we had the best time chatting throughout their session!  They met through friends in college, enjoy golfing and exploring the beauty of the great outdoors, and recently travelled to Montana together. They are two of the kindest people you will ever meet, and their stunning smiles radiate pure joy!  The love they have for each other is absolutely beautiful, and capturing their romantic, intimate, and timeless images was so much fun!

As the sun began to set, we transitioned to the beach.  We ended up with the most dreamy soft evening light as they finished out their session in the water with the waves gently rolling in. The sky, with its breathtaking pastel hues, created a setting that was nothing short of perfection for documenting the beauty of their love story.  We had the best time together and are already counting down the days until we can connect again at their wedding!  Julia and Cooper will host their family and friends at The Ritz-Carlton, and we have no doubt their day will be incredible from start to finish!
