Destination engagement sessions are definitely some of our favorites to photograph! There is something about capturing love stories surrounded by the beauty of Southwest Florida’s most breathtaking beaches that makes documenting this sweet season of life all the more magical.  Brynn and Jay had travelled down to spend time with family in Marco Island, and we were beyond excited to connect with them during their stay!  The first time we had met Brynn was at her sister’s wedding, and we had the best time capturing the joy of her beautiful family as they celebrated together!  

We knew Naples would be the perfect setting for Brynn and Jay’s engagement photos, and we met on the most gorgeous spring evening and set off to explore the nearby shops for portraits before heading to the beach.  These two are the absolute sweetest together, and we talked and laughed throughout the entire evening!  Jay had proposed to Brynn on a cold winter day, and the two will tie the knot this coming fall.  We are so excited for them as they plan their big day, and have no doubt it will be every bit as breathtaking as their engagement session was!

Following their session, we were blown away when Brynn reached out by email saying: “We absolutely love Shane’s ability to direct and pose couples so naturally — his guidance really helps photos feel effortless while also keeping everything moving smoothly throughout the day. That balance is exactly what we’re hoping for in our photographer.”  We are incredibly grateful for her kind words, and serving couples in such an exciting season of life is truly a gift!  Documenting love stories on the beaches of sunny Southwest Florida has been an honor, and connecting with couples like Brynn and Jay has been an absolute joy!
