St.Pete Yacht Club Engagement Session | Navy Style Engagement | Kat & Chris

---

This beautiful day happened thanks to one of my favourites Make up artist in St.Pete. Alexandra from Bella Ti Artistry. This bride to be ask her for some referrals and I am super happy that Kat decided to go with me as her wedding photographer!! Such a big honor!!!

But let me tell you more about these two!! They have a super romantic love story!! 

From the Bride :

Chris and I met at the gym where he worked as a trainer and fitness instructor. I've been going to Chris's group fitness class for several years. We've been friendly towards each other and a little flirtatious. Although Chris is an outgoing instructor and trainer he seemed timid and shy when talking to me and never built up the courage to ask me out. I took charge and asked him for his # and asked him out on a date and the rest is history! Our love for health and fitness brought us together and we workout and train together often bringing us closer. Chris and I also have a love for the beach, fishing, snorkeling and kayaking. We spend our days off together soaking up the sun doing the things we love doing the most. Chris proposed to me in the most romantic and adventurous setting - we went to Yosemite National park last May and we hiked up the famous Half Dome monolith- after climbing 400 vertical ftto reach 8,839ft, exhausted and out of breath Chris dropped down on one knee and "popped" the question! We planned to get married next year on the Starlight Sapphire yacht with a sunset ceremony.

Aren't They PERFECT!!! Take a look in this awesome and romantic engagement session at the Yacht Club in St.Pete.

Veronica loves the vintage style, so we planned something special for them , I talked with the people of the Aviation School in St.Pete to shoot their engagement session there, they were super nice about this idea and we met there early morning .

Veronica and John have been together for six years , they have a lovely relationship and both planned the wedding in Texas with both families who came all the way from Ecuador and other cities in US.

40's Inspired Engagement session | Chelsea + Jarrett

---

So, today is TBT and what else we can share if it is not something retro or vintage, right?? Well here we have an AWESOME and BEAUTIFUL 40's theme engagement session with one of our couples of this amazing 2016!!! 

Chelsea & Jarrett are a super sweet couple, they had super clear what kind of engagement session they wanted, so we plan this like one month before the shooting. We have to reschedule like twice the date because of Floridas weather, but the day we did the session it was beyond BEAUTIFUL!!! Perfect for the session !!! Here you can see some of our favourite pictures during this Vintage Engagement session.Their StoryWe met while we were in college in early 2011 and began dating later that year. Proposal: We had planned to go to St. Augustine for our 2 year anniversary in 2013, but I had some chronic health issues so we never ended up going. We again planned to go in 2014 (while I was in law school in Gainesville), but I had even more unresolved health issues (I ended up medically withdrawing from law school for this reason). I had surgery in January 2015 (Stage 3 endometriosis + ovarian cysts + appendectomy) and I was feeling so much better afterwards. So FINALLY, we decided 2015 we were DEFINITELY going to St Augustine for our anniversary. We went, had the BEST time. Just enjoyed eachother’s company on the 4 hour drive, checked out the sights, etc. Jarrett had planned a fancy meal for us but I didn’t feel like a fancy meal so we got our meals at a local vegan place, which ended up being delicious (bonus: it was only $25 including the tip). We had talked about going on a ghost tour and I had been bugging him ALL day about calling the ghost tour place and making sure we had reservations. Finally, after dinner he tells me he has a surprise for me and I’m excited thinking we’re going on a ghost tour and he tells me he booked a surprise horse and carriage ride through the historic city. (I admit I was a bit disappointed at first because I SO wanted to do that ghost tour LOL). So we go on that, and it was rather bumpy so I didn’t feel too great having just had dinner. Afterwards (after we had to walk to an ATM to get cash out to pay the carriage driver…they didn’t take cards, oops!) he asked if I wanted to go for a walk along the water, so I said sure. We were just having so much fun all day. He took me out to this secluded little dock area, and we were laughing about how windy it was and chatting and everything just felt right. I remember my jaw was hurting because I had been smiling so wide all day. He started saying some sweet things and when I turned around to look at him, he was getting down on one knee! I thought it was some kind of joke, until he said some more sweet stuff that I don’t remember and pulled a tissue out of his pocket and pulled the most perfect ring out of it. He proposed using my full name (which I had told him in the very beginning of our relationship he could never say unless he was asking me to marry him) and of course I accepted. Afterwards, I was hugging him on the dock and he said, “By the way, your dad says he would be honored to have me as a part of the family” and I totally lost it – started crying, etc. He knew how important it was to me that he ask my dad for my hand in marriage. He later admitted that he was terrified I would drop the ring on the dock and it would fall in the water (I’m clumsy like that) and we just laughed about it.?
