A Summer Engagement Session at Philippe Park

When I first received Adria’s inquiry about being her wedding photographer, she was so stinking sweet and I was SUPER excited! I could tell we were going to hit it off from the very beginning – which is always one of the best feelings. Adria was the maid of honor for one of my past brides Emily! I LOVE when I get to photograph weddings for brides that were bridesmaids in some of my past weddings!

We originally scheduled their session in May, but we were getting crazy, unpredictable rain and unfortunately had to reschedule. No surprise for a summer, Florida session! And it just makes me that much more stoked to photograph their session when we are blessed with a beautiful evening!

Adria and Jason wanted greenery and some water for their location and Safety Harbor has all of that and more! We met at one of my favorite parks, full of the brightest green and started there! For the second half of the session, our plan was to go a little more mid-town and use these adorable boat docks, but apparently Safety Harbor has a “third Friday” that is popular (I on the other hand have never heard of it) and we couldn’t get parking ANYWHERE! Finally, I parked it in a handicap spot and they got an open spot and we jumped out for less than 5 minutes and shot what would have been 20 minutes of pictures for the last bit of golden hour. They are now pros if we only have 10 minutes for portraits on their wedding day 😉

I love chatting with my couples at their engagement sessions about what they have done, left to do, and their visions for their ‘Best Day Ever’ and I am SO excited for their wedding next March!
