“London is satisfied, Paris is resigned, but New York is always hopeful. Always it believes that something good is about to come off, and it must hurry to meet it.”~ Dorothy Parker

Megan and Ari met nearly 10 years ago, fell in love, and are excited to become husband and wife! This engagement shoot had a vouge, black and white aesthetic that caught movement with the streets and cars of downtown NYC. Darling photos were taken in the diner reminiscent of the couple’s favorite past time - restaurant hopping! Megan’s beautiful tie-back romper looked so elegant paired with Ari’s open collar black and white suit, creating the image of a fun couple out on the town.

Flash photography dazzled around Lauren and Anthony as they celebrated their engagement at the very place they met years ago. With a chic and classic feel to the engagement shoot, Hotel Bar made for a sexy and bold venue. As the Tampa Bay Times has said it is a “scene that seems pulled directly out of the downstairs bar of a swank hotel.” After, downtown Tampa created a cosmopolitan feel for this stylish couple in black and white. Then changing to neutral tones, the sun and water at the marina glowed with them and created stunning naturalistic photos of warmth and love.

I was PUMPED when Kallan sent me an email to work together while in their trip to Florida. Then, a few days later, they decided to book me for their trip in NYC, NY. We ended up planning and booking flights within 2 weeks. It was a really cool experience. I flew into Newark, NJ and then ubered over to Soho, NY for some vibey pics. We shot on 4 rolls of film and the results are outstanding. Take a look for yourself!!

Ok, so if you are a fan of my work and have been following me a while… you may recognize these two! Kayla and Tanner are onto their SECOND engagement session. Kayla decided to go in for a round two, for her birthday gift... plus she had all these cool clothing and accessories to use. Kayla really has it in her to bring on the boujee trends. She has a true respect for beautiful photography + high end clothing and accessories she finds on pinterest.

Vouge, editorial, sexy, timeless, and Old Hollywood all describe this engagement session for Brianna and Jason. The session included tall downtown shots of the couple in a rainy street, creating a real Hollywood movie feel. Brianna held white baby’s breath and roses in her bouquet which complimented the feathered trim of her slim and silky white dress. Jason looked like a classic movie star in his black and white suit and sunglasses. Intimate photos were taken inside Casa Monica where you can really feel the mood of the shoot and the passionate love they have for each other.

Meet Kaitlyn and Parker 🔥I had so much fun in Tampa seeing their EXTREMELY beautiful home, meeting their 3 fuzzy puppies and just the whole evening getting to know them -- was a vibe. They also had their awesome momma bring her pretty sweet whip. Here I am showing the Tampa, Florida city shoot. We started off on the ground of the garage, and then went up to the rooftop. It was amazing!!!! They are both inspired by old-hollywood vibes and I AM HERE FOR IT!!Slide through and check it out!

Izzie + Daniel caught on film. We strolled the streets for their entire engagement session. Izzie had a dream to capture their love, old hollywood style and I was so here for it. If you know me, you know this is my jam. I also had so much fun using my two film cameras. Below, you will see a mix on 35mm KODAK film and digital. It was the perfect day!
