Danielle & Luke | Carnival | Naples Engagement Photography
This engagement photography session tops the list as one of our absolute faves. While we often compare our engagement shoots to being on a double date, this shoot was colorful, beautiful, and fun to boot. Danielle and Luke asked us for ideas as to the location and setting, even going out on a limb to say… “we really want to give you the opportunity to try something new.” Karl and I are happy to take suggestions but there’s nothing like a little creative license!
We met Danielle and Luke at the Collier County Fair which literally opened its doors for it’s opening day as we arrived. Talk about timing! The carnies were all super nice, offering us extra rounds of dart throwing and such. There was something about the sun setting and the rainbow of rides that gave us some amazing color and glow. Of course, none of the photos would be so beautiful if it weren’t for this cute couple, smiling away at each other the entire evening.
Laura and Nate | Naples & Fort Myers Engagement Photography
Laura and Nate were our sweet models for two different engagement shoots, first set in a lovely natural setting in Naples and then later in downtown Fort Myers. We can’t wait for their upcoming wedding at the Sidney & Berne Davis Art Center.
Allison & Christian | Naples Engagement Session
Karl recently found this amazing, forgotten, neglected park, not far from our own house. The trees are ginormous and the light streams through in a way that’s heavenly. The wild grass lends such a softness to the photos. Allison and Christian spent a couple hours with Karl taking advantage of the lush scenery. We’re looking forward to their upcoming wedding at the Naples Botanical Garden.
Lyndsey & Brian | Naples Engagement Photography
And now for something completely different. Lyndsey and Brian asked us to shoot their engagement photos in the “less pretty” part of Naples. After a bit of location scouting Karl came up with an abandoned lot that has a beauty of its own. How about the giant spools? We enjoy taking photos at the beach of course, but we are always up for new ideas!
Marquis & Andrew Engaged | Naples Engagement Photography
Marquis and Andrew had us take their engagement photos on 3rd Street in Old Naples. It’s always nice to have an excuse to stroll around the pier at sunset (not that we need one.) We’re looking forward to their October wedding at the Spanish Wells Golf & Country Club in Bonita Springs. Oh yeah don’t forget to check out their wedding fotovideo, wedding day pictures and day after session.
Kaliopi & Valanti | Sanibel Island Engagement Photographers
Karl and I quite like when we have a photo shoot on Sanibel Island. Sanibel and Captiva are our favorite spots in the area, a place where we spend birthdays and the rare free day. We’re really up for going anywhere when it comes to engagement sessions. All the better if the engaged couple has a personal connection to the spot, such as a first date or proposal site. And then there are the locations that have their own appeal: I’ve been wanting to do engagement photos in a citrus grove for ages. I think I’ll keep mentioning it on the blog until someone takes me up on it.
Kaliopi and Valanti met us near the Sanibel lighthouse, and from there we meandered about, snapping shots along the way. It was a very casual and relaxing setting… while their busy Greek wedding was another story, but fun nonetheless!
UPDATE: Check out Kaliopi & Valanti’s wedding pictures.
Lizzy & Nate Engaged | Naples Engagement Photography
Lizzy kept this shoot rolling with her infectious laughter… that’s all we really need of you engaged couples: a bit of good natured humor and a few kisses will get you lots of nice photos, as you’ll see here! Lizzy and Nate’s wedding at LaPlaya Beach & Golf Resort was equally charming, and we’ll share that shortly.
Ginny & Cameron Engaged | Naples Engagement Photographers
Ginny told us that she met Cameron in the music section at a Target. I can just picture Cameron chatting her up about the cd in her hand. I love the outcome of their engagement photos, taken on 3rd Street and by the Naples Pier. Cameron is always whispering something to make Ginny smile, and her smile is so pretty. Enjoy! Don’t forget to check out their wedding and their foto video.
Jenny & Matt Engaged | Naples Engagement Photographers
As you can see, Jenny and Matt are oh so adorable. We wandered Third Street in Old Naples for their engagement session, and all they had to do for us was be their sweet selves. Notice how they did a little “thanks” photo to use after their wedding. Engagement shoots are also a great time to create a fun save the date. Jenny and Matt’s wedding was just as fun to shoot… they even waded way out into the Gulf for us! We’ll post that soon.
