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.
Nicole & Steve | Worden Farm | Fort Myers Engagement Photography
We had the chance to do an engagement session at Worden Farm in Punta Gorda with Steve and Nicole. The couple works in the restaurant business, so an organic farm is a fitting choice for them. We’re big fans too! Karl and I have been members of Worden Farm in past seasons and we frequent their stand at our farmers market. Steve and Nicole’s shoot included waiting out the rain in the convenient greenhouse, sunflowers, a cute calf, a rainbow, and big bunches of basil as take homes. Thanks so much to Worden Farm for hosting us! We’ll soon be posting Steve and Nicole’s wedding day photos at the Naples Botanical Gardens.
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!
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.
Alli & Alex Engaged | Naples Engagement Photographers
We were so glad to meet Alli and Alex in anticipation of their California country wedding. Accompanied by their ever-so-tiny chihuahua, we wandered 3rd Street in Old Naples, where little corners just beg to be photographed. The clouds threatened us for the whole shoot, but somehow the rain held off until the very end. Alli and Alex go to school together at the University of Florida. More recently we traveled to the San Francisco area for their backyard wedding, so we have more to share still!
Julie & Matt Engaged | Two-Part Session | Naples Engagement Photography
The camera loves Julie and Matt so much that we did a two part engagement session on 3rd Street: firstly in the rain, and secondly in the sunshine. We didn’t plan on a rainy day for our first shoot, but for some reason we were all up for the experience. We wrapped our cameras and flashes in plastic bags and dressed in ponchos and umbrellas. It wasn’t a pleasant rain… the temp was very chilly and at times the rain fell in sideways sheets. Julie and Matt were the best of sports. I think it’s funny that you can’t even tell it’s raining it some shots. It just looks romantic. And as a bonus, there was nobody around, which is very unusual if you know the Naples pier area. Our next shoot with the soon-to-be-wed couple provided a nice contrast to their first images. The setting sun cast a warm glow over Old Naples. We’ll post their wedding photos and their foto video, taken at the Pink Shell Beach Resort & Spa, soon.
