The wind blew along the Florida coast. The sunlit leaves swayed back and forth. Marissa tightened her grip on Cooper’s leash during her dreamy St Petersburg engagement session. She smiled at John. This was it. This little family that they had built was all she wanted. And soon, she would be able to call John her husband. She had waited to long to do that. But, she would wait patiently for the next few months. Enjoying every second of their engagement. Because he was worth it. Because they had their whole lives ahead of them.
“This was it. This little family that they had built was all she wanted.”
Marissa and John’s engagement session was just as the title suggests… dreamy. We started their session with the oak trees in Phillippe Park. And, friends, it was gorgeous! The sun pouring through the leaves gave so much light and movement to their images! From there we went to downtown St. Petersburg and found some gorgeous spots! The white stone, the twinkle lights, and… let’s be honest… John and Marissa’s amazing outfit! It was just perfect!
Marissa and John,
Gah, you two! I can’t believe your wedding is less that 6 months away! I am so ready to celebrate with you as you pledge your love to one another! Your engagement session was so much fun (because you two are just too sweet!), so I know your wedding will be amazing! <3 Here’s to the next 5 months of excitement!!
