Florida wedding photographers often get asked to do beach engagement shoots... and I'll be honest, Florida beaches are not my favorite shoot locations. However, the most important thing to me is capturing who the couple really is... their shared interests, their combined personalities, their love. And if it just so happens that the beach is the best place to tell this story, then so be it! On this particular occasion, no other location could have been more perfect! 

Steph had warned me prior to the shoot that there would probably be a need to include some wine at some point to lighten the mood, haha. What a great idea! In the end, the shoot evolved so organically that wine or no wine, the natural chemistry between Steph and Paul was pure magic, and I was merely there to document them at this most special time in their lives! Congrats to Steph and Paul on their engagement, and I can't wait for their wedding at the Ancient Spanish Monastery.
