Taylor + Robert | Punta Gorda Engagement Session
When I tell you that Taylor & Robert are the most amazing couple… I mean… you’ll see all the joy in these photos!! Their stunning Punta Gorda Engagement Session was so freakin’ special. I loved hanging out with them for the evening!
There is just something about beach engagement photo shoots that I love as a Florida wedding photographer. Consider it a perk of the job? I get to hang out at the beach with cool people and take pictures. SIGN ME UP. And we have soooo many beautiful beaches! From Gasparilla Island to Sanibel Island to Punta Gorda… and so, so many more. I’ll never get tired of the salt air, foamy waters and stunning sunsets.
Taylor and Robert came to me for their Punta Gorda Engagement Session, and we decided to start off the session away from the beach. I love shooting at a lighthouse, because it sets the tone for the location while also adding variety to their gallery. It also allowed us to seamlessly switch outfits half way through the session.
Taylor’s first outfit was a baby blue silk slip dress, which Robert perfectly complemented with his white button down tee. I always recommend dressing the bride FIRST for photo sessions, and letting the groom’s outfits play supporting actor. And Taylor’s outfits definitely stood out! She wore diamond earrings with the blue dress, and the whole look just gave a hint to “something blue” while also staying bridal.
Her second outfit was more directly bride-vibes, with a cut-out white dress. Robert wore a blue and white striped shirt- and it was the perfect combo. I loved the white dress against the blue ocean hues. If you are a blonde bride, this is the perfffecct look (okay, actually for EVERYONE haha)
A giant storm rolled in right when we got to the beach. And while that sometimes gives us a bit of a time crunch to shoot before the rain starts, it also gives us the most epic clouds and moodiness in the images. I’m always a fan of a good storm at our beach sessions.
Taylor and Robert, thank you for trusting me with your Punta Gorda engagement session. I am so excited for you two. Congrats again!!
