the love shoot

I've had the pleasure of knowing Alicia for well over six years now.  She and Joe are getting married in the Florida Keys this month, so we got together last week for a little engagement shoot before they leave!  Since she and Joe are getting married on the water, we thought it only fitting to shoot on the beach this day.  Here are a few of my favorites from their session! warm

A little lensbaby fun...

I've always wanted to try that infamous "ring shot" but darnit, I never get the chance.  LOL!  So there's my version!  They were leaning up against the railing at Sloppy Joe's, which is where, I found out until the end of the session, they met and he later proposed!  (A different location, but still.  How coincidental that we'd run up on a Sloppy Joe's during our romp at the beach!)

And y'all know me... I'm addicted to warm, hazy images full of sunflare, sunburst and haze.  So even on this very cloudy evening, we all three waited for the sun to drop just barely under a gigantic cloud, before it sank behind another cloud to disappear for the night.  We had about two minutes, max, to get them in place and get our shot!  And ahhh, it was worth it.  :)

yay for haze

Alicia and Joe, I hope you enjoyed the sneak peek, and can't wait to see you when you get back!!  :)
