Courtney & CJ chose a place that meant so much to them—the same beach house they had booked for their wedding in Port St. Joe. With CJ stationed at Tyndall AFB nearby, this spot was the perfect backdrop for their engagement session. From splashing in the waves to running along the shore, their session was filled with laughter, love, and the kind of joy that makes photographing couples like them so special.

Joshua had the perfect plan to surprise Audrey with a proposal at Fort Morgan State Historic Park, and I was lucky enough to capture every moment. As they explored the historic fort, Audrey had no idea what was coming—until Joshua got down on one knee. Her reaction was pure joy, filled with happy tears and an immediate yes!

After the big moment, we wandered around the park for some portraits, capturing their excitement against the backdrop of the fort’s old brick archways and sweeping coastal views. The love and happiness between them were undeniable, making this session one to remember.

When Jeff and Theresa booked their engagement session at Tarkiln Bayou Preserve, we didn’t expect rain—but instead of postponing, they embraced it. The misty drizzle turned the session into something straight out of a romance movie, with soft light filtering through the trees and raindrops glistening on the boardwalk. They laughed, held each other close, and made the most of every moment, proving that sometimes the unexpected makes for the most beautiful memories.
