Downtown St. Petersburg Engagement Session with Nicole and Matt

Meet Nicole and Matt, from Illinois! Their wedding will be on the beach so we decided that downtown St. Petersburg would make the perfect unique backdrop for their engagement photos. With all the great spots downtown St. Pete has to offer it's hard decide just where to start and where to stop. This evening we used the grounds at The amazing Dali Museum, The Mahaffey Theatre, The St. Petersburg Museum of Fine Arts, and Stroub Park for these engagement photos.

I love photographing engagement sessions sometimes even more than the wedding…. wait… did I just say that out loud? Don't get me wrong, weddings are special and awesome fun but during the engagement session there is a lot of reading happening. Both by me and the couple in front of the camera. This is the time when we get to experiment a little and learn how to interpret one another. In most cases this is the first time you'll get to seriously spend time with your photographer without any other distractions around. It's not only time to take photos, but time to become comfortable with each other and the process of being photographed. There is chemistry involved and it's super important to me that I establish a great working dynamic with the couple so that I can see their chemistry together… That is the goal, it's MY goal. This is why I do engagement sessions, so that when I walk into your room as you are preparing for your wedding we've already established a connection. I don't want you to even see a camera when I take your portrait… just friends.

Nicole and Matt, you guys are rock stars and I cannot wait until we meet again at your wedding! Great job with your session and thank you for a great evening of capturing images together! Enjoy! :)
