Carly, a physician's assistant, and Ryan, a former pro-triathlete love to be active in the sun. They spend their weekends on long cycle rides, at the beach, and boating. 

​

Their engagement session at Gasparilla Island State Park was scenic and serene. The incorporation of their beach cruisers added a darling personal touch. As an engagement photographer, my clients often rely on me for help conceptualizing their photo shoot. Whenever you are brainstorming engagement session concepts, it's always important to ask yourself what you and your partner enjoy doing in your recreational time. That's always a good starting point for location and prop ideas. 

​

The couple are getting married at St. Cecilia's Catholic Church in Naples, where the bride attended high school. Following their traditional ceremony, they will have an outdoor cocktail reception on the lawn at La Playa Resort followed by an indoor ballroom reception.
