It’s all about who you share it with ✨there’s something so magical about Lindquist in the early morning. Between dancing in the surf and lounging on the beach, I had the best time capturing these memories for Tammy & Joel.

Sometimes you need to break the camera out just for fun with the ghouls and throw a pumpkin on your head. Oh my gourd, what a fun time. Happy Halloween! 🎃 👻

Anniversary shoots are so special. I love to showcase the love that has withstood the test of time. Where you can giggle on the beach with your life bestie, reflect and celebrate every moment that has gotten you here. Happy Anniversary Christal & Bradley! 🤍

Where do I even start with this INCREDIBLE day?! Ryan contacted me weeks prior to this big moment and we planned out this engagement shoot, only for it to fall on the exact day we were expecting Tropical Storm Ernesto. Of course nerves were high and I had no idea if we would be able to make this happen as we were expecting rain earlier in the day. By 5pm we were expected to have heavy rain and strong winds, which is when we planned to meet. The plan was walk Taylor on the beach to Pretty Klip Point, pop the question followed by dinner at Sea Salt. As the day went on, all restaurants closed on the island and Sea Salt unfortunately cancelled their reservation. It was crunch time because we now have to get Taylor to this spot with a cancelled reservation. As you can see, we did not let that stop us. We decided we would play it by ear all day long and hope for the best and try to do it as close to the original time we planned to not spoil the surprise for Taylor. And by the grace of Mother Nature, we had 1 quick sunny beautiful hour just before the storm approached to make this happen. And I mean one last hour, as Ernesto started to make its strong appearance as soon as I got home from this shoot. It was about 3pm and I was on standby ready to jump in my car at any moment and head to Sapphire. When that sun came up I sent Ryan a text and he was able to get Sapphire just as that sun peaked out. Ryan was so excited to share this moment with Taylor and postponing was just not feeling like the right option… And she said Y E S! 💍 Taylor was totally surprised. I am so incredibly happy for this amazing couple! Their love and joy in this moment was so abundant. Congratulations to Ryan & Taylor again. You two were so incredible to work with and the hour we had shooting together was so much fun!! 🤍🤍

It’s no wonder Sapphire Beach is one of the most requested venues for a beach ceremony. These vibrant green palm trees creating a natural arch with the contrast of the azure blue waters makes this one of my top picks! Congratulations to Melissa & John. 💍🤍🌴🌊
