You just can’t beat being an engagement photographer in Melbourne Florida because you get the best of both worlds. \u00a0On one hand you can shoot at the beach all year long and get the beautiful blue skies and crashing waves. \u00a0On the other hand you can go down to the river and see some of the most gorgeous\u00a0sunsets you have ever seen! \u00a0The only thing that would make it better is by adding a beautiful couple right in the middle. \u00a0I usually try to start the engagement sessions later in the afternoons over on the beach. \u00a0Usually, the crowds have already gone home and the sun is still bright and the skies are still rich in color. \u00a0The session is designed to\u00a0be fun and stress free,\u00a0where they can\u00a0be themselves with the one they love most. \u00a0I like\u00a0to show off their personalities a bit and help create memories that they won’t forget. \u00a0As the session goes on we eventually get into\u00a0the golden hour where I like to play with the light in order to get some unique effects, such as backlighting the couple and making them glow. \u00a0Eventually, before the sun goes down, we pack up\u00a0and head over to the river so that we can catch the sunset. \u00a0Over there, we will shoot\u00a0until we are all\u00a0bit up by mosquitos\u00a0or\u00a0it becomes too dark. \u00a0Below is a sneak peek of some of my favorites so far from Melissa and Jake’s engagement session just the other day! \u00a0They were an awesome couple to work with! \u00a0However at first, I could tell Jake wasn’t too sure about taking pictures. \u00a0He’s a big fisherman so I’m sure he would have rather been fishing, but he was a complete natural once we got warmed up! \u00a0Melissa didn’t have to work very hard either. \u00a0She’s a complete natural as well and her beautiful smile could light up a room! \u00a0The sunset we got was fantastic, as it almost resembled an atomic bomb of beautiful color exploding in the background! \u00a0I’m looking forward to their wedding in the Spring of 2016 which will be at Up the Creek Farms!<\/p>\n
