A heartfelt Tampa maternity and pregnancy announcement session with the Horrocks family, photographed on a windy beach evening and filled with genuine moments and connection.

Your wedding day might have been filled with hundreds, maybe even thousands, of photos, but there’s something uniquely special about capturing your honeymoon. It’s the first time you and your partner get to exhale after all the planning, the celebrations, and the whirlwind of your wedding. And if you’ve chosen Hawaii as your destination, your honeymoon photos won’t just be pictures, they’ll become timeless works of art that capture your love in one of the most breathtaking places on earth.

Maybe it’s the way the air smells like salt and freedom. Maybe it’s the open sky, or the rhythm of the waves. Whatever it is, beach sessions just hit different. And Kay and Brian’s engagement session on Long Beach Island in New Jersey was everything I love about photographing couples by the ocean.

I wasn’t planning to photograph a proposal that night.

We had just wrapped up a family photo session on the Oregon coast and were heading to grab dinner. It was one of those golden evenings where the light stays soft long after sunset, and after we ate, someone suggested we swing by Ecola State Park to catch the very end of it. We almost didn’t go. But something pulled us in that direction, and I’m so glad it did.
