Guana River Preserve Engagement Session

Engagement Photos at Guana River Preserve


In June of 2022, I had the pleasure of working with Chris and Laurel for their engagement photography session at The Guana River Preserve in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. This was not my first encounter with the couple as I had previously captured their surprise engagement in January of 2022.


From the moment I met them, it was clear that they were such a fun-loving couple. They were eager to have fun and try new things during the session. We began at the nature preserve beach access, where we captured some stunning shots of the couple along the lush greenery of the beach access.


Next, we headed to the beach, where Chris and Laurel got a little wet and had a lot of fun. The ocean provided the perfect backdrop for some playful and romantic photos. They were so comfortable with each other, which made capturing their love easy and effortless.



I couldn't help but feel grateful to have been a part of such a special moment in their lives. Chris and Laurel are a perfect example of what love should look like, and I am honored to have been able to capture such special moments in their lives.


I am counting the days to their upcoming wedding later this year at the Gratitude Preserve in South Carolina.


Here are a few of my favorite photos from their summer GTM engagement session!
