Golden Hour Davis Islands Engagement Session | Tampa Wedding Photographer

Taylor and Johnathan’s Davis Islands engagement session was really one for the record books. Becuase it was golden hour, the lighting was exquisite. You can see the gorgeous sunlight behind them that really brought the whole session to life. I am so excited for their upcoming wedding in the fall of 2025!

Taylor really wanted a beach vibe but with texture and excitement in the background. So this spot in Tampa combined everything she wanted! You can see the boats and dock there all year long because the weather is still nice. So it gives all the fall tones, but on the beach. Such a great mix of ocean, boats, and autumn coloring.

Engagement sessions are the best time to get to know your photographer. Between how they pose and direct couples to how they edit and deliver photos…you’ll want to know all the information before your wedding day! Plus, it creates such great memories before your wedding day. You’re only engaged for a short period of time so it’s super important to capture it.

As a Tampa wedding photographer, I’ve loved photographing engagement sessions over the years. It truly continues to be an honor to get to see couples in love in front of the camera. Another recent engagement session in Lakeland will spark even more inspiration for your upcoming session.

Taylor and Johnathan’s session together was a great reminder that engagement sessions really are all about YOU! Every location, vibe, and session are different because they’re centered around you as a couple. Which is exactly the way it should be.

A lot of people think that beach sessions are for the summer. And, don’t get me wrong, the beach in the summer can be a vibe. However, I do think a beach moment in the fall can be just as golden and magical. Need some proof? Check out the photos below from Taylor and Johnathan’s Davis Islands engagement session!
