When we were down in Central Florida this past March we had an opportunity to photograph two couples, one of them being Jacob and Abby. I was so nervous it would be awkward- meeting up with two people we had never met, who weren’t planning on getting photos done and in an area I had never ever been before. BUT the moment we all started talking it was like we had all known each other for years. I told Davy as we left, “I wish we didn’t live so far apart because I really liked those two.”

That is one of the best things about this job. Connecting with people. You meet as strangers and leave as friends. It really is beautiful. We actually found out Abby lives up here in NY and stays down in Florida during the her school year, where she met Jacob. They fell in love and have been together ever since. They both are so kind and sweet. We did their couple photos (aka- love story session) at the amazingly beautiful Bok Tower Gardens.

Acre upon acre of tropical gardens and large trees covered with Spanish moss. We had no clue but we arrived at the best time of day- where the singing tower plays its carillon concert. For our entire shoot you heard the bells all over the grounds. It not only was super romantic it also was incredibly magical and relaxing. The gardens also have a mansion you can tour so Davy and I (not having the baby) went on a little date after the shoot to enjoy a quiet afternoon together.

It was such a special day and another little dream come true. Thank you Abby and Jacob for being so adventurous and willing to meet to crazy kids from CNY. We loved our time with you guys and when we come visit again we will have to meet up! We pray God’s abundant blessings over you both as you continue your love story together! xoxo Em and Davy
