Watercolor Beach Photographer | Ally + Curtis Engagement Session

Love is in the air! Have you ever met two people that you knew were so in love they were going to last a lifetime? If not, let me introduce you to Ally and Curtis. As a Watercolor Beach photographer, I get to capture engagements all along 30A, and these two were the pure, authentic couple every photographer dreams of. You can just see it in their eyes how they feel about each other.

A Dreamy Engagement Session in Watercolor

When I got the call about an engagement session in Watercolor, I immediately got goosebumps. Watercolor is one of my favorite spots on 30A — you get those gorgeous garden paths near Eden Gardens energy plus the stunning sugar-white sand and emerald Gulf water just steps away.

Ally’s Beach Blue Dress + Curtis’s Coastal Look

On this amazing day, Ally wore a stunning “beach blue” flowing dress that was perfect for our majestic sunset. Curtis was looking dapper in a complimenting blue short and button-down ensemble. Their coordinated coastal palette photographed beautifully against the soft greens of the gardens and the warm tones of the setting sun.

From Garden Paths to Gulf Waves

Our locations started in the beautiful Watercolor garden area and ended with “fun in the sun” gulf pictures. If you follow my blog, you know I absolutely love it when people showcase their fun side and take an impromptu dip in the water. Today did not disappoint and had all I can hope for. If you’re planning your own session, check out my favorite Destin and 30A photography locations for inspiration.
