Congratulations Courtney and Rich!!! Engagement Portraits in Ybor City

This adorable couple shared the story of the engagement with us!































His Perspective

It was May 6, 2009 and Courtney was finishing the last day of her 2nd year of law school. Before I went to work in the morning I slipped a card under her front door that congratulated her on finishing yet another grueling year of studies and informed her that as a reward, I'll be taking her to our favorite bed & breakfast on Cape Cod for the night.

Since we were going to a nice restaurant, I cleaned up and put on a nice outfit and just about everyone in my casually dressed office noticed. All day I had to hear "Wow, you're dressed up today!" I had to play it off like I had an important client meeting, when in fact I couldn't wait to pick Courtney up and whisk her away for our surprise evening. Needless to say, 5:00 took forever to arrive!

After a quiet and relaxing dinner at the Chatham Bars Inn, we returned to our room at the Cranberry Inn in Chatham, MA. It was such a quaint, romantic inn that I knew it was the perfect place to propose. After putting our feet up for a few minutes, and trying to calm my overactive nerves, I finally game Courtney her surprise: she unwrapped a present to reveal a purse that she had wanted for years. She was so excited that she didn't even bother to open it up! After finally opening it (with my encouragement) she found a photo album filled with pictures of our 3 years together. Placed over each picture were lyrics to our favorite Sinatra song, "Day by Day." She had to remove the sheet of lyrics to reveal the photo and when she got to the last page, there was not a picture underneath, but a question: "Will you marry me?"

This is where things get a little foggy. I'm pretty sure I told her how much I love her, that she is my best friend and supporter, and that I would always be by her side. OR I could have babbled incoherently for five minutes. All I know is she said "yes!" and put the ring on... and I couldn't be happier about it!

Congratulations Stephanie + Jason!

I met Stephanie and Jason at the hip new Point Bistro & Lounge in downtown Tampa for our session. MMD Events stylized our set with a beautiful candlebra complete with pale pink pillar candles match Stephanie's dress. We continued our session walking down the streets of downtown Tampa and found some really cool art sculptures, brick walls and the Tampa skyline.

Congratulations Angie + Peter!

Downtown Tarpon Springs was the perfect location for this Greek couple. The Sponge Industry helped build a Greek Community that is now famous not only for the worlds finest sponges, but for some of the finest Greek Restaurants, Markets, and Bakeries in the Country. What you will find at the Tarpon Springs Sponge Docks: Greek Restaurants, Bakeries, Natural Sponges, Sponge Diving, Tours, Sightseeing Cruises, Unique Greek and Florida Souvenirs, lots of Shopping, Jewelry, Art galleries, Aquarium, and Live Entertainment (Bouzoukia).

Angie and Peter got super creative and brought along some personalized items to stylize the set including a nautical rope, rubber rain boots, a heart made of sponges and sponges cut into the letters L-O-V-E.
