As a photographer, there are moments when the setting becomes as integral to the story as the couple themselves. Chrissy and Austin's engagement session in Historic Ybor City was one such occasion—a blend of history, romance, and the timeless allure of Grand Cathedral Cigars.

Nestled in the heart of Ybor City, Grand Cathedral Cigars provided a backdrop rich with character and intrigue. Chrissy and Austin were immediately drawn to the dark, atmospheric rooms that housed relics of a bygone era. Against this evocative backdrop, they moved with an effortless grace, exploring the space and reveling in each other’s presence. Every corner became a canvas, every shadow a testament to their love.

Our journey continued down East Seventh Street, a vibrant avenue steeped in culture and charm. Hand in hand, Chrissy and Austin strolled past the iconic Columbia Restaurant, their admiration mirrored in the beautiful tiles and the bustling surroundings. The essence of Ybor City enveloped them, enhancing the intimacy and joy they shared.

As a photographer, it’s these moments that fuel my passion—the ability to capture not just images, but the essence of a couple’s connection in a setting that resonates with their story.

Chrissy and Austin’s engagement session was a celebration of love and legacy, where every photograph spoke of their journey together and the promise of their future. From the dimly lit rooms of Grand Cathedral Cigars to the sunlit streets of Ybor City, their love radiated, and I had the privilege of capturing its brilliance.
