Kaitlin & Graham's Love Story at Celery Fields

Photographing Kaitlin and Graham's engagement session at Celery Fields in Sarasota, FL, was an absolute delight. As the lead photographer at Limelight Photography, I have the privilege of capturing many beautiful love stories, but theirs was truly special. This sweet couple radiated so much love and happiness, making it a joy to document their connection.

From the moment I met Kaitlin and Graham, their deep connection was palpable. They met at the University of Florida, where they both shared a passion for music as members of the university band.

Celery Fields provided a stunning backdrop for our photojournalistic photography style, capturing the natural beauty of Sarasota, Florida, and the authentic moments between Kaitlin and Graham. Whether they were walking hand-in-hand through the lush greenery or sharing a candid laugh, their love shone through in every shot.

One of the highlights of the session was Graham's ability to make Kaitlin laugh constantly. He’s hilarious and his playful spirit added so much joy to the shoot. Kaitlin’s laughter and Graham’s tender glances made it easy to capture their story in a way that felt genuine and true to who they are as a couple.

As we explored the fields, the golden light of the setting sun created a dreamy atmosphere, perfect for their engagement session photography. Kaitlin’s laughter and Graham’s humor made every moment special, ensuring their love story was beautifully documented.

Engagement session photography in Sarasota offers endless possibilities, and Celery Fields is a gem that never disappoints. It's always a pleasure to work with couples like Kaitlin and Graham who are so in love and excited to start their journey together.

Carly + Kacper Step Into The Limelight | Sand Key Beach | Clearwater, FL

There’s something truly magical about engagement sessions, and when you add a special location and a talented young assistant, it becomes an unforgettable experience. Recently, Gia (my incredible 11-year-old daughter with an amazing eye for photography) and I had the pleasure of capturing the love story of Carly and Kacper at Sand Key Beach.

Carly and Kacper's journey together started in the most charming of ways—at a dog park. Who knew that a casual stroll with their furry friends would lead to such a beautiful love story? From that serendipitous meeting, their relationship blossomed, filled with shared adventures and countless cherished moments.

Kacper knew he wanted to make his proposal as special as Carly is to him. He chose the perfect setting: a sunset cruise on their boat in the stunning Florida Keys. As the sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky with shades of orange and pink, he asked Carly to spend forever with him. Her answer was a joyous yes, marking the beginning of their journey to forever.

When asked what they love most about each other, Carly and Kacper both agree—everything! It's a love that shines through in every glance and smile they share. Their shared interests and hobbies bring them even closer. Whether they’re boating, enjoying beach days, surfing, fishing, traveling, or even dancing (not necessarily well!) in the kitchen, every moment together is filled with joy and laughter.

Our engagement session took place at the picturesque Sand Key Beach, overlooking the JW Marriott Clearwater Beach Resort & Spa. This stunning location is not only a perfect backdrop for their engagement photos but also the venue where Carly and Kacper will tie the knot in May 2025. The session was filled with laughter, love, and the soft glow of the setting sun, creating beautiful memories captured through our lenses.

Capturing Carly and Kacper's love story was an honor and a joy, made even more special by having my daughter Gia by my side. If you're looking to capture your own love story, consider Limelight Photography. Whether it’s an engagement, wedding, or any special moment, we’re here to help you preserve those precious memories.
