KATIE + JOSH STEP INTO THE LIMELIGHT | TRADEWINDS ISLAND GRAND RESORT | ST. PETE BEACH, FL

 

Katie and Josh matched on a dating app and went on their first date at Armature Works. They hit it off immediately and have been inseparable ever since. 
One day, Josh and Katie went on a walk during sunset on St. Pete Beach. To Katie’s surprise, Josh dropped down on one knee and asked her to marry him. He even hired a photographer to capture the entire thing (nice move, Josh!).
“I love his heart and his work ethic and dedication to being a dog dad (and eventual human dad)” - Katie
One of  Tara and I’s favorite moments was during the sunset session. A group of young kids were watching Katie and John take their photos. Katie looked so beautiful that I just had to ask Josh to take a step out so she could show off her dress for one photo. The kids watching came up to Josh and started asking him relationship advice. One kid asked Josh how he got a girl as beautiful as Katie. 
Men, take note:
“ You have to show her that you love her with everything you do. Whether it is opening the door for her, pulling out her chair, remembering her favorite dessert—-you have to show her that you appreciate and love her. “  - Josh.
We LOVED celebrating with Katie and Josh on their wedding day. Thank you for having us!
