Evan & Lexxie's Classy Engagement Session

Funny enough, these two and I met at my second job a while back at a fine dining restaurant. This sweet couple came in for our new grand opening and before you know it, a bartender friend of mine had found out the two had just got engaged a few days prior. My sweet friend Nathan introduced us to each other and my style ended up being exactly what Lexxie was looking for. We chatted for a little bit and I absolutely fell in love with the two.

Fast forward to a few weeks later, Lexxie and I jumped on a phone call and spoke all about her vision for their engagement photos. As we chatted about further details, she told me the sweetest story of why they wanted them shot in the location they chose, which was this old fashioned, vintage, classy Wine Room on the Downtown street of 5th Ave Naples FL.

This Vine Room was Lexxie and Evans favorite place to go together. Downtown Naples is the most enchanting little place with the best places to wine and dine, and The Vine Room is by far one of most unique places on 5th Ave. With the romantic, vintage, classy vibes being so prominent in this little place, along with the memories Lexxie and Evan had made there, this made for the obvious choice for their engagement session photos.

The day of their session we had the whole place to ourselves which made things even more sweet and intimate between the two. The more I photographed, the more their laughs, smiles, giggles, and love for each other grew. With some Wine in hand, and each other by their side, everything felt perfect. These two were ohh so clearly made for each other, and it was obvious just based off the way they gazed into each others eyes. Watching the two of them interact with each other made me realize all the more why I love what I do. Seeing two people fall more in love with each other every day, and I get to be the one to witness such big snippets of their love story has my heart melting each time.

Towards the end of their session, Evan mentioned to me that they also had one other thing that was very special to them.... His BMW motorcycle. I asked him further about the topic and he said that one of their favorite things to do together is to ride around Downtown together. So naturally what did we do?? We went outside and got a few final pictures with their motorcycle, and let me just say..... it was the best way we could have possibly ended the session.

I am so excited to see where the Lord takes these two on their journey together and I couldn't be more honored that I got the privilege of documenting such an important part of their story. Wishing and praying for all the best for this amazing couple.
