Engagement Photography Washington Oaks Gardens State Park

Carli and Jeff came down to Washington Oaks for their engagement session on one of those perfect November evenings. We started in the gardens with that beautiful golden light filtering through the oaks, then made our way down to the waterfront for some silhouettes as the sun dropped behind the trees. The way these two laugh together is contagious – genuine, easy, and completely themselves. We wrapped things up on the beach among the coquina rock formations as the sky turned pink and purple. Can't wait for the wedding!
