Sneak Peek

Samantha & Dillon

March 8, 2026

Dillon and Samantha took over Downtown St. Augustine for their engagement session, starting in the shade near the Lightner Museum and working their way through the cobblestone streets. Rain was in the forecast, so we moved the session up a few hours, and we were treated to a warm, sunny March afternoon. St. Augustine is always full of surprises, like when we were photobombed by a Model T while they posed in front of a worn stucco wall. We got our steps in by walking up the bayfront, grabbing a few pictures at the marina, and finally wrapped up the session at my favorite—the Castillo de San Marcos.
