Intimate black and white portrait of couple sharing tender moment outdoors.

When I met up with Aaron & Anna for their engagement session, we were greeted with the most perfect sunset peeking out from behind a massive oak tree. The tree (known as Treaty Oak) is tucked away in downtown Jacksonville. You would never know this little slice of quiet serenity existed unless you went looking for it. The arms of the tree sprawl out far and wide like an octopus' arms. It's a sight to see.


As we started the session, Aaron and Anna were quiet. They are both shy by nature, but they didn't let that stop them from breaking out of their shells and doing even the most ridiculous prompts that I gave them. They walked, they danced, they laid in the grass.... they did it all. They stole glances at each other and didn't have to speak words to convey the love that they feel for each other. It showed.
