St.Petersburg Beach Engagement Session | Samantha + Brian


Where I can start, Brian is the best friend of Sam's cousin, this is how they met each other through him . They started dating in November of 2013 and eventually he moved down to Tampa to be with Sam. They had a super relationship dating, hanging out with friends and finally Brian decided to propose to her while all the family took a trip to New York City for New Years eve!!! He didn't want it to be on Christmas Eve, so he tried to plan it for their anniversary but wasn't able to, so he did it the day after. He had it planned for months, with the help of Sam;s sister and her mother :). He also asked for Samantha's dad blessing, which of course he got and he picked the song (their song) "Then" by Brad Paisley.

The morning before he proposed everyone went to Central Park, Samantha's mom drop off the CD with the music beforehand as well as got all the tickets arranged to ice skating that night!!. They went to ice skating that night and everyone acted really excited about the idea so she would be convinced to of instead of skipping out. They skated for about an hour before it started. The managers cleared everyone off the ice--of course they skipped Brian, Sam, Brandie and her best friend Emily , so they could take pictures of the moment. Sam was freaking out because she thought they have to leave but Brian kept asking her to take picture infront the tree. When everyone was off, they started the music and Brian proposed in front of thousands of people at the Rockefeller.!! Afterwards they got a complementary glass of champagne in the Restaurante at the Rockefeller , the same they are going to use at their wedding as their Champagnes flutes. They had their engagement session in a super romantic and rainy day at the beach, one of my favourites in St.Pete where they live :) We can't wait to shoot their wedding next April 29th, 2017!!
