Engagement Session at University of Tampa

When Vincent reached out to me about capturing his proposal to Nicole, I knew it was going to be something special. These two have a story that goes back seven years, starting when they first met as freshmen at the University of Tampa. Their relationship blossomed through their college years, and after they both graduated and moved away for a while, life brought them back to Tampa. What better place for Vincent to propose than where it all began—the University of Tampa?

On the day of the proposal, the excitement in the air was palpable despite the classic Florida heat. Vincent chose the University of Tampa as the perfect backdrop to pop the question, a location that held so many memories for both of them. He had it all planned out: a quiet, meaningful spot on campus, a moment that would transport them back to where their journey started all those years ago.

Nicole was definitely surprised! The look of pure surprise and joy on her face when Vincent got down on one knee was absolutely priceless. The iconic architecture of the University of Tampa served as the perfect setting for their engagement photos, capturing both the emotional moment and the beauty of the place that had been so important in their story.

Even though it was one of those notoriously hot Florida days, nothing could take away from the happiness and excitement Vincent and Nicole shared. They were thrilled to be back in Tampa, now not just as graduates but as an engaged couple. The heat didn’t stop us from exploring the campus, finding a few shady spots to snap some beautiful engagement photos that they’ll be able to cherish forever.

It’s always such an honor to photograph moments like these, but when it takes place at a location as meaningful as the University of Tampa, it’s extra special. For Vincent and Nicole, this engagement photo session wasn’t just about marking their upcoming wedding; it was about celebrating where they’ve been and how far they’ve come together.

As a photographer, capturing moments like this is why I love what I do. Vincent and Nicole’s engagement photos at the University of Tampa are a beautiful reminder of how much a place can mean in a couple’s love story. Whether it’s the location where you first met, where you said “yes,” or where you’re planning to start your next chapter, it’s amazing how a place can hold so much significance.

Congratulations again to Vincent and Nicole! I can’t wait to see what the future holds for these two and wish them nothing but happiness as they continue their journey together.
