Washington Oaks Park engagement photos Palm Coast FL - Luke & Jennifer

It has been a very busy year for us and we are so grateful for all the beautiful weddings and engagements this year!! One of my favorite places to shoot is at Washington Oaks state park in Palm Coast Florida. There is so much variety here with the beautiful greenery and unique beach. I had such a great time working with Jenn and Luke for both their engagement photos and wedding at Hammock Beach Resort. I will be blogging their wedding as well very soon, as soon as I can catch up! But in the meantime, here are a couple of my favorite photos from their engagement session. Jenn is from California and told me that the beach here in palm coast reminded her of the beaches she use to go to back home. I'm so glad we were able to choose a location that bought back good home memories for her and created new memories now with her new life and hubby!

The day started bright and early at Melissa's home. I knew it was going to be an amazing day when I saw Melissa's stunning pair of shoes and gorgeous sparkly clutch
