Lindsey and Graham’s sailboat engagement session was the kind of evening that reminds me why I love what I do. Just the three of us (plus the captain), a sailboat taking off from St.Pete, and beautiful even lighting that made any angle a winner.
There was no agenda—just a relaxed sunset cruise, a few quiet toasts, and moments that unfolded naturally. Some of my favorite images came from the in-between moments: wind in their hair, laughing with one another, and the way they kept looking at each other as if no one else were around.
I also love this setting because there’s some downtime to just chat and form a connection. I learned Lindsey is a huge Swiftie, a little about their career and personal aspirations and their insane surprise proposal story in Chile.
Why I Love a Sailboat Engagement Session Setting
- Being surrounded by water brings a sense of calm and intimacy, almost like the world falls away
- Natural golden light and open horizon
- Built-in adventure for couples who want something different
- A sailboat naturally draws couples closer—holding onto each other feels both practical and romantic
Lindsey and Graham’s Romantic Evening on the Bay
We met just before sunset, and Lindsey wore a breezy two-piece white outfit perfect for the occasion—Graham couldn’t take his eyes off her!
One of the highlights? The drone shots. They gave us an epic perspective of the boat against Tampa Bay’s glowing blues.
Lindsey + Graham, Thank You
Lindsey and Graham, thank you for letting me capture this wonderful part of your love story. Your session was calm, romantic, and so you. I’ll never forget it.

He took the time to get to know us, our family, and friends which made everyone feel comfortable and seen during the wedding day. Throughout the process he was a phenomenal resource for the wedding industry which made the whole planning experience enjoyable, smooth and seamless.
He is one of the reasons that our wedding will forever be the best day of our lives.

"We can't say enough WONDERFUL things about our experience with Eddy—"
—the attention to detail, ease of working together, his fun personality and his dedication to his work are top notch. Simply capturing the people that were there was one thing, but Eddy captured the emotions and the story behind the entire day and for that we will be forever grateful.
