Their session was full of laughter, playful moments, and effortless romance. And just when you thought things couldn’t get more fun? These two ended the day by jumping into a pool—fully dressed. Talk about commitment and joy.
Why Ybor City Made the Perfect Backdrop for their Engagement Photos
This historic neighborhood has so much character, making it one of Tampa’s best engagement photo locations. Whether we’re capturing bold architectural textures or sneaking into cozy corners for a drink, there’s always something new to explore. And for Annette and Bryce, Ybor felt like home.
The Engagement Session in 3 Acts
We started by wandering Ybor’s charming and historical streets, where Annette and Bryce really brought out their loving, playful sides. They wanted an engagement session that paid homage to Tampa ,and Ybor delivered.
Act 1. Strolling Ybor City
Act 2. Cocktails & Cozy Vibes
After their stroll, these two cozied up inside Hotel Haya‘s Flor Fina bar. The bar has dim lighting, moody shadows near the bar, and a beautiful greenhouse-esque portion that lets in great, soft light.
Act 3: The Grand Finale
To cap it off? They dove into the pool—literally. It was spontaneous, fun, and SO them. One of those “you had to be there” moments I’ll never forget.
Real Love, Real Joy
Engagement sessions like these remind me that the best engagement photos don’t come from posing—they come from just being. Just showing up as yourselves and letting the moments unfold.
Annette and Bryce, thank you for trusting me and embracing the whole adventure.

"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.
