Kayaking Photoshoot | Nicole & Alex Adventure Session

Couple floating together in Weeki Wachee River

I attended a styled shoot at Weeki Wachee Spring to get portfolio images and my first taste of an elopement! Although it was a ticketed event with a model couple (they are really married) and a group of eight photographers, the entire day felt like a glimpse into a real elopement day. The day continued with an intimate Airbnb elopement, I’ll link the second half at the end!

The day began with this adventurous river kayaking photoshoot. I personally value experiences and I’d love to plan more sessions like this for my clients! Think of all the couples photoshoot possibilities: from riding bicycles around your neighborhood to cooking and slow dancing in the kitchen, or anything you can dream of! Contact me with your concept here.

Weeki Wachee Spring: A Kayaking Adventure Photoshoot

Although I’m a Florida native, this was my first trip to a natural spring. When I arrived at Weeki Wachee Spring, I was struck by the clear blue water! We started the day here swimming, taking kayaks out on the Weeki Wachee River, and even jumping off the dock! It was playful, intimate, and such a fun way to open the story.

Part Two: Airbnb Elopement

After drying off, we headed to a vintage Airbnb camper nestled near a quiet field of ferns. That’s where we captured the rest of the elopement ceremony and details, click here to see the second part! If you’re looking for photos like this you can contact me for your couples adventure here.
