Silver Springs State Park Engagement Session | Ocala, Florida

Ashleigh and Chris are one of those couples that you can immediately tell they have been together for a long time and are truly each other’s best friend. Just spending time with them during their engagement session, I noticed how much they already are a “team”. They just adore each other (as seen in all of these photos)! Needless to say, they were very easy to photograph since they so effortlessly fell into each other’s arms perfectly. A little backstory to this session though…it was actually not supposed to be at Silver Springs! We did this session on a holiday and didn’t realize the original location Ashleigh chose was not going to open in that evening. Ashleigh so graciously went with my next suggestion and we made it happen! Silver Springs is actually where they will be getting married, and it is also where Ashleigh’s parents got married (how sweet!). So, it definitely still made sense to take their engagement photos here.

With Ashleigh’s permission, I’d like to share a little bit of how she describes her relationship with Chris: “The guy that sits with me on porches in the morning to talk about my dreams, with coffee in hand. The guy who sneaked out of my parents’ house, just an hour before I arrived to have dinner with my mom, after asking my parents’ permission to marry me. The guy who makes me giggle and roll my eyes all at the same time. The guy who supports me with a ‘yes, you can’ to literally anything I have hesitation about. That’s my guy <3”

So sweet!! Counting down the days until their October wedding!
