Clarisse + Kurtis | Engagement Session at Washington Oaks Gardens


Clarisse and Kurtis’ engagement session at Washington Oaks Gardens State Park in Palm Coast, Florida was pure perfection. The weather was calm, sunny, and absolutely beautiful — the kind of day that reminds me why I love photographing couples in this stunning location.


As one of the most romantic spots for engagement photos in Northeast Florida, Washington Oaks Gardens is filled with blooming flowers, winding stone paths, and centuries-old oak trees dripping in Spanish moss. It’s the perfect mix of timeless elegance and natural charm, and it fit Clarisse and Kurtis’ style so well.


These two were a dream to photograph — full of laughter, warmth, and genuine connection. Every image captured how comfortable and in love they are, and it shows in every glance and smile.


Sessions like this make my job as a Florida engagement photographer so special — capturing real, joyful moments in beautiful places that couples can look back on forever.


Clarisse and Kurtis, thank you for such an easy, relaxed afternoon together. I can’t wait to celebrate your wedding day soon!
