Meet Rebekah and Noah! We captured their engagement experience at Jetty Park Cocoa Beach Florida on November 19th, 2023. They will be getting married at The Tides Club at the Patrick Space Force Base, Fl. on April 26th, 2024. Rebekah communicated to me her specific beach vision that she wanted for her engagement photos so that they would be cohesive with their wedding location. She wanted a mix of beach vibes, greenery, sand dunes, and rocks.

Rebekah and I chose Jetty Park at Port Canaveral for their engagement location. I hadn’t been to this beach in over 10 years, but I knew that it offered everything that she had been looking for between the greenery, sand dunes, and its jetty rocks. And it sure did deliver! We arrived at 4pm when the sun was still pretty high in the sky and we stayed until after the sun set at 5:29pm for a gorgeous golden hour.

They both have outgoing personalities and work in the entertainment & theme park industry. They gave me full creative freedom to capture their best selves and stated that I really made them feel confortable in front of the camera. We captured a mix of poses and prompts for a gallery that was very diverse.

One of my favorite aspects of their gallery was the “harsh” lighting and direct shadows. I realy enjoy working with a mix of lighting and direct sun is one of them!
