Alvaro + Ashley | Lakeland, Florida | Destination Engagement Photographers

Alvaro is a considerate, funny and adventurous kind of guy and Ashley is a hilarious, hyper, and caring kind of girl. Together they are genuinely happy and absolutely in love, which made photographing them a breeze! The couple enjoys the great outdoors, and water has always been a big part of their relationship. Alvaro grew up surfing in his home of Costa Rica, and both of them love to spend time at the beach, and fishing together. We really wanted to incorporate some water into their session, so Lake Mirror and Hollis Gardens were a great fit!

Alvaro and Ashley, thank you so much for allowing us to capture these special photographs for you guys! We wish you all the best in your married life and can’t wait to see some of the photographs from your celebration in Costa Rica!
