His hand gripped her waist tightly to him. His eyes never straying from her face. He dipped her back into a stage-worthy kiss, lingering just a little, even after the shot was complete. The chemistry between these two is so powerful, I love how you can see it in every photo. There was zero hesitation from Michael when asked to pull Molly closer. In fact, I think it was his favorite part of taking photos! The love between these two is what dreams are made of. Especially for photographers like me, who are absolutely obsessed with love! I believe love stories are what make life worth living, and Molly & Michael’s story is one of the sweetest.

If you happen to have the pleasure of knowing these two, you know there was no better place than The Al Ringling Theatre for their engagement session. The grand opulence of this theatre is a perfect backdrop for their love. Molly and Michael are actively involved in local theater shows and have loved the performing arts since childhood! Molly says when they finally reconnected, she was totally enamored with Michael. Mostly because of his high school show choir performances! It was so much fun being able to incorporate somewhere so special into their photos. It was so sweet to hear them laughing and teasing that we should take some pictures in the green room, because that’s where the memories are. I personally remember coming to this theatre as a little girl in elementary school, and being completely in awe of the beauty & architecture. I never could have imagined that twenty years later, I would be taking some killer engagement photos here! Thank you so much, Michael and Molly for this amazing opportunity! You two were truly amazing to work with, and I can’t wait for your wedding this fall!
