Last night Mike gave me an awesome treat for our anniversary! After having an easygoing day of breakfast and a movie, we got ready for our anniversary date and headed towards Long Beach. I had been wondering what the ’surprise’ would be all week and once we drove toward 2nd Street & Belmont Shore, I couldn’t help but figure it out. I was so excited I actually squealed with joy, a gondola ride in Naples Bay!!! Yay! Over the years I had let out many ‘not so subtle’ hints that I would love to go on one someday and Mike has won hubby of the year award all with this one date

It was so relaxing, we floated through the canals looking at all the gorgeous houses, sipping champagne and eating bread & cheese. Here are a couple of cell phone snaps (forgive us for the bad quality..as you all know we generally take much better photos than these ones)..lol

We photographed Laura and Phil’s engagement session a couple of weeks ago at Gardens of the World. It was a unique location choice that they found and filled with lush green trees, bright florals and even tall tropical bamboo..perfect for some bright colorful images. The whole area was so peaceful and beautiful, Mike & I agreed that we’ll have to go back there sometime for a romantic picnic.

Afterwards, as I edited the pictures what stood out to me most was that throughout the session, Laura and Phil were so happy with each other that they couldn’t stop smiling, which of course made our job even easier! We’re looking forward to capturing their wedding in August!
