It all started in college. They were both part of a Christian sorority and fraternity at UF and their houses were hosting a fun scavenger hunt. Emily wanted nothing to do with Michael at first, but thanks to her sister’s persuasion she went out with him that night. Something felt right and they just clicked, so for the rest of the entire semester they spent all their free time together. And not long after he asked her to be his girlfriend. From there he joined the armed forces and they’ve had a long distant relationship for the past few years.

So besides the fact that these two are absolutely beautiful people inside and out, they have so much joy when they are together. We have never laughed so hard during an engagement session (even at 7 am)! And although I am really not a morning person (no matter how hard I try to be) these two made our time with them during their sunrise engagement oh so amazing. Maybe it was the fact that they were finally reunited after such a long distance between them, or they are simply that much in love, but they made waking up before the sun absolutely worth it! We loved our time with Emily and Michael so much and we are excited to share some of our favorites from this past Sunday’s sunrise photos with you all today!

They were all snuggles and giggles the entire session! I think sunrise session at the beach are our new favorites :) Oh this light! Look at these cuties! Love this one!Emily, you are stunning, both inside and out! I told you guys they were fun! Emily and Michael sitting in a tree :) Did we mention they met at UF? They’re also huge Tim Tebow fans! 

Emily and Michael, we are beyond honored that you chose us to be a part of this amazing journey down the aisle! We had an amazing time during your session and we are so grateful that we were able to capture your love! We are literally counting down the days until your wedding! We can’t wait until December :)
