I never thought it would happen but my good friend Taylor asked his girlfriend Amanda to marry him! I happened to bring my camera to church with me and catch some pictures of it happening which can be seen on my really cool picture hosting gallery at www.12-1photography.smugmug.com
As the title says, Florida is hot as hell! and sometimes its a little difficult getting really awesome engagement pictures in the humidity but I had the amazing help of two insanely great looking models,…Taylor and Amanda! We tried to photograph their engagement pictures Lakeland but it rained. We just couldn’t seem to shake the rain so we stopped for some lunch in the down town Plant City. It kept raining and we kept being bummed out but still had hope! We wanted to get some pictures in the hard rain later because that’s always really cool and romantic, but needed to get the regular ones first. It finally stopped! YEAH!! We went out in the extremely awesome heat and humidity that so often comes after a Florida summer rain. We walked around racking our brains for pictures that would show the least sweat and look really cool. I love the Look of really good looking people in slightly run down areas and Plant city has it, plus they have some nice places to shoot pictures too. We were at our first run down building on the front porch like thing. Old rotting wood, sheet metal and the smell of fresh rain. we started taking the first picture when a woman came out of the door and asked what we thought we were doing there! Oh, hmmm? We said “Taking pictures of-course” She promptly told us to leave and was quite rude about it so we left and found so many other cooler places to shoot. That’s the first time I’ve ever been kicked out of a place during a photo shoot. No matter, Ya can’t put a damper on LOVE! We had a great time hanging out and getting really great, awesome, cool pictures! Plant city is one of my many favorite places to do photo shoots. Taylor & Amanda are having their wedding at Hollis Garden in Lakeland. I’m pretty exited about that! I have always wanted to photograph a Hollis Garden Wedding! I’m also very excited about the yellow color theme Amanda has planned for her wedding! Here’s a few of the pictures we got during Taylor and Amanda’s fun Plant City engagement session!

Those are GREAT! Where did you find these locations in Plant City?
Denise, Thanks a lot!
we basically hung out walking the streets and driving around on the look out for cool places. We found and abandon house with a field next to it off the side of the road by a gas station on James Redman rd. or whatever its called, and the rest were in down town and right outside of the down town area just walking and looking.
