Esther and Jesse at the Strawberry Festival (Orlando Engagement Photographer)

Get ready for a major dose of awesomeMy sweet new friend Esther, whom I met at the Scarlett Lillian workshop back in January emailed me a couple of weeks ago to ask if I’d be interested in getting together with her and a couple of other photographers to do some fun engagement photos at the Plant City Strawberry Festival. When she mentioned that the models were going to be her and her fiance, Jesse, of course I said “um, yes!” Esther is not only beautiful and stylish, but she has such an amazing personality that just shines through and is so contagious! I think she and Jesse are a perfect match. I mean, who else says “sure!” when we ask them to sit down and make out in the middle of the midway (and hundreds of people?) Who else will break it down dancing when the Gravitron starts playing Tootsie Roll? Who else will laugh with us when we ask an angry mob to please wait in line an extra 5 minutes for the carousel so we can take some pictures?! They were so adventurous and fun, and totally googley-eye in love with each other (if that’s not obvious from the photos) that it was pure fun to photograph them. I must point out that the location, styling, etc. were all Miss Esther’s idea, and a fabulous one, I think! Esther and Jesse – thank you for being so great, I wish you guys all the best in your life together!
