Cape Harbour Photos: Kate and Dylan’s Sentimental Engagement Session

Engagements

Capturing Kate and Dylan’s engagement session on March 15th was nothing short of magical. With the perfect blend of meaningful locations, golden sunset light, and their joyful connection, this day was a photographer’s dream for stunning Cape Harbour photos.

A Relationship Rooted in Faith and Friendship

Kate and Dylan’s love story began in a uniquely modern way—through Instagram! Kate’s maid of honor, Sara, had known Dylan since elementary school in Minnesota. After Sara moved to Florida and became friends with Kate through a young adult ministry in 2022, she encouraged Kate to follow her childhood crush on Instagram. One DM later, and a beautiful relationship began to unfold.

What makes their story even more special is how deeply their relationship is rooted in shared faith. As Kate shared, “We both love the Lord and follow Him together,” which is beautifully evident in the way they treat each other—with patience, joy, and intention.

Cape Harbour Cape Coral FL: A Day Filled With Meaningful Stops

Their engagement session began at Cape Harbour in Cape Coral, FL, a location that holds immense sentimental value for them. It’s where Dylan first asked Kate to be his girlfriend, and also where they had one of their most heartfelt conversations about a future together. With palm-lined streets, vibrant buildings, and scenic water views, Cape Harbour marina in Cape Coral, FL offered the perfect backdrop for romantic engagement photos.

We strolled through the marina capturing candid moments, laughter, and love at every turn. These Cape Harbour photos truly showcase the couple’s chemistry and the charm of this Southwest Florida gem.

A Sweet Stop at The French Press

Next, we visited The French Press, a cozy local café that’s become part of their relationship. It’s not only one of their favorite date spots, but it’s also where Kate has spent hours editing wedding videos. They even have a go-to table—“our table,” as Kate sweetly calls it. Ice cream in hand, we captured some relaxed, joyful shots that tell the story of their everyday love.

Cape Coral Photos at Tarpon Point Marina

For the second half of their Cape Coral engagement session, we headed to Tarpon Point Marina. As the golden hour light set in, Kate and Dylan changed outfits, embraced the breeze, and let their love shine. The wind gave their photos a soft, cinematic feel, perfect for this dreamy chapter of their story.

Laughing, dancing, and wrapped in each other’s arms, their connection was magnetic. As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a golden glow over the water, we created timeless images full of emotion and energy.

A Long-Distance Love, Captured Forever

Dylan flew in from Minnesota, and I drove from Orlando to make this session happen—but every mile was worth it. Their love story spans states, seasons, and many moments of intentionality.

With their wedding coming up at Redeemed Farm this summer, I’m honored to have captured the early pages of their story, including their beautiful beach proposal in Naples. These Cape Harbour photos reflect not only their love for each other, but also their love for the places that helped shape their journey.
