Engagement and couples photographer in Tampa Bay
Easy, natural sessions for engagements, anniversaries and just-because photos, from historic Tampa streets to Gulf beaches at sunset. Perfect if you are not used to being in front of a camera.
Natural posing, even if you are camera-shy
Most couples say they are not used to being photographed. Shiva gives easy, gentle direction so nothing looks stiff or forced, and the photos look like the two of you on a good day.
City, gardens or beach
Choose the setting that feels like you: historic architecture and brick streets, shaded oaks and gardens, or the beach at sunset. Not sure? Shiva will suggest spots that suit the light and your style.
What you receive
A 60-75 minute session timed for golden hour and a private online gallery of warm, cinematically edited high-resolution photos with full download and print rights.
Favourite Tampa Bay locations
A few settings that suit different styles, from historic streets to the waterfront and the woods.
Ybor City
Brick streets, historic buildings and the streetcar give photos an old-Tampa feel. The tiled front of the Columbia Restaurant is a favourite backdrop.
University of Tampa, Plant Hall
The silver minarets and Moorish arches of this historic building make a striking, romantic backdrop. Sessions on campus need the university’s approval in advance.
Tampa Riverwalk and Curtis Hixon Park
Palm-lined paths along the river with the downtown skyline behind you, lovely in the soft light before sunset.
Lettuce Lake Park
A shaded boardwalk through cypress trees for a natural, earthy look, and a cooler choice on hot days.
Prefer the beach? Couples sessions also happen on the Gulf beaches at golden hour.
