A Colorful Backyard Garden Engagement in St. Pete | Claire & Lindsey
When it comes to capturing real love, sometimes the best sessions happen right at home — or in this case, in a blooming backyard garden in the heart of St. Petersburg, Florida that their friends so graciously let us use. Claire and Lindsey’s engagement session was full of color, laughter, and a surprise pool dip that made the whole day unforgettable.
Set against a lush and flower-filled backdrop, this intimate LGBTQ+ engagement shoot was anything but traditional — and that’s what made it so special.
A Garden Full of Love (and Flowers)
Claire and Lindsey chose to do their engagement photos at a private home in St. Pete, tucked away in a quiet neighborhood where the backyard felt like a hidden oasis. Bright tropical flowers spilled out from every corner, creating a vibrant, natural setting that felt relaxed and alive — the perfect reflection of their relationship.
Dressed casually but matching their surroundings, they wandered through the garden hand-in-hand, barefoot on the grass, surrounded by bougainvillea, hibiscus, orchids, and wild greenery. Every frame felt effortless. No stiff posing, no pressure — just the two of them being fully themselves.
An LGBTQ+ Engagement Session Full of Personality
What stood out most about this St. Pete engagement session was how truly them it felt. Claire and Lindsey’s connection was so natural and joyful, it felt like we were documenting a regular afternoon — one full of sunshine, teasing smiles, and quiet in-between moments that make love feel real.
Whether they were dancing under a tree or curled up together on a garden bench, you could feel the ease and deep friendship at the center of their relationship. It’s that kind of energy that turns a photo session into a true memory.
The Pool Moment (Because It’s Florida)
Just when it started getting pretty warm (for a morning session) Claire and Lindsey surprised me by heading inside to change — and came back out in swimsuits, ready for one last adventure.
They held hands and jumped into the pool, laughing the whole way in. No makeup touch-ups, no stress about hair — just pure fun. That moment captured everything about this session: playful, spontaneous, and totally them.
It was the perfect ending to a colorful, heartfelt engagement shoot in one of Florida’s most charming cities.
