Holly & Austin Smith | Day After Session on Honeymoon Island, Dunedin, FL

Day After Portraits, Uncategorized

Holly and Austin had been married 24 hours when we stepped onto white sands. Florida, you boast of your beaches. You aren’t bragging… you are the white crowned glory of the Southern coast.
