Romantic Summer Engagement Session at The Ringling Museum | Sarasota Engagement Photographer

When Taylor reached out to me about her engagement session with Buddy, I knew it was going to be something special. These two have been together for years and are now getting ready to tie the knot! She sent me a Pinterest board full of dreamy inspiration, and after exploring different spots around the Tampa Bay Area, we landed on the perfect location--The Ringling Museum in Sarasota.

If you're looking for engagement photo inspiration at The Ringling Museum, let me tell you—this place is magic. From the pink-hued architecture to the sprawling gardens and waterfront views, it offers a timeless and romantic backdrop for any couple wanting a unique session that feels elegant, fun, and full of personality.

We secured our reservation and paid the required fee in advance (yes, The Ringling does require both), and headed out for a Sunday morning shoot. It was a typical Florida summer day--hot and sunny—but that didn’t stop us from having an incredible time. Taylor and Buddy were naturals in front of the camera, and we laughed our way through the heat to capture some truly stunning moments.

What I love most about photographing at The Ringling is how versatile the space is. Whether you're drawn to European-style architecture, tropical gardens, or waterfront backdrops, it's all there. It’s a dream location for Sarasota engagement photos and one I’m always excited to return to.

If you’re planning your own engagement session and looking for that picture-perfect location in the Tampa Bay or Sarasota area, I hope Taylor and Buddy’s session gives you some inspiration. Whether it's The Ringling Museum or another special spot, your engagement photos should reflect your story, your style, and your connection—and that’s exactly what we created here.
