“As a plant lover, I had to pick my jaw off the floor when I walked in Sunken Gardens in Saint Petersburg, Florida. Our models, Harry and Chase, got married several years ago but didn’t have wedding photos taken!
We originally wanted to do a very classic elegant but modern shoot but with the parrots, flamingos and plants galore we knew we had to go with a tropical theme while sticking to a minimalist vibe.”—from the photographer Madisun Paige Photography
