Jaysauna & Ryan’s Siesta Key sunset engagement session at Access 8 felt calm, joyful, and completely true to who they are. From the very beginning, the evening unfolded naturally with soft sand under their feet, warm light in the sky, and the Gulf Coast stretching out behind them.
This sunset session was relaxed in the best way. Nothing felt rushed. Instead, the focus stayed on connection, movement, and being present together.

Jaysauna and Ryan share a love for dogs, the beach, and adventure. Because of that, choosing Siesta Key for their engagement session felt like an easy decision. The open shoreline gave them room to slow down and simply enjoy the moment.
As we walked along the water, the sun dipped lower in the sky. Meanwhile, the light shifted into warm golden tones. The breeze stayed soft, and the waves rolled in quietly. As a result, the session felt peaceful from start to finish.
Barefoot in the sand, they laughed and talked between photos. In addition, those quiet pauses created space for genuine connection. Those in-between moments are always our favorite to capture.

Ryan’s proposal story fits them perfectly. He proposed during a helicopter ride, turning an already special moment into an unforgettable experience. Because adventure plays such a big role in their relationship, the proposal felt deeply personal.
That same excitement carried into their Siesta Key sunset engagement session. For example, the way they moved together felt natural and unforced. Overall, their connection felt steady, joyful, and full of intention.

As the sun began to set, the sky softened into pastel shades. Shortly after, the light wrapped around them in the most beautiful way. Siesta Key sunsets have a calming magic, and this evening was no exception.
Finally, the session ended just as peacefully as it began. The waves stayed gentle. The colors faded slowly. Most importantly, the moment felt real.
Jaysauna & Ryan, we loved capturing your Siesta Key sunset engagement session and this season of your story. It was a perfect reflection of your love and the adventure ahead.

If you’re dreaming of a Siesta Key sunset engagement session that feels relaxed and unposed, Access 8 is always a favorite. In the end, engagement photos should feel like you, and we’d love to help you plan something meaningful.
