Karen L. Barnes Photography

Erika and Stuart chose to do their engagement shoot in Venice, which was so much fun.

I absolutely loved that that they had this great sign in their apartment. It was so perfect I might have to start making them for other couples.

There is so much old brickwork in Venice, and it made for some great photos, especially combined with models who were so much fun.

We wandered around Venice and took advantage of some of the brightly painted walls.

Stuart and Erika were willing to try some shots on the boardwalk, which is a little daunting due to all the watching tourists, but we ended up having a really good time and getting some great shots.

Finally, we headed down to the water to get a few sunset shots.

Erika and Stuart are planning their wedding for later this month, and I can’t wait to work with them again.
Looking forward to seeing you both in a few weeks!
