marinas are my jam

No really.
Some people get all giddy when they walk into a high-end hotel or boutique.
We drive past a marina and I'm like, hold the phone.  I need to see this.

There's something so serene yet exhilarating about marinas to me.  Seeing large, powerful boats gracefully tied up, bobbing ever so slightly in their slip.  Just waiting to be let loose into the open water.


Seven days in Fort Myers meant seven days of blissfully exploring Gulf Harbour Yacht Club.
Seven days.
I didn't even mind the few days of cloudy weather we had.
I had boats to occupy my time.


  Every so often a fish would jump out of the water to grab a bite.
Impossible to catch on film.  And apparently not allowed to be caught.


I have a thing for ropes.  In a non-50shades type of way.
It just fascinates me that a tiny rope can hold more than seven tons steady.



Yeah, marinas are my kind of eye-candy.
What's yours?

I did an engagement shoot witht this theme and it was so much fun! If I wasn't so terrified of wanter I would have a boat. Oh and if I could afford one. Haha

Oh my gosh... what a lovely few days you had. I love marinas too. I can imagine the cloudy weather kind of added nicely to the atmosphere. I am obbsessed (at the moment) with rectangular shaped pools. I posted about them on my blog this week. So nice to be able to relax and enjoy based upon your surroundings.

I agree, they're always so photogenic and I totally feel like a professional photographer when I see my marina/sailboat pics. :) These are gorgeous!

marinas have such a beautiful feel about them - i'm a fan of all the cute little restaurants and icecream places with so much character you can usually find near them :)
