Places for the shoot:

– Grandview Gardens Hotel – Special thanks to the maintenance manager for all the help ✨.
What didn’t make it to the edition:
It was a picture-perfect day for our cover shoot, a true Florida blessing after days of unpredictable rain that had us biting our nails over the deadline. Typical Florida weather kept us on edge, but the skies cleared just in time to capture the magic!
When plans went sideways, and we couldn’t find someone to join Mandy at the diner for the shoot, a gracious customer stepped in to save the day! Their impromptu cameo added an authentic, unscripted charm to the scene—proof that sometimes the best moments are the unexpected ones.
Get ready to laugh and relive the magic with our video collage! From capturing the best moments of the shoot to behind-the-scenes bloopers that had us all in stitches, this collection is a perfect mix of creativity, fun, and the unpredictable charm of production day.
