Deanna and Stephen - Tampa Bay area wedding photography


What can we say about this couple.. They are both amazing people and we had a blast photographing their wedding. Once you get past Stephen’s sarcastic-ness (which added to the fun of the day), its smooth sailing. :)

Deanna and Stephen got at St. Frances Cabrini Catholic Church in Spring Hill Florida. They had their reception at Black Diamond Ranch in Lecanto. Having photographed at Black Diamond several times, the challenge is to create wedding portraits that are unique to each client, while photographing areas that they want. Black Diamond has many gorgeous locations, but the most popular one is around the Quarry. Its a beautiful location.

We hope you enjoy their portraits as much as they did!!

Samantha and Brian | Wedding Pictures in Hawaii | Hawaii Wedding Photographer

,

We recently traveled to the Big Island in Hawaii to photograph Samantha and Brian's wedding around the Kona area. How can you say "no" to a wedding in Hawaii, especially one that involves a helicopter? This was a wedding photographer's dream come true.

We travel A LOT for our business. We have photographed destination sessions in Paris, Iceland, Stockholm, Aruba, Barbados, Italy, etc, but there is something about photographing a wedding in Hawaii that rises above the rest.

We have known Samantha since middle school. So we were excited when she asked use to be her photographers. As wedding photographers, we have the opportunity to photograph amazing clients each and every year, but we rarely get the opportunity to photograph a wedding for someone that we know very well on a personal level. It makes the entire process much easier. Wedding photography is so much easier when you know the clients personally, which is why we strive to build a relationship with each of our clients. 

Photographing a wedding in Hawaii is pretty easy to be honest. There are so many different spots to photograph that its a wedding photographer's dream. It is not very difficult to get an amazing portrait.. Add a helicopter (Blue Hawaiian) to the mix and you know the photographs will be AMAZING!! This is the kind of wedding that makes other photographers jealous :)

The day following their wedding at a private waterfall, we took a trip to Volcanoes National Park on the south side of the Island of Hawaii to photograph Samantha and Brian some more. We wanted to take advantage of the erupting volcano (Kīlauea), so we headed out to the lava fields to create some amazing portraits for Samantha and Brian.

Jacqueline and Brian | Safety Harbor Resort and Spa | Tampa Wedding Photographer

Jacqueline and Brian got married a couple of months ago at the Safety Harbor Resort and Spa in Safety Harbor, Florida, just north of Tampa. This was the first wedding we have photographed at the venue and it was amazing. Unfortunately, rain was in the forecast, so we had a bit of weather to deal with, but as wedding photographers, we still have to create amazing images for our clients. 

Jacqueline and Brian decided that they wanted to do a first look. We usually recommend that our clients do one as it allows us to get most of the pictures done before the wedding, so the only thing left to do after the wedding is a few creative portraits. It helps get the pictures done faster and gives you more time to party!! :)

The wedding was a blast. It helps that Jacqueline is a cheerleader for the Tampa Bay Bucs and that most of her bridal party also consisted of cheerleaders. So it was a giant dance party at the reception and they graced us with a few of their choreographed dances. In addition to the dancing, Jacqueline and Brian also hired a saxophonist to play during the reception. Man, what a treat. That guy was amazing and was able to play along with the main stream songs that the DJ played. It was certainly an awesome experience.

Congratulations Jacqueline and Brian. Thank you for choosing us to be your photographers!! 

Sammy and Dan | Micanopy Florida | Gainesville Wedding Photography

Sammy and Dan got married at Camp McConnell in Micanopy, Florida. This was an amazing outdoor location for their wedding. The amazing Ashley Bennett (http://ashleybennettevents.com) was the event coordinator, which allowed the wedding to run smoothly, and not to mention the beautiful setup that she created for the wedding and reception. It certainly makes my job easier :)

Being an outdoor Florida wedding, it was a bit on the warm side.. (ok it was hot), but it didnt rain.. See we always look to the positives :) As I mentioned, Camp McConnell provided the perfect backdrop for their wedding. They wanted something on the simple side and this location fit their desires. 

After the wedding and reception, they had a bonfire over at the fire ring. Who doesnt love a bonfire? And what is a good bonfire without smores!!

Congratulations Sammy and Dan. It was a pleasure photographing your wedding!!

Rachel and Dan | Sororis Building | Lakeland Wedding Photographer

WOW... What a wedding Rachel and Dan had a few weeks ago. We were honored to be chosen as their wedding photographers for their beautiful wedding in Lakeland, Florida. The wedding was held at the First Presbyterian Church on Lake Hollingsworth. Lakeland is special to me (Curtiss) as I attended and graduated from Florida Southern College. So everytime we get a chance to photograph a wedding in Lakeland, its a bonus to get to visit areas I used to visit all the time.

As creative wedding photographers, we strive to create something fun and different for our clients. Each wedding that we photograph is a new journey. Sure, we have photographed over 200 weddings, but we approach them each as if its new to us. We want to cover the day and provide our clients with something unique and something that they will cherish. To us, its not just another wedding... Its a brand new unique event that we are honored to photograph for our clients.

This wedding was no exception. Rachel and Dan were awesome and made our job as wedding photographers that much easier. Lakeland (as the name suggests) has a ton of lakes. This provides and awesome opportunity to get some amazing sunsets. This day was no exception. We got some amazing images and got to enjoy the wedding of an amazing couple. Congrats guys! Thank you for allowing us to join you on your wedding day :)
