Silverthorn Golf & Country Club wedding | Brooksville, Florida | Tampa wedding photographers

As experienced Tampa wedding photographers, we photograph many weddings all over the Tampa Bay area. We really love traveling to the many unique locations throughout the Tampa area and surrounding counties. This part of Florida has so many great locations. On this lovely spring day, we drove up to Brooksville to photograph another wedding at the lovely Silverthorn Golf and Country Club. We love how they set up the ceremony site overlooking a wonderful water backdrop. The early months of the year are such a wonderful time to get married outdoors in Florida. The temperatures are generally mild and the sweltering heat and humidity haven’t arrive yet. This day was the kind that makes people want to move to Florida. Wonderful blue skies dotted with white fluffy clouds and mild temperatures made it such a pleasure to be outdoors.

We had met Bobby and Nicole a few months prior and had a ton of fun when we photographed their engagement session in downtown Dunedin. We knew how down to earth they were and how much fun they were to be around. The wedding was everything that we knew it would be: fun, fun and more fun!! Everyone really got into helping this couple celebrate their wedding day. Bobby got ready at his parents house and shared some good laughs with his groomsmen as they got ready to leave for the wedding venue. Nicole got ready at her parents house and you could sense the excitement that everyone shared as they got finished with hair and makeup and everyone finished getting dressed. Since guys always seem to get ready much faster than the girls, we got to the venue early and took some really fun photos with the groomsmen. They looked dashing in their tuxedos and really had a lot of fun with their photos. Nicole arrived a little bit later and looked stunningly beautiful. Just as if she had just walked off a wedding fashion magazine. After the lovely outdoor ceremony everyone headed inside to get the party started. Bobby and Nicole shared a very emotional first dance together. You could really see how much they loved each other and how happy they were by the looks in their eyes as they spun around the dancefloor. After dinner it was really time for everyone to let loose and dance the night away. We wanted to capture all of the energy that we saw on that dance floor so we did some cool long exposure pictures that really show how much fun everyone was having at this beautiful wedding. We wish Bobby and Nicole a lifetime of married bliss!!

Siesta Key beach wedding | Sarasota wedding photographer

Lauren and Jonathan got married on beautiful Siesta Key. They rented a wonderful beach house that was right on the beach. You open the back door and you are have the beach right there in front of you! Lots of family and friends flew in from around the country, many of them from areas buried in snow. Everyone was treated to fastastic weather. You just cannot beat Florida weather in February and March! Beautiful sunny skies and a beach with soft white sand instead of white snow? Yeah…..this is like paradise! If you live in Sarasota or plan to have a destination wedding, we highly recommend Siesta Key. Hard to beat this location as a romantic backdrop for a beach wedding.

As experienced Tampa wedding photographers, we love weddings and the joy that surrounds them. We also love looking for all of the unique touches that each bride incorporates into her special day. Lauren worked really hard to plan this wedding and it showed. Lots of wonderful details everywhere and lots of fun activities that were worked into the wedding. Of course with this being a beach wedding, there were lots of sea shells and starfish to set the theme. We also loved the little doggie in his little tux and the beautiful flowers and rose petals everywhere. Everyone was treated to a gorgeous sunset. We got beautiful pictures at sunset and just love all of the unique colors that you can see once the sun comes down. Jonathan also wanted some pictures with his baby (the Ford Mustang), so we drove the car up next to the beach and did some pictures next to his car. Lauren also incorporated some really fun activities into the wedding day. After the sun had set and the night had arrived, everyone lit chinese lanterns and sent them off into the night sky. Very pretty to see them floating away into the distance. Everyone also had a lot of fun playing with the sparklers too! This was a very fun wedding with a lovely couple that we know are destined for a lifetime of married bliss together.

Vintage themed maternity session | Tampa maternity photographer

The following is a video slideshow of an amazing maternity session with did with Vanessa and James. This awesome couple wanted to do a vintage themed maternity session. They rocked it! Vanessa bought some great clothes and got her hair/makeup done the day of the session. We brought many of our antique & vintage props for the session as well. When we put it all together, we got some magical results. James and Vanessa were so comfortable in front of the camera and the late afternoon light, combined for some amazing images. We had a lot of fun on this session. The little one is due any day now and we are so excited for them. We know how much they love each other, what a lovely couple they are and what great parents they will be!!

The Westin Tampa Bay wedding | Ceviche Tampa reception | Tampa wedding photographers

These are just some of our favorite images from the recent wedding of Sascha and Carlo. Sascha is such a lovely person and I discovered that we have so much in common. During our initial consultation and subsequent meetings, we never seemed to run out of interesting things to talk about. She has an amazing sense of style and such a lovely personality. Listening to her talk about Carlo, about how they met and how perfect they each were for each other was so heartwarming. After every meeting, we just couldn’t wait for their wedding day to arrive.

Sascha and Carlo got married on the gorgeous garden terrace on the 7th floor of the Westin Tampa Bay. This fabulous hotel offers some fantastic views of the waters of Tampa Bay and the setting couldn’t have been more perfect or romantic. The garden terrace was perfectly decorated with a stunning archway of gorgeous flowers and great little details. We loved how they included grapes into the arch, and later incorporated into the table center pieces at the reception. The backdrop to the ceremony was the sun gently lowering itself towards the horizon and later providing everyone with an amazing sunset. The weather was perfect and I don’t think you could have scripted a more beautiful day to say “I Do”.

After the wedding, everyone headed off to the Hyde Park area, where their reception would be held at the Ceviche Tampa restaurant. For those of you that haven’t gone before, this is an amazing restaurant with great atmosphere, fantastic food and really good music. As experienced Tampa wedding photographers, we shoot at lots of great locations, and this was another really amazing location. This location felt really cozy, and it felt as if we had been transported into some European farmhouse for an intimate wedding celebration and family reunion. Each table was decorated with fantastic centerpieces, and the entire décor of the room was really impressive. Lots of family was present and there was so much love shared by everyone. The speeches had Sascha and Carlo in tears, and were bringing tears to our eyes too as we photographed those precious family memories and emotional moments. All in all, this was an incredibly beautiful wedding and we were so honored to have been invited to capture these precious moments for this really beautiful couple. We wish Sascha and Carlo a lifetime of married bliss.
