Jamie and Eva | Hammock Beach Resort wedding | Palm Coast wedding photographer

The following are some of our favorite images from the wedding of Eva and Jamie. We met Eva and Jamie several months ago and instantly connected with them. I particularly loved how much I had in common with Eva: same first name, a shared love of dogs, and we were both from Europe!! Meeting with Eva and Jamie was such a pleasant experience. They are so warm and personable and we felt an instant connection with them when we first met them. We talked a ton about how they met, their wedding plans and many other things. After meeting with them, we knew that we really wanted to photograph their wedding and capture how much they loved each other.

As Jacksonville wedding photographers, we were so excited to photograph this wedding. The morning of the wedding, we woke up and saw that the forecast called for a 60%+ chance of rain! We prepared our equipment and made plans for how we would photograph if it did rain. We always like to be prepared for anything. As we arrived at the resort, the skies looked like rain was imminent. The resort staff had prepared an indoor area for a ceremony, just in case. Luckily the rain didn’t come, and the outdoor ceremony proceeded as scheduled. Better still, during the ceremony the dark clouds parted and the sun came out for good. What a great sign for Jamie and Eva! After the ceremony, we headed over to the beautiful golf course that runs parallel to the Atlantic Ocean. We got some great shots there and overlooking the beach. We also took advantage of the many beautiful areas within the resort before heading back to the yacht for the reception. The whole day was a lot of fun and we were really sad at the end of the night when we had to leave. We look forward to seeing them again whenever we go back to the Hammock Beach Resort to photograph many future weddings!

Feather Sound Country Club wedding | Clearwater wedding photographer

Question: How does an experienced Tampa wedding photographer spend their new years eve? Answer: Photographing an amazing wedding with an awesome couple and all of their fun family and friends!! This was such a fun day. We started off at the Feather Sound Community Church, where we took pictures of Heather getting ready and sharing some fun times with her mom and brides maids. The ceremony was very beautiful and officiated by a good friend who drove down from Gainesville just for this couple.

After the ceremony, we drove over to the Feather Sound Country Club which was only a few minutes away. Once there, everyone enjoyed an amazing dinner and danced the night away to the super talented DJ Eric Harding from Grant Hemmond & Associates. DJ Eric Harding kept the music pumping and the dance floor packed until well past midnight and the end of the reception. We finished off the evening photographing their grand exit as all of their friends and family saluted with sparklers. We also took the opportunity to take some fun pictures of Heather and Drew drawing a heart with their sparklers. If you ask us, we couldn’t have asked for a better or more fun way to ring in 2012!!

California bridal session | Figueroa Mountain | Tampa destination wedding photographer

This bridal photo session was such an amazing experience. It was such an honor getting the opportunity to work with so many talented and genuinely nice people. We first met Jill La Fleur and Camilla Svensson Burns last March at the 2011 WPPI wedding photography convention in Las Vegas. They are so nice and personable. Even if you’ve never met them before, within 5 minutes of meeting them you will feel like they have been lifelong friends. We had been planning this event for several months and were so excited when the time came to finally fly out to California. As a professional Tampa wedding photographer, we have photographed at so many beautiful Florida locations, but it was so nice getting a chance to go to California and photograph at a completely new location. This part of California, just north of Santa Barbara, is gorgeous. Lots of rolling hills, vineyards and very cool little towns. Our favorite little town was Solvang, a town built like a replica village from Denmark. The town features windmills, Danish bakeries, and some great restaurants!

Davis Island Garden Club wedding | Tampa wedding photographer

The following are some of our favorite images from the recent wedding of John and Glennis who got married at the Davis Island Garden Club. The venue is located next to the waterfront where the Hillsborough River meets Hillsborough Bay/Tampa Bay. This is such a beautiful location for a wedding and as experienced Tampa wedding photographers, this venue provided us with lots of great photo opportunities! Not only does it have great waterfront views, but the gorgeous Tampa skyline provides for some very dramatic backdrops, especially after the sun sets and the city lights light up the night sky.

Glennis got ready at the Sheraton Tampa Riverwalk hotel, which is centrally located in downtown Tampa. Due to it’s close proximity to the University of Tampa, after Glennis got dressed we stopped by the campus and captured some great pre-wedding images there, before heading off to Davis Island for the ceremony and reception. The day was beautiful and everything went along incredibly smoothly. DJ Chuck Amstone was phenomenal as usual and kept everyone dancing and entertained the whole night. He provided a photo booth with was a huge hit with all of the guests. Dinner was superb and we loved watching how the catering team cooked an amazing paella on the very large pan for everyone to admire prior to dinner service. This was a beautiful wedding and a very memorable night for everyone present. We wish John and Glennis a lifetime of happiness and wedded bliss!!

Clearwater wedding | Kapok Tree Special Events | Tampa wedding photographer

The following are some of our favorite pictures from Day 2 of the two day Indian wedding we recently photographed. As we mentioned before, Day 1 took place at the incredibly cool Hindu Temple of Florida, which is located in Tampa. That day involved a marching drum crew, a horse drawn carriage, and an incredibly beautiful and colorful ceremony.

Day 2 was the Christian ceremony and was held at the elegant Kapok Tree Special Events venue that is located in Clearwater, Florida. The day started off for the groom at the Westin Tampa Bay, where he and the groomsmen got ready before being picked up by a stretch Hummer stretch limousine and a gorgeous Rolls Royce. After the beautiful ceremony, everyone celebrated in the grand hall. After dinner, the couple and guests were treated to singing, belly dancing, and lots and lots of dancing. The dance floor was jam packed, and everyone had an amazing time celebrating the joyful union of Cliff and Lisa. As experienced Tampa wedding photographers, we love when we get the opportunity to photograph wonderful Indian weddings like these. They are always grandiose and incredibly fun events. We love the colors, the pageantry and the family centric nature of these events. We are already looking forward to our next event!
