Ybor engagement session | Tampa wedding photographer | Eva Photo Studio

Some of our favorite images from a recent engagement session we photographed in Ybor City. As experienced Tampa wedding photographers, we just love photographing engagement sessions. These sessions allow us to spend time with our couples and get to know them better. They are always relaxed and a lot of fun. We get to find out more about how they met, their unique love stories and each couple gets to know our personalities and shooting style. This is great because on their wedding day, they feel much more comfortable with us and they are much more relaxed and this results in great pictures on their wedding day!

We had so much fun on this session. We walked around Ybor and found some great locations. Dennis and Josie were both so much fun to hang out with and were always open to all of our photo ideas. We are thrilled by the results and cannot wait to photograph their upcoming wedding at the Powel Crosley Estate.

St. Petersburg engagement session | downtown & Dali Museum | St. Petersburg wedding photographer

We recently photographed this beautiful engagement session with Dana and Rob, who will be getting married in March. For their engagement session, they picked downtown St. Petersburg. Many people have a misconception about St. Pete and think that it is still a sleepy little city for retirees. As experienced St. Petersburg wedding photographers, we know that is no longer the case! St. Petersburg is now a vibrant city with a vibrant nightlife and lots of great street cafes, art galleries and world class museums. It also boasts some great parks and spectacular waterfront views.

We started of the session on the grounds of the St. Petersburg Museum of Fine Arts, which is housed in a very beautiful building with some great architectural features. After shooting there for a little bit, we moved on to Straub Park next door where there are some amazing banyan trees with some amazing trunk and root structures. After getting lots of cool shots at the museum and the park, we took a break to let our couple change clothes and then headed south to the new Salvador Dali Museum. The new building housing so many priceless paintings of this great artist, is itself an amazing feast for the eyes. Inspired by the Salvador Dali surroundings, we experimented with many different angles and composition elements. Rob and Dana were very open to our artistic vision and ideas, and we just spent the afternoon having a lot of fun with this awesome couple. The hours melted away and before we knew it sunset was upon us. After doing some romantic sunset pictures we called it a day. We can’t wait until their March wedding!

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!
