University of South Florida engagement session – Tampa wedding photographers

The following images are from an engagement session we did about 10 days ago. We met Lindsay a few weeks prior and had a great time getting to know her. Her fiancé could not be there for our first meeting, so we were really looking forward to meeting him for the engagement session. Lindsay and Jason met during one of their classes at the University of South Florida, so they wanted for us to photograph their engagement session on the campus. Having photographed at USF several times, we knew that there were several great locations where we could get some amazing images. However, as experienced Tampa wedding photographers, we are never satisfied to just do the same thing over and over, so we planned a scouting trip to the campus prior to the session. We were glad we did. We found several new spots that somehow we hadn’t stumbled on before. That is one the things that continues to excite us about photography. No matter how many times you photograph the same location, we always find new and exciting ways to photograph it.

We met up with Lindsay and Jason around 3:30PM at the beautiful USF Botanical Gardens. Being spring time, the weather was fantastic. Upon starting we were pleasantly surprised by how comfortable Jason was in front of the camera. Guys sometimes take some time to warm up to having their pictures taken but Jason was great from the very beginning. These two make such a great couple and we had a ton of fun with them. We walked all over the campus, talking, laughing, stopping at Starbucks for coffee and taking some great images. One of the things we loved about this session was how much we laughed during the session; especially when at one point when we were getting ready to drive to a new location and realized that we had lost our car keys!! Luckily we were able to backtrack to the most recent location and found them relatively quickly. All in all, we all had a really great time and we can’t wait to see these guys again. We are sure that it will be another fun and memorable experience!!

Sandpearl Resort wedding – Clearwater Beach wedding photographer

We were recently surfing the internet, revisiting some of the websites for past venues that we have photographed at. When we stopped to check out the Sandpearl Resort website, we noticed that they had recently done a whole new redesign of their site. We really liked the new layout and started checking out a lot of the new pages within the site. When we reached the wedding pages, we were VERY HAPPY to see that they selected two of our images from a wedding we photographed there on April 9, 2010. The Sandpearl Resort provided a beautiful backdrop to this fairy tale wedding.

As an experienced Tampa wedding photographers, we love photographing at the many beautiful venues located throughout the Tampa, Clearwater, St. Petersburg, and Sarasota area. It is such an honor, when one of these great venues selects our images to show off the beauty of their site. We want to thank everyone at the Sandpearl Resort for selecting our images and we look forward to photographing many more weddings at your beautiful hotel in the near future. If anyone is looking to get married on the beach and at a world class hotel resort, we highly recommend the Sandpearl Resort. The hotel is incredibly beautiful and the staff is very friendly and accomodating. They will do whatever they can to make your experience there, the very best it can be!

Below are the images that the Sandpearl Resort selected to use on their website:

There were many more beautiful images from that wedding. To see how beautiful the wedding and the Sandpearl Resort are, just check out the video below:

David & Danielle – 1 year anniversary – Tampa wedding photographers

We just photographed an amazing one year anniversary photo session for Danielle and David. We cannot not believe that one year has already passed since their beautiful wedding at the University of South Florida last March. It feels like only yesterday when we were photographing them on that chilly March day. What a difference one year makes. Last year, the temperatures were in the 40’s but this year it was nice and warm.
During our planning discussions with Danielle, she mentioned that she wanted to capture some beautiful images of her and David. Unfortunately, on the day of her wedding it was just too cold and after braving the cold for the outdoor ceremony, everyone was too cold to capture all of the great picture ideas that we had planned. A few minutes after the ceremony, everyone jumped on the hotel buses and headed back to the warm reception hall.

We really wanted to capture some great images for Danielle and David, so we pre-scouted several great locations in downtown Tampa prior to the scheduled photo session. We had some great ideas drawn up and it all was scheduled to start at the new Curtis Hixon waterfront park, located next to the new Glazer Children’s Museum. One of the things that you come to learn as an experienced Tampa wedding photographer, is that no matter how carefully you plan, there will always be unforeseen issues to overcome. But we are always prepared for anything! As we were nearing downtown Tampa, we got a call from Danielle informing us that there was an art show at the park. We figured that it would be a few tents spread out across the park, and that we could work around it. What we didn’t immediately figure out until we arrived, is that it was the weeked for the Raymond James Gasparilla Festival of the Arts. The Gasparilla art festival is huge!! Cars lined up for blocks to get into the parking garages and the park was completely covered in both tents and people! But because we had already scouted many locations, we were totally prepared to start photographing in some other beautiful locations. Yes, there were still lots of people but we had some amazing backdrops to work with and captured some really beautiful images. We also had the opportunity to capture some great images at the beautiful Sacred Heart Catholic Church. After spending a few hours in downtown Tampa, we decided to drive across the bay to the beach, to capture some of the beach pictures that Danielle wanted at sunset. We bought a beautiful red balloon to symbolize their first year of marriage. As always, we had a blast with Danielle and David. Two of the most down to earth and fun people you could meet. We have enjoyed many opportunities to work with them in the past. We photographed their engagement session, their wedding and now their one year anniversary session. We love working with them and hope to capture many more of their future special moments for them.

Below are just a few of our favorite images from this session.

Upcoming venue scouting trip – Hindu Temple of Florida – Tampa wedding photographer

Couples always compliment us on how creative our images are and how we can possibly always have such beautiful locations to photograph. They want to know what is our secret for consistently having fresh new ideas and great backgrounds for our images. Although a lot goes into creating great images, one of the key ingredients is: lots of preparation and scouting of locations. Sure, you could show up to a location an hour early but we prefer to scout locations months in advance and often more than once. Why? Because we feel that by visiting a location with plenty of time to walk around and find unique and beautiful backgrounds is worth it. We take test pictures and take notes about which location would work best for just the bride and groom or which spot is best suited for the larger group pictures. By scouting the location prior to the event, we already have some great ideas to share with the happy couple. The day of the wedding can be very fast paced and having already thought out where to take those special images is priceless and makes the photography flow a lot smoother. As experienced Tampa wedding photographers, we have already photographed many of the most popular wedding venues in Central Florida. But for those times when we will be photographing a venue for the first time, we definitely schedule time to scout that venue prior to the wedding day.

Below are images from one of those venues. In November, we will be photographing at the beautiful Hindu Temple of Florida,which is located in Tampa. Although the wedding there won’t be until November, we scheduled some time recently to scout this location. We were totally blown away by how beautiful this temple is. As we always do when we scout a location, we took many “test” shots to get ideas of what will be the best angles to photograph from and which locations will make for the best backdrop for some gorgeous and dramatic images. We loved these test shots so much that we have decided to publish them for everyone to enjoy.

Wedding video – A La Carte Event Pavilion – Tampa wedding photographer

This is a wedding we recently photographed at the beautiful A La Carte Event Pavilion located in Tampa, FL. Having already photographed their engagement session a few months back, we had already established a great relationship with Ermy and Von. We were looking forward to their wedding, as we knew how much fun they both were and knew that their wedding would be a pleasure to photograph.

We arrived at the venue early (as we always like to do) and started getting photos of all of the arrangements and little details throughout the venue. Everything was set up beautifully and looked very elegant. This venue has so many great and unique photo opportunities, that we just couldn’t wait for the happy couple to arrive. Once they arrived, we started photographing as the bride and groom started getting ready for the ceremony. As you will see, everything turned out perfectly and the day went off without any issues. This is a tribute to the amazing staff at the A La Carte Event Pavilion. We have photographed at a lot of venues, but everybody from this venue was top notch and incredibly helpful and friendly. In particular, we have to shine the spotlight on Lindsay Jimison (the wedding & events planner) who was constantly checking to make sure that everything was perfect for the bride and groom and still found time to check with us to see if there was anything that we needed to make our jobs easier. There were times where we thought that maybe she had a twin, because it seemed like she was in so many places at the same time!

After the ceremony, we took the bride and groom to several beautiful locations within the venue and later we went to take some pictures with the great fountain and garden area located at the front of the venue. As a Tampa wedding photographer, you really can’t ask for more: a great looking couple, an amazing venue, and a gorgeous fall day! Add everything up and we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect wedding.

Video slideshow of our recent wedding at the gorgeous Plantation Golf Resort & Spa located in Crystal River, Florida. We spent the entire day with the bride and groom, and managed to capture how much fun they had during the entire day. Sean woke up early to go golfing with his buddies and Annette spent the morning at the Southern Hills spa getting pampered with her daughters.

Although cold, everyone had a blast and the day was a truly magical experience!

Monica and Brett wedding – video slideshow – St. Petersburg wedding photographer

We have just finished working with wedding images for Monica and Brett. This was such a beautiful wedding and with so much emotion. As a Tampa wedding photographer, you just can’t ask for more: beautiful locations, good looking couple and everyone showing so much emotion…..it just makes for great photographs and memories that everyone can treasure forever. You can just see how much Monica and Brett love each other. The way they look at each other and the way they were overcome with emotion as they said their vows!

This video slideshow captures the beauty and emotion of their wedding day. It is set to the song that Monica and Brett selected for their first dance. I think that you will agree, that the song and images are beautiful together!

To Monica and Brett: We wish the two of you a lifetime of joy and happiness. We hope to photograph many more of your special life events and hope to see you guys again soon, even if it is just to have a cup of coffee at Starbucks and chat.

Sneak Peek!! Monica & Brett wedding – St. Petersburg wedding photographer

Tampa wedding photographers, we have shot many weddings at many beautiful churches throughout the state of Florida, but one of our new favorites is St. Raphael Catholic Church in lovely Snell Isle, which is just a short distance from downtown St. Petersburg. The church has an old chapel a Spanish styled exterior which made for an amazing background. The new church building also was very impressive and provided us with a lot of opportunities for capturing the many special moments of the actual wedding ceremony.

Monica and Brett make such a lovely couple and are so pleasant to be around. We had so much fun with them during their engagement session and couldn’t wait to photograph their wedding. It was so beautiful to listen to their vows as we photographed. You can really tell that these two are so in love so happy to be sharing the rest of their lives together. These moments are what make being a wedding photographer so rewarding!

We took a lot of beautiful images, and below are just a few of our favorites so far. We aren’t finished yet, but wanted to share some of these amazing images for everyone to enjoy. More images will be posted after we finish.

Sneak Peek! Annette and Sean wedding – Crystal River wedding photographer

Here is a sneak peek at some of the beautiful images we captured at the recent wedding of Annette and Sean. They got married at The Plantation Golf Resort and Spa which is located in Crystal River, Florida. From the moment we first sat down with them, we felt an instant connection. They are both so genuinely nice and we knew that photographing their wedding would be very special. Sean graciously booked us a hotel room for the night before and the night of the wedding, which we really appreciated. We started photographing early in the morning. Mauricio left at 8am to photograph Sean and the guys on their 18 hole golf outing. I left soon afterwards, to photograph Annette getting her hair done at the Southern Hills Plantation Club which is located in Brooksville.

Although, we photographed all day, it didn’t feel like work at all. It felt like we were spending a day with longtime friends. We continue to work on the rest of the images, and can’t wait to deliver everything to them soon. We also look forward to hanging out with them again at one of their future parties. We love when we can connect with people and when our clients become future friends.

Sneak peek! A La Carte Event Pavillion wedding – Tampa Wedding Photographer

Here is a sneak peek at a wedding we recently photographed at the gorgeous A La Carte Event Pavillion. If you are a Tampa wedding photographer, you just love this time of year to photograph weddings. The weather is so beautiful and the sun isn’t as harsh as it is during our blistering summer months. You can take your couples outside without fear of them melting under the unrelenting rays of the sun.

We have known Ermy and Von for over a year and if you follow our blog, you will remember the beatiful engagement session we photographed at Honeymoon Island State Park. We were looking forward to this wedding for months, and were so happy to see them again. The day went off flawlessly and the pictures we captured show what a joyous event this was. We still have more images to process but hope to post more pictures soon after we finish working with the remainder of the wedding images.
