Video | Ybor City love session | Tampa wedding photographer

The following video contains some of our favorite images from a recent destination photo shoot. This couple is from Boston and was flying into the Tampa area for vacation. They contacted us because they wanted to have some professional photos taken that would really show off how much they loved each other. As experienced Tampa wedding photographers, we are always flattered when couples look at our website and love our images so much that they want to hire us to capture some amazing images of them too. We take a lot of pride in what we do and work very hard to capture lots of unique and very special images for all of our clients.

Once we all got to Ybor City and met up, we started walking around and showing them some of our favorite spots. After a few minutes of getting acquainted with everyone, they started to really get comfortable with the photo shoot and we had a lot fun. We really love to get to know all of our couples and find out how they met, what they enjoy to do together and what kind of plans they have for their future. This couple was so cute and we really had a lot in common with them. They love old historic buildings and antique furniture, and that is right up our alley too. On those rare weekends when we don’t have a wedding, engagement session or other portrait session, we really love to check out antique stores or even just sit back on our couch and watch American Pickers or some home remodeling show. So needless to say, we had a great conversation and vibe throughout the photo shoot. We are thrilled at how good the images turned out and would love to photograph this awesome couple the next time they are in the Tampa area or anywhere else they might want us to photograph them!

Josie and Dennis | Powel Crosley Estate wedding | Sarasota wedding photographers

We have been sooooo busy so far this season that we are just now posting images from the amazing wedding of Josie and Dennis. For those of you that visit our blog often, you may recall this beautiful couple from their Ybor City engagement session. They are such a fun couple and you can definitely see that they have a great chemistry together.

They got married at the Powel Crosley Estate, which is a gorgeous mansion located in Sarasota, Florida. This wedding was almost like a fairy tale come to life. It all started with the gorgeous spring day filled with blue sky and some gentle breezes blowing in from the Gulf of Mexico. The couple just radiated love and happiness as they said their “I DO’s” and that glow of love continued to shine through in the images we captured around the estate. You can just see it in the longing stares they would give to each other and the warm smiles that were constantly on their faces when they looked at each other. It was as if each of them couldn’t believe that this moment that they had dreamt about forever was finally here. As experienced Sarasota wedding photographers, these are the moments that make our jobs so satisfying. It is so wonderful to capture these magical moments and preserve these precious memories for a lifetime. We wish Josie and Dennis a lifetime of married bliss and look forward to capturing many more of their important life events in the future.

River Hills Country Club wedding | Tampa wedding photographer | Eva Photo Studio

The following are some of our favorite images from the recent wedding of Madison and Danny. They got married at the River Hills Country Club which is located in Valrico,Florida. Being in Florida, we have some of the best weather on earth and outdoor weddings are very popular, especially in the spring and fall seasons. We had scouted this location prior to the wedding and were really excited by the outdoor location where the ceremony would take place.

Unfortunately on the day of the wedding, a storm front passed through the Tampa Bay area and rain started to fall early in the afternoon and the radar showed no signs of it stopping until early the next day. So the ceremony was moved indoors. The rain didn’t put a damper on anybody’s mood, and the bride and groom were very calm and in great moods. The ceremony was beautiful and the bride & groom were radiating with happiness and joy! And it was as if all that positive energy managed to radiate from within the venue and push the rain away, because just as the ceremony ended, the rain stopped!!! As experienced Tampa wedding photographers, we knew we couldn’t let this opportunity pass and we quickly got everyone outside and started with the group pictures in front of the venue where they had some beautiful flowers as a backdrop. When the rain still hadn’t returned when we finished the group pictures, we quickly went out to the golf course area and took lots of great pictures. Although the sky was overcast, we were getting some great shots and as long as the rain stayed away, we were all happy! But wait….it gets better!! Just before Madison and Danny were scheduled to go back inside and make their grand entrance to their reception, the clouds started to part and the sun started to shine through!!! Woo Hoo!!!!! We grabbed some awesome pictures with the sun and even with the rainbow that appeared as we walked back towards the clubhouse. What an amazing day full of wonderful little moments and memories that everyone will remember forever. We wish Madison and Danny a lifetime of happiness and married bliss!!

Video | The Lake Club at Lakewood Ranch | Sarasota wedding photographer

The following is a video slideshow of some of our favorite images of the recent wedding of RC and Jessica. They got married at The Lake Club at Lakewood Ranch, an exclusive Tuscan inspired private club located just east of Sarasota, Florida. April is such a wonderful time to get married in Florida. The cold spells of winter are done and temperatures are usually in the 70’s with humidity levels that are still very low and comfortable. As experienced Sarasota wedding photographers, we know that those factors make a perfect combination for an outdoor wedding. For those of you that read our blog frequently or follow us on Facebook, you might remember this cute couple. We photographed their engagement session in downtown Tampa and did some pictures with their precious little daughter. They love her so much and everything in their lives revolves around her. They made sure to include her in the wedding. The most touching moment was when midway through their first dance as husband and wife, they brought out their daughter to the dance floor and finished dancing to their song with their precious little angel. Definitely a beautiful sight that made me teary eyed and one that I will always remember.

This couple and their extended family have so much love for each other and it was so heartwarming to have gotten to know this family and capture so many beautiful memories for them. We wish them a lifetime of joy and married bliss.

Video | Davis Island Yacht Club wedding | Tampa wedding photographer

The following are some of our favorite images from the gorgeous wedding of Lucien and Kendra. We first met this beautiful bride a few months ago, when she was visiting from Denver. Although she grew up in Tampa, she was now living in Denver and making a lot of the plans from Colorado. The meeting with her was great and we immediately knew we would get along great with her. We finally met the groom on the wedding day and he couldn’t have been any nicer. So funny and easy to get along with, which made photographing with him very easy! We got started at the Tampa Marriott Waterside Hotel where everyone was getting ready. Once everyone was dressed, we took advantage of how beautiful this hotel is and captured many beautiful pictures before everyone headed out to the ceremony site.

The ceremony and reception took place at the Davis Island Yacht Club, which is such a beautiful location, surrounded by the waters of Tampa Bay. We were a little bit worried that it might rain, as the skies looked threatening for some time. Luckily, it never rained and we just had some wind and cloudy skies which helped create some very cool and dramatic pictures near sunset!

As for the wedding and reception, it was great! There were people who had flown in from all over the country and the world to help celebrate the union of these two amazing people. There were tears of joy and tons of laughter to be had throughout the night. As experienced Tampa wedding photographers, we always take a lot of pride in capturing the many beautiful little moments that make for a memorable wedding day. This wedding had so many precious little moments and we felt really honored to have spent this day and night in the company of so many wonderful people. We wish Kendra and Lucien all the best and a lifetime of married bliss!

Video | Innisbrook Resort wedding | Palm Harbor wedding photographer

You wouldn’t know if from looking at the pictures, but this wedding at the Innisbrook Golf Resort & Spa was almost pushed completely indoors by rain. It rained steadily up until about 30 minutes prior to the start of the outdoor ceremony, when suddenly the rain stopped and the clouds started to yield to some blue sky. As Tampa wedding photographers, we were thrilled, as this allowed us to use the many various outdoor locations that we had scouted and which we knew would give us some great images. The ceremony went off perfectly and we had a great time photographing Johnny and Marie at the various outdoor locations. Incredibly enough, the rain returned literally as we were getting ready to drive over to the reception hall for their grand entrance. What a great blessing!! Although the day started off with everyone worrying about the rain, it magically morphed into a day where everyone just had a ton of fun and celebrated this great couple and their beautiful wedding.

Family portrait session | Trinity, Florida | Tampa portrait photographer

These are some of our favorite images from a recent family portrait sesssion we did for one of our regular clients. It has been so wonderful to watch as this family has grown year over year. The kids all have so much fun together and it is great to see how close and loving they are to each other.

As you can see, each child has their own unique personality and we think that those personalities really shine through in these images.  As Tampa family portrait photographers, we really love getting the chance to get outdoors and have fun with our families.  We find that once kids get to the age where they can walk and run, they really do prefer to be outdoors where they can release all of the boundless energy that they all have.  We always have a lot of fun running around and trying to keep up with all of the kids!  In the end, it is always worth it because we really get to capture how much fun kids are and what a joy they are to have. What a beautiful and fun family!!

Maternity photos | Tampa maternity photographer | Tampa newborn baby photographer

We recently found out that one of our recent brides was expecting a baby. We were so happy for them. We had just photographed their gorgeous wedding last May. Not too long after their wedding, they found out that God would be blessing them with a little angel.

Being a photographer is so rewarding. As Tampa wedding photographers, we get to share in the celebration of each couples love for each other. Weddings are such happy events and we love being a witness to so much love and being able to capture those precious memories for each of our couples. We love the friendships that we develop with our couples and we love to hear back from them and find out about all of the great events that they go through together. One of the happiest events is when they find out they are expecting and a building their own little family.

We are always honored when many of these couples call us to photograph their maternity photos and later on their newborn baby sessions. We love becoming their family photographer and we are always so honored to be able to capture these other wonderful stages of their lives and create some new family treasures and heirlooms. Brandon and Alyssa are such a loving and thoughtful couple. We know that they will make wonderful parents. Their strong belief in God, their family values and the great support of their families will ensure that their little angel will be well taken care of. We are looking forward to his arrival, so that we can capture some beautiful images of him!
