Real Wedding: Siobhan + Mike! Wedding at Sheraton Suites Tampa

Siobhan and Mike tied the knot in July and our very good mutual friend, Sam, officiate. I absolutely love when a couple has someone close to them perform the ceremony. It is so much more personal than having someone you don't know marry you. Siobhan and Mike's wedding was filled with fun colors, music (the bridal party danced down the aisle following the ceremony) and they also included a Studio Booth in their festivities.




Our favorite feature of the Sheraton Suites Tampa is the amazing atrium in the middle of the hotel. Siobhan entered the ceremony from the glass elevator that carried her from the top floor down to the aisle where Mike was waiting for her.







I'll be posting the Studio Booth pics next, so stay tuned!

Real Wedding: Pamela + Dennis Palm Beach, FL

Pam and Dennis were married back in June in my hometown of Boynton Beach, FL. Our Dad's grew up together, so this was a really fun wedding to attend because along with her family, I knew many of the guests. )Her parents came all the way over to St. Pete to watch Evan and I tie the knot 3 years ago). My Dad and grandfather both attended this wedding, so it was really fun to have them watch Evan and I in action. Pam looked absolutely stunning and the first bridal portrait is on a lot of our marketing materials now. It's so funny how quick, rushed photo ops can sometimes come out to be "the" picture of the day.



















I got my Dad to dance with me at some point during the evening which always really more of a train wreck. Even Evan and I got a chance to squeeze in a few minutes of dancing which is the best when we can make it happen :)

Sneak Peek: Laura & Randy's Southern Wedding

I have quite a few weddings to post, so to get you and myself excited for what's to come, I wanted to share an image from the wedding we shot on my birthday a few weeks ago up in The Villages, FL.

Choosing just one image to share is soooo hard. Laura allotted over 2 hours for portraits and we got some truly amazing images that will soon be canvases in our studio :) The colors in their portraits are so incredible... but I'll leave that for their full post. For now, this black and white image conveys a little bit of mystery to me.
