Ybor Engagement Session | Caitlin + Erik | Tampa Wedding Photography

Happy Friday! We are headed to shoot Sarah and John's wedding today but I wanted to post this gem before the week is officially over (although our week just began). I'll have a ton of posts next week including Ashley and Sean's wedding but for now, I'd like to share this session we did with Caitlin and Erik a few weeks back. I love the colors in these. I love the textures. We can't wait for their wedding at Sacred Heart Church and Centro Asturiano on April 1st- which shows you how much fun these two are ;)










Have a fabulous weekend all!

Selby Gardens Wedding | Candace + Matt | Sarasota Wedding Photography

Matt proposed to Candace at Selby Gardens under the banyan tree,so it was only appropriate to make it official here too. Here in Florida we have about a week of spring and these too were lucky enough to have their wedding during it. Candace loves orchids and has a very green thumb which flowed into the wedding details of natural centerpieces and basil favors. It was such a beautiful and sunny day with that perfect mixture of cool breeze and warmth from the sun. Some days everything works out just perfectly...
















Congrats again to Mr. and Mrs. Smith ;)

Amy + Justin Engagement Session | Tampa Wedding Photographers

We were so excited when Amy wanted us to be part of her and Justin's wedding day because she is an intern for one of our favorite vendors, Elan Event Studio. Amy and Justin have great smiles and didn't even need to practice them all that much for our session. Shooting with them at the University of Tampa campus was a lot of fun, and we enjoyed getting to know them. Amy and Justin will be tying the knot on the other side of the river from UT at the Tampa Museum of Art in October later this year. It's always such a huge compliment when other industry professionals hire you, because they know their stuff!












Amy & Justin totally rocked the engagement session and their modern wedding is going to be stunning!

Sarah + Steve | Laid Back Engagement Session | Palm Beach Wedding Photography

Meeting up with Sarah and Steve for their engagement session was like meeting up with old friends. They are such relaxed and cool people which is why we decided to shoot in downtown St. Petersburg outside of Grand Central Art Supply's graffiti wall and then at The Chattaway for burgers and beer (Happy St. Patty's Day). Sarah and Steve's June wedding is going to be particularly cool for us. First, because Sarah's family is great friends with Evan's family and members of the same church. Sarah is also a graduate of Dreyfoos School of the Arts, she was a senior when we were freshman. But most importantly her mom was the Dean of the Visual Arts department during our attendance and one of my fine arts teachers. So we are deeply honored to be artistically involved in this important day of their lives. There is also a very good chance that several of our old teachers will be in attendance at the wedding, including my photography teacher of 4 years, so it will be important to impress the pants off of everyone. It'll be really fun to see everyone and show them how much our education there has influenced us.












Steve spilled some beer (okay, a lot of beer) so Sarah took over pouring.



This wedding is going to have the most amazing details and we are pretty sure it is going to be a ton of fun to shoot too!

The Entourage | Loren + Bridesmaids | Tampa Wedding Photography

Loren is marrying Rick this coming May, and since Loren is so very kick ass herself she of course has some kick ass bridesmaids. We met up with Loren, Danielle, Jenny and Bonnie at Little Brooklyn Vintage in downtown St. Petersburg for a fun bridesmaids shoot. The girls sifted through the amazing selection of clothes and found their favorite pieces and then we had a little fashion show- a la The Sweetest Thing. We then ventured around downtown for some fun portraits (with rain boots!) and bridesmaid bonding.




Bonnie, Loren, Danielle and Jenny :)



I absolutely adore this portrait of all 4 of them, very America's Next Top Model, no?




This shoot was a ton of fun and such a great gift for Loren to give to her very best friends. I cannot wait to see them all again at the wedding in 2 months!
