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!

Ashley + Mike | 'Sweet' Engagement Session | University of Tampa Wedding Photography

Some of our dear friends, Ashley & Mike, recently got engaged and they are currently planning their destination wedding (on their anniversary) in Jamaica 2013. These two are so gorgeous together and I am so happy for them. I met them back when I attended the University of Tampa (Mike attended UT, while Ashley attended USF), and since this is where the two have spent a majority of their time together, we decided to shoot their engagement session here. One of their favorite things to do together is cook and bake, so we included some sweets in as well, and then we all got to eat cookies together- do we have the best job or what?














We loved shooting this session so much and getting to capture the way that Mike looks at her :)

Krystal + Scott | Sand Key Beach Wedding | Clearwater Wedding Photography

Krystal & Scott were married the Saturday before we left for WPPI on Sand Key Beach in Clearwater. Their ceremony was very intimate with only close friends and family and then a very lively and fun reception was held at the Clearwater Sailing Center for all of their friends and family. This wedding had so many unique details that I loved; postcard guest book, pinwheels, a broche bouquet, and a wishing stone ceremony, along with lots of aqua, peach and sparkly details.





This is the tattoo that Krystal surprised Scott with and has lyrics to a song he loves.




Here is the entire wedding walking down to the water to throw their "wishing stones" in.
















Congrats again you two!
