Tampa Wedding Photography – Your Story By Us

They came bearing props, dressed to kill, and brimming with energy and enthusiasm.  In Ybor City…one of our favorite places to shoot.  So let’s just say we were simply in our glory for this engagement session!!!  We had a blast with Peter and Sinoeun and cannot wait for their wedding next month!!

P.S.  Check out her shoes….um yeah, Liz was in love….

We’re not trying to take sides or anything……but Sinoeun seems to be a little bit better at sketching…

We first encountered Mike and Ashley when we photographed Mike’s sister Angela’s wedding to Cliff earlier this year.  So we were beyond thrilled when we heard from Ashley about scheduling a maternity session!  Ashley braved the heat on a summer morning to get some amazing photos with Mike at Anastasia State Park.  Congratulations on the birth of your beautiful little boy Brycen Steele!!  Yes with that name he is going to be a rock star!!

There seems to be some discrepancy as to who Brycen is going to be rooting for!

This was one amazing wedding day absolutely bursting with emotion.  During the ceremony at Iglesia Ni Cristo Church of Christ, the sentiment was so evident that it was nearly tangible.  Megan simply could not hold back the tears as she promised to be Eric’s forever.  The reception at Renaissance Resort at World Golf Village was jam packed with joy.  We saw so many amazing performances by Megan & Eric’s family and friends….wow what a talented bunch!!

You may remember Kaitlin & Ben from their amazing engagement session (see here) in Downtown St Augustine. We knew after working with them during their engagement session that we were going to have a seriously amazing time at this wedding! Kaitlin had mentioned to us a couple of times that her father used to be a photographer and was a serious fan of our work which we were ecstatic to hear! Ben also happened to be quite the handyman…he built the altar they stood under as they promised to love each other forever. It was pure joy being near them throughout the day…you just couldn’t avoid the happiness that everyone shared with each other. Kaitlin and Ben were married on the anniversary of her parents’ wedding and to honor them, she passed her bouquet off to her mother in tribute.  And to top it all off, we witnessed some of the most touching & sincere toasts we have ever heard.

Debbie and Luis sang to each other.  They sang. Right there on the altar in whispers so low only the two of them could hear.  They lit the unity candle symbolizing the joining of their lives as they whispered the lyrics to “The Prayer.”  The most striking thing about it was the expressions on their faces…they beamed joy and peace knowing they had found each other.  A masquerade style reception followed the beautiful ceremony and it was so much fun to watch the masked first dance.  After many beautiful speeches toasting the newlyweds, the party really began….and well…let’s just say these people know how to party!

And this was just about the point where the reception devolved into glorious madness
