Tampa Wedding Photography – Your Story By Us

This was the kind of day where the weather simply refused to cooperate!!  The rain taunted us over and over again…stopping just long enough to get our hopes up…only to start again just as we brought Mary & Chris outside to take photos.  But all of that didn’t even phase them as they were just so happy the big day had finally arrived.  Their smiles lasted the entire day…all the way through to their awesome exit from the reception complete with Gator pom-poms!!!

Martin & Oriana have this beautiful quiet elegance about them. They are genuinely compassionate, very much in love, and wow can they dance! The spirit of celebration at this Albanian wedding was truly inspiring with wonderful music and really beautiful dancing. It was amazing to see so much joy and liveliness on the dance floor, and that spirit is something we will not forget.

It was a chilly winter day in St Augustine when Tracy and Brian said I do.  But the chilly weather didn’t put a damper on the amazing spirit of joy in the air.  Tracy and Brian laughed and smiled the whole day from the beautiful ceremony all the way through to the rockin’ reception.  We had a ton of fun riding around St Augustine on the trolley with them stopping at some amazing places to take photos!!

Loved the cuff links!

Katrina & Shane’s wedding simply oozed with modern vintage style and personal touches.  They share a love for clean lines, great style, and the color gray (with their signature splashes of purple and blue!)  The sweet indie vibe provided one of the most whimsical and fun wedding day soundtracks that we have ever heard.  During the unique and touching ceremony at the Unitarian Universalist Church of St Petersburg, Katrina’s brother presided over the I do’s, and during one of the charming and inspiring readings, they were reminded of the importance of kindness, laughter, balance, choosing to be married each and every day, and of course, since they are both architects, the importance of a good foundation   The reception at NOVA535 was a ton of fun and we absolutely love the industrial ambience there with all of the brick texture and dramatic lighting.  It was a beautiful day for an awesome couple and we were so honored to be there to capture it all!!

The texture on her dress was amazing…

Her petticoat was a family heirloom.

Her grandmother’s ring was stunning!!

Now that is one good looking bridal party!!

During a quick prayer prior to the ceremony, Katrina’s mom was thankful that these two were brought together.

Not only did we love Katrina’s birdcage veil for the vintage glam touch it added to her ensemble, but they also used a photo of it to add a rich pattern to invitations, programs, and their cd favors.

Hands down, Katrina wins the award for the best surprised face…EVER…
