I’m very excited to share that the Don Cesar used one of my images for their current ad in Bride’s Florida.  Very cool!

This last weekend we had a wonderful time with Jenny & Kevin at their wedding.  I couldn’t resist posting a few images.  I will have their wedding day slideshow up shortly as well.  Enjoy!

Kristen and Matt were married last April in Tampa.  We started with coverage at the Hilton in Ybor and from there went to Sacred Heart in downtown Tampa for the ceremony.  The reception was then held at Higgins Hall.  Kristen and Matt were such a great couple to work with and the whole day went just perfect.  Kristen got her dress at C.C.’s in St. petersburg and Sacino’s provided the tuxedos.  Jacob with Music on the Move was their dj, Chad Wheelan did the video coverage, Amy Louis the floral, and Catering by the Family provided food and beverage as well as the wedding cake.  Enjoy!!

Wow, I can’t believe that 2009 past us by that quickly.  The new year is always a great time to think back on what took place the previous year.  I think for me the thing that stands out the most is how much our boys have changed and how they are growing up so fast.  Along with that I am so thankful for all the wonderful clients we were able to get to know along the way and I’m looking forward to all the new relationships we will develop this year.  It’s also a great time to get back on track with the “at least once a week” blog posts  I’m sure everyone will enjoy all the new posts and I’m planning on making that priority over the next few weeks.

Have a great 2010!!!

Today’s blog post is from another March wedding that we had this year.  Kyle and Matt’s wedding took place at Palma Ceia United Methodist Church in Tampa and their reception was at the Italian Club in Ybor City.  Those are both two beautiful venues and we had such a great time with Kyle and Matt.  As a bonus the March weather was absolutely beautiful that day as well.  Enjoy!

Okay, so I’m getting back on track with finishing posting all the weddings from this year.  I’ve decided to post another album layout as it’s a good way to show a final product.  Joanna and Scott’s ceremony took place on the beach at Fort Desoto Park attended by close friends and family.  March is such a perfect time of year to plan an outdoor wedding and the weather was just beautiful.  Enjoy!

Okay, so I just can’t resist posting these images ahead of everything else I have on my list.  Jodi and Eric’s wedding was a last minute booking for me and I always believe things work out for a reason.  Their wedding took place over in Vero Beach on the East Coast.  They put us up in the beautiful Vero Beach Hotel and Spa.  Their wedding and reception took place up the road a little ways at the Vero Beach Club and the ceremony was held right on the beach attended by their close friends and family.  After the reception we went back to the Vero Beach Hotel and took sunset images with Jodi and Eric and their kids.  We had such an awesome time with them and we all ended up getting in the water for some really cool images.  This was the first time I’ve had a bride and groom wanting to get right in the water for pictures and I think it was well worth the effort.  Enjoy!

This post is from Sophie and Darren’s Engagement Session.  We photographed their Engagement Session in February for their May wedding at the Vinoy.  Sophie and Darren chose to do one of our new Albums that we are designing from our Engagement Sessions.  This Album is then used as a guest sign in book and ends up being a beautiful keepsake filled with notes from all your guests and family who attended the wedding.  That is the reason for the blank areas left in the layout.  This first image is the photo for the cover.  The cover is a photo wrap so the right hand side of the picture is the front of the cover and the left hand side is the back of the cover and the image wraps all the way around the spine of the album  We have been doing a lot of these albums lately and I just love how they turn out.
