Tampa Florida Sessions

Sam and Brandon

 I was super lucky to have Sarah by my side on this trip. Just the car ride there and back was enough to write a short story on. I will sum our trip up in the car by saying the following...,Hansel and Gretel, yogi bear, getting lost, deer, pulled over by cops, thong and the 3am giggles.

Ok now onto the important stuff....

First I want to thank Brandon and Sam for being so wonderful and flexible during their wedding day. It was such a breath of fresh air to have so much time to photograph just the bride and groom. Next I want to shout out to Sam's mom Berny for being AMAZING to Sarah and I.

We started the day at Kellogg Manor house by photographing the emotional getting ready process of Sam.

 Then we separated. Sarah went off with the guys and I took the girls. It was perfect outside with a slight breeze. The ceremony was beautiful minus my 70-200 fall off and me jumping to catch it (i swear i heard gasps behind me). Of course we finished pictures of family and enjoyed over an hour of photo time with the bride and groom. This was delightful! So relaxing and we accomplished so much. :)
The reception was at the Lawton Community center and there was a really neat museum inside.

All together a marvelous day!

Whitney and Sean

I am such a lucky girl to have met Whitney and Sean. They really were such a fun couple to work with. Gorgeous dress, makeup, hair, location, flowers and yes I could go on and on!

Enjoy these images!

An Unforgettable Wedding

Erica and Marshall had a beautiful wedding at the Brookshire. I totally recommend this venue to brides. Everything was gorgeous from the clean designed cake to the pop of color as their centerpieces. I adore the style of chairs in the reception area.

This was such a touching moment. The commitment to one another and a kiss on the hand.

One of my favorite candids is when the bride and groom are announced. I love how Marshall is being attacked by falling rice and Erica still looks stunning through it all.

Best wishes to this beautiful couple! Thank you for allowing me to capture your day.

Tampa Wedding

Last month I traveled once again to my favorite state (besides ohio ;)  ). This was my second wedding in Florida in less than 10 days! I was so excited to cover Amber and Jesse's exciting day. Amber had kept me up to date all year on what to expect and all of the beautiful details she was planning. They even agreed to meet before the ceremony  that way they could enjoy their own cocktail hour. It was very humid and like usual a threat for rain. As we drove to the meeting site we covered Jesse's eyes with a towel (quite the site and I was laughing the entire way) and Amber sat in the front seat not looking back. Pictures before the ceremony are so emotional! The bride and groom are soooo nervous before they see each other and once they do tears can form and huge smiles turn contagious. It was overall a beautiful night filled with close friends and family. All of Amber's hard work and planning paid off. A night never forgotten!

Best wishes to two beautiful people inside and out!
