Tampa Florida Sessions

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!

My 2nd Home

As many know my family and I travel to Clearwater, FL. several times a year. I have always wanted to do a wedding on the beach there. It is like a 2nd home to me. So inviting and just a sense of calmness. When I found out Nicole was traveling there to have a destination wedding I knew now or never! Chatted with her on facebook quite a bit and finally we signed a contract! So June arrived and I flew down there for a quick 24 hours. It was such a great time and reassured me that destination weddings were another area I wanted to cover!

The weather was perfect, well almost perfect! It was slighty cloudy with a nice hint off sunshine. Everything ran really smooth up until the bride was getting ready to walk down the aisle. What do you know?! It decided to rain, but only for a few minutes. Typical Florida weather!!! The coordinator wiped the chairs down and everything restarted. Nicole glowed and smiled ear to ear as she walked toward Tony. They are quite adorable together! From there we walked the beach with the bridal party and really enjoyed the light we had. I captured so many beautiful images. Look on the website soon and you will notice a their very own gallery!
Congratualtions Tony and Nicole! I wish you many years of happiness.

Goodnight Clearwater

Well it just was not long enough or was it?! We are ready to get back home and see the kids. The next month will be very crazy busy. Countdown to Brody, sessions, wedding, sessions and more sessions. So goodnight Clearwater and we will see you soon!

Breezy Beach Session

The session above was a great casual session. We did have very very breezy..no windy conditions to work with. Constantly stopping to fix and comb out hair. The results prove our patience with the wind worked! Congrats to K on her senior year!

Amy and Kevin

I really enjoy coming to Clearwater! Especially when I get to meet my soon to be bride and groom. Amy found out I was coming in before their wedding in May and made a quick weekend trip from Orlando to meet me. As you see the weather was PERFECT with a slight breeze.

Clearwater in April

I announced earlier this month that we would be heading to Clearwater,FL. in April.
I have two sessions left for April 19th at Clearwater Beach. If you are interested please email me. I look forward to seeing everyone!
