Emily and Les's Engagement Reveal: Tampa Wedding and Engagement Photographer

Emily and Les are from Texas and they are flying in for their Florida wedding on July 2nd which will take place in Anna Maria Island. While they were here a couple of months ago, they left an entire day open in their schedule to do engagement photos with us!

We took photos at the University of Tampa and at the Columbia Restaurant in Ybor. Emily looks at Les with a love and trust in her eyes that is absolutely unique and breathtaking. I feel so honored to be entrusted with their love story and I really can't wait to photograph their wedding in a few short days!

Please enjoy the slideshow for Emily and Les's engagement photos. Feel free to turn your speakers on and press play when you're ready! Enjoy!

Cortney and Jerry's Country Engagement Sneak Peek - Tampa Wedding and Engagement Photographer

Cortney and Jerry wanted to do something a bit different than my usual style for their engagement photos. They wanted something reflective of their personalities with a Western/Country themed location. We spent a lot of time searching for the perfect backdrop and finally we hit the jackpot when Cortney lucked upon a really awesome place.

Jerry, like a lot of grooms isn't a huge fan of getting his photo taken but he was very cooperative and we were able to get some fantastic shots! This is just a sneak peek for now of some of our favorites from their engagement session, so enjoy!







We normally do the ring shot on the wedding day but I just had to grab this one during the engagement session for it's unique scale! :-) Isn't her ring absolutely gorgeous!?!










For this shot, we were almost out of daylight so we put an off camera flash behind Cortney and Jerry to rim light them and separate them from the dark background.


Until next time...

Melissa and Nathan's Wedding Sneak Peek : Tampa Wedding Photographer

Melissa and Nathan flew in from New York for a wedding at the Grand Hyatt in Tampa. Their guests flew in from all over the place to be a part of their big day. You may remember Melissa and Nathan from the fabulous IKEA engagement session we did with them a few months back.

Melissa and Nathan opted to do a first look and it was absolutely beautiful! More details and information coming soon. But for now, here are a few sneak peek photos from their special day!

Ingrid and Emrah "The rain can't hold us down" Tampa Engagement and Wedding Photographer

Ingrid and Emrah flew into Florida from another country to get married here. Since they were only here for a few days and had hired me to photograph their wedding, they also wanted to squeeze an engagement session in. The only day we could do it during their stay, mother nature decided to give us the worst weather of the entire year.

So, we decided to turn their engagement session that was planned for outside at a beautiful park into a studio engagement session. I have to say that shooting an engagement session in a studio was a challenge since I am such a compositional and artistic photographer. But, the moments and close up shots that we were able to get in the studio were awesome between Ingrid and Emrah! These two love one another so much!

Published!!

Happy Monday everyone! This morning, Lemon and Lavender, a popular and fabulous blogsite published Melissa and Nathan's fun IKEA engagement session!!! I am so happy that they got featured because as a photographer, this is one of my favorite sessions. It was fun and different and most importantly, Melissa and Nathan were completely in love and were able to fill all the inbetween moments themselves.

Tampa Engagement Photographer : IKEA : Melissa and Nathan's Reveal

Melissa and Nathan contacted us to photograph their wedding for May of 2011. They're planning their entire wedding from New York, where they both live. They had already done an engagement session with a local NY photographer that encompassed the city that they both love.

So, when they decided to book us for an engagement session when they flew into town to meet with and select other vendors for their wedding, we knew we wanted to do something different and unique. Melissa and Nathan's Manhattan apartment is decked out in furniture from IKEA and they both have a young spirited attitude and love to have fun together. So, we decided to call in a favor with one of our friends at IKEA to get permission to do their engagement session there.

We are the first photographers in our area to do an engagement session at IKEA and we were only able to find 3 other sessions blogged about an IKEA engagement session anywhere in the world! So, we just love how unique this shoot was!

We had an absolute blast. We took photos all over the place and did silly things. This was one of my favorite engagement sessions ever!

We hope you enjoy the full reveal slideshow!!

Tampa Wedding Photographer: Sneak Peeks!!

Hello out there! We have been shooting non-stop recently and I am in the process of editing all kinds of amazing sessions! I wanted to post a few photos from each shoot that I've been editing because I am so excited about our new work!

First up, we have Britt's Bridal photos! Britt and Josh are already married but contacted me because she wanted to get back in her one of a kind, gorgeous wedding gown and have us take some artistic photos of her! I was able to get the amazing Tampa Museum of Art to let us come in 2 hours before they opened up for part 1 of this shoot! Here are a couple teasers!




Then, on another night, Britt and her husband Josh got dolled up again.. this time she wore her hair up and wore gold shoes instead of pink! I absolutely love how fabulous Britt looked! We did part 2 completely at night time to get some really artistic, dramatic photos!




Next up, we have Jennifer's Maternity photos! She came from Orlando to have us photograph her and she brought her husband, Tim and their adorable little girl, Ky with her! Here are a couple sneak peeks! Jen looks so beautiful and we can't wait to photograph the newborn baby boy!




Next up, we have Julie and Scottie's wedding! We actually are done editing their photos but they're not coming for their reveal until Mid March so we're keeping them a surprise until then! Julie and Scottie booked us way in advance for their beautiful wedding at Lange Farm in Dade City, FL. I looked forward to this wedding for almost a year and a half and it was so beautiful!






Next up, we have Missy and Barry's engagement photos! We're going to be shooting their wedding in May! They brought their Great Dane, Gracie for a few photos and we had a blast!




Next up, we have the beautiful Nina. Nina was married out of the country and Carnival Cruise Lines took her bridal photos. She wanted something a bit more artistic and more beautiful photos in her wedding dress so she got us to take some amazing images of her in her beautiful Demitrios bridal gown! We also made a pit stop at the State Fair, where her husband Larry met up with us and joined in a few photos. The official batmobile was there this year and since we shot our bride Kori in the batcopter last year, it was only natural we'd shoot Nina and Larry with the Batmobile..




Next up.. Boudoir.. and you don't have to close your eyes for these tasteful images. We recently launched our boudoir company.. Boudoir Bellas Photography ( www.BoudoirBellas.com ) and we decided to start offering studio boudoir sessions in addition to our luxury location shoots! Miss W. was our first studio bella and we had a blast shooting her!





Last but not least, I finally got around to editing some photos of a beautiful bride and groom that we had the pleasure of photographing in Las Vegas! I absolutely love these photos!







Until next time.. we hope you enjoyed your stay in our photo lounge!
