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...

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!
