Destination wedding | Siesta Key, Florida | Sarasota wedding photographer

Sneak Peek!! Some pictures from a recent destination wedding we photographed in Siesta Key beach, which is located just south of Sarasota, Florida. The bride and groom flew down from Pennsylvania to get married in sunny Florida. The day started off very hot but some clouds rolled in and kept the temperatures very comfortable for the rest of the day. We had a great time on the beach. We will post more pictures soon, so stay tuned!

Southern Hills Plantation Club wedding | Tampa wedding photographer

The following are more images from the stunning wedding we photographed at the Southern Hills Plantation Club located in Brooksville, Florida. Prior to the wedding, we already knew we were going to have an amazing time. We had already photographed Jason and Lindsay for their engagement session, so we knew there were a lot of fun and were open to lots of creative ideas from us. Probably our favorite part of the day was when the bride and groom agreed to grab a golf cart to head out to an awesome part of the golf course to photograph some amazing shots that we had pre-visualized when we scouted the venue a few weeks before. The wind blowing past us cooled everyone down before and after we took the photos on the golf course.

We had so much fun, we almost forgot that it was almost 100 degrees on that afternoon. As experienced Tampa wedding photographers we know how hot and humid it can get in the summer, so we are always prepared with great ideas and work quickly. After we got the great shots that we had envisioned, we then drove back to the clubhouse and headed back indoors for some much needed air conditioning. The rest of the night was a blast, as everyone danced the night away to the great music provided by Grant Hemond & Associates!

Florida destination wedding – Palm Coast wedding photographer – www.evaphotostudio.com

We love destination weddings. Being in Florida we get our fair share of them. People love to come down to our beautiful state and have their wedding here. They then either continue their honeymoon here or use Florida as a launching pad to their honeymoon. We recently photographed a beautiful destination wedding for Joanna and Michael. They live in Memphis, Tennessee but drove down to Florida to have their wedding in the gorgeous Palm Coast area. The wedding was held in the scenic Washington Oaks Gardens State Park. The park is absolutely gorgeous and provided us with many incredible photo locations. There were bridges that spanned many little canals and small lakes. There were many tree covered foot paths, and beautiful garden areas. There was a rose garden with a wide variety of fragrant and colorful roses. Just past the rose garden, there were some fantastic views of the waterfront and an old home from the early 20th century. Joanna and Michael were blessed with some gorgeous Florida weather too. July in Florida can be sweltering but on this day, the temperatures were in the mid to low 80’s and the humidity levels were very low. It really felt like a nice autumn day instead of the middle of summer.

To complement the romantic natural setting, the couple had hired a harpist who played some very beautiful music for them to get married to and later to help entertain at their reception. After the ceremony and the formals, we drove a little less than 5 minutes to the beautiful Hammock Beach mansion that the family had rented for the reception and the rest of their Florida stay. Everyone enjoyed the delicious food and drinks that were served and the lovely music that the harpist played during the reception. The entire day and evening was magical and we are so happy to have shared it with this great couple. We wish Joanna and Michael a lifetime of married bliss!

Downtown Tampa engagement session – Tampa wedding photographer – www.evaphotostudio.com

We love photographing engagement sessions. They are a great chance for us to spend some time with the couples that we will be photographing their weddings in a few months. These sessions are a lot of fun and everyone is very relaxed, especially because there aren’t any critical deadlines like there are on the day of the wedding. So as we left our studio for the session, we were super excited. That excitement slowly changed to worry as we neared downtown Tampa. The pretty fluffy white clouds that we had seen when we left, had now turned dark and we could see that it was starting to pour. The downpour continued after we parked and the start of our session was approaching. We worried that perhaps Kristen and Gus might decide to cancel or want to reschedule. Luckily for us, these summer storms don’t last all day and generally clear up after less than an hour. This was the case on this evening and we were able to start just a few minutes after our original start time.

As it turned out, the rain made it much more comfortable to photograph. It cooled down the temperatures and it wasn’t quite as humid. It also allowed us to bring out a large colorful umbrella for some of the early pictures. Kristen and Gus are such a cool couple. They were ready to follow us anywhere for pictures. They also are such a fun couple. They were constantly playing around and laughing. We started at the Glazer Children’s Museum and worked our way towards the Tampa Museum of Art. We played around the fountains at the Curtis Hixon Park before exploring other parts of downtown Tampa. These are some of our favorite shots from the session. Kristen and Gus had no fear and they had no problem stepping into the fountain area for some really romantic pictures. As experienced Tampa wedding photographers, we love when our couples can relax and their true personalities can shine. This was certainly the case with Kristen and Gus. The entire evening was a lot of fun and we are really looking forward to October when we get to photograph their fantastic wedding!
