Their wedding day was on a gorgeous March day with wonderful weather and was perfect for their outdoor ceremony. The entire day went off beautifully and everyone had a blast. Dana and Rob are such a fun couple and their bridal party was too. Everyone spent the entire day laughing and having fun, which truly made this a day long celebration of their love for each other.

Video | Innisbrook Resort wedding | Palm Harbor wedding photographer

You wouldn’t know if from looking at the pictures, but this wedding at the Innisbrook Golf Resort & Spa was almost pushed completely indoors by rain. It rained steadily up until about 30 minutes prior to the start of the outdoor ceremony, when suddenly the rain stopped and the clouds started to yield to some blue sky. As Tampa wedding photographers, we were thrilled, as this allowed us to use the many various outdoor locations that we had scouted and which we knew would give us some great images. The ceremony went off perfectly and we had a great time photographing Johnny and Marie at the various outdoor locations. Incredibly enough, the rain returned literally as we were getting ready to drive over to the reception hall for their grand entrance. What a great blessing!! Although the day started off with everyone worrying about the rain, it magically morphed into a day where everyone just had a ton of fun and celebrated this great couple and their beautiful wedding.

Family portrait session | Trinity, Florida | Tampa portrait photographer

These are some of our favorite images from a recent family portrait sesssion we did for one of our regular clients. It has been so wonderful to watch as this family has grown year over year. The kids all have so much fun together and it is great to see how close and loving they are to each other.

As you can see, each child has their own unique personality and we think that those personalities really shine through in these images.  As Tampa family portrait photographers, we really love getting the chance to get outdoors and have fun with our families.  We find that once kids get to the age where they can walk and run, they really do prefer to be outdoors where they can release all of the boundless energy that they all have.  We always have a lot of fun running around and trying to keep up with all of the kids!  In the end, it is always worth it because we really get to capture how much fun kids are and what a joy they are to have. What a beautiful and fun family!!

Maternity photos | Tampa maternity photographer | Tampa newborn baby photographer

We recently found out that one of our recent brides was expecting a baby. We were so happy for them. We had just photographed their gorgeous wedding last May. Not too long after their wedding, they found out that God would be blessing them with a little angel.

Being a photographer is so rewarding. As Tampa wedding photographers, we get to share in the celebration of each couples love for each other. Weddings are such happy events and we love being a witness to so much love and being able to capture those precious memories for each of our couples. We love the friendships that we develop with our couples and we love to hear back from them and find out about all of the great events that they go through together. One of the happiest events is when they find out they are expecting and a building their own little family.

We are always honored when many of these couples call us to photograph their maternity photos and later on their newborn baby sessions. We love becoming their family photographer and we are always so honored to be able to capture these other wonderful stages of their lives and create some new family treasures and heirlooms. Brandon and Alyssa are such a loving and thoughtful couple. We know that they will make wonderful parents. Their strong belief in God, their family values and the great support of their families will ensure that their little angel will be well taken care of. We are looking forward to his arrival, so that we can capture some beautiful images of him!

Jamie and Eva | Hammock Beach Resort wedding | Palm Coast wedding photographer

The following are some of our favorite images from the wedding of Eva and Jamie. We met Eva and Jamie several months ago and instantly connected with them. I particularly loved how much I had in common with Eva: same first name, a shared love of dogs, and we were both from Europe!! Meeting with Eva and Jamie was such a pleasant experience. They are so warm and personable and we felt an instant connection with them when we first met them. We talked a ton about how they met, their wedding plans and many other things. After meeting with them, we knew that we really wanted to photograph their wedding and capture how much they loved each other.

As Jacksonville wedding photographers, we were so excited to photograph this wedding. The morning of the wedding, we woke up and saw that the forecast called for a 60%+ chance of rain! We prepared our equipment and made plans for how we would photograph if it did rain. We always like to be prepared for anything. As we arrived at the resort, the skies looked like rain was imminent. The resort staff had prepared an indoor area for a ceremony, just in case. Luckily the rain didn’t come, and the outdoor ceremony proceeded as scheduled. Better still, during the ceremony the dark clouds parted and the sun came out for good. What a great sign for Jamie and Eva! After the ceremony, we headed over to the beautiful golf course that runs parallel to the Atlantic Ocean. We got some great shots there and overlooking the beach. We also took advantage of the many beautiful areas within the resort before heading back to the yacht for the reception. The whole day was a lot of fun and we were really sad at the end of the night when we had to leave. We look forward to seeing them again whenever we go back to the Hammock Beach Resort to photograph many future weddings!

Video | Family Portrait session | Tampa portrait photographer

We have been so busy over the past couple of months with a lot of local sessions, one in California and another recent one on the east coast of Florida, that we inadvertently forgot to blog one of our favorites. We have photographed this wonderful family before and were very happy to get another opportunity to photograph them again at the end of 2011. This is such a close knit family and we love to see how much fun they all have together. We photographed part of the session at a wonderful local park and lake, which had a lot of beautiful waterside backdrops for our pictures. We brought along one of our chairs and got some cool pictures of the girls, who were having a lot of fun modeling for us. We later drove over to one of our other favorite locations and focused a little bit on one of the kids favorite activities….soccer!! Out came their favorite soccer ball and their playful personalities again.

Again, we had a ton of fun. As professional Tampa family portrait photographers, we realize that the way to get the best and most natural looking pictures, is to make sure that everyone is having a lot of fun. We love just going out and doing lots of fun stuff, interacting with our clients, finding out about all of the interesting things that they do and capturing some great images inbetween all the fun. I think this session shows what a fun day this was!
