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!

University of South Florida engagement session – Tampa wedding photographers

The following images are from an engagement session we did about 10 days ago. We met Lindsay a few weeks prior and had a great time getting to know her. Her fiancé could not be there for our first meeting, so we were really looking forward to meeting him for the engagement session. Lindsay and Jason met during one of their classes at the University of South Florida, so they wanted for us to photograph their engagement session on the campus. Having photographed at USF several times, we knew that there were several great locations where we could get some amazing images. However, as experienced Tampa wedding photographers, we are never satisfied to just do the same thing over and over, so we planned a scouting trip to the campus prior to the session. We were glad we did. We found several new spots that somehow we hadn’t stumbled on before. That is one the things that continues to excite us about photography. No matter how many times you photograph the same location, we always find new and exciting ways to photograph it.

We met up with Lindsay and Jason around 3:30PM at the beautiful USF Botanical Gardens. Being spring time, the weather was fantastic. Upon starting we were pleasantly surprised by how comfortable Jason was in front of the camera. Guys sometimes take some time to warm up to having their pictures taken but Jason was great from the very beginning. These two make such a great couple and we had a ton of fun with them. We walked all over the campus, talking, laughing, stopping at Starbucks for coffee and taking some great images. One of the things we loved about this session was how much we laughed during the session; especially when at one point when we were getting ready to drive to a new location and realized that we had lost our car keys!! Luckily we were able to backtrack to the most recent location and found them relatively quickly. All in all, we all had a really great time and we can’t wait to see these guys again. We are sure that it will be another fun and memorable experience!!
