Tampa Family Photography for the “T” Family

December 22, 2016

I have known the “T” family for quite some time, Emory and Jackie’s youngest daughter have been friends since preschool. Their Tampa family photography session was a great way to catch up with them and see their beautiful kids. We are so happy that Jackie was just elected State Representative for District 60 in Tampa. It was a well deserved win!

Westshore Yacht Club Wedding Photography for Kyle and Megan

December 20, 2016

Tampa waterfront weddings are so incredibly beautiful- especially in December (yeah…us Floridians are pretty lucky!), and especially at the Westshore Yacht Club. Megan and Kyle are the perfect yin and yan….two halves that together complete wholeness. She is elegant, reserved, kind, and smart. He is outgoing, silly, caring, and “the best damn salesman on the planet”. Together they are such a complimentary pair. The bride and groom chose to do a “First Look”, in part to calm their nerves and in part to allow them more time to relax and enjoy their guests. Not only did they have a gorgeous waterfront view to say their vows in front of but they were blessed with a stunning Tampa sunset- and a waterfront reception that captured the Bay’s breezes. It was pretty much the perfect wedding day- and we are so very happy for them! tampa-wedding-photographers-at-westshore-yacht-club_0001 Megan looked stunning in her wedding gown from The White Closet. It fit her like a glove! (She looks this amazing AND she is in PA school..gorgeous and SMART!) tampa-wedding-photographers-at-westshore-yacht-club_0007 Kyle and the guys were quite stylish in their deep blue tuxedos. (Kyle knows a thing or two about fashion…being that he was once a toilet paper model! :)) I absolutely LOVE when brides have their bridesmaid in unique bridesmaids dresses that allow each girl to flatter her own body type and skin tones. It creates such a beautiful dynamic. tampa-wedding-photographers-at-westshore-yacht-club_0012 The “First Look”…Megan teased Kyle a bit by not letting him look immediately- he was DYING! tampa-wedding-photographers-at-westshore-yacht-club_0020 The wedding ceremony was waterfront, right on Tampa Bay by the boats (perfect for these two who love the water- and fishing!) tampa-wedding-photographers-at-westshore-yacht-club_0027 Even though the couple did a First Look, Kyle was still tearful when he saw his bride come down the aisle. Oh that Tampa sunset…it will never get old….especially on wedding day! tampa-wedding-photographers-at-westshore-yacht-club_0035 The first dance for the bride and groom…with the most colorful sky as their backdrop! The groom and his mom shared some laughs. Megan’s dad surprised her with an emotional slideshow of images from her childhood during the father-daughter dance. tampa-wedding-photographers-at-westshore-yacht-club_0040 How about a dessert TABLE that included multiple cakes AND donuts? YES please! Can you spot the bride and groom? This dance floor was packed! tampa-wedding-photographers-at-westshore-yacht-club_0048 Special thanks to all of the amazing vendors who helped in making Kyle and Megan’s wedding so special and beautiful:

St. Petersburg Engagement Session for Nadia and Shay

December 19, 2016

What a beautiful engagement session with Nadia and Shay! The two met through mutual friends, but weren’t set up together. After hanging out they soon realized that there was a spark! Nadia is an esthetician and is very comfortable in front of the camera, as she has been modeling since she was a teenager. I mean, she is gorgeous! She did admit it was different than her usual modeling gigs where she is showcasing a product. Her product on this session was her man! This was Shay’s first time in “model mode;” he spends the majority of his time with his patients at his chiropractic office, but he did a fantastic job. The two laughed and enjoyed their time together. The two really love St. Pete beach and I will admit, the beginning of the day wasn’t the best weather so I wasn’t sure if we would be able to make it happen, but the skies cleared and we lucked out with a super cool, foggy sky. We are looking forward to their March wedding at Armature Works, which we know ill be one for the books!
