St. Petersburg Wedding Photographers at Nova

October 31, 2013

It’s the classic story of boy (Duane) meets girl (Andi- that’s ME!) at the University of Florida, they become great friends, party together, and then go their separate ways (pre-Facebook of course). Then the girl (Andi) works at Shriners Hospital after college, meets a great friend (Tara), who happens to be a Nole, and years later runs into the boy at the Gator national championship game in Miami, and decides to play match maker (at the protest of her husband (that’s Pete)…..and the rest…as they say…is history! Simple enough right? This St. Petersburg wedding at Nova was incredibly special to me because I got to witness two dear friends share their love with each other and make their union official! I knew when I set them up, and then again after their first date that Tara and Duane were the perfect match for each other. His dry sarcasm, her witty come-backs. Both with laid back, easy going personalities and a passion for their family and friends (and college football)- it was evident early on that these two were meant to be! I was honored to be able to capture their love story!

Museum of Fine Arts Wedding Photographers for H + S

November 16, 2012

What a beautiful day for a wedding in St. Petersburg, Florida for Heather and Steve at the Museum of Fine Arts!  The bride and bridesmaids at the Vinoy! Meanwhile, the guys hung out at the Museum of Fine Arts…. As soon as we met the groomsmen, I knew we were in for a crazy, fun night! I love the look on both Heather and Steve’s faces as they see each other at the ceremony outside the Museum! The day could not have been more perfect for an outside wedding in St. Petersburg! The couple chose some beautiful decor and uplighting to really make the reception site pop! During cocktail hour, we got to spend some time with Heather and Steve- one of my favorite parts of the night! So many unique spots to photograph the bride and groom at the MFA!  Perfect place for an amazing wedding! Heather’s dad makes wine in Canada, so a perfect gift for the guests of the wedding??  Custom wine bottles (with labels from their Tampa engagement session)!  And a fun way to show off Heather’s sparkly diamond bling, too! I had no idea how wild and crazy Heather and Steve (and their friends) were until the band got started- then we saw the truth!  It was a BLAST! OK, so we really saw their crazy, silly sides at Heather’s home-made photo booth/photo prop wall.  Let’s just say….I won’t post all of those pics….hehe….and who is Lulu? CONGRATS Steve and Heather on a beautiful wedding and even more beautiful marriage!  Thank you for letting us capture your love!  xo  Make sure to share your love for the couple by leaving a comment below.
