The beauty of being based in the greater Tampa/Clearwater area is how many destination weddings we have here. Madison+Dalton brought all of their family from Illinois to have a gorgeous beach wedding at the Hilton Clearwater Beach.

Ballast point is a hidden little gem right at the very end of Bayshore Blvd and where we did Darci and Russell’s engagement session. At dusk, there’s just a few minutes where the light on the city of Tampa in the distance and light where we were was even and it just looks spectacular with the calm water and pink tones in the sky. Gotta be patient but it’s worth it! I had so much fun hanging out with these 2, we even got a dolphin fin in the background!!

Liz and Jory will be tying the knot in a beautiful garden next March. They live out by the beach, so Sand Key was the perfect spot for their engagement session. Their handsome little guy, Quinn, even joined us for some as well and he even helped me hold the off camera flash for sunset. I absolutely love these sweet moments with the 2, and the 3 of them. Couples who have kids ask me all the time if they should include their kids in their engagement session and I actually love when they do! I think it’s such a great way to help them be a part of the journey and celebration and you get some gorgeous photos as a family as well!

We had a blast photographing Tara+Nick’s cruise ship wedding in Tampa Bay Harbor aboard the Yacht Starship. The weather was perfect, crystal clear and the wind minimal. The Yacht Starship weddings are so great for the couple because their packages are all inclusive so all you have to do is show up and have a great party.

We had an unbelievable great time photographing Kate + Matt’s wedding at Sacred Heart Catholic Church and The Orlo. Kate is from Tampa while Matt is from San Francisco and the pair currently reside there. They decided to incorporate their geographical roots as the main theme in their wedding, a ‘Bay to Bay’ sort of vibe. And of course planning a wedding from across the country is tough so the pair was so glad to have help from Confetti Events to pull off a wonderful event.

Ashton and Chris are getting married in just a few short weeks at Sacred Heart and the Centre Club!!! Ashton is from Tampa, and Chris and all his family will be coming down from Ohio for the wedding. The perfect spot that totally vibes with the wedding and is so “Tampa” is the lovely water front views at Curtis Hixon Park. You all know it’s one of our favs!! Ashton’s pop of pink shoes with that gorgeous ivory dress with Chris’ neutral outfit looked amazing with all the greenery and waterfront views. 5.14.22 they will become Mr. and Mrs. Koenig and we can’t wait!!

George + Nathan’s chic March wedding at Armature Works in Downtown Tampa, FL was a dream to be a part of! Working with George + Nathan and their event planner at Piper Marie Events made for great photos. Everything these two incorporated into their wedding spoke of elegance and refinement. We especially loved the pops of red on the bottoms of their kingly shoes and the fantastic red get away car! George +Nathan’s tuxedos and bridal party black tie couture were stunning!

All you really need for a great engagement session is a super fun couple and a spot with gorgeous light and that’s what we had for Madison and Chris’ session. I love new places, and sometimes not even preparing, but just showing up and seeing what I see. Madison had this great little spot she sent me the coordinates to and it had awesome trees and tall whispy grasses that was just so pretty!! They are getting married at Legacy Lane Farm next October and their save the dates will totally set the tone as this is a different location but totally goes with the gorgeous outdoor vibe of Legacy Lane.

This was an extra special family portrait session as it was Sarah, Alan, and Olah’s first session as a family together! I’ve known Sarah for quite a few years now as she is a super talented artist. 3 years ago I had the honor of photographing her and Alan’s wedding and we have had several conversations of them wanting to adopt someday. Just a few months ago, that dream of theirs became a reality and Olah made them a party of 3! I was SO happy when Sarah asked me to do this session for them, literally seeing couple’s dream of adoption is my favorite thing. Olah is such a sweet girl and bright light with an amazing future ahead of her!

There really is no better place for an elegant, classic, black and white engagement session than downtown Tampa! I loved getting to know Caroline and Shane and their 2 adorable fur babies Leo and Brody, who also were in matching black ties. Golden hour was the best time for their session because the steps at Le Meridien are totally in the shade and you get that pretty golden light against the buildings downtown. We took advantage of all the pretty spots and how much these 2 adore one another!

Ross proposed to Joanna while they were out on their boat in the bay, close to the St. Pete Pier. So while we were planning their session, the perfect spot was downtown St. Pete, and I love how the pier is just in the distance in the background. The light purple and blue they wore for the park, and the outfit change for the waterfront and a little bit of night time with the lights in the park looked amazing! It was so fun working with you guys!!! Here’s just a few of my favs!
