Congrats to Megan and Dan {Meg & Dano} who got married at the St. Petersburg Women's Club this month! Let me just start out by saying that Megan's flowers are by far the coolest and most elegant bouquet I've ever seen. Made from recycled materials such as paper and wood, Megan designed and put together five bouquets for $150! I was so impressed and in awe of how gorgeous they were! Lets now talk about how gorgeous Megan was! She looked so elegant and flawless from the second I arrived until the moment I left. These two had an outdoor ceremony under the trees overlooking the water as they exchanged their rings, read each other hand written vows and tied a rope knot signifying their everlasting love for each other. Come reception time I had a pretty clear picture of what to expect from the men of this wedding-Dan and his groomsmen were full of laughs and jokes and didn't lack one bit on the entertainment category. I have to say this is the first time I've witnessed a can of tuna be exchanged between best man and groom during the toast {apparently he owed him one for many years!} - You just can't beat that! To wrap up the night Megan and Dan let me sneak them outside for some gorgeous sunset shots! I love couples who want to spend a bit of extra time taking those extra special photos that will last a lifetime! A special thanks to her bridesmaids for stopping traffic and holding lights! Thank you for letting me capture this day for you - I know you two belong together and will spend many happy years side by side!

Congratulations to Megan and Kristian who got married last weekend at Nova 535 in St Petersburg, FL! This is a unique and trendy art venue tucked away in downtown St Pete with fun architecture, a bamboo courtyard and old brick walls lined with art work and personalized wedding details. It was a gorgeous day in St Pete, the warmest wedding day I've had so far this year, but it was clear with blue skies and puffy white clouds! I met Megan at her hotel downtown while Clint headed over to be with the guys for some getting ready pictures. Walking into the room I knew it was going to be a fun day as I was greeted by 10 bridesmaids, joyful children, proud mommas and a glowing bride! This day was unique as we were able to do several "first looks" with Megan and the people that mean the most to her in her life. Tears flowed as Megan and Kristian saw each other for the first time and they didn't stop flowing when her dad and then brother had a first peek at her minutes before the ceremony. "We want to try and get all the tears out now!" they said! After officially becoming husband and wife we did a quick set of formals because these two, along with their friends and families, wanted to spend as much time as possible celebrating this new marriage. The reception was full of dancing, laughter {in part because Kristian's dad is hilarious!} and lots and lots of love. Thanks for letting us be a part of this journey with you guys!
Congratulations to Brianne and Kyle who got married last weekend at The Sirata on St. Pete Beach! I loved getting to know these two over the past year through their engagement session and also keeping up with them on social media. One of my favorite parts of being a photographer {especially a wedding photographer} is really forming relationships with my couples - I love the friendships that I get to make! :) These two were incredibly patient and definitely went with the flow on their wedding day...it rained the whole day {the WHOLE day}...so adjustments had to be made. We got a bit creative with some formals under an umbrella, carried Brianne's dress and veil very high off the ground every where we walked, and photographed our bridal party formals in the reception hall before letting guests in. We are so thankful Brianne and Kyle trusted us to take care of them on their wedding day! Now I must admit I LOVE taking detail photos at weddings, but this one I especially had fun with! I wanted to bring The Sirata lobby furniture home with me {see below} and the centerpieces were so fun! A special shout out goes to Bling Bling Bloom who provided amazing floral arrangements and Georgia Kaden who killed it {as usual} on makeup! So happy for you guys!
