Power Lines

Something about power lines has always intrigued me. I love the depth that can be captured in a photo of them. I drive by these power lines everyday and finally stopped to take a picture around sunset. Since it is the summer in Florida, we have thunderstorms almost every afternoon so luckily they held off long enough for a few photos.

Wedding - Valrico, FL: Heidi and David

Heidi and David flew in from Chicago for their wedding at the beautiful private residence, Twenty-Eight Twelve in Valrico. The team of vendors was absolutely amazing to work with and really played a big part in making the day so great. The whole wedding day was really relaxed and great except that it ended up being the hottest, most humid day of the year.

We thought this old barn was really cool and made for some great pictures.

The gorgeous flowers were done by Fishhawk and Josh with Inspire did an amazing job setting the mood with lighting and playing the perfect mix of music all evening.

Wedding - Clearwater Beach, FL: Amber and Greg

Amber and Greg were married at the Carlouel Yacht Club on Clearwater Beach over Easter weekend. The weather was bright and sunny which made for a crowded day at the beach, but luckily we got away from most of the crowds on the north end of the island. Erica with Occasions did an amazing job of coordinating all the details, and even making sure we were taken care of. She really did a great job behind the scenes before the wedding and made sure everything ran smoothly on the day of.

Amber and Greg chose to see each other before the ceremony to relax their nerves and spend more time together on their wedding day. We always love when couples choose to do this!

The details at the reception had a very elegant beach theme and the cake was one of the most unique we've ever seen! Since Amber and Greg love to scuba dive, their cake was a buried treasure chest.

Bubbles were such a great touch for the first dance!

Wedding - St. Petersburg, FL: Amanda and Ryan

Amanda and Ryan have known each other since grade school as they both grew up in Polk county. It was great to be a part of their day as they finally became husband and wife. They had a beautiful day for their wedding on St. Pete beach at the Grand Plaza.

I absolutely loved Amanda's dress! It was the perfect mixture of fabrics, and she looked amazing in it.

Spring break was in full swing so the beach was busy, but I don't think they noticed. =)

Since we had such a gorgeous sunset, we snuck out of the reception for a few more photos.

Wedding - Sarasota, FL: Whitney and Chris

We met Whitney and Chris back in November when we shot their engagement session. They are such a genuinely nice couple and they welcomed us into their wedding day like one of the family. The wedding was held at Marie Selby Botanical Gardens in Sarasota, and the gardens and trees really make this a beautiful setting for a wedding. We were so happy that the crazy rain from the previous two days had blown through, and we were left with a gorgeous sunny day. Whitney got ready in the mansion house and the lighting was amazing.

Whitney had a gorgeous group of girls by her side all day.



And the guys.



Whitney and Chris chose to see each other before the ceremony to take advantage of the daylight since their ceremony was close to sunset.













Whitney and her bridesmaids put a lot of thought and time into the details of the wedding. Here are a few of the many details.

Engagement - Safety Harbor, FL: Amber and Greg

We had quite a brisk day for this engagement shoot, but at least rain was out of the forecast for one day. We met Amber and Greg at Phillipe Park to take advantage of their love of nature. One of their favorite things to do is scuba dive so we figured a park was the next best location, above water. Sadly, as we walked closer to the water the cold wind became super strong, so we decided to find some other spots that were warmer.

Amber and Greg went to rival colleges, Ohio State and Penn State, so they threw on some jerseys and the rivalry was quite apparent. =)

And one last adorable moment. =)

It was so great getting to know you guys and we're really looking forward to hanging out with you on your wedding day!
