The harp is a such versatile option for your wedding ceremony music!!! Not only it’s a perfect option to walk down the aisle to live music performed by a professional musician such a harpist, but also perfect for entertaining the guests during cocktail hour or small receptions. Here are the top 5 reasons you should book a professional harpist, especially if you are moving from big weddings to small, micro, intimate, or elopement wedding due to COVID-19: 1. The sounds of the harp are soothing, romantic, and surprisingly loud. There's nothing like the sound of a harp. It's like a piano that you can take pretty much anywhere, especially for outdoor weddings! The sound if powerful enough that it travels far, plus she only needs a small place to set up! Although a sound system is generally not needed, Kristen always brings one just in case. 2. Your song on the harp. A professional harpist will be able to play whatever song you want on the harp. Kristen will work with you to create a customized playlist for your wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, or reception music. Want a special mix for your first dance? She'll make it happen! 3. It's generally a lot less expensive than hiring a DJ or band. Especially is you are having a small wedding and with some of the COVID-19 restrictions, it may not make sense to spend so much on equipment and a DJ or hire a bunch of musicians that can't maintain social distancing. Instead, entertain the guest with the beautiful music of a professional harpist playing while they mingle and eat during the reception. 4. Give your guests something to remember. As a wedding photographer, I have been in many weddings and have seen many options for wedding music. But, when my wife Kristen is the harpist for the wedding, it's the only time I hear the guest talking about the music and how beautiful it was. ALWAYS! Of course, that makes me happy :) I generally hear things like "OMG they have a harpist!" or "I've never seen a harp in real life before, it's so beautiful!" or "Wow! So cool that they hired a harpist!" 5. It’s a stunning and beautiful instrument to look at...making for beautiful and elegant pictures of your wedding. From the bride and groom photos or just having it as a backdrop, the harp is just so elegant! It's the official instrument of the royal family, so that should say something! If you’re still undecided for your wedding music, you cannot go wrong in hiring a professional harpist like Kristen Elizabeth for your wedding! Remember, that with us, being a husband and wife team, it's even better! Kristen Elizabeth also helps as a second photographer during the day, so it's the perfect match :) With that said, contact us today to learn how we can help you we can help you with our wedding photography and harp music experience!

Alexandra and Steve had a fantastic wedding a couple of weeks ago. Knotted Roots on the Lake is located in Land O'Lakes was a perfect choice for the wedding. The day began with me photographing Alexandra while she got ready at the bridal house. I really enjoy photographing bridal prep as it gives you a chance to get to know the bridal party a little better. My wife photographed Steve's preparations over at the guys super cute vintage silver trailer. Once they were prepared, they took time to do a first look with the bridal party...Alexandra and Steve got super emotional as they saw each other for the first time. We love first looks because it gives us extra time to take additional portraits of the bride and groom, giving them more time to spend with each other later after the wedding. It was a cloudy day and it obviously had the bride and groom worried about possible rain, but the clouds eventually left and the sun came out at the same time as the bride was walking down the aisle to the romantic music of the harp..perfect timing! They spent the wedding reception mingling with their guests and enjoying the moment. As well as having a thoroughly fantastic day, it was just a joy to photograph Alexandra and Steve's wedding and I just know they will build a fantastic life together. :) Enjoy the highlight video and the images below from their wedding!

Next month we have the wedding of Alex and Katie at the beautiful Sunken Gardens in St. Petersburg, Florida. For Alex and Katie, St. Pete is their home town and they wanted to have an engagement session with some of the amazing murals found in St. Pete. We met at Sunken Gardens and took some photos at their sign, then we drove over to the "Greetings from St. Pete" mural by Derek Donnely from Saint Paint Arts where it started to rain on us, but we came prepared with some lighting equipment and umbrella for a cool shot. Then we headed to Bandit Coffee for another cool mural. By then the rain stopped and we were able to relax a little more without having to get wet lol. I had a blast with Alex and Katie and can't wait for their wedding coming up soon!

We want to be a part of you wedding day :) Recently I had the honor to photograph Summer and Jared's beautiful wedding ceremony. They took their vows at The Orlo in Historic Downtown Tampa, Florida. It was the first time I had worked at The Orlo, it's a great venue that allowed me to bring the best of each moment. Summer began getting ready for her wedding at The Orlo so I went along to begin photographing her story. Photographing Summer as she prepared for the day was an exciting way to begin the story. To develop a complete picture of the wedding, the groom's prep story must be told. So my second photographer photographed Jared at the Floridan Palace in Downtown as he got ready. Family and friends were happy to witness Summer and Jared tie the knot. Ceremonies like this make my career as a wedding photographer in Hillsborough county a very enjoyable job! Joy and contentment were evident on everyone's face while at the reception. The guests and the couple had a great day. It was a lovely atmosphere and everyone really enjoyed themselves. I photographed all the activities taking place at the reception. Tampa Bay area weddings let me get the best of each moment. The day was bright and sunny, which made Summer and Jared really happy, and meant we could all spend some time outdoors. All guest sat down to listen to speeches. Every speech is unique and I never get bored of photographing them. At the end of the day, Summer and Jared rocked the dance floor accompanied by their guests, courtesy of the DJ. I really enjoyed photographing Summer and Jared's special day and I wish them all the best. Take a peek at the slideshow below and some of their wedding photos.
