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.

The couple chose Tampa Firefighters Museum in Downtown Tampa, a perfect location to celebrate their wedding, especially since Chris himself is a firefighter! I hadn't photographed a wedding at Tampa Firefighters Museum before, but photographing there brought out the artist in me so seamlessly. Being a wedding photographer is such a cool job because I get to work with amazing couples in fantastic locations like this. Abby began getting ready for her wedding at Hilton Tampa Downtown so I went along to begin photographing her story. I really enjoy photographing bridal prep as it gives you a chance to get to know the bridal party a little better. My wife Kristen assisted me to photograph Chris's story as it began to unfold at Tampa Firefighters Museum. The couple had a magical first look at the Hilton's plaza. I love first looks as it gives us an opportunity to capture such a special moment and spend some time together taking photos of the couple - freeing up time after the ceremony. After finishing the first look, Abby and Chris were driven to the venue in an elegant Uber. Abby and Chris tied the knot at Tampa Firefighters Museum and it was a emotional ceremony among family and friends as they were delighted by the sounds of the harp as played by my wife, harpist Kristen Elizabeth. Abby and Chris shared some photo moments with the family after the ceremony before proceeding to the reception. The reception was full of energy and laughter. I started photographing the story unfolding as the guests relaxed and mingled. After the joy and laughter of the day, the only thing the guests had not done was dance. So they all took to the dance floor at the sound of some epic tunes by the amazing DJ by CJ. I knew it was going to be a fantastic wedding when Abby and Chris booked us to photograph it and it was a joy to share it with them. Thank you Abby and Chris!!!! Check out some of the photos below while enjoying the beautiful slideshow!
