As the Coronavirus continues to make waves across the globe, we hope that you and your families have been staying safe and healthy. 

Our top priority for this year is making sure that we do right by all of our clients. While we hope that your wedding planning will not be disrupted, rest assured that we are here to make our part of your big day as easy as possible. 

As of now, every wedding that we had in contract during this time of pandemic, we have been able to help our couples in finding a new date and rescheduled the wedding!  Also, we ARE STILL BOOKING WEDDINGS!  That's correct, if you are still undecided of booking because of what's happening, we totally understand. But, all things will come to an end at some point and if you have a wedding to plan for later this year or 2021, 2022, etc....contact us ASAP!  The good news is that our contracts are client friendly, plus we only require a small retainer and since we limit the amount of weddings we book a year, we have more flexibility than other photographers who may have tons of weddings and don't have the flexibility to reschedule dates.

Now, as for us, we've been taking extra precautions because wedding season must go on as soon as this is over, and it's our responsibility to stay healthy for our couples!  We strongly suggest you do the same and follow all quarantine rules - we want to photograph your wedding!!!! 

If you have ANY questions, please email us, or contact us via any of our social media pages.  We are here for you and hope that all of this can be over soon so we can celebrate your day.  :)  

Love, 

Jose & Kristen

Katie and Alex were planning their dream garden wedding at Sunken Gardens for a while.  We were super excited to be a part of their planning as we got ready for their intimate family wedding.  But, when the day came, a tropical storm put a hinder at their plans and they had to move their garden wedding indoors.    Non the less, we were ready for it to make sure we helped them feel at ease and that we will be able to capture some beautiful pictures of the wedding.  

Sunken Gardens rightfully moved the ceremony indoors into their second floor banquet hall.  The decorations were perfect and there was a nice backdrop of the gardens through their impressive, big windows.   As the ceremony was getting to start, Kristen played the harp to set the mood and get everyone ready.  

During the ceremony, Katie and Alex filled out a Scrabble game with their names and their kids names - such a great idea!  After the ceremony, we looked out and we saw there was a little break in the weather, so we headed out for some quick photos in the gardens.  So glad we did!  

Overall, even though sometimes things may not go as planned, we are ready for any challenge that may arise and we will be there for you and help you through those challenges and still capture the loving memories.   Here are some heartfelt words by Alex & Katie:

That review made our day...maybe our year! Take a look at Katie and Alex's wedding slideshow and some images of their indoor Sunken Gardens wedding below.  If you are looking for a wedding photographer in St. Petersburg Florida, contact us!  We would love to be a part of your wedding :)

When Shayla contacted me she was concerned with selecting the right photographer for her wedding.  With so many options now a days, I honestly feel her pain.  But, my goal is to make it easy for my clients and we hit it off right away!  Shayla is a planner and I LOVE that from my clients.  If you have a vision, my goal is to make that vision a reality.  Shayla sent me a Pinterest board with some samples of images she would like - with that in hand, and with my own spin of artistry, we went off to explore Plant City with her super cool fiancee Preston.   

The weather was perfect for this nature walk engagement session on a nature reserve in Plant City - an area where in talking to Shayla and Preston, was owned at some point by Preston's family!  We are so glad that it's now a place where people can enjoy the beauty of Florida and not filled with houses or development.  We walked to a creek for the first set of photos where we got some beautiful sun rays through the big oak trees.  Then we headed to the tall grass for some final sunset moments.    Overall we had a blast chatting about the wedding, life, and random stuff lol  After Shayla and Preston received their gallery, they said:  "OMG Jose saying they are amazing is an understatement!! We couldn’t be happier with them!!!!"  Thank you Shayla and Preston for trusting me for your engagement and wedding photos.  Can't wait for your big day at Cross Creek Ranch in Dover, Florida! 

Take a peek at some samples of the photos of the engagement session in Plant City below!

Hi!!! 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!
