I was thrilled to photograph Cassandra and Gregory's recent wedding. They were married at their family's beautiful backyard in Lakeland. Their celebration continued at Lakeland's Haus 820. I always wanted to photograph at Haus 820 in downtown but never had the chance, until now! Yay! :)
Taneha & James' wedding at The Sparrow Barn in Lithia was AMAZING! This was the first time we got the chance to visit The Sparrow Barn as a wedding photographer. It is always fun photographing magical moments in venues like this when working with great couples like Taneha and James. Taneha being a photographer herself, made sure we had plenty of time for photographs and WE LOVED THAT! That allowed us to be even more creative with the bride and groom portraits.
Hunter's Green Country Club is a scenic location for a wedding in Tampa, Florida. I love my job as a wedding photographer, so I couldn't ask for better opportunities than photographing fantastic couples like Carolina and Ryan and working at fantastic venues like Hunter's Green Country Club.
LeVenue located in Brandon, Florida was a perfect choice for Kristel and Gil's wedding. I always look forward to going back there, as it is a fantastic place for weddings and events. Working with couples like Kristel and Gil, photographing the magic moments of their day in venues like this, remind of how lucky I am as a wedding photographer.
Family and friends present at the ceremony area of the LeVenue Brandon witnessed Kristel and Gil exchange vows in an emotional ceremony. Kristel and Gil shared a few moments with their guests before heading to the reception at the LeVenue's reception hall while my wife played the harp during the cocktail hour. Laughter and love filled the air as the night went by. I was still on the lookout to catch fantastic moments on camera. I've known Kristel for a while and I knew it was going to be a fantastic wedding when Kristel and Gil booked me to photograph it and I just know they will build a fantastic life together. Thank you both for letting us be a part of your celebration of love! Take a peek at the slideshow above and some of the images from the wedding below.

We want to be a part of your wedding day! :) It was a pleasure to be Amy and Tim's photographers and harpist on their big day. They took their vows at one of our favorite venue: Cross Creek Ranch in Dover, FL! It was refreshing to photograph another wedding at Cross Creek Ranch, as it is such a fantastic place to create such beautiful memories.
We started the morning at the Residence Inn Tampa where Amy got ready with her bridesmaids. It's always fun hearing their stories and capturing these moments. Once done, we left to Cross Creek Ranch. Amy and Tim had a very lovely ceremony at Cross Creek Ranch's French Country Inn - a beautiful lush outdoor garden venue for smaller weddings. Kristen delighted the guests as they arrived with the harp, as well as playing wedding songs for the ceremony. As always, I kept hearing guests talking about how beautiful it sounded! There was a lot of merrymaking at the reception. So we waited for the perfect timing to photograph as many moments as we could. Amy and Tim had a fantastic wedding and we won't forget this one in a long time. Thank you for letting us be a part of your celebration!

We were super excited with photographing at The Great Escape Lakeside Estate as it's a very well known location due to the amazing fun gaming amenities it includes. Kera and Philip wanted to have a different setting for their family wedding and choosing The Great Escape couldn't have been more perfect!
Kera and Philip cemented their union in front of their close friends and family members in a very lovely ceremony outdoors by Lake Wash. After the ceremony, we gather everyone for a very cool heart photo with the couple in the middle. Kera and Philip spent the wedding reception dancing and mingling with their guests. The atmosphere at the reception was super fun and perfect for entertaining the guests. We enjoyed drifting among the guests to take the best shots and witness the stories unfold as the hours went by. This wedding was a lot of fun and EXTREMELY memorable. We love that they decided to make it different and have fun. All in all we had a blast at Kera and Philip's wedding! Take a peek at the slideshow video above and at some photos below. Also, make sure to read Kera and Philip's WeddingWire review that they left us.

We are getting ready to blog more about it, but with having weddings back to back to back, it will take a little longer to post a blog. BUT, we were humbled and just floored by the touching and amazing WeddingWire review we just received by Kera & Philip! For real, it made our day, week, month, maybe year.

We want to be a part of your wedding day. :) Jose & Kristen Photo Harp Weddings It was a pleasure for us to be Morgan and Joshua's photographers (and harpist!) on their big day. BellaCosa Lakeside Lodge and Venue located in Lake Wales was a perfect choice for their wedding. It was such a joy to photograph a wedding at BellaCosa Lakeside Lodge, photographing such a picturesque venue with rich Florida history - where once upon a time Marilyn Monroe, President Calvin Coolidge and Al Capone stayed as guests - was very special, can't wait to come back.
Morgan got ready at the bridal suite on the morning of the wedding. She had her hair and makeup finished and we photographed the story as it developed. These days it's common to photograph the groom getting ready so we made a visit to grooms suite and began his story by photographing Joshua making his final preparations. Morgan and Joshua’s wedding ceremony was located at the Lakeside Ceremony site, with a magical view of Lake Pierce on one side, and the stunning Spanish architecture of the estate on the other. The mood was set as Kristen played beautiful music on the harp while guests arrive and during the ceremony! Morgan and Joshua enjoyed spending quality time with their family and friends and loved every bit of their reception. There was a joyful vibe during the reception. We walked around photographing the guests as they relaxed, danced, and talked. This wedding was a dream and we couldn't be so appreciative and humbled to be a part of it. Thank you Morgan & Joshua for booking us 3 years ago! Enjoy the highlight slideshow above and some of the images from the wedding below.
