This weekend we met up with Carolina and Ryan at Lake Mirror, in Downtown Lakeland for an engagement photo session experience.  The weather looked like it was going to rain, but we still made it.  Knowing how Florida is with it's ever changing weather and afternoon storms, I came prepared.  Once we got to Lake Mirror, the sun had hidden behind the clouds and we got a little rain.  We still made it through with some pretty epic photos!  I've learned to always bring a clear umbrella for our sessions, especially if we are photographing in the afternoon.  I'm glad I did on this one and was able to get a nice photo for Carolina and Ryan. 

Take a peek at some of the photos from Carolina and Ryan's engagement session!

When Lizelle reached out to us about their destination wedding in Anna Maria Island we were super stoked!  The Anna Maria Island and Bradenton Beach area has amazing sunsets and we loved the opportunity to capture their celebration of love.  

The ceremony and reception was organized by Beach Breeze Weddings of Sarasota.  The decor was perfect for a sunset beach wedding!   Lizelle and Johnny decided for a very intimate ceremony with family and friends.  We couldn't have asked for a better weather.  After we the ceremony, we took photos with the sunset then everyone continued the celebration at Bridge Street Bistro for an intimate dinner.  

Amazing memories for an amazing couple.  Thank you Lizelle and Johnny for letting us be a part of your day!  Enjoy the slideshow and photos below of their beautiful destination wedding in Anna Maria Island Beach.

We drive past Casa Lantana in Brandon almost weekly.  See, we live very close by and consider them neighbors, so when Jason and Kristen told us their wedding venue was Casa Lantana we were more than excited!    Both the bride and groom got ready at Casa Lantana.  The venue is very well designed giving each one an area for themselves to get ready.  Casa Lantana in general is the perfect location for a wedding in Florida - and their staff is extremely professional, accommodating, and super friendly!  It has different ceremony sites to choose from, making it even easier for couples who are undecided in the type of ceremony they want. 

Jason and Kristen wanted a first look and it was magical!  When it was time for the ceremony, my wife got everyone in the wedding mood as she played the harp when guests arrived.  The ceremony was so beautiful under a big oak tree and the sunset in the background.  You could feel the emotion as both Jason and Kristen read their vows.  After the ceremony, Kristen entertained the guests inside Casa Lantana as she played the harp while they mingled and got drinks and I spent some time with the couple taking their photos at the venue's beautiful grounds. 

​The reception followed with lots of dancing, beautiful speeches - including very emotional ones from the bride and groom - and of course, some dancing!  The night ended with a sparkler exit as the couple were driven out to their honeymoon destination.  Once again, thank you Jason and Kristen for letting us be a part of your day.

Congratulations to Nina and Jimmie who recently celebrated their wedding at the beautiful Lake Ashton Country Club in Lake Wales Florida.  The wedding ceremony was set outside in their Reflection Garden with views of the lake and sunset.  My wife Kristen welcomed the guests with the romantic sounds of the harp.  Everyone was overjoyed during the ceremony as it was filled with emotions!  After the ceremony, we set aside some time with the couple to take their photos on the golf course with the lovely sunset as their backdrop.   The reception ballroom was completely designed and decorated by Nina's talented mom.  It was stunning!   The highlight of the night was when Nina and Jimmie surprised everyone with a choreographed dace!  The rest of the night was filled with emotional speeches, delicious dinner, and lots of fun dancing. 

​Take a peek at the slideshow and additional photo gallery below of their beautiful wedding.  Once again, thank you Nina and Jimmie for letting us be a part of your day!

A few weeks ago I was at Kristin and Jason's wedding celebration as they were married at the First United Methodist Church in Sarasota. The church's decor and natural light was a fresh inspiration for photography. It is a delight to work as a wedding photographer in such beautiful churches filled with history and beauty.

When Kristin arrived at the wedding venue, Jason was already waiting inside. The ceremony celebrated at United Methodist Church was fantastic, the photographs I took of it definitely have a "love is in the air" vibe to them.

Kristin and Jason interacted freely with the guest at the reception venue, which was held at the University Park Country Club in Sarasota. The atmosphere at the reception was perfect for entertaining the guests. I began searching for moments that would help to tell the story of the day.

Everyone loves a good fall wedding, and I'm no exception. It was a lovely sunny day, which was really nice to see, and made the photographs really sing.

All the guests were keen not to miss the speeches. The speeches are a great part of the wedding and a joy to photograph as a wedding photographer. The evening began and the DJ definitely pulled it off, the wedding floor got crowded while the newlyweds were showing off their best moves.

Thank you Kristin and Jason for letting me be a part of your day and thank you so much for the sweet words you left for us on WeddingWire!

Enjoy some of the photos and video slideshow of their day below.
