It was a beautiful, sunny Seattle day for our dear friends Chad and Lora’s intimate wedding ceremony and reception. After the hilltop ceremony overlooking Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains we all walked parade style with two musicians in tow, to the couple’s favorite neighborhood restaurant. We sat at a huge Godfatheresque table eating and drinking family-style as the frequent tapping of wine glasses playfully encouraged the couple smooch again. The party then strolled back to the couple’s quaint backyard for desert, live music and dancing…the perfect end to a lovely day!

We finally trashed my wedding dress, or at least attempted to. Shortly after our two year anniversary of saying “I do” we headed up to Ginnie Springs for a scuba dive/TTD session. And even better, the beautiful fresh spring water was fine for the dress, it looks as good as it did before. We’ll have to think of another way to really trash it…mud wrestling BBQ maybe? If you have any ideas on how I can really trash my dress, do share and let us know if you’d like us to photograph you trashing (or not-so-trashing) your dress.

For this shoot we took a boat out to Egmont Key from Ft. DeSoto. It’s a boaters paradise with beautiful blue waters and a glimpse into the past with a ghost town of overgrown brick streets and great old structures from an abandoned fort.  As the wind and waves began to pick up we headed back to the calmer waters of Ft. DeSoto and sandy flats that allowed us to work in a foot or so of water even though we were several hundred yards off shore. We finished off the day by cruising over to the Skyway bridge for sunset. Playing in the sand and surf with a great couple makes for a pretty good day at the office!

Here’s a group of photos from a recent engagement shoot in downtown Tampa with Sam and Rik. We started on the waterfront at Curtis Hixon Park and Tampa Museum of Art then moved on to the bright lights of Tampa Theater. What a cute couple, so much fun!! This is part one of a two day shoot. Next post we hit the water- Ft. De Soto and Egmont Key!

Clearwater Beach is always a great place for an afternoon wedding. This is the second wedding we’ve shot at this great little beach spot. It’s a public access point, but doesn’t get much foot traffic and there are cozy beach cottages for rent nearby (http://www.clearwatercottages.com/) so it’s a bit of a secret gem for those looking for wedding locations.

After a string of beach weddings we left the sand and surf  for the rainforest feel of Alecia and Erik’s ceremony at Sunken Gardens. With all of the tropical plants in bloom and calls from exotic birds it felt like being in a jungle. Alecia and Erik are such a fun couple and it really showed in the dancing, games and photo booth fun of the reception.

Here’s a collection of images from our latest wedding. We had the wedding trifecta on this one, sweet couple, gorgeous wedding and great location at TradeWinds Island Resorts  on St. Pete Beach.
