Lange Farm wedding - Dana and Robbie |Dade City FL

I was looking forward to this wedding after our recent engagement shoot. We walked around Ybor City and I can't remember having so much fun. Their happiness is contagious and the wedding day was no different. Together with their amazing family and friends along with perfect weather, it could not have been a better day. The Lange Farm had the wedding reception room looking as nice as I have ever seen and DJ Rob Vollmar from Grant Hemond Assoc. orchestrated the reception with class and perfection. Enjoy the slide show below the images, all the pictures can be viewed here. The password is the honeymoon destination all lower case.

Grand Plaza destination wedding St. Petersburg Beach - Leona and Brian

"Harley Davidsons, Tatoos, Van Halen."
Those three things might not automatically make you think of a wedding day, but Leona and Brian aren't your typical bride and groom. But behind a seemingly tough image, they are one of the sweetest couples I have worked with. And even with it being a rainy day, that didn't stop us from finding some beautiful light all day (and night) long. Thanks to Kristi at the Grand Plaza who had everything running smooth. Despite not seeing the sun even once all day we managed to run out in between showers for portraits. Thanks to “the more than just a DJ” Rob of Sword Sounds for helping out with some lighting as we dashed in and out of the rain. Friends and family can view and order images here. The password is the home state of Leona in lowercase.

Day After Trash the dress shoot in the Gulf of Mexico with Andrea and David, Clearwater FL

Jumping in the pool after their wedding at the SandPearl Resort (scroll down the blog) was not enough for us we had to go more extreme. We all set out to the beach on a Sunday (filled with people) to see what we could create. I was in the water the most fearing for my camera as I jumped a wave got low to the surface, take a shot, turn around and look for the next wave and repeat. The camera strap got dunked a few times but no other problems, anything for the shot!

Sandpearl resort wedding Clearwater David and Andrea

When I had my initial consultation with David and Andrea, hiring a coordinator came up and Andrea was not sure about it. David quickly said "I don't want you to worry about anything, you should have a coordinator". From day one David was on the "it's all about the Bride" page. He thoughtfully and without hesitation handed Andrea the spotlight, making for an enchanting day. Brides do not get any more beautiful than Andrea and that kept my camera happy the entire wedding.

Andrea's choices for her wedding vendors were truly outstanding. The Sandpearl resort is a phenomenal place for a wedding, her hair (Kristina Bennett EnV) and makeup (Darlina with KyleLynn weddings) were perfection all day in the Florida heat, and we were lucky to have Felix the DJ getting the party going like no one else does. Grande Weddings event planners stayed until the very end providing outstanding service every step of the way.

Below is the slideshow. And for guests at the wedding click here to see all of Andrea and David's images.
