Our standard shoot times are six, eight, and ten hours. That is a long day no matter how much fun we have at our weddings. That is an even longer time to be standing on your feet in heels. Many of our brides opt out of the wedding heel and chose a wedding sneaker instead. Just as fun and significantly more comfortable, our brides who do it swear by it. Not willing to let go of the heels all together? Try heels for the ceremony and formal shoot and switch to a comfortable sneaker or flat so you can dance the night away in comfort. Your feet will thank you! Take a look at how our brides take on the wedding sneaker!

There is so much that goes into panning a big even like a wedding, or quinceañera. With so many factors in play, having an event planner can make all the difference between the day going off smoothly or it being chaos start to finish. An experienced event planner will know how to keep things on schedule, have back up plans in case things go wrong, and make sure to remind you of things you may have forgotten.  We've seen it all in our years as photographers, and you can tell when you have a great planner. Want your beach ceremony at 7:30 in the summer?  A good planner and photographer will let you know that, it isn't enough time to do the formal pictures before the sun sets if you planned the shoot for after the ceremony. First looks are an option, or scheduled the ceremony to be earlier. With Dj's, catering companies, venue staff, and photographers all trying to help stay on top of the day, a good event planner, and detailed schedule will be well worth it. It will keep

The rings are one of the most important parts of a wedding, even if they aren't that big in size. They are such a personal and special gift exchanged between the couple that we make sure to give them the attention they deserve. We use a macro-lens to capture the little details of the hugely importation wedding rings. Inscriptions, special settings, all placed with something from your wedding. We even use it to capture other details like cake toppers, and anything hung around the bouquet. No matter what makes your wedding special, big or very small we will capture it for you to remember for years to come.   Take a look at some examples of the macro-lens at work.

With St. Pete and Clearwater so close it's no wonder we do so many beach weddings year-round. Through all the locations and all the great venues we have been to, the Bilmar Beach Resort is one of our favorites. There are so many reasons why we loving shooting here. One of them is Tara, the main coordinator for the resort. It is always such a pleasure to work with her and the other awesome coordinator Alyssa.  Both are fantastic wedding planners, they have all their bases covered and produce spectacular weddings time and time again.  The Bilmar penthouse suite makes for some fun pre-ceremony shots and has a really spectacular view overlooking the ceremony site. This way you can look out and see whats going on before we head out. Planning a beach wedding always comes with the risk of having beach-goes in the background. However, the Bilmar and our experience shooting at this venue makes this a non-issue. The expansive sand area makes maneuvering around the masses a

I don't know if it's just me, but one of my favorite parts of photographing a wedding venue is getting to take detail photos of the table settings. I love the plates, the flower arrangements, the glassware... everything about it! A table setting can set the theme for the venue. It can create a tone and just set the mood for the night. Here are a few of my favorite that we have gotten to capture! I love this shabby chic vibe with the mixed plates, lace and baby's breath flowers.  The baby blue makes this classy setting. I love how neat and simple it is. This setting is so boho! Love the pineapples as decor and the touches of gold. Table setting can be so personal and show off a bride and groom's personality and style. The settings can compliment a venue and really set off the space. Whatever your style, I think table settings offer a great opportunity to personalize your wedding day! Leave a comment telling about your style and your dream table setti

Florida was made for #beachweddings. With the vibrant blue water, plenty of sunshine and palm trees flowing in the breeze. Many brides and grooms love Florida beaches so much that they travel here to have a #destinationwedding. I think every bridal party should wear sunglasses! A few weekends ago we were at the lovely Grand Plaza Hotel on St. Pete Beach capturing a super sweet #beachwedding. The bride totally embraced the #tropicalvibes and incorporated palm leaves mixed with flowers which decorated their bamboo archway. The bride kept her decor on trend by having the flower girls carry signs with cute messages instead of the traditional flowers. The first girls sign said #toolatetorun and the second girls said #herecomesthebride. I love this idea- but I'm a very non-traditional person so it's fun for me to see how people mix it up.
