Jeff Mason Wedding and Portrait Photographer

When a bride calls Jeff Mason Photography inquiring about wedding photography one of the first things I ask her is if they are considering a engagement photo session.  Engagement photo sessions are meant to be fun, relaxed and casual.  It’s a good time to get pictures of the couple just being themselves and showing their love for one another.  Another benefit of the engagement session is that the couple and I get to know each other and they get a chance to become comfortable with me and being in front of my camera.  This is important because on their wedding day, one of the biggest days in their lives, I am going to be right there with them.  After the engagement photo session I’m not just some guy with a camera in their faces, I’m a friend.

One of the most popular products from the engagement session is our Wedding Guest Signature Book.  This book goes beyond the typical guest book.  Not only does it have 20 pages of awesome pictures from the engagement session but I put questions on the pages that prompt the guests to write more than just their names.  Questions such as “When did you know that Rachel and Gordon were in Love”, or “Give us an idea for a date night”.  I have seen some really fun responses from guests.  These are books that the bride and groom can read and get enjoyment from for years to come.

Here is one of the books that I created for Rachel+Gorden who are going to be married on March 21.

I’ve always been a big fan of Gorillaz music.  I ran across this Gorillaz music video on YouTube that I thought I would share.  At least one Gorillaz song is in our playlist when we are photographing a Senior Portrait session in studio at Jeff Mason Photography.  Seniors, you can bring your favorite to your session an we will plug your ipod or iphone or a cd in and we’ll Rock Out while we take amazing pictures of you.

I love the E*Trade talking baby videos!  They really crack me up.  These kids are Kuhlapotomus!

I was contact a while back by a very enthusiastic student from the yearbook staff at Steinbrenner High School.  She saw Jeff Mason Photography ads for senior pictures on facebook and wanted to know if i would be interested in placing an ad in their yearbook.  Sydney is her name and I was very impressed with her professionalism and attitude.  I told her that I would place an ad but I needed a student from her school to be featured in the ad and asked if she would be interested in being that student?  After meeting with her and her family we scheduled a session.

We scheduled Sydney to have her hair and makeup done before the session by my good friend Priscilla Cruz of Destiny & Light Hair and Makeup Artists.  She looked great and had a good time being made up.  I also want to thank Stephanie Humphrey owner of Stephanie Humphrey Photography for her artful suggestions and expertise with a reflector.

Here is the ad for Jeff Mason Photography that is going to be in the yearbook:

Sarah is a Senior at Armwood High School and we attend church together.  She is active in the church youth group.  One of my favorite memories of Sarah since I’ve known her was when the youth group came to our house during christmas and Sarah had this “hat” on that was more a cone-shaped spring than a hat and had a bell on the top!  It reminded me of something from Dr. Suess.

Sarah has been president of Armwood’s FFA chapter and is looking forward to college.  She is a Senior Spokesmodel for our studio and will be earning discounts on her senior pictures.  She will also be earning gift certificates from some of her favorite stores like Abercrombie & Fitch and Hollister for referring her friends to Jeff Mason Photography for their senior pictures.

Here is a slideshow from Sarah’s session.

I’ve known Keanna for several years and was excited when she asked if she could be a Senior Spokesmodel for Jeff Mason Photography. Keanna goes to Brandon High School. She is originally from Slidell, LA and came to Tampa after hurricane Katrina to stay with her aunt and uncle who are our good friends. Well, after the schools reopened in Slidell she had already settled into Brandon and didn’t want to leave her friends, so she stayed…and we are glad she did.

Being a Senior Spokesmodel Keanna received a 10 page 5×5 photobook and photo referral cards to hand out to friends. She will be earning discounts on her Senior pictures and will be receiving gift certificates for hair and nail salons and stores like Abercrombie and Hollister when her friends book their senior pictures with Jeff Mason Photography.

Here’s a video with a few pictures from her session.
