Ashley and Marc were married at the SandPearl Resort on Clearwater Beach, Florida.  Many of their friends and family came down from Virginia to share in their celebration.  Marc and his groomsmen were all graduates from Virginia Tech as were many of the guests based on the reaction to the VT fight song that the DJ played!  I didn’t get a chance to ask Ashley were she went to school but when the DJ played the Florida Gator’s fight song she was doing a big gator chomp with her arms.  Ashley and her bridesmaids are featured in a previous post with Laura Lee Designs Bridal Bags.  I photographed this wedding on behalf of Bella Pictures along with Cristiana Garcia and I am looking forward to working with her again, she is a fantastic photographer and a lot of fun to work with.

Ashley and Marc, thank you for inviting me to photograph your special day and I wish the two of you many happy and healthy years together.  Here are a few of my favorite images.

I’ve known Cassie for a long time and was VERY excited when she asked me to photograph their wedding.  Chris has been working in Iraq for the past couple of years and is finally home.  I want to thank Theresa Marie from Theresa Marie Photography for helping me.  Holy cow, Theresa, your images are awesome!  Cassie and Chris, I look forward to seeing you all again soon.  Here are a few of their images.

On June 28 we photographed Stephanie & Matthew’s wedding for my good friends at Sky Photo Group.  The wedding was in Daytona so my wife, Nancy, went along to be my 2nd photographer.  We live in Tampa and haven’t been to the east coast in a while so we were especially looking forward to being somewhere different for a change.  

We started by taking some photos of the Stephanie and the girls getting ready.  Stephanie was a stunning bride!  After the ceremony and the formal pictures with the family and bridal party we went over to the beach to get some pictures of just Stephanie and Matthew.  The beach can be a challenging place for photos, especially in mid-afternoon when the sun is so bright but we found a place outside the hotel where they were staying that provided the shade we needed.  The ceremony was at the Palmetto Club and this is when things got REALLY fun.  Stephanie, Matthew, and friends definitely celebrated their wedding!  

Stephanie and Matthew, Nancy and I were honored to be able to photograph your wedding and the start of your lives together.  We wish you many years of happiness!  

Oh, yeah, enjoy snowboarding in Chile…we’re so jealous.
