Autumn is a gorgeous bride.  She wore a princess wedding dress that was absolutely perfect for her.  William was dashing in his tux and I kept thinking, “James Bond”.  The ceremony was held on the 3rd floor outdoor pool deck under a huge white canopy, very cool, and the reception was in the Johann Strauss Ballroom.

Both families were wonderful and I have to thank Stephanie Humphrey (Stephanie Humphrey Photography) for referring Autumn and her family to me.  Stephanie also helped me photograph Autumn and William’s day, once again, THANK YOU!  Some of her work is included here.

Congratulations, Autumn and William.

Ricky from Rhythm Makers DJ’s kept everyone on the dance floor.  Most of the bridal party knew each other from college and you could tell that they had done this party thing a few times before.  The gorgeous and delicious cake was created by A Piece of Cake – Tampa.

Here are some of my fav images from their day.

Michelle and Cesar are a beautiful couple and they rocked their photos!

Beka+Robert had their reception at the Clearwater Beach Hilton and as usual, Joanie and company did an awesome job of staging the room and making sure that Beka+Robert’s wedding day was perfect. All of the center pieces were hand made castle towers and little treasure chests filled with jewels and other bootie. Their cake was custom made by Chantilly Cakes from Largo, FL. Robert is an artist and he airbrushed the cake topper for Desiree, owner of Chantilly, to place on top of their masterpiece.

The party was kept going by DJ extraordinaire Nick Colardo from NY Moves Sound & Entertainment.  (newyorkmoves@hotmail.com)

I want to thank Caroline Hanna for coming out to photograph Beka+Robert’s day with me.  Caroline, I couldn’t have done it without you and I look forward to working with you again.

Emily+Clay met while on a mission trip to Africa. In fact, Emily returned to Africa to do God’s work up until just weeks before the wedding!  They told me how they met and a little about themselves during our engagement session in Tampa but it was her grandfather’s introduction and blessing before the ceremony that really told everyone there something about these two.

He described how Clay first met Emily in Africa and how impressed he was that this young lady was there essentially on her own.  I’m sure he didn’t miss her beauty either.   He was also impressed with her total love for God and in doing God’s good work.  Her grandfather went on to tell the guests about a journal that Emily had kept and wrote in since she was a little girl.  It seemed that she wrote a lot in that journal about her future wedding and the man that she would one day marry.  What really stuck in my mind was the entry that she made that “she wanted to marry a man that was more in love with God than in love with her.”  Awesome!  Honestly, I have thought about that many times since the wedding.  Thank you.  Your faith, love of God, and love for each other are an inspiration.

I must thank Stephanie from Stephanie Humphrey Photography for working with me on this day.  Many of the gorgeous photos below are hers and I am looking forward to working with her again and again.

Here is their day in a  slideshow set to music:

Their wedding as held in the courtyard of Presbyterian Church of Seffner and Corrie was escorted by her son, Aden.  In a large part, the magic of their wedding ceremony was the simplicity of the event and the surroundings.  The courtyard was beautifully landscaped, the trees were adorned with jewels and flowers hanging from the branches on wire, and the guests sat on bales of hay wrapped in white cloth.  It couldn’t have been any more perfect!  Their reception was held at Keel and Curley Winery in nearby Plant City, Florida.

Here is a slideshow of a few of the images from their wedding taken by Jeff and Nancy from Jeff Mason Photography.  Thank you for inviting us to share in your wonderful day.
