Wedding Guest Signature Books-with a Twist | Tampa Wedding Photographer

Posted on March 4, 2010 by Jeff Mason | Tampa Wedding & Portrait Photographer in Senior Portraits

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.

The Secrets for Many Years of Marriage.

Posted on February 15, 2010 by Jeff Mason | Tampa Wedding & Portrait Photographer in Fun Stuff, Wedding Photography

I ran across these by accident but they are awesome video testimonials from couples who have been married for 50+ years.  I always make it a point to ask brides who contact me, “Where did you and your fiance meet?”.   More than a few have said that they met when they were in grade school or the groom-to-be visited his grandparents who lived across the street every summer.  Really wonderful stories.  These little videos hit home because they are the same kinds of stories.  I feel so fortunate that Jeff Mason Photography can be there to photograph each of our new couples as they start their lives together.  Video by Gillian Laub

Chrissy+Ed | St. Petersburg Sunken Gardens Wedding

Posted on April 22, 2009 by Jeff Mason | Tampa Wedding & Portrait Photographer in Wedding Photography

Chrissy and Ed were married on 4/18/2009 at St. Petersburg Sunken Gardens.  It’s a beautiful botanical garden and they had their ceremony near the butterfly garden.  Their reception was at the Marriott Pinellas Park.  Both of their families were a lot of fun and there was a lot of dancing during the reception but one thing that really stuck in my mind was what Ed’s brother, Pete,  said during his toast.  He said that Ed has always been one to do things his own way and that when Ed told him that he cared, truly cared, for Chrissy that was when Pete knew they were meant for each other.  Chrissy and Ed, I wish you many years of health and happiness together.  Here is a slideshow with a few images from their day.

Karyn+Alex | Hilton Clearwater Beach Florida Wedding

Posted on March 31, 2009 by Jeff Mason | Tampa Wedding & Portrait Photographer in Travel, Wedding Photography

Karyn and Alex were married March 29 at the Hilton Clearwater Beach Resort in Florida.  They live in Manhattan and made the trip down here with about 60 of their family and friends for a destination wedding on our wonderful beach.  It’s obvious that they are loved by many since guests came from as far away as Seattle, TX, TN, and upstate NY.

The weather was a bit sketchy in the morning but by the time the ceremony started it was nothing but blue skys and sunshine!  Here is a video with a few of my favorite pics from the day.  Congratulations, you guys!  -Jeff

Kimberly+David | Hard Rock Hotel Tampa Wedding

Posted on November 25, 2008 by Jeff Mason | Tampa Wedding & Portrait Photographer in Fun Stuff, Wedding Photography

Saturday was my last wedding for 2008 and it was a good one to end with. Kimberly and David were married and had their reception at the Hard Rock Casino in Tampa and rockin’ they did! They hired Bella Pictures to handle the photography. I’ve mentioned in previous posts that I am a Bella photographer when I have open dates. I’m glad that Nov. 22 was open because Kimberly, David, the bridal party, and both families were wonderful to work with.

I shot a handful of weddings in 2008 for Bella and so far it has been a good experience. I would much rather have my own weddings fill 2-3 weekends every month but when I don’t it gives me an opportunity to stay behind the camera and to meet wonderful people. Their wedding was no different.

Kimberly and David, I wish a happy and healthy life together. Enjoy Aruba and then the cruise with your family. Stay in touch. Here is a video and pictures of some of my favorite images.
