Mark and Leah’s wedding reception took place at the beautiful Hollis Garden in Lakeland. This photographers wonderland was awesome.
Don’t they look like models!
Look at those eyes.
Mark’s father has an awesome voice. I love this moment when his grandaughter came up on the stage and he began to serenade her.

Mark and Leah, you guys are awesome. We love you two!
Mark and Leah’s Lakeland ceremony was full of emotions. Here are the laughs and tears.
I love this sequence of Mark that Abbie photographed as Leah walked down the isle with her father.
Part 3 soon!
If you see a large group of people walking down the beach all dressed the same, there is a good chance they are with us. Many times when all of an extended family is in town the family will book us for a generation photo shoot. Grandma and Grandpa, Aunts and Uncles, Brothers and Sisters all gathered together for one special photograph. Here are a few recent examples.
Mark and Leah had an amazing wedding in Lakeland on June 1. Even though we have only known each other for a short while it was almost like shooting a friend’s wedding. This wonderful Christian couple was a joy to photograph. This wedding had everything Abbie and I love. An awesome couple, fun wedding party, kind family members, a beautiful location and lots of laughs and tears.
Leah got ready at the beautiful Terrace Hotel. The ceremony was held at the Westminster Presbyterian Church and our church’s own Pastor Chris and James (of www.gracefamilychurch.org) performed the ceremony.
Great idea Leah!
Leah looked beautiful in her dress hand made from Spain.
Being a guy, I always have to make my grooms look cool.

This wedding was so awesome there may be a part 3!
Jeremy and Ashley’s wedding reception took place at the Higgins Hall in Tampa. The DJ from www.granthemond.com kept the party rocking. I was very excited to take the newly weds outside for some cool shots by the trees.
Jeremy and Ashley we are so happy for both of you!
One of my favorites of the day!
Abbie’s first dance shot.
Corey’s first dance shot.
You know we love kids!
Amazing trees!
Hey, look who got into a picture! I usually groove around while shooting with my camera but this family member started dancing with me so I couldn’t refuse to cut some rug. One of the guests took the picture with my camera. Look at Abbie laughing at me in the background.
We recently met with the Bair family at Chestnut park. They are a sweet family with three of the cutest kids. The boys were fun looking for gators. Here are a few of our favorites.
In between all the weddings we still have had some portrait sessions. Recently we met with our good friends Tom, Nicole and Avery at Anderson park. Tom and I have known each other since high school and were in each others wedding. Avery is such a cutie! I love her eyes.
I love this picture of Avery! You can’t pose this.
Jeremy and Ashley were married at Van Dyke Methodist Church on May 31, 2008. Abbie and I had fun using the different locations of the church to create our images. From the Sunday school painted tree wall to the serious groomsmen shot in the office room we tried to maximize the environment for our pictures. Here are a few of our favorites leading up to the ceremony.
I love this shot Abbie took of Ashley. She has a great serious look. I LOVE the way Abbie used the negative space!
The Sunday school wall. There were some smiley pictures but this was my favorite.
One of my favorite groomsmen shots of the year!

Jason and Tracey’s Florida beach ceremony was perfect and the reception behind the Sunset Beach House in Treasure Island was the same! With many family and friends joining the celebration, Jason and Tracey’s reception featured a great dinner followed by a chocolate fountain and popcorn.
Jason and Tracey recently wrote, “Thank you so much for making our day so perfect. Our guests were raving about you and your wife. As for Jason and I, we decided that you and Abbie were by far our best vendor that day. We were both extremely impressed with your work and can’t wait to see some of the finished pieces. Thank you again for accepting to be our photographer, we could not be happier!”
Jason and Tracey, you two were awesome! We were thrilled to be part of your destination wedding.
