Clearwater Wedding Photography

Sometimes grooms need to have their hair done too!

I caught Mitch kissing his hair stylist...

Who also happens to be his beautiful bride Kristine!!

The cute little squished face in the middle is Mitch and Kristine's son, Saylur.  I'm guessing he gets more kisses then he can handle... he is so darn adorable.

Mitch and some of his fellow band mates from Men from Mars have formed a new band, 3 Peace.  If you are in the mood for some awesome music and a good time check them out... Wednesdays at the 5 o'clock club in Sarasota, and Thursdays at the Distillery in Bradenton.  You might be surprised to know that all 3 band members have little babies who are almost the same age.... Perhaps they will start their own band in 15 years or so?

Congratulations Kristine & Mitch!

Aurore & David

David and Aurore have been dating for years and were both very excited to finally tie the knot. They had their ceremony at Lakewood Ranch Polo Club which offers an amazing backdrop for portraits.  It was a very windy day!  Thankfully someone had some extra string for the arch, and duck tape for the aisle runner or they both would have been long gone before the ceremony even started...

Aurore handled the wind with a smile, whoever pinned her veil in did a great job!

The flower girl before the ceremony... I think she is deciding on whether or not to go through with the wedding. :0)

 

Check out these fabulous gold Bridesmaid dresses!

This image made me laugh out loud when I first saw it, doesn't it look like Aurore is blowing away!?

I always try and get a couple of extra special portraits of the bride...

One of my favorites... 

Congratulations Aurore & David!!!

Emily & Mark- Don Cesar Wedding Photography

Emily and Mark are smart... they left snowy Indiana and headed south to St.Pete Beach for their destination wedding at the Don Cesar.  

I think the idea of having multiple flower girls is great!  These three were such hams :0)

Emily and Mark had a very cool surprise when we were out on the beach...

Wedding day BLISS...

We had plenty of time for portraits so we did some fun ones like this...

I bet they will look back at this one when they are freezing cold in Michigan and miss the warmth of sunny Florida!

When the sun finally did set we had to be upstairs for the Reception.  While the wedding coordinator lined everyone up I had Emily stand in this window sill and captured some beautiful portraits of her!

Congratulations Emily & Mark!!!

Katie & Andy

Katie & Andy had destination wedding at Island Park and Marina Jacks. Most of their guests were family that traveled half way across the world to witness this sweet couple's vows! Planning a destination wedding can be difficult but they pulled it off flawlessly...

Journee & Brian

Journee and Brian's wedding took place at one of my favorite venues- The Sand Bar on Anna Maria Island. The entire day was perfect... the sunny beach, beautiful people, cool fall weather, combined with lots of genuine love and laughter. It almost felt like I was inside a J.Crew catalog!

The vintage style dress...


The gorgeous couple...


Here is a shot of Dylonn, he and Journee work together at D.Cole Hair Design. He did an amazing job styling everyones hair for the wedding but apparently he needed a little help with his tie...


The flower girl contemplating her escape...


Beautiful blue sky!



Brian and the girls...


The kiss!


Congratulations to Journee and Brian!

Andrea & Brian

Yesterday I headed out east to the Christian Retreat Church in Bradenton to photograph Bryan & Andrea's Wedding. Here's a sneak peek...

This is Andrea, looking very elegant...
I just love the intensity of her expression in this one.

A very sweet moment during their first dance...



Congratulations to Bryan & Andrea!

Jill & Andrew

One of the things that makes weddings fun is that no two are ever the same. Jill and Andrew's wedding was one of the most peaceful and spiritual events I have ever photographed.

The church itself did not offer too many attractive outdoor locations. The day before the wedding I found a beautiful home nearby and asked if they would allow us to shoot in their backyard...
One of the cutest flower girls ever!

Brittany & Kamal

FUN... Is how I would describe the wedding of Brittany and Kamal. They were married at their church in Bradenton. The Bride and Groom had a great group of fun loving and laid back guests and a great time was had by all.

The bridal party was up for about anything and they all seemed to love getting a little crazy in front of the camera.

The glowing Bride!

Rose Petals or Bubbles? Why not both?
