Barbra and Gino's Wedding Part I

I think we'd all be so lucky to have such a relaxed and fun day as Barbra and Gino had on their wedding day! Their wedding was so lovely. I even had a great time with my lovely assistant Joanna. Barbra and Gino are two beautiful people with beautiful spirits and a great group of friends and family who surround them. Their wedding was a sweet ceremony next to the water at The Rusty Pelican in Tampa.





Check out her gorgeous updo!


Gino's so handsome!


He was soo relaxed!














Hello Gorgeous!


This has such a "Going to the chapel and I'm gonna get married feel to it"


Some details!






What a cute flower girl!


Did I mention that Barbra's signature colors were blue and white! A girl after my own heart :)




Gino will definitely make a great father some day.












Barbra's parents were soo happy!

This little flower girl wasn't having a great day. But she sure was cute!

I'll be doing a second posting from this wedding soon! I have to get ready for tomorrow's wedding with Stacey and Michael but check back!

Thanks!

An image from Barbra and Gino's wedding!

Wow, it took me a little longer to blog this photo. Reason being, with my new 5d Mark II, I didn't realize that the raw files are not supported in Photoshop. Well, I learned my lesson and I got it taken care of. Turns out it was just a little plug-in. Bleck. I'm so not computer savvy, and this is a good reminder :) 

Anyway, well here's an image from Barbra and Gino's beautiful wedding at The Rusty Pelican this past weekend. I had the ultra fabulous Joanna to help me out and I'm telling you, with Joanna along, a girl can't go wrong :) 

Barbra and Gino are still on their honeymoon in Hawaii. Can't wait to hear all about the trip. Ahh, Hawaii. Luckyyyyyyyyyyyyy them :)

I have a ton more photos to share but I need to get back to editing and toning so I'll just leave you with this beautiful image. Check back soon for more!

Thanks!

Albums!

In anticipation of this weekend's wedding in Tampa, I thought I'd share a few albums I recently received back from my album company. Anya requested traditional matted albums for her parent albums, and I was more than happy to oblige. Anya's personal album is going to be a more modern coffee table flush mounted album. I can't wait to show off that album when it comes in!  

How it works for albums is the couple and their family receives their proofs and they use these for guidance to what images they want in their album. I try to guide them in telling the story of the day but I try to let the families decide all of their favorite images.
The sky's really the limit with albums. There are so many different styles, cover options, and mounting options. It's so much fun to pick out your album!

Anyway, on to the albums. Here ya go!

I love the touch of using the invitation mounted in the front.


Gotta show off some Studio Blu love :)

Don't forget to check back next week for this weekend's lovely wedding!

Thanks!

Laura and Bobby's Wedding Part II

So this little post, ok, big post is from the second half of Laura and Bobby's wedding. After the ceremony we took the limo around and took some great portraits in their favorite parts of the city. I applaud Laura and Bobby and all of their wedding party really cause it was freezing! They were real troopers in letting me take so many photos. Then we were on to the reception at Soldiers and Sailors Hall. The reception was amazing. Soo beautifully decorated. And being such a lover of the color blue, I was amazed to find out that Laura and her family did most of the decorating themselves. One of the nicest touches that I'm happy Laura went through with was she hired a professional lighting company to do the lighting. This is always a treat because it just makes the reception oh so much better, especially for pictures! 

Now on to some tasty images, great details, and special moments!

Isn't this little guy too cute?

I have to include a picture of Hank's friend Adam. 

This was a fun spot that Laura insisted she wanted a portrait from. I love the Terrible Towel!

Birdcages rule!

Isn't this just soo pretty?

Awww, Adam. 

I just love the light and the tenderness of this moment. 

Thanks!
