Bridal portraits, yes they are still in!

Bridal portraits before the wedding are almost a thing of the past, we rarly do them.  But, doing another bridal session after the wedding is totally coming back!  It definitely does not have to be a "trash the dress" session.  It just allows you to wear your dress another time, and get additional portraits in a totally different location than your wedding, or a similar type of location but without the weather or timing restrictions.  That is exactly what we did with Leighann.  She and James got married last August in Marco Island and had a beatiful nautical destination wedding.  Florida in August, super hot! So in January, we went over to the harbor in Dunedin with all the sailboats which totally went along with the theme of her wedding.  The weather was amazing and it was a much more relaxing situation for her as well.  Definitely something to consider ladies!!!

Team Shoot!

Constantly raising the bar and becoming the best at what we do is super important to me!  Every few months as a team we are working on lighting, directing, posing, motion, and building our creativity.  I love having a team that is so talented, we all have different strengths and learn so much from each other.  This one we did in Ybor and really focused on off camera lighting, shadows, and architecture.  Here's some of my favorites!  Thanks to Erin and Clinton for being our fabulous models:-)

Michael + Candice the Day After

Don't worry ladies, this isn't her real wedding dress:-)  Instead of an engagement session Candice and Michael wanted to do a really fun trash the dress session and this really cool pier is right down the beach from the Doubletree where they got married.  Candice bought another dress for $150 so there was no problem going in the ocean or doing whatever they wanted without ruining her real gown, which was gorgeous by the way:-)  They were totally up for whatever so we had a lot of fun with this one!  Love you guys! So much fun!
