Tara + Matt

Tara and Matt are one of the sweetest couples I have ever met.  I had met with both of them and shortly after, found out that Matt had suprised Tara by booking us for their wedding!  When we talked about their engagement session location they wanted something really different and kind of vintage but travel related which fit perfectly the place I had been dying to shoot at, the Tampa Heights Trolley Barn.  It turned out to be even better than when I had initially gone to look at it!  It rained for like 2 days straight before our session so half the warehouse had water covering the floor which gave it a totally unique look.  There's pockets of light from the ceiling, old, weird bathrooms, and a chalkboard.  Tara is a teacher so it fit them perfectly, although the equations on the board are a little bit past what she teaches her kids, and Matt:-)  They are getting married this weekend and I am so excited to capture their special day!   

{Kevin + Rowena @The Rusty Pelican}

Somehow I missed the fact that Kevin has a twin brother:-)  Bo, is actually Kevin's fraternal twin brother but they look a lot a like, apparently 5 other people were mistaken as well!  We had a lot of fun with this group:-)  The deep red florals and the girls in red dresses was gorgeous!  The tall grass next to the water made it look like there is an open field right there on the water.  I love how differently that location looks during the day verses night.  There was also a small door that was open that does under the Rusty Pelican which made for another really different look.  The night went by so fast, and was full of so much joy and excitement.  I'm honored that we had the privelige of capturing it!  Congrats Kevin and Rowena!
