Alex and Ryan | Palma Ceia Country Club Wedding in Tampa FL

Alex cried when she saw my wedding images of other people she had never met. Ryan’s best man on such a big day was his father. I don’t have to say much more than that other than two amazing people will usually have an amazing wedding. It was fun to be around their warm friends and family and I really enjoyed editing all the images and re-living the day. Special thanks to the Palma Ceia Country Club who did a fantastic job and also DJ Grant Hemond and Associates who always run a classy event. All the pictures from the wedding can be seen here.

Best of 2009

View Photographer Profile

I can't thank all my couples enough for choosing me to document their weddings. They were all special and unique but with the commonality of great people. I am convinced if all my couples were in one room they would probably establish amazing friendships. The similarities in intelligence, depth, and sincerity make me feel privileged to have known all of you. To the couples, vendors, and everyone else I worked with this year I will let the song speak for me… you were all wonderful.

Carmel and Tony had a very intimate wedding on Sand Key Beach with a private reception at the Sandpearl resort for the closest of family and friends. It was unique as they helped each other get ready without all the secrets and traditions. We started with torrential rains and power outages only to have the weather clear for the ceremony and some photos later on. Angry clouds as if directed by the heavens went right around us and left us dry right up until dark. Enjoy the images and the slide show below is one of my all time favorites.
