Sirata St Pete Beach Florida Wedding

Posted on September 13, 2020

Summer weddings in St Pete Beach can be a little warm, but the reward tends to be amazing sunsets! This June Sirata St Pete Beach wedding ceremony featured a white dreamcatcher and pretty greenery against the bamboo arch. The couples wedding reception was held in the Coconut Palm Pavillion and featured a coffee barista for guests before the ceremony and a donut bar for dessert. The grande finale was a sparkler exit on the beach.

Loews Don Cesar Wedding St Pete Beach Florida

Posted on March 20, 2016

Don Cesar Hotel Wedding St Pete Beach Florida Kym & Michael. I’m so excited to share this beautiful wedding weekend at the Loews Don Cesar Hotel in St Pete Beach. The bride and groom live in North Florida, so this destination wedding at the Pink Palace became a great weekend celebration with friends and family. I met up with the couple and their family members before the wedding ceremony rehearsal, and the bride surprised the groom with a delicious dessert food truck for everyone to enjoy! I love being able to photograph my couples before their wedding day, especially at the Pink Palace.

Sunset Vistas Beachfront Suites Treasure Island Florida Wedding

Posted on January 22, 2016

Wow! We had a blast photographing this destination wedding at Sunset Vistas Beachfront Suites in Treasure Island Florida, even with a few raindrops. Bad weather can help create some amazing photos. When the skies opened up with a rainstorm late in the afternoon for this Florida Beach wedding, the staff at Sunset Vistas quickly relocated this couple’s ceremony location to under cover in the courtyard. When the rain slowed up, we were able to photograph the couple with their guests in the beautiful tropical courtyard at Sunset Vistas. When we were certain the rain and lighting had paused, we raced to the beach at sunset for some dramatic portraits of the happy couple. The rain created some beach puddles, which we used to our advantage in capturing some dramatic beach reflection portraits. At first the cloudy skies photographed as a beautiful intense blue, and about 20 minutes after sunset we were treated to soft pink skies! We have learned time and time again to keep photographing after sunset at the beach, because the skies can develop with gorgeous colors, even on a rainy day!

St Pete Beach Treasure Island Family Kids Photos at Sunset

Posted on August 23, 2015

My clients traveled from the Orlando area for an evening of sunset beach portraits in Treasure Island St Pete. Treasure Island and surrounding central Florida was experiencing some rainy weather but we were able to photograph their session with nice overcast light and intense blue clouds for the strobist sunset shots. This session reminds me once again how much I love my nikon 85mm 1.8D lens: sharp eyes, smooth skin tones and beautiful out of focus backgrounds. In my opinion it is the perfect versatile portrait lens and I use it far more than my 70-200mm as it allows an intimacy with my clients.

Treasure Island Beach Couples Engagement Session for Guests of Tradewinds Island Grand Resort

Posted on August 15, 2015

My clients were vacationing at Tradewinds Island Grand Resort in St Pete Beach Florida and hired me to photograph their beach engagement portrait session. We selected the wide natural beach at Treasure Island to add some variety of terrain to their portrait session. This year the last week in July and first week in August brought lots of rain to the Tampa Bay area, stuck by a cold front weather pattern. After looking at the radar obsessively, we decided a morning portrait session would work best for them. The weather held for us and we were surprised at the end with some amazing clear skies and bright sun! I had a blast helping select outfits based upon where we would be shooting on the beach and also for the changing natural light on this morning. The rains provided some huge puddles for some water reflection shots. I think the results speak for themselves…WOW! What a gorgeous couple and morning at the beach…

Don Cesar St Pete Beach Intimate Wedding Portraits and Ceremony

Posted on May 4, 2015

My clients opted for a small intimate wedding ceremony at the Don Cesar Hotel in St Pete Beach. Along with a few friends and family, they gathered in St Pete Beach to celebrate their nuptials. The weather report had been predicting afternoon storms for a few days and as luck would have it, a rainstorm blew into St Pete Beach just before we were scheduled to start photographing our couple. We quickly switched gears and went inside the Don Cesar Hotel for some pre ceremony portraits of this gorgeous couple. Luckily the rainstorm only lasted about 30 minutes and we were able to continue with the portraits and ceremony on the beach. As you can see by these images, we had a great time photographing this wedding!

Treasure Island Florida Sunset Beach Family Photos and Ideas on What to Wear to Your Beach Portrait Session

Posted on April 19, 2015

Its no secret that we love photographing portraits sessions in Treasure Island. The wide beach at Treasure Island St Pete Beach offers many photo opportunities in the natural grasses and Palms as we stroll out to the water with our clients. On this day we hit the jackpot with perfect clear blue skies and gulf waters. My clients were vacationing at Treasure Island Grand Resort and made the quick 10 minute drive to Treasure Island for their family portrait beach session. We come back to this area for portrait sessions frequently, but the beach looks different and unique every day due to the changing weather, lights and seasons.

Clients ask me all the time, “What should we wear to our beach portrait session?” I really like the idea of selecting 3 colors. The tans, whites and blues of this family’s clothing looks amazing against the water, sky and sand. The son’s gingham shirt, dad’s striped polo, daughter’s embroidered dress and mom’s necklace all add some unique visual patterns. Another bright color (like a yellow or pink) also could have been added for more pop and this works especially well for larger groups of people to add visual interest.

Alden Beach Resort St Pete Beach Family Portrait Photos

Posted on April 18, 2015

My clients have been visiting the St Pete Beach area for a number of years and their favorite place to stay is at Alden Beach Resort. Tucked between Tradewinds Grand Island Resort and Tradewinds Guy Harvey Outpost, Alden Suites offers kitchenettes, separate living rooms and bedroom and great views: all without a resort fee.

Next to the beach at Alden Beach Resort is a great lawn with a wall of seagrape which provided a great place for the kids to play during their stay and provided a nice shaded area for us to start photographing this adorable family. I really love the pop of green against their navy, white and light tan outfits.
