Wedding in Lake Park, FL

by admin

Today, the Lord provided magnificent Florida weather, as Melissa and Chris spoke their vows of love before family and friends at Lake Park, in Lutz.

By the mighty hand of God, stormy weather turned from grey to bright, breezy and sunny just as the bride arrived in her stretched limo.

Lake Park is a vast area conveniently nested among residential & commercial neighborhoods in Lutz, FL, and one of my favorite hiking spots.

Heather & Jason’s Wedding Day, Spring Hill, FL

by admin

Since getting started back in 1985 I have been blessed to shoot more beach weddings than I can count. Somehow, earlier today I was blown away with the most spectacular beach I’ve seen in over a decade…

Paradise Found?

Spring Hill is a neo-traditional town located on the Florida gulf coast, north of Port Richey.

In other words, this slice of heaven on earth offers residents the opportunity to live and work in paradise.

In their search for paradise, people often travel to the far corners of the earth, only to come up empty-handed. In reality, paradise is a lot closer than most people think. Long stretches of pristine beaches made up of the brightest of white sands. Refreshing breezes blowing off the waters of the Gulf of Mexico. The peace and tranquility of gently lapping surf, singing gulls and sandpipers. These are the ingredients that make up the city of Spring Hill–paradise found.

Residents of Spring Hill are lucky to not only live and work here, but also to have the opportunity to play here. When work is finished and the rest of the errands can wait, Spring Hill is the perfect location for a vacation. Mild year-round temperatures, yet still a change of season; spectacular beaches free from crowds; the natural beauty of a beach-side destination located on a designated scenic road; aesthetically-pleasing architecture and award-winning, expertly-designed layout; convenient and quaint town center, amenities such as tennis courts, pools, dune walkovers to the beach and lots of green areas in which to relax; these are the qualities of the new paradise of Spring Hill.

Don Cesar Resort Wedding Photographer, St Petersburg, FL

by admin

The Don Cesar Resort in St Petersburg ranks among the most endearing resorts I ever seen, period.

Earlier today, I photographed a wedding between two Christian teachers that truly moved me in ways very few wedding can, and have.

I have to admit, my expectations were very high, as the “Don” is such an opulent venue I could only imagine the way the night was going to go down considering the huge, fully stocked wide open bar stocked with top brands…

But nope! Nothing went wrong! Not a single misconduct penalty! Except, of course, for the lovely bride who got a bit tipsy off a half flute of Champagne after eating next to nothing all day. :)

Fir a change, a solid group of Christians put together an amazingly clean wedding where there was in fact, an open bar!

The character of the people present at today’s Don Cesar wedding matched by the extraordinary professionalism displayed by the resort staff turned an event headed for disaster, into a truly blessed wedding that did give praises to God.

I recall my first photo opp at the Don Cesar was in 2002, when I was blown away with the magnitude of the place considering its prime location along the Tampa Bay, overlooking downtown St Petersburg, FL.

First United Methodist Church of Dade City Wedding

by admin

Earlier today, another seemingly typical church wedding turned extraordinary when the Lord blessed me as I photographed the wedding of Jennifer and Steve Long at the First United Methodist Church in Dade City, FL.

As if Dade City wasn’t picturesque enough on its own, my first visit to this historic church left me in complete awe with the magnificence of God. Then, both the bride and groom turned out to be spiritual examples for a whole new generation to learn from.

Our Lord’s plan for today’s wedding not only included a phenomenal couple and their guests, our heavenly Father’s will led me to capture some of the most incredible church exterior shots I ever photographed at a church wedding.

I give praise to the Lord for such phenomenal photo opportunities and, or course, for the unraveling on His plan for my life as an award winning wedding photographer.

Today, at the First United Methodist Church of Dade City, I came face to face with a wave of creativity made possible by, of all things the weather and a man made building.

If you are considering a wedding ceremony at the First United Methodist Church in Dade City, FL then don’t procrastinate and book your date with me ASAP, since this church or I are typically booked up to 2 years in advance during busy months which are spring and fall.
