Back in the Dress: Casey and Scott

Casey and Scott were married one year ago this month on the beach.  Dad wasn’t there for their big day but they wanted dad to take some bride and groom pictures of them in their wedding attire.  In Casey’s email she said they could just “throw their clothes on” for a session.  Mom says she wishes she could throw on some clothes, even beautiful wedding clothes, and look as good as Casey and Scott did!  Casey’s gown was romantic and feminine with the ruffles and lace.  Her hair piece went well with the vintage look of the gown.  Scott looked dapper in his tux as well!  They walked around the Don CeSar before enjoying a gorgeous sunset on the beach.

We hope you have a wonderful first anniversary Casey and Scott!

Jennifer and Alex’s Indian Sangeet

An Indian Sangeet is a pre-wedding celebration for people to dance, have fun, and build the excitement for the wedding.  Dad joined Jennifer and Alex the day before their wedding to celebrate their sangeet ceremony.  Another Indian tradition is the Mehndi ceremony and Jennifer had mehndi, or henna, applied to her hands and feet.  The bridal mehendi is said to signify the strength of the bride’s marriage.  It is usually a detailed design with the groom’s name included.  Jennifer looked amazing in her Indian bridal attire!

At the celebration there was Indian dancing, a mehendi artist for the guests, and more Indian wedding traditions.  Dad enjoyed watching the custom of male relatives of the bride and groom exchanging garland to show the two families coming together.  It was a terrific evening!  Dad also got to see Brie and Rich again which is always a great time.

Pictures from the ceremony on Saturday will be blogged soon!

Amy’s Bok Tower Garden Bridals

Dad assisting again:).  A few weeks ago Dad had a great time photographing Amy’s bridal session. We recently posted about Amy and Evan’s fun wedding (also did their engagement session) and now that the wedding is over we can share these pictures of Amy without having to worry about Evan taking a peek before the big day!

Bridal sessions are a great way to capture images of the beautiful bride without the wedding day time constraints. Dad met Amy, her mom and grandma at the wonderful Bok Tower Gardens. Despite being blown around by the wind and being attacked by an over zealous swan (dad even had his shoes pecked at) they found some great locations to photograph the awesomeness of Amy. Enjoy!

Stacy Trashes Her Dress…Or At Least Gets it Wet.

The Monday after Stacy and Chi’s wedding, they went out to the beach with dad for a Trash the Dress session.  Despite the name of these sessions, the gowns usually survive without any damage:)  Trinity Wedding Video was there to capture the fun.  Stacy and Chi were fantastic and dad had a great time!

Elaine Back in the Dress

Sunday evening dad met Elaine and her husband for a session in Ybor.  Elaine wanted some edgy, urban style pictures back in her wedding gown.  The three of them explored the streets of Ybor as the sun set and ended the session enjoying the city lights.  Elaine looked so pretty and was great about getting a little dirty for some pictures:).
