Springfield MO Wedding Photography: Unique Floral Designs

I recently shot a courtyard wedding behind the Inn at the Bay in St. Petersburg, FL and wanted to share a few pictures of the floral and candle decorations, as they were very unique.

Kudos to Scott Darhower of Apple Blossoms Floral Designs in Tampa for capturing the essence of the ceremony's setting in his designs.  Here are a few examples of his beautiful work...

I'm no expert on floral designs, of course (that would be scary!)... but I really thought his design reflected a classic look with a very modern and slightly eclectic twist. 

Here's one of my favorite shots from this couple's intimate courtyard ceremony, framed by Scott's beautiful designs...  

You can see a lot more of Apple Blossom's Tampa wedding floral designs online. 

You can also see examples of floral designs from other weddings we've shot in both Tampa, FL and Springfield, MO by visiting our wedding photography galleries anytime.

And of course please join me in congratulating Michelle and Billy, who were married in this beautiful setting!  Here are a couple more pictures from their wonderful wedding...



Belinda and Ray--Sirata Beach Resort Wedding Photography

The nice thing about planning your beach wedding at hotels like the Sirata Resort on St. Petersburg Beach is that if Mother Nature doesn't cooperate on your wedding day, you can move the entire affair inside and be very well taken care of.

That's exactly what Belinda and Ray did, and it all worked out just fine.

We began shooting their wedding pictures about an hour before the ceremony, as the bride was making her final preparations...






And of course we took some shots of Ray and the Groomsmen, too.



The planners at the Sirata were concerned about rain clouds in the area, and suggested moving the ceremony to a pre-determined covered location... which turned out to be a great spot for their beautiful wedding ceremony.





After the ceremony, the sun started peeking out so we took advantage of the opportunity to head out to the beach...







Belinda and Ray had originally planned on an outdoor reception, but due to the weather conditions, the Sirata offered to move it indoors to the Grand Palm Ballroom... which turned out to be a perfect setting.








These are of course just a small sample of the memories we captured for Belinda and Ray on their wedding day. If you'd like to see more Tampa wedding photography pictures, please visit our website at www.coolchangephotography.com. Congratulations to Belinda and Ray!!
