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...



Tampa Engagement Portrait Photography: Farah and Johnny

I met Farah and Johnny on the beautiful beach at Honeymoon Island for their engagement portrait shoot, and had a blast. Not only are they deeply in love with each other... but as you'll see they're also deeply in love the New Orleans Saints!

We began with some close ups...







... and later went up on a deck overlooking the Gulf of Mexico...



One thing a lot of people forget about is that Honeymoon Island is filled with paths like this one. It's not just a beautiful beach.



As the sun began to set, we took some shots like this down near the surf...



Then, the Saints jersey came out for these shots...





This is of course just a small sample of the engagement portrait photos we shot that day. Congratulations to Farah and Johnny!
