Ybor city has long been one of my favorite places for Engagement Sessions. With a history dating back to the 1880s, Ybor has a great Gilded Age vibe to go with the excellent architecture which I use as backdrops for my Ybor City Engagement Sessions.

Recently, there has been a resurgence of couples booking Engagement Sessions, along with their Wedding Photography Collections. Most couples see these sessions as another creative outlet to feature themselves and use the resulting photographs as personalized “Save the Date” cards and/or unique Table Cards for their reception.

Check out the great E-Session images I had with Julia and Eric below, and be sure to check out ExpressAlbumDesign.com for samples of our custom-designed, photo Table Cards.

Your Wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime event, and your memories of that event, should be showcased in a tasteful, artistic manner.

For years, Tampa Photo has been the undisputed leader, in creating unique Coffee Table Books, from their client’s events. Our albums have received national acclaim and we showcase at least a dozen of our contemporary album designs at our Tampa Photo website, and here on our blog.

When couples try to cut costs, and pull money from their Wedding Photography budgets, the “Art” of the Wedding Album suffers, becoming cliché with the overuse of special effects and gauche designs that are meant to mask bad photos, taken by the “less expensive”, inexperienced photographers hired by these overly budget-conscious couples.

The images from your Wedding and your Wedding Album are something that are going to represent who you are as a couple, as you move through life. Your photos and album will constantly be compared to those of your friends and family members. Don’t you want your Wedding images and Wedding Album to showcase your event in the best possible light?

Below this post, you can preview our latest Storybook Album/Coffee Table Book that has been designed in the most contemporary fashion. These custom-designed Coffee Table Books are available in our Artist’s Album Collection.

Book an Artist’s Album Collection before February 12, 2010 and get a $300 dollar discount at the time of booking.
