Obviously I wouldn’t bring this up if all Brides thought this way. Most Brides are unsure of what is typically even covered at a Wedding, though they usually have a vague idea. The answer is everything. But more specifically, I can list some of the things that this particular Bride told me she wanted captured at her Wedding, in both photo and video: her Mother helping her put on her veil and jewelry, the first time her Father sees her in her Wedding gown, her Groom’s face when he first sees her walking down the aisle, her first kiss with her new husband, her first dance with her Father at the reception, and her Grandparents enjoying her Wedding day. She told me that she had no way of knowing how long these people would be in her life and she didn’t want to forget their faces and the joy they brought her, in her life and on her Wedding day. She was echoing points that I often bring up to Brides went I meet with them.

The core message here is that on your Wedding day you’ll have both “motion” and “emotion”. Some things are easily captured in single frames and the impact is felt in a single expression on the faces of the people in the photo. Other moments unfold over time and need to be seen in their entirety to fully convey the emotions at play. The combination of excellent still photos and video footage will give continuity to all the important moments of your Wedding day and allow you to relive those memories completely.

Tampa Photo offers affordable Standard Photo/Video Collections as well as Photo/Video Lite versions that still have great features at a lower investment level.

This couch is actually what we moved out of the picture.  Kylie rested against it while Kevin set up his next shot and everything came together.

Off to see the guys.

Some concentrated window light on the details.

A balance of window light and directed flash keeps the emphasis on Pete.

Shot this off-axis from Kevin while he was zoomed in close for portraits.

Kylie’s mom and sister react to the couple’s “first look.”  Obviously, the primary shooter is going to focus on the couple’s reactions, but having two shooters allows one to sneak off and cover the side stories.

Kylie makes her way down to the aisle.

Before the ceremony ended I was able to run upstairs for a wide view of the Sandpearl property, while Kevin shot the sand ceremony.

Kylie dances with her father as the sun approaches the Gulf of Mexico.

Kylie and Pete share their first dance.

Iffy window lighting is overpowered by a special moment.

The gorgeous cakes staged in the window.

We sneaked the couple outside just in time for sunset.  We kept shooting for a bit and got the sky to really come out.

Look at that!  Beach sunset shots without even having to touch the sand.  Gotta love the Sandpearl Beach Resort.

Congratulations to Kylie and Pete!  You guys made great models and you make a wonderful couple.  Good luck and thanks for having Tampa Photo cover your wedding at the Sandpearl.

What you didn’t see, in the first part of Amanda and Andrew’s First Look at the Sandpearl Resort, were Eric’s shots, from Second Camera position, that include setting up Amanda, Andrew and the Wedding party for the First Look near the Caretta Restaurant at the Sandpearl Resort. Enjoy.

On the other hand, who can say how goofy girls can be when no one else is around? Their photographer.
