    First  Dance

    Al and Melissa had an amazing wedding at the Florida Aquarium. This image is based off another image in my portfolio that Al fell in love with during our first meeting together. He had to make sure we had an image like this for their album and a large Metalic Art Print for the wall in their home.

    Final Touches

    Just before leaving the hotel in St Petersburg to go the the Florida Aquarium in Tampa, Melissa is double checking the details of her hair and makeup. I love being part of all these moments and including them in the wedding album. My primary role is to capture the emotions and relationships of the wedding to preserve them for generations.

    Penguin Suits

    I love the Florida Aquarium. It is an amazing venue, the staff is fantastic and there is a sense of wonder about the whole venue. While Al and his groomsmen were getting ready in a classroom area filled with amazing creatures and colors they had a very special visitor with very similar attire. The penguins also come out during the reception for a visit with the guests.

    Florida Aquarium Wedding

    Tampa’s Florida Aquarium is a fantastic and unique location for weddings. I love the different feel and options at the aquarium.

    Having the ceremony in front of the main panoramic window to the reef is both romantic and unusual. The light is amazing and the colors are stunning.

    Al and Melissa’s groomsmen were all avid fishermen. During the rehearsal they were looking into the reef and exchanging recipe ideas. It was great fun.

    John and Jennifer are such an amazing couple. I am really to have been a part of their wedding. They had a fantastic blend between the depth of their faith and the celebration with friends and family. The day was filled with dancing and laughing and so many memories.

    The Florida Aquarium is the perfect backdrop for their reception. Not only is it a beautiful venue, but the staff is amazing. They make every detail shine. It is one of my favorite venues.

    Here are a few of my favorite images from the wedding and the rehearsal. Enjoy!
