Its not a Photobooth – Its Awesome | Tampa Wedding Photographer

April 14th, 2011

Everyone knows a photo-booth can be a little bit of fun but its sometimes a bummer to be crowded in the tiny things. 12-1Photography has toyed around with the idea of adding a photobooth to our arsenal for quite some time but as you may know, we don’t like to do things halfhearted.  If we [...]
 

Everyone knows a photo-booth can be a little bit of fun but its sometimes a bummer to be crowded in the tiny things. 12-1Photography has toyed around with the idea of adding a photobooth to our arsenal for quite some time but as you may know, we don’t like to do things halfhearted.  If we do something, we are goin to go all out to make it as awesome as possible.

A blustery day | Megan & Josh

February 15th, 2011

Megan & Josh are one of the coolest, most comfortable couples i have had to opportunity to photograph. Its like they were born in front of the camera!

Megan & Josh are one of the coolest, most comfortable couples i have had to opportunity to photograph. Its like they were born in front of the camera! I’m not even as comfortable on the other side of the camera as they are. Though, all this could have something to do with my awesome ability to make people very comfortable with me! Ok, maby not. They were pretty awesome all by themselves.
It had been quite blustery in the Tampa area for a few days. I called Megan (concerned about her hair blowing) No big deal to her! They were ready to have some fun plus, Josh had just gotten his teeth whitened so he wasn’t about to miss this! We started out at the University of Tampa, which is always a beautiful place for engagement pictures! We took our time at the school, then decided to get in the car and drive around Tampa to see what we could find as great backgrounds for their engagement pictures. I happened to have a few places in mind which don’t get photographed too often. If you take a look off the side roads, Tampa is a great place to photograph engagement pictures, or pictures of any kind. I love Tampa and the surrounding areas and the fact that Tampa has some of the best places to photograph anything, if you know where to look! Here’s a few of my favorite pictures from Megan & Josh’s Engagement Session.

Danielle and Matt are an insanely cool couple who were looking for a fun, artistic photographer for their Clearwater beach wedding in Sand Key. Before they moved here, they needed help planning their wedding and enlisted the help of the wonderful 12-1photography wedding planner,… Reid! Ha! Yep, I helped them make their decisions. They wanted a beautiful beach wedding and a fun, relaxed atmosphere for their brunch, wedding reception! They chose to have their beach wedding ceremony at the Sheraton Sand Key and their wedding reception/brunch at the Island Way Grill in clearwater beach. The Sheraton Sand Key has a beautiful location for a beach wedding, complete with umbrellas for guest to shade themselves from the mid day sun. The Island Way Grill has both indoor and outdoor wedding and reception locations perfect for parties of 50 to just around 200. Don’t quote me on the 200 though! It may be a little bigger or smaller.

Danielle & Matt had a beautiful, intimate wedding on the beach with family and close friends. The weather was perfect and the mood was wonderfully fun and laid back! The day was fun and had a smooth even flow. After the brunch reception, we were able to go back to the Sheraton and have some fun and take some cool, creative, wedding pictures / bridal portraits, and we came up with some great ones! They all have the 12-1Photography twist of course!  The Florida heat kicked in during the middle of the day and everyone decided to relax with drinks by the pool at the end, but Matt and his guys weren’t happy with just hanging out by the pool. They decided to jump in and 12-1Photography was there to photograph it! It was the best ending to Danielle & Matt’s perfect day!

Postcard Inn Engagement Photographer | Dan & Maria

January 5th, 2011

The vintage style has much appeal to all. It may be just because it looks cool or have a deeper meaning to some. It is classically beautiful and seems to enhance emotion while also creating an emotion of its own in each photograph. Holding a vintage photograph makes you think back to that time, or [...]
 

The vintage style has much appeal to all. It may be just because it looks cool or have a deeper meaning to some. It is classically beautiful and seems to enhance emotion while also creating an emotion of its own in each photograph. Holding a vintage photograph makes you think back to that time, or wonder what was that time in history like. The vintage photography look brings me back to a much simpler time when i didn’t worry about anything but playing! Weather its your parents wedding pictures or the latest historic photograph in a Time magazine, you wonder. What was the world like before me! We can now create photographs to look like they are from another time/antique, which gives them a sense of wonder. We have also created entire places that capture the old world, vintage feel in their setting. One place in St. Petersburgh, Florida does this well! The Postcard Inn. The Postcard Inn is literally right up the street from where I go surfing but I never knew it was there (as the postcard inn) It use to be another hotel which wasn’t taken care of very well. The new owners of the Postcard Inn have made it great!  Thanks to a wonderful couple, Dan & Maria from Pittsburgh, PA, I was show this awesome new place to photograph!

Maria loves the vintage look and feel. She had been searching the country for a hotel that had just what she wanted, so she could have a nice get away with her fiance and have a photographer give her awesome engagement pictures! She found a few in California and New York, but they were pretty dang expensive. She kept searching and found the Postcard Inn, which has been featured in many publications! Her next thing was to find a photographer she really loved! Maria found photographers she liked but none she loved, until one day in her exhaustive search she came across the coolest photographer she had ever seen!…..ME! Maria called me and we talked for an hour or so about her plan. She decided she wanted to use 12-1Photography for her engagement pictures down in St. Pete Florida! I of course agreed! I was so excited to have an awesome bride from PA call me!

When I arrived at the Postcard Inn and saw the place for the first time, and Maria in her awesome blue dress, smiling and ready for her engagement shoot, I knew we were going to have an awesome time capturing beautiful pictures for them to cherish. We had a great time hanging out at the Postcard Inn and created wonderful, classic, timeless photographs that will be treasured for the years to come. Here are a few of my favorites and the link to their engagement photo gallery for the entire shoot!
