I photographed this backyard wedding back in June and am just now getting it up to view which is how i work. I do tons of photo shoots all the time. Weddings, Engagements, Bands and other event photography. I have so much stuff happening and a ton more blogs I’ll be getting too eventually so keep in touch here and leave me a message from time to time!

Jenilee and Brian are a really fun and extremely cool couple. I didn’t meet them till the day of the wedding! Jenilee’s mother Cindy, called me months ago (which is always the best thing to do to book your wedding vendors) and told me she and her daughter loved my photography and wanted to have me photograph their wedding. I suggested a meeting as I always do but they were set and she asked how to book me and where to send the check? I love getting right to the point! As the title says, It was a backyard wedding kinda near Tampa, at a beautiful house on a private lake with little islands in the middle of it. The lake bottom was made of a different type which caused the water to be perfectly clear and blue! They also had their own little beach in the back yard – pretty cool! Backyard weddings are replacing the ballroom wedding because they are more intimate and a bit less expensive and it allows friends and family to be themselves in a familiar environment. I arrived a little early – say,.. an hour early! I really don’t like being late and brides don’t want you to be late either so I always do my best to make sure the bride isn’t stressed about that too! I took some detail pictures as Brian and some of the guys set up the entire wedding scene in the back yard. They did a great job. There Is always some pride to be had in setting up your wedding for you bride! I’m pretty sure that might be attractive to the bride as well! I never found out where the flowers came from or the cake! Cindy, if you happen to look at this leave a comment and let us know! Here’s a few of their awesome wedding pictures!

Wish they all could be california girls | Carl & Sutton

It’s not often I get to venture outside the Tampa wedding photography world, though I sure would welcome any opportunity. I AM cruising to Jamaica in October to photograph a wedding there!

It’s not often I get to venture outside the Tampa wedding photography world, though I sure would welcome any opportunity. I AM cruising to Jamaica in October to photograph a wedding there! Pretty excited about that! I photographed a wedding for some friends of mine ( Mike & Mary – View it here! ) about a year before Carl and Sutton’s. Carl happens to be Mary’s brother and Sutton happened to love my pictures. She liked my pictures enough to fly me all the way to Santa Barbara, California! I can now proudly say “I am a Santa Barbara, California Wedding Photographer! I do coast to coast wedding photography! It was actually Buellton, California, right near Solvang and Santa Barbara. I arrived on a Thursday and was able to hang out and see the beautiful area for a few days before the wedding. I would be happy to spend the rest of my life doing wedding photography in Buellton and the surrounding area! The wineries are beautiful, views are amazing and I really LOVE the area! We visited The Bridalwood and Firestone wineries and a few others i can’t remember the names to. Both Bridalwood and Firestone winery are beautiful places for weddings and i hope to have one there soon! For anyone from the area reading this and wanting some really cool, fun wedding photography with a crazy fun photographer – Give me a call! I would LOVE to! Back yard weddings are becoming more popular and Sutton was one of the first to create this new trend. Sutton also had the awesome help of friends and family to create center pieces for the tables and all the decorations for the day. As I arrived I saw one of the ladies putting the finishing touches on her bouquet! Sutton’s parents worked extremely hard to have the entire property looking awesome for the day. It was nice to see everyone taking pride in what they were doing to bring together this amazing day for Carl and Sutton. Their families were amazingly wonderful to be a part of for the week. With no ceremony and reception rental cost Carl & Sutton were able to splurge a little on some photography which is how I got there! Back yard weddings are intimate and beautiful and I would suggest them to everyone! They save you money and allow you to hire a photographer that’s worth hiring to capture your day! You spend so much time preparing all the little details for the wedding but what’s the point if you don’t have it captured in a picture to remember and show your family and friends for years to come. Always hire the best and most fun photographer you can, and you will be sure to get great wedding pictures you will always love! Here are a few pictures from Carl & Sutton’s Santa Barbara Back Yard Wedding! To view the full day go to the on line gallery here or at the bottom of the page!

Enjoy!
