Style

Our unique photojournalistic style of wedding photography will tell the story of your special day in pictures. From the details of your preparations, to your first kiss and reception, your wedding photos will capture memories that you will treasure for a lifetime.

We typically begin each wedding shoot with the bride, as she is making her final preparations, with a "pretend I'm not here" approach to capture the excitement and anticipation of the moment. We like to do the same thing with the groom, if time permits. Next, we move to the location of the ceremony, and capture images ranging from guests arriving and mingling, to the florist's finishing touches.

As the ceremony begins, we use unique angles and a variety of techniques to document the arrival of the wedding party, and the bride's walk down the aisle. During your ceremony, we respect all traditions and settings, while doing whatever possible to capture every important detail... from the placing of the rings on each finger, to the bride and groom's very first kiss.

During "formal" photo sessions with the bride, groom, wedding party, and family members our experience shines. We have a unique ability to put everyone at ease in front of the camera... resulting in genuine, natural images as opposed to stiff poses and "fake" smiles. And of course we apply the same style of photo-journalistic Tampa wedding photography to your reception, capturing the details you'll want to remember and treasure for a lifetime.

Natural images. Genuine emotion. This is indeed what sets our images apart from other Tampa Wedding Photographers.

Experienced

When choosing a photographer to photograph your wedding, it's important to consider experience. Tampa wedding photographers are not certified or licensed, meaning that anyone with a camera can declare themselves a "professional Tampa wedding photographer". It is, unfortunately, a buyer beware environment. Our experience speaks for itself on the gallery pages of our website. From intimate ceremonies on the beach, to much larger affairs at the Hyatt and Doubletree Hotels, for example, we are familiar and comfortable with the stress, responsibility, and professional standards that are inherent in all wedding photography. Read more about our owner and photographer, Nick Sanders, on our Tampa Wedding Photographer AboutUs page.

Tampa Beach Wedding Photography

In addition to the normal challenges of wedding photography, Tampa beach wedding photography presents an entirely different set of challenges. Not only does your Tampa, FL wedding photographer have to be able to anticipate and capture important moments, choose the right angles, and meet all of the other expectations the bride has set, but he or she must also be prepared to deal with extremely difficult lighting, weather, and environmental conditions. Often, the very best beach wedding photographs are the most difficult to shoot, including pictures of the bride and groom's first kiss with the sun setting directly behind them; wide angle shots of the ceremony on a beach peppered with sunbathing tourists and curious onlookers; and long shadows on everything from the sand to the wedding party's faces.

Experienced Tampa, FL Wedding Photographer

After photographing countless beach and casual weddings throughout Tampa Bay, we've experienced all of the above... and more! Using professional grade equipment and on-site techniques such as spot metering, fill flash, dynamic depth of field, and more, we know how to anticipate and overcome the inherent challenges of Tampa, FL wedding photography on the beach. All of our packages also include complimentary professional retouching and color enhancement services whenever necessary. The result? Beautiful memories of your beach wedding captured forever in top quality, high-resolution digital photographs that you'll treasure for a lifetime.

Suggested Beach Wedding Locations in Tampa Bay

The Tampa Bay area offers many choice locations for your upcoming beach wedding. The first thing to decide is whether you'd like to have your wedding on the beach behind a local hotel or resort, or if you'd prefer to get married on one of the many public beaches in the area. If you'd prefer a hotel, check out locations such as Rocky Point in Tampa, Clearwater Beach, St. Petersburg Beach, Redington Shores, Indian Rocks Beach, or Pass-a-Grille. Public beach choices include Honeymoon Island in Dunedin, Sand Key Park in Clearwater, or Fort DeSoto in St. Petersburg.

Tampa Beach Wedding Photography Tips and Advice

For the best wedding photographs of your beach ceremony, it's best to hold the ceremony 60 to 90 minutes prior to sunset. Known as the "golden hour", this is when the sun's rays at are their longest, and most flattering. You'll want to be sure to have enough time for both the beach wedding ceremony, as well as couple and bridal party photography afterwards. Also consider the time of the year when planning your Tampa beach wedding. Summers are hot in Tampa Bay, and lend themselves to more casual dress and attire. While rarely cold, the winter breezes on the beach can be chilly and strong... but the very clear, cool air often results in deep blue skies and beautiful sunsets. Beach weddings in Tampa Bay lend themselves to bare feet, loose clothing, great receptions, and lasting memories. The most important advice we can offer for your upcoming beach wedding is to simply have fun!
