You Bring the Fun, We Deliver the Memories!


I cannot begin to tell you how much fun we had with Katie and Mike!! From the very beginning I can remember Mike saying, "We want creative pictures". I get this request a lot and I always reply, "If you bring your "A" game and allow yourself to let go and get in the moment then I can promise you that you will have pictures that look amazing!" Well they brought their A+++ game and Booray Perry was there to capture every moment.

I think that we covered every inch of St. Pete Beach for their Wedding Pictures. From the boardwalk to the Ocean and everything in between...even the showers! Yes, you read that right...even the showers! We ended up with so many great pictures that I had a hard time choosing which ones to share. Here are some (not all) of my favorites.


Mike and Katie had no problem getting in the water for this shot.

You would never know from this picture that the beach was packed with tourists on their Wedding Day! They opted to take a Sunset Cruise for their reception so we scheduled their ceremony for 2 o'clock in the afternoon and there were people everywhere. Despite that, they had no problem getting into the moment as if they were the only two on the Beach. Have I mentioned that we loved working with this couple?!


I love this shot because it makes you wonder what they are saying to each other and makes you feel like you are sharing a private moment with them. That's what I love most about the pictures that Booray takes...they evoke emotion.

And finally...the showers! I told you there were shower pictures!
Booray and I would like to thank Mike and Katie for allowing us the opportunity to work with them and wish them many happy years!

If you would like some tips on how to make your Wedding Day Pictures come alive, please contact me anytime.

Treasure Island Beach Wedding at the Sunset Vistas

Recently one of our Brides booked her hotel stay at the Sunset Vistas in Treasure Island. We've performed several Beach Weddings on the beach in front of this hotel, but I've never had one of my Brides actually stay there.  Our photographer, Booray Perry, was pleasantly surprised by some of the additional photo opportunities that this hotel provided.
They had Adirondack chairs in the most vibrant colors set up in the courtyard and the landscaping was beautiful.


This hotel sits right on the public beach in Treasure Island making it a very desirable hotel because you do not have to pay the hotel to use the beach and you have the added convenience of getting ready and walking down from your room and out onto the beach for your Wedding.

Here are a couple of my favorite pictures from this wedding.


Melissa and Scott, we wish you many happy years!

Beach Wedding Photography

There is so much thought that goes into planning a Destination Wedding. You begin with choosing a date, picking the perfect Florida beach, selecting wedding colors, making travel arrangements, reserving a restaurant for your reception dinner, etc. that is seems a shame to go home without the whole story being told. If I could offer one piece of advice over all others it would be to invest in your Beach Wedding Photography. Our photographers can be booked for additional time outside of your Wedding Package for those getting ready, dinner reception, or even cutting the cake pictures.

Your Wedding Day has a story to tell and this story is told through the pictures long after the big day has come and gone. We are very passionate about photography and want you to relive your wedding day for years to come. We are very fortunate to work with the photographers over at Booray Perry Photography to capture those moments during your Ceremony and immediately afterwards on the beach.  But remember the Ceremony is only a portion of your Wedding Day. It's important to think about the story you want to tell and book one of our photographers to capture those moments.
Pictures like this are something that will make you look back and smile as you remember your dress hanging there waiting to be put on!
