Tracy and Kenneth, Tampa Photo Wedding, Sandpearl Resort, Clearwater Beach

Sherry and Adam, Tampa Photo Wedding, Sandpearl Resort

Sherry and Adam were married at the Sandpearl Resort on Clearwater Beach.  Here's a sampling of images from their special day.

Sandpearl Resort - Tampa Photo Wedding, Kylie and Pete

Kylie and Pete were married at the Sandpearl Resort in Clearwater, FL. This venue always offers so many photographic opportunities. I was second-shooting for Kevin, so these only represent a portion of the final image set provided by Tampa Photo.

This couch is actually what we moved out of the picture. Kylie rested against it while Kevin set up his next shot and everything came together.

Pete and his best man pose for some portraits in an upstairs hallway. I love balancing cool ambient light with dramatic flash. The window provides a great side light and a zoomed flash highlights Pete.

All natural light from some big windows in the reception room.

Kylie is escorted as the ceremony begins.

Before the ceremony ended I was able to run upstairs for a wide view of the Sandpearl property, while Kevin shot the sand ceremony.

A small window helps the details pop.

Shot this off-axis from Kevin while he was zoomed in close for portraits.

A few relaxed portraits of the couple after the ceremony.

Some light and bright cake details.

A sweet moment during the first dance.

As the second shooter, I was able to go for the more artistic shots knowing Kevin was covering the direct "safe" angles.

The direct sun coming through the windows made things tough so I just went with it.

Kylie and Pete were great sports and ran downstairs at dusk.

A final parting shot from the happy couple.

Congratulations to Kylie and Pete! You guys made great models and you make a wonderful couple. Good luck and thanks for having Tampa Photo cover your wedding at the Sandpearl.

Amanda and Andrew, Sandpearl Resort Wedding

Early May found me and Kevin back at the Sandpearl once again, this time to cover Amanda and Andrew's wedding.

Kevin was the lead shooter, but to make the best use of our time we split up at first. I worked with the guys while Kevin covered the ladies. Here we make good use of the Sandpearl's fancy bar and restaurant area.

Yikes, save it for the honeymoon guys!

We had some extra time while we waited for the ladies to finish getting ready (get used to it Andrew) so we played around with some more complicated lighting.

Amanda can't resist peaking as Kevin sets up the first look.

Amanda approaches her soon-to-be husband.

The bridesmaids were touched by their first encounter.

A Navy uniform cap stands at attention ready for use.

I worked some second angles while Kevin directed her.

While Kevin continues to shoot around with the couple, I steal the rings and use the piano to set up a shot.

Patterns are everywhere.

A touching moment between the groom and his parents immediately after the ceremony.

As the second shooter, I was able to sneak away during formals to make a few room shots before the guests enter.

We headed down to the water to play with the lovely dusk light.

Amanda works it alone for a while.

Again, while Kevin makes images of Amanda, I was able to concentrate on Andrew.

The party gets bumping as the DJ lights dance on the ceiling.

Congratulations Amanda and Andrew! Best of luck as you sail off into your futures together. Welcome to the Navy Mrs. Tattersol!
