With just a few short months between our connecting and their wedding date, we were relieved that our anticipation for their gorgeous Brandon, Florida estate wedding would be short-lived.  And sure enough, the beauty and splendor of their Casa Lantana wedding day exceeded even our highest expectations!

Every wedding holds sentimental value to us, but there is something extra emotional when we get to document the union of two dear friends.  When we were introduced to Britny and James by a mutual friend, we had a strong feeling that their wedding would be a very special addition to our photography portfolio; but we would learn very quickly what an important addition they would be to our lives as people!

“Should we take some time to discuss this?” he asked discretely.

“No,” said our bride.  “I want them.”

And with that, just halfway through our coffees, we were welcoming Cristina and Nick to the McNeile family!

A photographer herself, Cristina knew exactly what she was looking for in her ideal wedding photography team.  It is always an extra special honor to be appreciated and valued by a fellow creative!

As Emily and Kalen approached us looking like a Pin from one of our wardrobe inspiration boards, we fell head over heels on the sidewalks of St. Pete for this couple!  Initially, they had booked us only for an engagement session, so this was our first time having the pleasure to meet them.

When Richy and Kelsey came into our lives seven months ago, we all agreed that we wanted our working relationship together to be based on a strong foundation of friendship; but I don’t think any of us really understood how strongly our bond would grow over these months of planning for their wedding.

We clicked so naturally with our friends Katie and Jordon that you would have no idea that our first meeting was on their wedding day!  Reaching out all the way from Minnesota, our couple had a small, tropical destination ceremony in mind.  The botanical beauty of Sunken Gardens in St. Pete Florida just happened to fit the bill, and we were the perfect local photographers to get the festivities covered!
