Joy and William’s Wedding at the Don Cesar Resort in Downtown St Petersburg, FL

If it had to be said, do allow me to be the one to say it: The Don Cesar Resort in St Petersburg ranks among the most endearing resorts I ever seen, period.

Earlier today I shot a wedding that truly moved me in ways very few wedding can, and have. My expectations were so high, in such an opulent venue I could only imagine the way the night was going to go down – downhill fast made possible by a vast, fully stocked with top brands, wide open bar representing chaos for everyone present.

Nope. Nothing. Not a single misconduct penalty! Except of course for the bride who got lovingly tipsy off a half flute of Champagne after eating next to nothing all day…

A solid brand of Christians put together an amazingly clean wedding where there was in fact, an open bar!

The character of the people present matched by the extraordinary professionalism displayed by the resort staff turned an event headed for disaster, into a truly blessed wedding I thank God almighty for being a part of.

My first photo opp at the Don Cesar was in 2002 if I recall, when I was blown away with the magnitude of the place considering its prime location along the Tampa Bay, overlooking downtown St Petersburg, FL.

Breath Taking Beach Wedding at Sunset, over Treasure Island, FL

7/7 was a very popular date for weddings this year.

Wedding Photographer, Treasure Island, FLI received numerous requests for wedding photography coverage for that day, and planned on being a blessing to someone rather than go for the highest bidder.

God answered my prayers today when I was honored to captured the beach wedding of Joyce & Jeff, shortly before sunset on Treasure Island Beach.

The venue was superb, Sunset Vistas’ large outdoor deck is ideal for family gatherings, casual weddings and parties.

Located on the beach, Sunset Vistas Beachfront Suites is the perfect destination for a memorable beach wedding and it delivered once again today, praises to God for a wonderful,extraordinary beach wedding!

Elizabeth & Greg’s Wedding at the Renaissance Vinoy Resort and Golf Club

Another glorious opportunity to serve my Lord Jesus Christ revealed itself today, actually before a wedding I was appointed to lead in photography, as I found myself helping out with the garden wedding’s setup since the bride was running a little late and nothing was ready when I got there…

When I first arrived at the Renaissance Vinoy I was challenged with parking since there was a city event scheduled the same day, then the bride and her party were a little late getting to their suite.

By the time we finally got the preparation started, the guests were already pouring in and had nowhere to wait since the garden wasn’t quite ready to accommodate 125+ people just yet.

Once finished, the ceremony site turned out to be simple yet romantic beyond words. This wedding certainly had a DIY flair but given the venue, I’m sure no one noticed the silk flower bouquets and boutonnieres among such an extravagant garden, blooming with fresh flowers and tropical plants.

If you find yourself considering the Renaissance Vinoy Resort, located in downtown St Petersburg for your wedding, plan ahead and do yourself a favor, hire a wedding coordinator/designer to work out the details so you don’t find yourself running late at your own wedding… ;)

Another Spectacular Beach Wedding on St Pete Beach, FL

I was blessed to be part of yet another spectacular beach wedding earlier today, taking place at sunset right on the Gulf of Mexico. Majestic weather  made for more than a godly get together, the sun setting over the water painted a perfect backdrop for this beach wedding…

St Pete Beach ranks among my favorite spots, for its location and serene setting, both important elements of each public beach wedding. Don’t hesitate to call on yours truly for unique photo-journalistic coverage that’s glorifying to God almighty!
