Amy + Mike's Wedding

Several weeks ago I had the joy of going down to Florida to second shoot for a photographer down there, Ortiz-Sellers Photography. They had 3 weddings booked that weekend so they were in need of extra help in a big way, and I will take any chance I get to come back down to Florida for a visit. ;o) Tina Ortiz and her husband Bob Sellers were so great to have me come down & were so hospitable, letting me share their home, meet their 2 kids & 2 kitties and have some fun during my trip. I can't wait to go back to shoot again for them!

I also had a great time shooting the wedding alongside another of their associate photographers, Jeff, who does great work!

Here's a sampling of some of what I captured during Amy & Mike's gorgeous day at the Sand Pearl on Clearwater Beach.

Enjoy!

The hair & makeup...

I love the powder swirling in the air here, Amy sticking her tongue out at me and her pretty shoes in the window with the pool below.

This shot is probably my favorite from the entire day. I just love the turqouise blue water, the gauzy curtains and the gorgeous bride to make this shot great!

It could have been easy for Mike to pass off his tears as the sun being in his eyes but his smile and anticipation on seeing his bride for the 1st time is clear.

This shot of Amy and her dad says it all. Amy's tears of joy and you can see how proud her dad is to be walking her down the aisle. I just love the light in this image. Such a pretty day!

We had a great time down on the beach getting some fun and romantic shots of the happy couple and their wedding party at sunset. Perfect!

Amy was one happy bride! And so sweet to be around. She just glowed all day long.

The sweet smell of sugar...
