Photo Booths Done Right!
There are a lot of Photo Booth styles popping up in the event industry, so we thought we'd quickly tell you why we made ours the way we did! 1) Our Booths Are Closed with black curtains, because most people are just a little camera shy or shy in general. You and your guests will feel more comfortable being yourself and being goofy when everyone can't spectate on you! 2) We Don't Have an External Monitor for the same reason as #1, but also for the opposite possibility -- maybe your cousin who has had a little too much to drink gets a little TOO comfortable in the booth! We
3 Benefits of Booking Your Photographer & Videographer Together
It is common practice for modern day couples to book their photographer first of all major services. Many times, the videography is much farther down the list of priorities. We understand photography is one of the things brides and grooms look forward to most, and are most excited to lock in for the day. However, we recommend booking with a company who can provide both Photo and Video services for your wedding day because of the benefits of the vendors working together. Here are 3 of those benefits: 1) Cooperation Your photographer and videographer working together means that they will be conscious of one another's shots, and not step in the
Candid Wedding Photography — A Healthy Perspective
Something we hear a lot in this business from couples planning their wedding photography & videography is: "We really want it to be candid. We don't want it to be pose-y." We totally understand where they are coming from! But, if you haven't spent much time in front of a professional camera, it can be hard to understand just where those candid-looking shots actually come from. Truly candid photography means the photographer hangs back and captures the live events without interfering with or directing the photograph. It is expected at parts of the wedding day like the ceremony, first dances, bouquet toss, and others like that. However, when it comes to
A Few of Our Favorite Spring Engagement Sessions
The weather has warmed in both Michigan and Florida and we have *hopefully* seen the last of the snow until next winter up north!

Connecting with Local Wedding Professionals in Tampa
As a wedding photo & video company, we pride ourselves on staying up to date with the latest technologies and making things simple on our brides by completing the vast majority of our booking and planning processes digitally.

To counter this, we have made a concerted effort over the last year to attend networking events and build relationships with the awesome wedding professionals in the Tampa area. One such event was on April 5th: A meeting put on for local wedding pros by The Association of Bridal

Wedding Photography & Videography: Price vs. Value
There is so much to consider when booking wedding photography and videography. However, most couples have never been so heavily involved in planning a wedding, so they don't always know where to start, what to look for, and what questions to ask. We totally get that. The trouble is, out of not knowing where else to look, many brides and grooms tend to just compare dollar amounts to one another. Budgets are important. But before you categorize all of your wedding expenses and write them in stone, you should know that there are many ways in which the VALUE of what you book can far outweigh a relatively

Post-Wedding Portraits: Why They’re a Great Idea
Wedding photography, along with videography, is one of the most important aspects of a wedding day. Both photography and videography are meant to capture the emotions, details, and memories of the day. But wedding photography is also meant to produce gorgeous portraits that you can put up in your home, at your desk at work, or include in your photo album for friends & loved ones to "ooh" and "aww" over. Sometimes, the hustle and bustle of a wedding day doesn't allow for the laid-back feel during the photo shoot that can help achieve the most beautiful portraits you'll keep and look at for years and years. On your wedding day, everyone
