Angela - Everyday

I took my dear friend Angela out to Ybor this weekend, to shoot around. It was one of the better weekends that we have had in quite some time here. It was surprisingly quiet in Ybor this weekend. We had a great time and found some great locations...

I'm beginning to find that alleyways are some of my favorite spots!

Rose & Massimo [wedding]

Rose and Massimo were married several weeks ago on a chilly January afternoon. After the wedding we headed down to Channelside to take a some groups shots. It was a lot of fun. It's crazy how quickly a crowd can gather just because they see a beautiful girl in a wedding dress...

The reception was at the Westshore Double Tree. Rob Sword was the DJ and kept the party going. :)

Rose and Massimo,

I hope you had a wonderful time on your honeymoon! It was a pleasure to spend your day with you.

Warmly,
Kerri

Kathy & Scott [maternity]

These two are super special to me. It was 8.5 months ago when my BFF, Kathy told me that she and Scott were pregnant. If I remember correctly, I screamed with excitement and we both shed some tears together. A few months later, they found out they were going to have a little girl. They have loving tourtured all of their friends and family by keeping her name a secret. Everyone has tried everything they can think of to get them to crack. To no avail. :o)

We met out at Sunset Beach on what turned out to be a superb evening. Warning blog world, Kathy is one of the most beautiful pregnant women you will see. I had a wonderful time documenting LBGS (Little Baby Girl S) and her parents.

Kathy and Scott,

Thank you for letting Rick and I be such a big part of her growing process. We are so blessed to have you in our lives. And we can't wait to meet your beautiful baby girl.

Love, Kerri

Christina & David [wedding]

First my apologies for a lack in blogging. It's been a crazy busy few weeks... I hope you all are doing well and gearing up for the Holidays nicely!

Now... on to the show...

Christina and David were married a few weeks ago at the Don Vicente Inn in Ybor City. You couldn't help but smile being around them. They've been together for 8 years and the still look like they are in the 'new' stage of their relationship. It was a blessing to be around them and their families and friends. There was so much laughter and an incredible amount of love flowing...

Christina and David - Thank you for having Dawn and myself along for the ride. I've enjoyed every second that we have spent together. I wish you many years of love and laughter. I hope you have a blast in Mexico!

Warmly - Kerri

Taima & Jason [wedding]

Taima and Jason were married a couple weeks ago at the Sirata Beach Resort on St. Pete Beach. The live in New York and wanted a beach wedding so headed down to Florida. Taima spent her college years at the University of Tampa.

They had a wonderful wedding on a gorgeous fall evening. Their family and friends all were so much fun. Dawn came along for the ride as well. I'm so blessed to have her as a friend and fellow photographer. She makes the weddings we do together even more fun than if I were alone.

Taima and Jason - I've had such a wonderful time getting to know both of you this year. My only regret is that you don't live closer. You are so full of life and emit a wonderful energy. Just the sheer sight of each other can spring you into a giant smile or a fit of laughter. Keep that alive. I wish you many years of happiness. Have a wonderful time on your cruise to the Mediterranean! I want to see pictures!!!

Love, Kerri
