We're Moving Blogs

It has been an amazing first year here at Stephanie A Smith Photography. Our business continues to grow and expand while we continue to meet amazing people and capture their most important memories. With growth comes change, and I am excited to announce we have found a new blog to call home. Blogger has been great but we recently decided to move over to Wordpress so that you can see many more full sized images and be able to share your thoughts much easier than before.

So check out the new Stephanie A Smith blog at http://stephanieasmithblog.com

First blog on the new post.....Ashlee and Luke. And just because I can't post a blog without pictures here is one from Ashlee and Luke that you will see on the new blog.

Kim and Tom Favorites

These were some other favorite photos from Kim and Toms wedding that I didn't make the cut in the earlier blog about them.....So. I figured why not create a totally new post dedicated to my runner up favorite pictures. The last one is my favorite that my second shooter, Valeriya Ritter took. Huge thank you to Val for helping me out that day.

What I Love About Kim and Tom ~ St. Petersburg Wedding Photographer

There are alot of things that I loved about Kim and Tom. For starters, I loved the fact that when Kim was finished getting her hair done at the salon, she jumped in my car and we drove together over to the hotel. I loved the fact that Kim's nieces were the cutest little supermodels/ flower girls that could strike a pose at a moments notice. I loved Tom's reaction when he saw Kim walking down the aisle. I loved all the family and friends that gathered, danced, went in the photo booth, and let their guard down for pictures. And I loved being a part of their wedding. Here are some of my favorites from Kim and Tom's wedding.

Rose and Neal ~ Tampa Wedding Photographer

Rose and Neal were one of those couples who just wanted to have fun, create fond memories, and enjoy the beautiful beach during their wedding. Being from Great Britain its not everyday they get to experience beach weather with West Coast sunsets. Their Holiday started over in Disney where they spent the first few days around Orlando. The next stop was the beautiful Don CeSar hotel where they spent another week. It was here that they were married. Rose wore a gorgeous coral colored dress and Neal matched her perfectly with a light linen suit and pink boutonniere. I had two favorite memories from this wedding. The first was Rose calling her mom immediately following the ceremony. Rose's parents couldn't attend the wedding however Rose was in constant contact with her mom who helped with every detail of the wedding. The other favorite memory was Neal's ball and chain. Rose purchased this toy while in Disney and thought it would make for a great photo opt. I must say, this was my first ball and chain photo opportunity. Neal was a great sport who played along well for the pictures. I was crippled with laughter by the end of the shoot. All in all it was a beautiful ceremony with many fond memories and new experiences that I hope Rose and Neal will carry with them forever.
