Tatiana and Gene chose the courthouse for a small wedding with a few good friends. The courthouse has in it, a tiny chapel, and I’m talking tiny. Squeezing 10 friends into this box of a room was a chore, but we pulled it off nicely with the help of my wide angle/zoom. The ceremony was short and sweet (as most are), with the exchange of vows and rings. Tatiana was beautiful, and Gene handsome. When we finished up in the chapel, we headed outside for a few shots in front of the courthouse, and along side of the courthouse, which boasts some beautiful pillars.
We had planned on hitting the beach for some fun formals, but they wanted to do some shots on the staircase of the beautiful work of architecture across the street. The Super Power building that is adjacent to the Fort Harrison Hotel… just refinished and a spectacular work of art. I try very hard to accommodate my clients so I said, “sure… we can do anything you want to do!” We headed across to what seems to be a public building in downtown Clearwater, got off a few shots, only to have security personnel come out and tell us it was private property and we would have to leave. I would like to know why we have to be so paranoid in our own city? That’s another story… not for this blog.
After that disturbing and aggravating encounter the bride and groom shuffled their friends off to the reception and the three of us headed for the North end of Clearwater beach. We spent about 45 minutes doing some very cool shots. Other than the encounter with several sand spurs in the dunes (not sure where they came from), Gene and Tatiana weren’t shy, and we had a great time getting some awesomely different shots! They were the kind of people that I always hope to get during a wedding shoot; especially on the beach… they didn’t mind getting a little sandy, sweaty, or wet. As you can see we had a great time!
Love, Laughs, and Photographs,
Wendy
