Kevin & Amber: a destination wedding in Tampa

Since this wedding, I’ve moved and become a Melbourne wedding photographer.   If you’re in Melbourne or the surrounding suburbs please contact me today about shooting your wedding by email or phone at 0403-515-044.  If you still need Maine wedding photography I suggest Rene Minnis Photo.

Clients always ask me how far I travel for weddings.  Well, the answer has changed.  I’m based in (Melbourne, Australia) and my recent trip to shoot a wedding for Kevin & Amber in Tampa, Florida is about 10,000 miles one-way.  I’m pretty sure that’s the furthest I’ve traveled to do wedding photography.  Well, not including my first wedding shoot in Seoul, South Korea, but that was before I was a pro!  And I was actually living in Seoul then so I don’t think it counts.

How did I book a wedding in Tampa?  Well, Kevin & I have been friends since he started college, about 1996?  Kevin is one of the reasons I’ve shot so many weddings in Pennsylvania, as well.  Word travels when you have great friends AND great clients and Kevin & Amber are both!

I spent a week in Tampa and we had a fantastic time!!  Lots of tennis and family parties, a great wedding and a relaxing day at the beach (when it was 40 degrees back home in Maine!)  I missed being away from southern Maine and my family but if I was going to go for that long this was the perfect trip for it.

I couldn’t choose fewer photos to blog so there are a lot.  Sorry about that!  When you spend so long and get to know so many great people it’s VERY hard to limit it.  I’ll keep the blah blah blah short and focus on Kevin & Amber’s many wedding photos!  You may notice a theme (Amber laughing!)  Enjoy!
