Cindy and Ricardo were married on August 8th in St. Pete Beach, Florida. They held a Chinese Tea ceremony before the traditional American ceremony. Part of the Chinese tradition is for Cindy’s bridesmaids to give the groom several tasks he has to complete for their approval to see his bride and for the ceremony to start. They insisted he make up a rap song to sing to her, which they deemed not good enough, he had to try again. He then sang a beautiful love song in Spanish, which they approved. :) Love their fun traditions. It was a monsoon of a wedding day and we were fortunate enough to get some outdoor pictures amidst the lightest part of the rain. I had such a…

The Oxford Exchange | Tampa Wedding Photographer | Alison Epps Photography
There are just SO many fantastic wedding venues in Tampa and I am just so giddy to get to photograph at the best of them. Ever since I stepped foot into The Oxford Exchange I DREAMED of the day I got to go camera-crazy in there. The black and white marble floors, the textured ceiling, the library, the natural light filled dining room with succulents EVERYWHERE. I had the pleasure of assisting another photographer at this wedding, so right off the bat I will warn you this post is not filled with tons of ooey-gooey love portraits, but rather I had the pleasure of focusing on the venue. And let me just tell you, their details and place settings made The Oxford Exchange that much more…
Jessica + Mike Wedding | Destination Wedding Photographer | St. Petersburg, Florida Wedding Photographer
Jessica and Mike traveled to Tybee Island, Georgia from Indiana to get married. When Jessica and I first started emailing I was in the hospital having had my baby girl less than 8 hours before, so I had to apologize later if my email was a bit choppy. :) We got to know each other during their engagement session when my daughter was a few months old and now we fast forward to their wedding on Memorial Day weekend I am already planning my daughters FIRST BIRTHDAY! Crazy! Jessica called me a week before her wedding with the bad news that her officiant was not able to make it to the wedding, so guess who stepped up to the plate? none other than the Brett Epps – Georgia’s…
Megan + Kevin | Savannah Destination Wedding | St. Petersburg Florida Wedding Photographer
First things first, this sweet couple sent me an awesome bottle of Champagne with a Thank You note that I don’t have to share with my assistant since she’s pregnant!! :) Nothing will make you edit with motivation like getting to pop a cork in celebration afterwards.. Megan and Kevin were married in the middle of May in Savannah, Georgia and I can not say enough about how sweet this couple is. They came all the way from California to have their wedding at St. Johns Cathedral in downtown Savannah. Many of the guests flew in from Ireland for the wedding and my assistant and I just loved all the details from this Irish Catholic wedding. For starters, we were loving all the awesome fascinator…
Ellen + John | Savannah Destination Wedding | Tampa Wedding Photographer
I’m not sure how I have been photographing weddings in Savannah for 3 years and haven’t had a wedding at Forsyth until this one. Ellen and John are not your typical bride and groom. When Ellen first contacted me, she knew she had to get married at the Forsyth Park Fountain in Savannah. It was her dad’s favorite place in the city. Ellen told me rain or shine she was getting married there. I loved her dedication to sticking that out. Her dad passed away about a month before the wedding and the last time she saw him was practicing their wedding walk. I am SO glad it was just the perfect sunny day for her and John to commit their lives to each other in…
