MA and Alan- you both are too fab.  I completely loved your wedding, your trash the dress session, and getting to know you.  CONGRATULATIONS on your marriage.  I could not be happier for you both!

On a side note, the re-branding process for Andi Diamond Photography was just completed, thanks to Manta Creative.  A quick peak of some of the new elements are above.  My wedding website, portrait website, and high school senior website (coming soon), Facebook fan page, and blog will all be getting launched with the new artwork, design, and logo.  I am super excited to share it with you, so keep your eyes peeled!

Period.

Just like I had imagined at Camie and Bubba’s E-session, these two are a blast to photograph, and up for anything.  Not only was their wedding beautiful, but their Haute and Hitched session was even more glam.  Here are just a few of my faves:tampa florida trash the dress portrait session tampa st petersburg trash the dress wedding photography 1 tampa st petersburg trash the dress portrait session tampa clearwater trash the dress portrait session tampa st petersburg trash the dress photography tampa st petersburg trash the dress wedding photography tampa st petersburg trash the dress photography 1 Camie and Bubba, it has been such a treat getting to know you both and capturing all of these moments for you.  I wish you lived in Florida so I could continue to watch your relationship grow.  You both compliment each other so well and it is a joy to be around you!  Enjoy being newlyweds!  xo  Andi

She and Charlie have been married for 8 years now…and let’s face it- every girl wants a bridal photgraphy session.  Or a Trash the Dress session.  Whatever you call it- most of us girls secretly (or very openly) desire to slip back into our wedding dress and play the princess for the day.  It’s fun, it’s sexy, and it’s simply beautiful!Jen has the prettiest skin!  I am so jealous!We continued shooting until the “golden light” hit!  And WOW- was it amazing!  After seeing Laurie’s Trash the Dress images, Jen really wanted to go to the same spot for the wrap-up of her session.Jen, I hope you had a blast at your bridal/TTD session!  I know I did!  You looked so beautiful!  I am looking forward to your family session next month!  :) A

Ha!)- never to be worn again!  Then comes along the Trash The Dress session (TTD).  Most brides do it shortly after the wedding but Vicky has been married for almost 7 years now….and has been planning her TTD session for months!  And why not?  What a great excuse to put on the ‘ole wedding dress and be HAUTE’ and FABULOUS!  Here are some of my faves along with her slideshow!Picture it- a bride walks into a bar…Ha!  OK, so I am not a very good joke teller.  But this happens to be one of Vicky and Adam’s favorite bars…so why not??!!  Don’t mind the bride and the photographer…we will just be like flies on the wall!  (We did get alot of looks…but mostly just curious beer drinkers!  It was Vicky’s little taste of celebrity!)Here is Vick’y slideshow.  She rocked it out!
