rustic weddings

  • Paisley Sunshine Photography | Tampa Lifestyle Wedding Photography

    Living in Tampa, Florida has certainly had its upsides to being here, especially when it comes to photography. A majority of our weddings usually are destination weddings from couples all over the country. Each destination wedding for us is unique in a sense that we get to spend lots of time communicating with our couples by phone, video calls and messages. There isn't a greater feeling than walking in on a wedding day feeling like we are best friends with our clients!

  • Capturing Love In It's Purest, Rawest Forms

    Hi y'all! My name is Brookelyn Riley, and I'm a wedding and lifestyle photographer based in the South. I'm a homegrown North Carolina girl that loves bright colors, golden hour sunlight and connections that are so lively and vivid that you can feel them through a still photograph. I've been shooting professionally for almost six years now, and from the start, my favorite things to photograph have been people that love each other. That's my brand, always – whether that's a mom's love for her child, a dad's love as he sees his daughter walk down the aisle or a couple that have found their forever in each other. That being said, my favorite photoshoots are the ones where I get to capture love in it's purest, rawest forms, and most often, those emotions are truly present on a wedding day. Here's a look at some of my favorite wedding day #realmoments:

  • Sidney Leigh Photography

    Hi there, friends! I’m Sidney, a twenty-something small town girl that somehow wound up living in a big city while working as a full time architect, though my heart is steadfast in serving others and capturing the sweetest moments in their lives through photography. About seventy percent of my time is spent shooting weddings and engagements and running a business, and the rest of my time is spent daydreaming about doing just that.38When I was growing up, I never imagined that photography or design would be what I felt called to do. I was seventeen when I purchased my first camera. At the time, someone I held so near to my heart was enduring an unseen burden that was nearly insurmountable. I sold everything I owned that held any significant value at all to give him this camera as an outlet and a new way of choosing to view the gravity that he carried with him, as a way of moving forward and changing his frame of mind. I never could have imagined that a camera would in turn carry me and change my own line of sight. 142Photography quickly became a way for me to challenge myself to see the intangible, to capture emotions rather than the physical, and it has captivated my heart entirely. Being part of the best day in couple’s story and creating memories for them to relive over and over is such a humbling, overwhelming privilege, and I am constantly reminded of how lucky I am to share in their love (happy tears and all, haha).16294Each and every wedding and engagement that I’ve photographed has resonated with me in a different way, and it’s so hard to ever choose a favorite! Every single time I think to myself, “Wow. This one is the BEST!”, and I hope that feeling never fades. It’s impossible to pinpoint a wedding that I love any more than the rest, but I’ve chosen to share a wedding that was local to my hometown that really put a twist on the rustic trend with a classic, neutral palette with pops of gold and champagne. The designer in me was over the moon at how beautifully detailed this wedding was, and it truly was a joy to photograph such a beautiful, sweet day in the small, rural Virginia town that I love so dearly.1 188 5 31021 12 28 24 20 30 36 3446494452
