New “Intimate” Package

2008-11-14T19:40:00Z

In the past few months we’ve received quite a few inquiries requesting smaller/shorter amounts of coverage for elopements & ceremony-only coverage.
I’m sure a lot of this is due to the state of our economy resulting in couples finding the need to “downsize” some wedding expenditures but still have beautiful photos to show for it.

I’m happy to announce that we now have an “Intimate” 3 hr package to serve this growing need.
Cruise on over to our pricing for more details!

Sometimes emails can make the most average of days simply wonderful

2008-08-07T01:44:00Z

I was having a “bleh” day today when I received a simply beautiful email from a client. She totally made my day so much that I just had to call her right after receiving it to tell her what a big smile she put on my face.

Here’s a portion. The mail was a lot longer but I’ll spare you the sappier, private details:

I realized that we never wrote a testimonial for your website! Please feel free to use the one below!

Ed,
Words cannot describe the beauty of your photos! And after viewing the pictures from a friend’s wedding, I am even more thankful that we had you at our wedding. You captured the love, beauty, joy, and playfulness of our wedding and turned it in to works of art. You were wonderful to work with and we get tons of complements on our pictures (we have them all over our home)!

Anywho! Again, I hope you are doing well. Please keep in touch with us. Mark and I think about you often (hard not to when your work is in every room of our home) and consider you a close friend.

Lenia & Sean - Sirata Resort, St. Pete Beach

2008-05-24T02:34:00Z

Lenia, Sean and crew we’re a great bunch who came down from Mass. to enjoy perfect weather on their big day.

Fun is an understatement… first time I’ve ever had a bride get handcuffed! In fun of course by a friendly officer of the St. Pete P.D. who happened to pass by at the right time and was willing to play along.

Entertainment by the always outstanding Grant Hemmond and associates.
The cake topper was one of the most adorable & appropriate I’d ever seen.

Christina & Joe - St. Johns Greek Orthodox, Tampa

2008-05-09T18:29:00Z

I just love this couple. Even if I did not photograph their wedding, Christina & Joe are just the type of people I’d love to hang out with. Fun, witty and quite obviously silly in love.

The ceremony was held at St. John the Baptist Greek Orthodox church in Tampa followed by a beautiful reception at Embassy Suites in Channelside.

Entertainment provided Nate from DJ Pros, although Gabe dancing with the flowers and kissing me on the cheek was pretty entertaining as well!

I had the pleasure of working alongside videographer Bryan Coward of Tampa Wonderworks. By far one of the best videographers I’ve had the pleasure of enjoying a wedding with.

Bryan has posted a Highlight Reel of their video on his blog so hop on over there and see Brian’s art in action!

New house updates & more…

2007-01-05T03:13:41Z

Tonya and I just finished moving into the home we purchased here near downtown Tarpon Springs. It’s so huge compared to what we’re used to. I finally have enough room for a dedicated client meeting/presentation area and I’m very excited about that. I’ll be posting some of the before and after remodel photos to show all the work done to the house.
The photos and more news about the move and home improvements will be posted on my new personal blog at http://www.edwardholtzman.com
Stop by for idle chit-chat & ramblings.

Michelle & Matt - St. Pete Beach

2006-11-25T18:04:01Z

This wedding was a riot! Michelle, Matt and the wedding party were the absolute definition of fun to work with. They were all about the photography and were willing to try any ideas.
I started out the day in the morning with the guys playing frisbee and football on the beach, spent some time with Michelle and the girls in the brides suite and at the end of the day after the ceremony we all ended back out on the beach having more fun.

Elaine & Jorge - Gulfport Casino

2006-11-25T16:51:00Z

Elaine & Jorge had the perfect sized wedding at the historic Gulfport Casino Ballroom… Just big enough to include all of their close friends and family and just small enough that they had time to spend with all of their guests. It was a touching bi-lingual ceremony. My personal favorite highlight was when Jorge surprised Elaine by singing to her. It was such an honest and pure display of love.
