]]> Kristina and Ariel http://www.marybethtysonblog.com/index.php?link=181 http://www.marybethtysonblog.com/index.php?link=181 Thursday, February 10, 2011 I'm closing my old blog with the final wedding of 2010 and an incredible couple! Kristina prepared for the day at the Westin in downtown Tampa with her mom and closest friends. I arrived a little early to spend time shooting her details while she finished her hair and make-up. I love being in the room when a bride is preparing for her wedding day. I love the excitement and anticipation and remember how special that day was to me. Kristina is a lovely person, inside and out! I was so honored to be there and photograph the union of two incredible people!

























The reception took place at the gorgeous Tampa Yacht Club. The Yacht Club is always a classic and wondeful place to get married!

]]> New Things Coming Soon! http://www.marybethtysonblog.com/index.php?link=179 http://www.marybethtysonblog.com/index.php?link=179 Friday, January 07, 2011 Please excuse the lack of blogging! I'm so excited about some major changes coming to my branding, website and blog!

After three years with my lovely palm tree in my logo I've decided to move on. Why am I moving on? Well, many reasons. When I started my business I saw myself shooting most of my weddings on the beach and wanted to attract those brides. As my busness has grown I'm still shooting on the beach but also many other exciting places and want to attract those brides as well. I also feel my business and photography has grown past the cute palm tree.

It only begins with a new logo too!

Soon you will see a very new and beautiful blog and website too designed by the very talented Infinet Design guys! I'm not one to rebrand every few years so hopefully this will be my final rebranding until I retire 50 years from now.... of course I'll have a few refreshers every now and then.

So there you have it! New look, new blog, new site, new logo, new everything!

So don't give up on me yet! Next blog entry you see will be the intro to my brand new beautiful branding!

]]> The Stripling Girls - Brooklyn, NY http://www.marybethtysonblog.com/index.php?link=178 http://www.marybethtysonblog.com/index.php?link=178 Monday, December 13, 2010 I love this family! Susan is a wonderful friend of mine and her daughters could possibly be the sweetest little people walking the face of this earth. I went up to visit Susan this past weekend and really enjoyed seeing her life in a place so different from my life here in Tallahasee. As her daughers played with their friends I kept saying "this reminds me of Sesame Street!" I loved it! Thank you Susan for being such a fantastic friend!





















Emma and her adorable friend, Sophe.





]]> The Mariscal Family http://www.marybethtysonblog.com/index.php?link=176 http://www.marybethtysonblog.com/index.php?link=176 Sunday, November 28, 2010 I've dedicated my blog to mostly posting weddings as I'm rarely able to post portraits because of the number I shoot a year. Every once in a while someone comes along who is a dear friend of mine from my pre-photo years and I have to take the time to post a few pictures from their session. Dr. Nahum Beard and his beautiful wife Melissa, have been in our lives for almost 10 years. I was honored to photograph her family.

I also wanted to post these because everyone always wants to know "what do we wear for our session?" The Mariscal's hit it out of the park with their attire! I've been there, I know it's tough to pick clothes for a large group of people.



















]]> Hallie and Vincent - Watersound Resort, Santa Rosa Beach, FL http://www.marybethtysonblog.com/index.php?link=175 http://www.marybethtysonblog.com/index.php?link=175 Sunday, October 24, 2010 Hallie grew up vacationing on the beaches of the Florida panhandle. Vincent asked Hallie to marry her under the blue moon on the beach years later. It was only appropriate that they exchanged their vows on the same beaches. Perfect is the only way to describe this wedding and this day. I felt so fortunate to be there to witness such a beautiful event.

Location: The Watersound Resort

Coordinator: Shay Bell

Make-up artist: Jill Van Otten

Florist: Events by Nouveau

Band: The Beach Mice































]]> Carolyn and Charlie - The Ritz-Carlton, Sarasota, FL http://www.marybethtysonblog.com/index.php?link=174 http://www.marybethtysonblog.com/index.php?link=174 Thursday, October 21, 2010 At some point a law was passed that sunday weddings had to be beautiful and peaceful. Carolyn and Charlie's wedding was just that. Carolyn looked like a classic bride from the 20's. I wish all weddings could be have the feeling of a sunday wedding.

Wedding Coordinator: Kathryn Sartwell

Location: The Ritz Carlton and The Ritz Carlton Beach Club

Officiant: Dr. Stephen Lortz

Florist: Flowers By Fudgie

The aaaaamazing band: Blue Stone Circle

























]]> Melissa and Kent - Destin, FL http://www.marybethtysonblog.com/index.php?link=173 http://www.marybethtysonblog.com/index.php?link=173 Tuesday, October 19, 2010 The day was perfect. Not too warm and a little wind to remind us of the arrival of fall. Melissa and Kent were married at St. Rita's Catholic church but dressed at Emerald Grande and returned that night for the reception to celebrate. This was one of those events that make you want to get married all over again. Sweet and beautiful.

Event Coordination: Shelby Peaden at Shelby Peaden Events

Make-Up: Renee at Two Fishes Artistry

Florist: Events by Nouveau

Ceremony: St. Rita's Catholic Church

Reception Location and Catering: The Emerald Grande

























]]> Kathryn and Ben - Bainbridge, GA http://www.marybethtysonblog.com/index.php?link=172 http://www.marybethtysonblog.com/index.php?link=172 Monday, October 04, 2010 The recipe for a southern wedding is wonderful southern people with big hearts and warm smiles. Kathryn's mother said it best, "Only in the south can you have a blue grass band jamming outside, Lisa and the Elusions playing rock and funk inside and the Georgia game on in the bar all at the same time!"

Thank you Kathryn and Ben for allowing me to be a part of your beautiful day! It was truly an honor!























]]> Amy and Michael - After Wedding Session - Montana http://www.marybethtysonblog.com/index.php?link=171 http://www.marybethtysonblog.com/index.php?link=171 Tuesday, August 17, 2010





















]]> Amy and Michael - Montana http://www.marybethtysonblog.com/index.php?link=170 http://www.marybethtysonblog.com/index.php?link=170 Sunday, August 15, 2010 It's only appropriate for Amy and Michael to be married in the mountains of their home state of Montana. The wedding was elegant and small with only family and a few of their best friends. Michael and Amy exchanged vows in the Seeley Swan Valley nestled between the Mission Mountains and Glacier National Park. It was almost as lovely as this beautiful couple.

Florist and Bridal Crown: Habitat Floral Studio in Missoula, Mt

Location: Holland Lake Lodge

Post Wedding Session: Glacier National Park

Dress: Designed and made by Amy's mother with 100 year old vintage lace

































]]> Sophe and Dusty - McDonough, GA http://www.marybethtysonblog.com/index.php?link=169 http://www.marybethtysonblog.com/index.php?link=169 Sunday, July 25, 2010 I love taking the opportunity to shoot with a friend when it presents itself. Because my husband and I had a baby in May I planned on taking June and July off but when Karlin called and asked if I would be interested in helping her with Sophe and Dusty's wedding I couldn't turn her down. Karlin Connell is one of my best friends and an amazing photographer. It's always a pleasure assisting her at weddings and I look forward to assisting again before the summer is over!

Below are a few favorites from the day!

]]> Amy and Mike - Eden Gardens http://www.marybethtysonblog.com/index.php?link=168 http://www.marybethtysonblog.com/index.php?link=168 Saturday, June 12, 2010 Amy and Mike were married at the beautiful Eden Gardens State Park. Amy grew up in Panama City but now lives in Chicago where she met Mike quite a few years ago. The best way to describe the day is elegant and lovely. The perfect wedding.

]]> Blog Posts Coming Soon! http://www.marybethtysonblog.com/index.php?link=167 http://www.marybethtysonblog.com/index.php?link=167 Monday, June 07, 2010 I realize it's been a long time since I've blogged. I'm smack dab in the middle of the busy season and 11 days ago my husband and I welcomed our first baby into the world! (pictures coming soon!) Needless to say my blog is suffering as a result.

Don't give up on me yet! I'll update the blog with images from my most recent weddings as soon as life slows down. Or until it becomes manageable.
