You know those couples that are simply beautiful inside and out… well this is Bliss & Rafal! 💛 

We LOVED getting to meet this gorgeous couple for their engagement photos at Pass-a-Grille Beach! We started the shoot off by walking around the cute downtown and then finished the session off at the one and only St. Pete Beach! That iconic Florida sunset was the highlight of the shoot! 🌅 Bliss & Rafal were the sweetest couple and kept us laughing the whole evening. We cannot wait to capture their wedding at Opal Sands this November!

Jessica + Jose Step Into The Limelight | The Hotel Zamora | St. Petersburg Beach, FL

We LOVE what we do and and we really ENJOY our clients!!!!! What looked like was going to be a gray cloudy day turned into a beautiful sunset engagement portrait session. Congratulations Jessica and Jose! You two are a wonderful couple!!!!! Can’t wait for your wedding day!

Jessica is a nurse practitioner and Jose is a retired NYC detective. Two such noble professions, for which we are grateful for their service to our country! Jose was born and raised in NYC and then had family move to Tampa about 15 years ago, and he moved down about three years ago.  Jessica was born in Michigan, but has been in Florida since she was three years old. 

This precious couple met at a bar in Ybor during the infamous Tampa celebration of Gasparilla. During a graduation party for Jessica, Jose proposed in front of all their friends and family on the rooftop of the new CURRENT hotel,  with panoramic views of  Tampa Bay. It seemed only suiting to select a location with a view of the ocean for their engagement session as well! 

Their home is a house divided in only one way - and that is with sports! It is a Yankees/Rays and Giants/Bucs household! This fun-loving couple have a fun, completive spirit and they also enjoy traveling and the beach. 

We began their session at the first boutique hotel to be built in St. Pete Beach in decades, The Hotel Zamora. This white-washed Mediterranean palace offers up breathtaking architecture anchored in a bygone era. Inspired by its namesake Spanish province, the hotel’s striking Romanesque façade is the framework for luxury overlooking the Intracoastal Waterway and the Gulf of Mexico.

Abby + Eric Step Into The Limelight | Sirata Beach Resort | St. Petersburg, FL

Abby and Eric met In April of 2017 when a mutual friend set them up on a blind date. Eric drove two hours to take Abby out for dinner and drinks. They hit it off right away and have now been together for over 2 years. One day, when they were on vacation in Punta Cana,  Eric got down on one knee and asked for Abby’s hand in marriage. Of course, she said yes! 

Eric and Abby both love to travel and love the beach. His family lives in Ohio, while Abby’s family lives in Illinois. They were going to have a wedding in Indianapolis as a central location, but when they realized Abby’s grandparents wouldn't be able to make a 2 hour drive, they both decided to have a small ceremony for them at home and then take off and get married on the beach with their closest family and friends in Florida. Since both Abby and Eric love the beach, Eric did some research on locations and made plans to call a few locations. They fell in love with Sirata Beach Resort. 

On the day of their wedding, Abby’s bridesmaids wore sunflower yellow dresses and the men were in gray and white outfits. Abby wore a beautiful, white gown and held the most colorful and lively bouquet of flowers. Each groomsmen had a different colored boutonniere and the bridesmaids had bold colored bouquets as well. The day was sunny with a clear blue sky. It was simply perfect for these two!

Grand opening of coffee shop, lobby bar, retail space, and expanding beach bar signals end of resort’s $4.8 million transformation

St. Pete Beach, FL. – May 3, 2019– The beautiful beaches of S. Pinellas has  new offerings for visitors and locals alike with the addition of PS Grind, Stamps, and the retail space on Gulf Blvd.  redeveloped by the owners of the property – TPG Hotels and Resorts.

May 17th from 9am until late, the Postcard Inn on the Beach will be celebrating the new offerings with all who chose to join in on the celebration.  The official ribbon cutting takes place at 9:15am with the Tampa Bay Beaches Chamber of Commerce.  P.S.

PS Grind, featuring Kahwa coffee, has been designed with the locals in mind.  To start, there will be parking allocated to locals to swing by and grab their favorite brew and a bite to eat without having to pay for parking.  The open dining space will flow into the lobby space, allowing one to find a comfortable nook to read while sipping or munching on a pastry or salad.  If open air is what you’re looking for, you can step out to the balcony looking over the gorgeous green spaces facing the beautiful sandy beaches on the Gulf.  WiFi is available; guests plug in and relax while sipping on the best local brew with a view.  

Along with PS Grind, Postcard Inn is developing Stamps, a welcoming space that will feature bistro dining with amazing signature dishes and cocktails.  The prices are accommodating for almost any budget.
