If you've heard the phrase "a picture speaks 1,000 words", you understand why we love that saying in the portrait and wedding photography business. Especially since Ryan, Lindsey, and Alan all work hard to make sure their work says something. They all that understand every person in every one of our family beach photos, and every couple [...]
When Mrs. Bedsole reached out to us about a non-traditional family portrait session stating that she did not want the standard family beach portraits, Ryan suggested the eclectic downtown Fort Walton Beach area. He had photographed there several years prior, and really enjoyed it. When the Bedsoles agreed, we were ecstatic! Why? The Emerald Coast [...]
You've probably heard wine gets better with age. Over here at Pure7 Studios we agree, but more importantly... we feel the same way about the press we've had over the years. We haven't had a chance to share it all on our blog yet, so today is the day we decided to pull out a [...]
Everything about Colby and Mary Elizabeth's Eden Gardens State Park wedding in Santa Rosa Beach, FL was straight out of a fairytale. Watching their wedding video takes me back to me back to my childhood and all of the fairytale-esque ideas I had about what my wedding day would look like. Of course, every bride [...]

Last summer Lindsey had the opportunity to shoot a 90 minute family beach photo "sunset session" with the Beckett family in Watercolor, FL. As I sit staring at their collection all I can do is smile. From start to finish, the Becketts were a delight. Everything about these people and their photos just makes me happy. [...]
If you've ever been in a wedding then you know it takes a lot of work to make the "big day" a perfect day. It's common to hire a wedding planner (and this couple had the ever-so-talented Savoir Faire Weddings), but the bride and groom still have to pick the date and find a venue fitting for their vision. Of [...]
Have you ever heard the term or saying "the perfect storm?" Well, this very blog post is just the opposite! We tried to find an official saying or word describing the opposite of a perfect storm and it doesn't seem to exist. That must mean as rare as a perfect storm is, what I'm trying to describe [...]
"To see in color is a delight for the eye but to see in black and white is a delight for the soul.” – Andri Cauldwell It's hard to imagine a time when wedding films weren't a thing and wedding photography was only one simple black and white photo of the couple with maybe one or two more of [...]
Living in Destin near 30A and Santa Rosa Beach (among others) means the majority of our awesome clients are from far away and typically want wedding photography or some family beach photos while here enjoying a nice vacation. But, every so often we get a local!! We love our locals and the Gould family is no exception. Here [...]
