Amanda and Brian - A Celebration in Historic Ybor City

Amanda and Brian - A Celebration in Historic Ybor City

Brian and Amanda share Tampa roots (they went to the same PreK class and grew up only a quarter mile down the street from each other) so they knew they wanted to get married in the city they grew up in and loved. They began planning their nuptials for their 300 closest friends and family in historic Ybor City, known for the area's former life as a cigar capital of the US.  The bride wanted to make sure the wedding was above all else FUN, and she didn't want anything too theme-y, but rather wanted classic elements and to embrace the feel of the city.

Nicole and Frank met through mutual friends, and while Nicole wasn't looking for a relationship, Frank was absolutely smitten and was not about to take no for an answer.  His persistence paid off, and soon they were planning their wedding.  

Katie and Mike - A Wintery Wedding in St. Petersburg

Katie and Mike put together a perfect winter wedding with a non-traditional winter color palette of Emerald Green, Blush Pink, and Pewter (which we loved)!  Katie's gorgeous gown received A LOT of special attention that day; she had a final reveal with her dad, bridesmaids, and the groom, in three different and intimate first looks (And how beautiful was Katie's fur stole?).  Does anyone else just melt when they see tears welling up in a father's eyes?  And we love how the bridesmaids were all cheering with excitement!

Liz & Walker - A Classic Chapel Wedding

Liz and Walker met at a Fraternity and Sorority Social while both attending the University of Florida; after dancing and chatting, they went on their first date the next day, and the rest is history! Both raised in Florida, they wanted their laid back lifestyle to be reflected in their wedding by keeping the overall vibe fun instead of 'theme-y' or 'stuffy'. More than anything they just wanted to enjoy a great celebration with their closest friends and family.

Katie and John's wedding was the epitome of timeless romance! These two selected a soft color scheme of blush and ivory with metallic accents, classic attire, and their hometown Catholic church for exchanging sacred vows, followed by a reception at the nearby art museum (could it get any better?)
