Tampa says goodbye to spectacular couple Ashton + Chris as they make a big move back to Chris’ home state of Ohio after their recent wedding at Sacred Heart Catholic Church and reception at Centre Club.

Ashton’s traditional long-sleeved dress from The Dressing Room was so elegant. The train just looked gorgeous going up the aisle of Sacred Heart which is one of our favorite churches. The balcony in the back is a perfect hideout for one of us to get these bird’s eye views of the ceremony. And those blue shoes!

The flower girls and ring bearer stole the show walking up the aisle. These cuties also had a great time partying with ladies while they got ready at The Westshore Grand.

Can you believe how spectacular this bridal party looks! Men in uniform (swoon!) The bridesmaids’ dresses in shades of pink and sage were so lovely with all the lace.

The light in the Centre Club is unbelievable streaming in from a wall of windows looking out over Tampa. The table decor from Brides N’ Blooms was light and airy and just the right amount.

The way Ashton’s dad was looking at his daughter and his new son-in-law during his toast might have made us get a bit misty.

Most of the time at our weddings there is one multi-tiered cake for the bride and groom to cut and guests to eat. Not so for Ashton and Chris. Ashton’s favorite cakes are from local bakery Wright’s Gourmet House and if you already have a favorite bakery BEFORE you get married then of course you need to have ALL your favorite flavors at your reception instead of just one! We actually really love this idea because who doesn’t like choice on a dessert table?! Plus their company’s motto is “Cake is Love” so there ya go!

We headed out to the parking garage for some sunset photos. Just proves that unassuming spots can make for stunning portrait locations. So glad they trusted us to go out to an unexpected location!

Dang! DJ Wild Out Entertainment can really get folks out on the dance floor! So great to work with you!

Yeah this was as crazy fun as it looks!

Congrats you two and best of luck in your new hometown!
