Often referred to at The Pink Palace, the Don CeSar in St. Pete Beach is one of our favorite hotel wedding venues. The views are stunning and the beach is sunset perfection!

Everything about Christina & EJ’s wedding was timeless and classic. They are huge Tampa Bay Lightning Fans, and love sipping bourbon and smoking cigars so you’ll see these awesome personal details throughout! Christina prepared for the day with her family. She had the most adorable first look with EJ - afterward we spent time around the hotel (and in the bar which is one of their favorite spots to hang out) for portraits. This gave them plenty of time AFTER the ceremony to enjoy their reception!

Christina’s son, Justin, walked her down the aisle. EJ was so excited to see his bride, even after the first look (it’s such a great feeling to see the surprise and emotions twice!). Although Christina had the perfect comfy flats to wear, she opted for barefoot on the beach and we’re here for it!

We also loved the pretty pink and navy combination - the arch was decorated with flowy fabric, which swayed beautifully in the breeze. The sound of the ocean was music to guests’ ears.

The reception was a blast- everyone had a great time on the dance floor and we knew the party had arrived when Christina slipped on her custom jean jacket and the personalized cigars were lit.

Oh what a night! Congrats again, Mr & Mrs Gomez.
