I got to see Tom, Candace, Hailey, and Patrick for their annual family session and they rocked it! I love the steps of the Le Meridien in downtown Tampa because it’s just a light and neutral background with lines and columns that look amazing in photos.

Tampa is home to quite a number of historic venues, and I’m certain these spaces have stories to tell! One of them is Centro Asturiano de Tampa. It was once a social club that “took care of members from birth until after they died,” and today it has been transformed into a venue for weddings and events. Much of the original architecture of the space has remained, and it’s on display the most in the theatre and ballroom. Both spaces happen to be where Ashley and Jay hosted their wedding day!

Here’s just a few of my personal favs of Shelley, Larry, and Cole. Note their fabulous outfit choices, and that red bench in the background totally is the perfect accent to Shelley’s white and red top. When we were planning their session Shelley just wanted something pretty outside to capture who they are as a family in this moment.

Charmaine and Earl win the award for one of our cutest couples of the year! These two got engaged at a Salamander Property, so that's why they choose Innisbrook Resort for their wedding (as it is also a Salamander property). The Innisbrook Resort has a gorgeous garden space and loads of landscapes to choose from for photos! We love the serene setting!

Just a few weeks before little Mr. Wyatt was born I got to see Violet and Geoffrey for their maternity session! He is such a cutie and had some sweet little baby poses for us already. Violet and Geoffrey moved into a new house before he was born, and we used their neutral walls for this simple lifestyle look that is all about them as a family of 3.

Heather and Hunter’s intimate destination wedding was hosted at the Safety Harbor Resort. These two, and their families, came down from Missouri to celebrate the couple’s union. It was a very warm August day, but the sky was clear of clouds, which is always a blessing for a summer day in Florida! Although the festivities were indoors, we’re always hopeful for a no rain wedding day for our couples.

At the beginning of August, Sadie and Michael celebrated their much-anticipated wedding day in Safety Harbor, Florida. The couple and their families could not have been more thrilled for their joyous day, and the weather could not have been more ideal. Each of their days began at Harborside Chapel and continued at nearby Safety Harbor Resort and Spa, and both their ceremony and reception were beautiful. I cannot wait to share more!

Last night was one of my personal favorite annual events because it’s so crazy, fun, and by far the best reason is that it’s a fundraiser to benefit the culinary school at Metropolitan Ministries. This was the 5th year for the Tampa Bay Food Fight, this year hosted at the Seminole Hard Rock Casino and Hotel. This event brings together all the best restaurants both both side of the bay and the best of the best battle it out for team Tampa and Team St. Pete. Team Tampa was led by captain Chef Taro Larrea, who is Executive Chef and partner at Eddie V’s Tampa. Team St. Pete was led by captain Chef Joshua Breen - Annata Wine Bar.

What could be a cooler setting for a sweet 16 than a rooftop in Tampa? It’s safe to say Lexi agreed! She was joined by her family and friends as she celebrated her milestone birthday at Armature Works’ Rooftop 220. The venue is highlighted by a downstairs public market, industrial style, and indoor-outdoor spaces, plus the views of the city, especially when it glows at night, cannot be beat.

All the people who plan the events actually do get together and have their own events! This month was a joint meeting of 2 of my favorite groups to attend in the Tampa Area - Association of Bridal Consultations (ABC) and National Association of Catering Executives (NACE).

We love a unique wedding venue, and the Yacht Starship sure delivers! There is something so quintessentially Clearwater about a wedding on the water and you can’t get much closer than a wedding on a yacht!
