Sacred Heart & Centre Club Wedding | Katie + Hunter
Sacred Heart & Centre Club Wedding | Katie + Hunter

Katie & Hunter had the most gorgeous wedding at Sacred Heart Church followed by cocktails and the reception at the Centre Club! I LOVE the colors they chose, the light blue with the different shades of pink and orange flowers were so stunning. Katie had rosary that was the perfect shade of blue to match the girls dresses wrapped around her bouquet and after her mom helped her get totally ready her girls had the best reaction as they saw her as a beautiful bride! One of the awesome things about Centre Club is that the Westshore Grand is just across the atrium and there’s a really beautiful garden right in between where Linda did the guys photos and we did their first look and wedding party photos before heading to Sacred Heart. Their flower girl Alexa was just the absolutely cutest and SO happy to be a part of it all!

Rapid 7 Tampa Ribbon Cutting
Rapid 7 Tampa Ribbon Cutting

It’s always an exciting day when there’s a ribbon cutting here in Tampa Bay! I got to spend the morning at Rapid 7’s brand new Tampa office and let me tell you, it is awesome! You might remember the old movie theater that was in Channelside, well now it is the home of the Tampa Office of Rapid 7, which is a cyber security company based in Boston. The architecture and decor is so cool, very modern and industrial with hints of Tampa and their company’s personality throughout. They legit have a speak easy behind a hidden door from their break room.
