Hannah and Tim’s Wedding at Tampa Bay Watch
Hannah and Tim’s wedding day at Tampa Bay Watch was nothing short of magical, filled with meaningful details, stunning scenery, and heartfelt moments. As a photographer, I always begin the day by capturing the Bride’s details. Hannah had the most beautiful collection of details, starting with her invitations, which featured a delicate sketch of the venue—such a thoughtful touch that set the tone for their coastal celebration. One of the most special elements was her wooden flower bouquet, a timeless keepsake she can cherish forever!
The couple spent the morning at the Residence Inn. Tim got ready with his groomsmen, while Hannah got ready with her bridesmaids. Once Hannah was ready, we moved downstairs for portraits with her bridesmaids and parents. The excitement in the air was contagious as everyone eagerly anticipated the ceremony.
Tampa Bay Watch provided a breathtaking backdrop for their vow exchange. The ceremony took place on the lawn in front of the seawall, a perfect setting with the bay’s shimmering waters in the background. Enchanted Weddings & Events did an incredible job setting up the space, with a beautiful welcome sign and a floral-adorned arch draped in soft white fabric.
The ceremony was intimate and sweet, set against the serene coastal backdrop of the bay. As Hannah walked down the aisle with her father, she radiated joy, while Tim’s expression was filled with love and admiration. Their guests smiled as they watched the couple exchange rings and seal their commitment with a kiss. As they walked back up the aisle hand in hand, they shared another joyful kiss, celebrating the start of their new journey together.
Following the ceremony, we took family portraits and wedding party photos before exploring the venue with just Hannah and Tim. Tampa Bay Watch offered so many beautiful backdrops, from the waterfront views to the charming walkways and lush greenery. The couple shared sweet moments as we captured romantic and candid portraits, making the most of the stunning scenery.
The coastal theme was carried through the reception decor, with driftwood centerpieces adorning the tables and oyster shells at each place setting featuring the guests’ names. It was a beautiful and creative nod to the waterfront setting. Their cake, a classic and delicious creation from Publix, was a perfect centerpiece for the celebration.
Once all the guests had been welcomed, Hannah and Tim shared their first dance—a moment filled with pure joy and love. As dinner was served, we stole a few quiet moments with the couple to capture some stunning sunset portraits. The golden light reflecting off the water created the most romantic and dreamy atmosphere, making for some of my favorite shots of the day.
Hannah and Tim’s wedding was a true celebration of love, thoughtfully planned and beautifully executed. It was an honor to capture their special day and preserve these memories for them to look back on forever.
