St. Joseph Catholic Church wedding | A La Carte Event Pavilion wedding | Tampa wedding photographers

The following is a video of the beautiful wedding of Yanelis and Miguel. The bride and groom got ready at the gorgeous Marriott Waterside Hotel and Marina located in the Channel side District of Tampa, Florida. This hotel has an amazing interior with a second floor walkway that we love for group pictures. We also took advantage of the marina next door to take some beautiful images of the bride and her bridesmaids.

The ceremony took place at the St. Joseph Catholic Church in Tampa. This was such a beautiful church, with a lot of great character and a gorgeous altar. The ceremony was done in English and Spanish and the priest was wonderful. Even though I couldn’t understand all of the Spanish parts, the priest was very expressive and you could really feel all of the power and emotion of this special wedding.

The reception took place at the A La Carte Event Pavilion, also located in Tampa. As experienced Tampa wedding photographers, one of the things we will remember the most about this wedding is the amount of emotion we saw throughout the day. So many tears of joy and lots and lots of fun at the reception. You can see the emotion during the first dances and the toast. And then you can see how much fun everyone had during the dancing and the “Hora Loca”. This wedding pretty much sums up why we love our jobs so much. It allows us to capture so many precious moments for our couples; that will then become a wonderful family treasure!

The following are some of our favorite images from the gorgeous wedding of Lucien and Kendra. We first met this beautiful bride a few months ago, when she was visiting from Denver. Although she grew up in Tampa, she was now living in Denver and making a lot of the plans from Colorado. The meeting with her was great and we immediately knew we would get along great with her. We finally met the groom on the wedding day and he couldn’t have been any nicer. So funny and easy to get along with, which made photographing with him very easy! We got started at the Tampa Marriott Waterside Hotel where everyone was getting ready. Once everyone was dressed, we took advantage of how beautiful this hotel is and captured many beautiful pictures before everyone headed out to the ceremony site.

The ceremony and reception took place at the Davis Island Yacht Club, which is such a beautiful location, surrounded by the waters of Tampa Bay. We were a little bit worried that it might rain, as the skies looked threatening for some time. Luckily, it never rained and we just had some wind and cloudy skies which helped create some very cool and dramatic pictures near sunset!

As for the wedding and reception, it was great! There were people who had flown in from all over the country and the world to help celebrate the union of these two amazing people. There were tears of joy and tons of laughter to be had throughout the night. As experienced Tampa wedding photographers, we always take a lot of pride in capturing the many beautiful little moments that make for a memorable wedding day. This wedding had so many precious little moments and we felt really honored to have spent this day and night in the company of so many wonderful people. We wish Kendra and Lucien all the best and a lifetime of married bliss!
