We are so excited to share Kaitlin and Pete’s beautiful images from their Tampa wedding at the Rusty Pelican. No amount of rain could have put a damper on their exciting nuptials that day and the weather gods really did look out for them and produce some clear skies by the afternoon. We first started the day off with Kailtin and her 8 lovely bridesmaids. They sipped champagne, took glamorous “selfies” (come on now, that’s what us girls do!), and stood in awe as Kaitlin got dressed in her gown. After the girls, was time with the guys. And boy, what a wild and fun group of groomsmen we had that day! They definitely got the party started that day; what’s a wedding without some celebratory brews?
Kaitlin and Pete’s ceremony at the Rusty Pelican had a great view of the water for them and their guests. The exchanged vows, rings, and then their first kiss officially as husband and wife. Guests then entered their elegant reception, dined on delicious food and drink, and danced the night away to their live band. We ended the night with some intimate portraits of the newly wed lovebirds; a fantastic finale to a memorable day.
Kaitlin and Pete decided to have a “first look” before the ceremony. This was a great way to spend some private time together (with us, of course) and have the chance to see each other and shake off some of those wedding day jitters. How cute are they?! Pete was doting on his beautiful bride all day!
A special thanks to all of the amazing and hard-working wedding vendors we had the pleasure of working with that day.

Hello, looking through weddings at the Rusty Pelican where I am having mine next year I saw a beautiful one which was photographed by your team and I loved the images you all captured! I would love to receive pricing and discuss the possibility of you capturing our special day at this same venue! Our ceremony is at 7pm so we’d need photos getting ready a few hours before that, then the ceremony, bride and groom pictures (private by the water and greenery) and then some reception photos. Would love to receive more info if you are available on 4/7/18.
Thanks!
