St. Petersburg Wedding at the Renaissance Vinoy for Jen and Will
What a beautiful and memorable wedding weekend for Jen and Will; their lovely wedding at the Renaissance Vinoy was full of love and laughter. We spent the afternoon with Jen and her bridesmaids as they were getting glammed-up; her girls wore beautiful, fuschia colored bridesmaids dresses. It was exciting to see their faces as Jen put on her wedding dress, she was truly a stunning bride! And her wedding gown was AMAZING! Will and his groomsmen were relaxed, as most of grooms are, casually drinking some beers and watching the Kentucky Derby on TV. Will had gifted the guys some feathered bowties from Brackish to wear for the wedding. They were so unique and fun! Will is quite the watch connoisseur, so Jen gave him a beautiful new addition as his wedding present; he must have got the memo too, because he gave her a gorgeous Rolex!
Jen and Will chose to partake in a first look; it is always a big moment of anticipation for not only our couples, but for us as well! Having a first look helped calm their nerves before ceremony and also allowed more time for portraits beforehand. It is easy to take pictures of these two; they are very photogenic and aren’t afraid to be sweet and mushy in front of our cameras. Kissing, snuggles, laughs…they gave it all! They also had their fur-baby, Maverick, join them for portraits…he is the cutest!
Their beautiful ceremony in the tea garden at the Vinoy was full of their closest friends and family. Guests helped celebrate their nuptials and headed to cocktail hour to mingle while we stole Jen and Will for some sunset portraits by the water. Portraits were very important to the two of them, so we lucked out by getting to spend lots of time capturing their love together. Their reception room was decorated with lovely ivory, pink, and purple floral centerpieces, romantic pink uplighting, and soft candlelight. Jen and Will were in awe seeing the room before guests were ushered in; they even had a few moments to practice their choreographed dance! (Which was flawless) Guests danced the night away, enjoyed the photo-booth, and snacked on doughnuts from the Mini-Doughnut Factory.
We had the best day witnessing such memorable moments between Jen and Will and were honored to be the lucky ones chosen to capture all of their special moments. We wish them nothing but love and happiness; congrats you two!

St. Petersburg Wedding Photography at The Vinoy for Jael and Tim
We were honored to capture Jael and Tim’s beautiful wedding day at the Renaissance Vinoy in St. Petersburg this weekend. Jael and Tim met at a bar a couple of years ago and it took many advances, on Tim’s end, to finally get Jael to go out with him. Jael’s faith is very important to her and Tim was very interested to learn more about her beliefs and dedication to God and Jesus. Good thing he never gave up because now he has a strong faith and they are married! Their lovely wedding at the Vinoy was full of their closet family and friends who gathered to celebrate their love. Jael and Tim wrote their own vows for their ceremony, which were truly some of sweetest and most genuine vows we’ve ever heard. They have so much love for each other and can’t wait to spend their lives together.
The bride and groom chose to do a “First Look”, which we always love for so many reasons…but mostly because it gives the couple the chance to see each other in private and get some special alone time together before all of the celebrations begin.
Florida sunsets (especially on wedding day) are the BEST!
The uplighting and decor at this St. Petersburg wedding at the Vinoy completely transformed the ballroom, making it so elegant and classy!
At the reception, guests danced the night away and enjoyed the live band. The new bride and groom wasted no time getting on the dance floor to celebrate with everyone and get the party started. We had the best day with them, capturing all of their special moments and are so happy for the both of them. Can’t wait to watch their love and family grow!

St. Petersburg Wedding at the Vinoy Renaissance Hotel for Tatiana and Ty
We had such a beautiful day with Tatiana and Ty at their St. Petersburg wedding at the Vinoy Renaissance Hotel. Tatiana is originally from Russia and Ty is a Florida native (originally from Trinidad). With the two of them living in Texas, Tampa was the perfect place for their nuptials. One unique thing about Tatiana is that she is a professional fitness competitor and personal trainer. All of her bridesmaids compete as well; this was one lovely, strong group of ladies! A couple even did some push-ups and squats in their dresses to prepare for the day (oh, and of course started the day off with protein shakes)! Ty and his dashing gentleman on the other hand drank and listened to some music in their hotel room to prepare.
Tatiana and Ty opted to partake in a”First Look”, allowing them to spend some quiet, romantic time together before their ceremony. We were so especially thankful for this as it started to rain right at the end of their first look as we had to rush inside. The outside, tea-garden ceremony was also moved inside. But, with all this love in the air, no one minded at all!
Just a little rain..but nothing would dampen Ty and Tatiana’s wedding day!
Surrounded by their close family and friends, Tatiana and Ty said their “I do’s” which was even more special with Ty’s son Xavier there by his side. After the ceremony the real party started. Their guests all had a great time dancing the night away and munching on freshly made donuts and cake pops. A true celebration for such an amazing day. We are so honored we were able to share such special memories with them.
The wedding reception was a non-stop PARTY!
