Palmetto Riverside Bed and Breakfast Wedding for Melanie and Lee

December 6, 2017

We were so happy to be back to the Palmetto Riverside Bed and Breakfast to capture Melanie and Lee’s lovely wedding day. The two met in college at FSU while attending the same classes and have been together for over 7 years. Their friends and family have watched their love grow, so it was a special sight to see the two officially tie the knot.

We had beautiful weather for Mel and Lee’s big, which gave us lots of time outside for portraits in the gorgeous Florida sunshine. Melanie and Lee opted in for a first look, not only did this help any pre-wedding jitters, but also gave them some alone time together (and with us) to capture some beautiful portraits. Their personalities definitely pair well with each other, they are both funny, up for anything, and so in love. We could spend a Saturday with them all the time!

Their ceremony under the tress of the B&B was decorated with hanging lanterns and a chandelier, created a romantic atmosphere to say “I do!” The romance continued at their sunset portraits, where we ventured onto the dock and watched a stunning, Florida sunset. At their reception, guests danced the night away to, we must say, one amazing wedding band. It was even more special because Melanie’s uncle was in the band and they made sure to rock out until the end of the night. What more to keep the energy going? A donut station! Topped with coffee cream, nonetheless. Yum!

We ended the night back at our sweet, reception area and captured some nighttime portraits of our bride and groom under the glowing lights. A perfect ending to an incredible day. Congratulations to Mel and Lee, it was a pleasure to capture your sweet memories!

Special thanks to all of the amazing friendors who helped make Melanie and Lee’s wedding day so special:

Tampa Wedding for Nadia and Shay at Armature Works

October 31, 2017

Nadia and Shay’s wedding was a much anticipated event, their beautiful Tampa wedding was the FIRST EVER at Armature Works! This historic building has been in construction for quite a while, so it was great to be in the space and see it come to life. Nadia, her sister, and mom all got ready in her bridal suite at Le Meridien; we captured her details (that wedding dress!) and chatted with the ladies while they ate pizza and relaxed. Upstairs in Shay’s room, the vibe was just the same. Shay watched football and decided which one of this favorite Jordans to wear…he is quite the shoe connoisseur. They opted for a first look, which turned into quite the comical event. We were blessed with some cooler Tampa weather on Sunday, but, it was a tad windy. During the first look Nadia’s veil blew off not once, but twice! We all laughed as Shay said, “only you, Nadia…only you”.

Their lovely rooftop ceremony was witnessed by their closest friends and family. We had a breathtaking view of the Tampa skyline and a violinist played sweet melodies while guests watched Nadia and Shay say “I do” with Shay in his Gucci glasses, of course. We took our newlyweds next door to Ulele for wedding portraits. While Nadia is a model for a living, her inner beauty actually surpasses her outer beauty (if you could even imagine!). Shay also knows how to work his GQ side, especially in his custom James Bond tux!

Their wedding reception was one for the books, not only being the first wedding at Armature Works, but also because it was breathtaking! We had a dream team of “friendors” working with us to make Nadia and Shay’s day so special and memorable. The centerpieces, uplighting, and decor were all incredible thanks to FH Weddings. They created a soft and romantic space for our couple and their guests. They also had a rocking band that had everyone on the dance floor. At the end of the evening we were thankful for another sweet wedding day with a magical sunset. Nadia and Shay are truly a beyond lovely couple; we adore them so much and loved being able to spend such a remarkable day with them. Congrats to you both and your families.

Parrish Wedding Photography for Nicole and Eric at Baker’s Ranch

March 7, 2017

It was a beautiful day for Andi Diamond Photography at Nicole and Eric’s wedding day at Baker’s Ranch in Parrish, Florida. Nicole and Eric are both huge FSU fans and had their college memorabilia as accent decor in their reception; of course this was hard for me being a Gator to my core, but we adore them so it was easy to overlook. They both attended FSU but ended up meeting through mutual friends in Tampa; they love going to all of the games together and cheering on their alma mater (even their pets have Nole names!).

Nicole and Eric opted to have a first look and we will admit, Eric’s reaction was priceless! We know emotions tend to run high on the big day and Nicole and Eric were both a little nervous prior to seeing each other. All it took was Nicole’s voice to make Eric shed a tear, even before they saw each other. It was a special moment for them and they were able to spend some alone time together (well, with us) before their wedding ceremony. We were blessed with the most amazing weather this past weekend as well. Their outdoor ceremony was the perfect setting for their close friends and family. The two exchanged their own vows, which of course had everyone laughing and crying.

Their wedding reception featured shades of plum, blush, and ivory with amber uplighting to create an intimate and beautiful ambiance. Their inspiration of rustic elegance was definitely achieved with their lovely table centerpieces and decor. Guests were able to dance the night away and take silly pictures with the photo booth. A definite hit of the night were The Cake Zone’s “little tipsy cakes.” They are jarred cakes infused with alcohol and they are definitely some of our favorite treats!

Baker’s Ranch has some beautiful string lighting outside so we were able to head outside when it was dark and capture some amazing nighttime portraits of the newly wed bride and groom. Nicole and Eric truly have the sweetest personalities and their love for each other is strong; it is easy to see when we are around them. We are so happy of them and this new chapter in their lives. We wish them nothing but love and happiness for the rest of their years together!
