This sunset wedding ceremony was breath taking! It was no surprise that BridesandWeddings.com selected Leo and Liz’s special day to be featured on their website. It is always a proud moment when one of our ADP couples get put in the spot light! Click on the link below and see just how magical this couple’s wedding night really was.
Jamie and Jim met in their Melrose-like community several years ago and have been dating ever since. They live in St. Pete and really enjoy the waterfront area there so it made sense that we have their St. Petersburg engagement session downtown and and by the water. This couple is so fun, loving, and sweet it’s contagious; not to mention Jamie’s gorgeous dress! Also, special thanks to Lasting Luxe for Jamie’s amazing makeup and hair!

We are so happy to be sharing Courtney and Jamie’s Davis Islands Garden Club wedding; we had been anxiously awaiting their big day for quite some time-we just adore them! Courtney and her lovely bridesmaids and handsome man of honor (yes, her man of honor was her brother!) got ready for the big day at the Tampa Marriot Waterside, where everyone was surprisingly calm, cool, and collected. Jamie gifted Courtney with a gorgeous strand of pearls that made her very emotional. We strolled the second floor of the hotel, capturing some bridal portraits and family portraits- mom couldn’t help but shed a couple of tears seeing her beautiful daughter in her wedding gown.
We headed over to the Davis Islands Garden club to meet the guys, who were also very relaxed (this was clearly a low stress wedding party!) and chatted with the guys while taking some groomsmen portraits. We gave Jamie his gift from Courtney, and his reaction was priceless! We will admit, we were a part of his surprise gift; Courtney had come to the ADP studio weeks prior for a Tampa beauty session, our modern twist on pre-wedding portraits – a little bit of boudoir and a little bit of glam.
Their intimate ceremony in front of the gazebo of the DIGC was truly special for their friends and family. Pictures of family members who had passed also had a front row seat to their nuptials, beside their parents. Afterward, we had the opportunity to capture some amazing sunset portraits of the new bride and groom and we must say, we had a phenomenal sky that night! Their reception kicked off with their first dance, and also a father-daughter dance that really got the party started. Guests were surprised to see a choreographed dance to “Uptown Funk,” complete with sunglasses.
For the remainder of the night, guests nibbled on delicious cupcakes and danced the night away on the veranda. We, of course, got our groove on a little too. It was such a special night and we are so honored to be a part of Courtney and Jamie’s wedding day. They are genuinely the sweetest, silliest, and most adorable couple- we are so glad to have them as clients and friends. Congrats Courtney and Jamie! XO!

It was a lovely Tampa wedding for Lyndsay and Dale at their backyard waterfront ceremony. Their original plan was to elope, but they decided to have their ceremony here with friends and family instead. Being the event planner that Lyndsay is, she wanted the whole day to be perfectly beautiful in every way- and it sure was! Lyndsay and Dale happen to be the owners of City Fish Grill, so the reception was of course catered by their restaurant, and it was delicious! For a celebration that was planned in a week and a half (yes, really!) it turned out to be a truly spectacular day that went on well into the night! Congratulations Lyndsay and Dale, it was such an honor for us to be able to capture your wedding.
The waterfront ceremony was on a floating dock that the couple had created just for their ceremony on Tampa Bay!
How gorgeous to see the open water and setting sun behind the bride and groom!
A special thanks to all of the talented wedding professionals we had the pleasure of working with that day, you all helped in making Lindsay and Dale’s big day so special.

Team ADP had such a great day capturing Liz and Darryl’s traditional Filipino wedding at Tampa’s Sacred Heart Church. Liz and Darryl met ten years ago after being introduced by her cousin. Liz would soon be attending the University of Miami while Darryl was studying computer engineering at the University of Central Florida. A few years later Liz moved to Boston to start dental school (yes…these two are quite the smart duo…with beautiful teeth to boot!), and their relationship became serious- even through the long distance. Darryl made it official when he asked Liz to marry him on their way to New Orleans, where Darryl would be competing in an ironman triathlon (did I mention these two are crazy fit?) Here are some of my favorite images from their Tampa wedding!
Oh Liz, you are a simply stunning bride!
Darryl, so handsome as well!
The couple chose to do a “First Look”, which allowed them to see each other in private before their ceremony, exchange some special moments together, and capture some true emotion!
They had a Catholic mass at Sacred Heart in downtown Tampa and also incorporated some traditional Filipino traditions with primary sponsors, a coin bearer, veil sponsors, and cord sponsors.
The groomsmen wore traditional Filipino attire as did many of the guests. Everyone has gorgeous bright, colorful wardrobe in stunning purple hues.
The Tampa wedding reception at the Cuban Club in Ybor City!
Liz and Darryl and all of their family and friends knew how to DANCE and light up the night! Everyone had an incredible evening!
We would also like to give a special thanks to all of the wedding professionals we had the pleasure of working with that day. It is all of you who helped make the day so memorable with your hard work and dedication.
