TRENDSETTING - A Modern Glam Sparkling White Wedding

We created this styled shoot to showcase a modern glam wedding with shades of white and ivory, lots of crystal and bling, and over-the-top flora.  We wanted to showcase a beautiful indoor ballroom ceremony with views of the water, as Florida weather can be unpredictably hot or rainy, making an indoor option more desirable.  The result was absolutely stunning!

Jennifer and Casey - A Blush and Baroque Wedding

Jennifer and Casey - A Blush and Baroque Wedding

When Jennifer and Casey met while out on the town with friends, it truly was love at first sight. At the end of the evening, like a scene from a movie, their first kiss through the taxi door was as electric as their first kiss as husband and wife at their waterfront nuptials! The couple exchanged vows in front of 150 of their closest friends and family at the Davis Islands Garden Club near downtown Tampa.

Susanna and JJ's wedding day was as colorful as their personalities!  Susanna wanted their day to reflect her Asian heritage, while JJ wanted to incorporate great food and music (both are foodies, and the groom is in a break-dancing troop!)  Both red and gold are auspicious colors in the Chinese culture, and they paired beautifully with shades of fuchsia and berry, saturating details from the bridesmaids' attire to the abundant flora!  The couple exchanged vows in the Tea Garden at the Renaissance Vinoy hotel in St. Petersburg Florida (the groom's hometown), in front of their closest friends and family.
