Sabine + John’s Elegant Celebration | Tampa Palms Wedding Photos

Love, laughter, and an elegant celebration—Sabine and John’s wedding at Hunter’s Green Country Club was the perfect reflection of their journey together. As Tampa wedding photographers, we were honored to capture the joy and beauty of their day, preserving these memories for a lifetime.

A Love Story Worth Celebrating

Sabine and John’s wedding wasn’t just about one perfect day; it was a celebration of their journey together and the future they’re building. Their wedding embodied elegance, love, and a sense of ease, ensuring that every guest felt welcomed and at home.

Honoring Haitian Heritage

Both Sabine and John are of Haitian heritage, and it was such a joy to witness how beautifully their culture was woven throughout the day—from the music and dancing to the language and energy of their friends and family. I even got to use the two Creole phrases I know—“vinny” (come here), which came in handy with the kids, and “sak pase?” (what’s up?), which always brought a smile and the cheerful response, “n'ap boule!”

As someone who has done mission work with children in Haiti, this day felt deeply personal. I haven’t been able to return for the past three years due to travel restrictions and safety concerns, so being surrounded by Haitian culture and joy again truly felt like going home.

The First Look & Emotional Moments

One of the most anticipated moments of the day was the first look. Sabine and John couldn’t wait to see each other for the first time, a moment filled with raw emotion and pure joy. As they locked eyes, the love and excitement for the day ahead were undeniable.

A Stunning Ceremony at Hunter’s Green Country Club

Nestled in the heart of Tampa Palms, Hunter’s Green Country Club provided the perfect backdrop for their ceremony. The couple exchanged heartfelt vows, surrounded by their closest family and friends. Walking down the aisle and saying “I do” were moments they’ll cherish forever.

An Unforgettable Reception & Dancing the Night Away

With DJ Ritchy Mix setting the perfect tone for the evening, the reception was all about celebration and fun. The energy on the dance floor was absolutely infectious. I especially loved spending time with the kids—letting them take turns photographing with my camera added such a special, playful moment to the night. From the elegant décor to the delicious cuisine, every detail reflected Sabine and John’s vision.

Personal Touches & DIY Details

Adding a unique touch, the couple created personalized gift bags for their guests, making everyone feel extra special. Every element of their wedding reflected their thoughtful and elegant style.

Fireworks, Faith, and Forever

Every once in a while, I meet a couple who reminds me why I fell in love with photography in the first place. Alyx and Jordan? Oh, they didn’t just remind me, they shouted it from the rooftops. Or better yet… from Disney’s Boardwalk with fireworks lighting up the sky.

Their love story began in the digital age (thank you, Hinge!), but what they’ve built is timeless. From their very first stroll around Wiregrass in Tampa, stomachs full, hearts fluttering, it was clear that God was already doing His thing. Alyx and Jordan weren’t just dating; they were becoming.

Fast forward to September 20, 2024, a magical date for an even more magical proposal. Picture this: a romantic Disney date, the sun setting behind the Epcot skyline, and Jordy pulling off the ultimate surprise on the Boardwalk. And then… as if the moment needed more sparkle… Epcot’s fireworks lit up the sky. The perfect finale to a perfect question.

What makes them so special isn’t just their dreamy love story or the fact that they are so photogenic. It’s their hearts, grounded in faith, overflowing with joy, and completely synced with each other. They’re best friends who pray together, snack together, work out (together… bless their discipline), and never stop laughing. If love had a soundtrack, theirs would be filled with laughter and worship music, with maybe a little Disney magic mixed in.

Their wedding? Oh my goodness. What. A. Celebration. The kind where you can feel the joy in the air. Where hugs are tighter, dance moves are wilder, and you can't stop smiling because everything just feels right. The day was filled with love, laughter, and a whole lot of dancing (seriously, that dance floor never stood a chance).

As a photographer, I’ve seen all kinds of weddings. But this one? It glowed, and I don’t mean just the fairy lights. I felt honored, deeply honored, to witness something so real, so faith-filled, and so fun. Alyx and Jordan made me feel not like a vendor, but like a friend,  like I was meant to be part of their day.

So here’s to the Rays, to a lifetime of date nights, faith-filled adventures, joyful memories, and Disney magic. Thank you for sharing your hearts, your story, and your dances with me.

And if anyone ever says fairy tales don’t exist… just send them this blog.

With love,
Natalia Fontes
