Lisa + Harry Step Into The Limelight | Sacred Heart Catholic Church + The Vault | Tampa, FL

A Downtown Tampa Wedding Steeped in History for Lisa + Harry

From the moment I arrived, Lisa and Harry’s wedding day felt deeply personal and beautifully rooted in Tampa, FL. Their love story began at work in 2018 and truly blossomed with a first date along the Riverwalk… so it felt only fitting that their wedding celebrated everything they love about historic Tampa!

From a heartfelt ceremony at Sacred Heart Tampa, to portraits around Le Méridien Tampa, and an incredible celebration inside The Vault, their day was the ideal blend of simplistic elegance and classy tradition. As a Tampa Wedding Photographer, capturing a Tampa Florida bride like Lisa, who wore her mom’s pearls and her grandmother’s crown, was incredibly special.

Harry’s Valentine’s Day proposal set the tone for the entire day: intentional, thoughtful, and full of heart. Their shared passions—running half marathons across the country, hiking with their dogs, ice skating, and cheering on the Bolts—shone through in the easy joy they shared. The ceremony was filled with emotion and candid photography moments I live for: Harry waiting at the altar, nieces and nephews walking down the aisle, Lisa walking hand-in-hand with her dad, and the joy that followed as they were announced husband and wife. The overall feeling? Relaxed, happy, and truly present—exactly as they hoped.

Lisa and Harry’s Downtown Tampa Wedding was a love letter to old Tampa, full of historic easter eggs and meaningful spaces that mattered to them most. Celebrating with family, honoring their faith, and stepping into marriage surrounded by beauty and history made this day unforgettable.

Victoria + Robert Step Into The Limelight | Grand Hyatt Tampa | Tampa, FL

A Perfect Blend of Effortless Luxury and Pure Love

There are wedding days that feel like celebrations, and there are wedding days that feel like chapters being written in real time, pages filled with laughter, soft glances, and a kind of love that seems to glow from the inside out.
Victoria and Robert’s day at the Grand Hyatt Tampa Bay was very much the second type: the kind of day where every moment feels like it’s part of a bigger story that’s already been unfolding for years.

Maybe it’s because they were never in a hurry, not with life, not with love, not even with marriage. They simply trusted their timing, the way only two people who truly see each other can. Or maybe it’s because they arrived at their wedding already as a family, with the brightest little star guiding their entire day: Phoenix, their dazzling daughter, who brought charm, sweetness, and sparkle to every corner she walked into.

From the moment we stepped into the getting-ready suite, it was obvious, this wasn’t just a wedding. It was a celebration of a life already beautifully built.

Victoria’s calm presence filled the room even before her dress did. Robert’s steady warmth balanced every moment that followed. And Phoenix? She stole the show every chance she got, not intentionally, but simply because she exists. She was joy in motion, charisma wrapped in curls and giggles, and the glow in her parents’ eyes every second she appeared… and honestly, in mine too.

What unfolded from there was a day overflowing with meaning, emotional first looks, soft golden light by the pool, terrace views that made everyone stop for a breath, and a reception so full of love that even the walls seemed to hum with it.

And now…
Here is how their unforgettable day unfolded.

Love you.

Casey + Thomas Step Into The Limelight | Sacred Heart Church + Grand Hyatt Tampa Bay | Tampa, FL

A Romantic Tampa Bay Wedding

When I think back to Casey and Thomas’s wedding weekend, I can’t help but smile — it was the perfect blend of timeless romance, heartfelt tradition, and joyful celebration along the sparkling waters of Tampa Bay. ✨

A Love Story Years in the Making

Casey and Thomas first met in 2016 while attending Pitt Pharmacy School. What began as friendship quickly blossomed into a deep and lasting love — one that carried them through years of studying, residency, long-distance, and countless life milestones. Thomas proposed at Phipps Conservatory surrounded by friends and Casey’s mom, making for a moment as meaningful as it was magical.

A Destination Celebration in Tampa

The couple envisioned a destination wedding that allowed guests to truly experience the beauty of Florida. Their celebration began with a welcome party by the pool overlooking the bay, setting the tone for a weekend filled with laughter, sunshine, and connection.

Their ceremony took place at Sacred Heart Catholic Church, one of Tampa’s most stunning historic churches. The moment Casey walked down the aisle to “Trumpet Voluntary” — the same song she once played in her high school brass quartet and the same one Thomas’s mother walked down to — there wasn’t a dry eye in sight. The couple’s private marriage affirmations afterward were especially moving, a quiet exchange that perfectly captured their devotion and faith.

Elegant, Classic, and Full of Heart

Casey looked radiant in her romantic, ethereal gown from Lily’s Bridal Tampa, complete with a chapel-length train and blusher veil. Thomas wore a custom tuxedo, a timeless look that perfectly complemented the elegant surroundings.

Their décor at the Grand Hyatt Tampa Bay was simple, classic, and elegant — with neutral and earthy tones that highlighted the venue’s natural light and sweeping bay views. Florals by Apple Blossoms added a touch of organic beauty, while candlelit tables created a warm, inviting atmosphere for dinner and dancing.

Personal Touches That Told Their Story

Every detail of the day reflected their personalities and values. Casey designed her own handmade pearl jewelry with a local St. Cloud jeweler, while their welcome sign and seating chart were crafted from antique store finds repurposed with love. Their table numbers featured childhood photos — a sweet nod to the lives that brought them to this day — and their guest book included photos from their engagement session in Polignano a Mare, Italy.

Faith, Family, and Dancing Under the Stars

Their reception at the Grand Hyatt Tampa Bay was unforgettable. Guests dined on a delicious menu by the Hyatt’s catering team and enjoyed a beautiful Publix wedding cake before the dance floor came alive thanks to DJ Bohav from Tampa Bay DJ Company, who kept the celebration going with the couple’s favorite disco beats.

The speeches from their fathers, best man, and man of honor were heartfelt and funny — the perfect reflection of how loved Casey and Thomas are by everyone around them.

A Perfect Beginning

From the sacred ceremony to the joy-filled dance floor, Casey and Thomas’s wedding was a true celebration of faith, family, and forever love. Every laugh, tear, and embrace told a story of two best friends who became soulmates — surrounded by everyone who matters most.

It was an honor to capture their journey and preserve the memories of such a radiant and meaningful day.

Hayley + Robbie Step Into The Limelight | Raymond James Stadium | Tampa, FL

Wow. It’s not every day you get to photograph a wedding at the Buccaneers’ stadium and trust me, it was phenomenal! When I first heard that Hayley and Robert were getting married right there on the pirate ship at Raymond James Stadium, I knew this was going to be unforgettable. But once I learned their story, it all made perfect sense because their love truly began here.

Their very first date was at this exact stadium, cheering from the stands during a Tampa Bay vs. Detroit Lions game (and yes, they still joke about that Bucs win!). So when it came time to say “I do,” it felt like the most natural and meaningful place in the world for them to start their forever.

The ceremony was intimate, with only their closest family members gathered to witness the moment. The Florida sun was shining over the field, and the view from the pirate ship was breathtaking. The best part? The officiant was Hayley’s brother a real-life pirate, in full Buccaneers spirit! He made everyone laugh, cry, and cheer all at once. It was the perfect mix of emotion and fun, just like this couple.

And there was something so touching that made the day even more meaningful, Hayley wore her mother’s wedding dress. Seeing her walk down the aisle in that gown, surrounded by the people who love her most, added an extra layer of nostalgia and beauty to an already emotional day. It felt like a piece of family history was being carried forward, right there in the heart of the stadium where their own love story began.

No over-the-top decor, no stress just love, laughter, and a setting that told their story better than any words could. From the way Hayley looked walking toward Robert, to the way they held hands during their vows, it was pure magic.

This was the first chapter of their celebration, a day that honored where their story began. But just wait until you see what came next… because a few days later, they gathered all their friends and family at The Hotel Zamora for one incredible rooftop party filled with energy, music, and nonstop dancing.

Stay tuned for Part Two of their story, the unforgettable night that turned their love into a full-blown celebration of joy.

Ahoyyyyy!
