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.

Amy + Nicholas Step Into The Limelight | The Birchwood | St. Pete, FL

Romantic Rooftop Elopement at The Birchwood

On July 21st, Amy and Nick celebrated their love with a beautiful and intimate elopement at The Birchwood in St. Petersburg, Florida. Nestled in the heart of downtown and just steps from the Tampa Bay waterfront, this charming boutique hotel was the perfect setting for a quiet yet unforgettable celebration.

Their day was filled with genuine emotion, relaxed elegance, and the kind of moments that remind you what weddings are truly about: connection, meaning, and love.

The couple chose a rooftop elopement on The Birchwood’s scenic terrace, with sweeping views of the bay and the city skyline as their backdrop. With only their closest loved ones present, Amy and Nick exchanged heartfelt vows in a private ceremony bathed in golden Florida sunshine. The setting felt dreamy, romantic and intimate, yet grand in its own way.

Back at The Birchwood, the newlyweds shared a quiet rooftop toast and a few joyful dances as the sun dipped behind the horizon. It was a simple, elegant ending to a day that felt entirely authentic, emotional, and full of love.

Alyx + Jordan Step Into The Limelight | Embassy Suites Tampa Downtown | Tampa, FL

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

Natisha + Malachi Step Into The Limelight | The Event Hall | Largo, FL

A Music-Filled Love Story in Largo

From the very first moment I met Tisha and Malachi, I could feel the love and energy that connected them. Their story started in the most modern way—through Facebook dating—but quickly revealed something beautifully timeless: shared roots, mutual friends, and a deep love for music and family.

Their wedding day at The Event Hall in Largo, Florida, was an absolute dream to photograph. As a Largo, Florida photographer, I adore capturing weddings that reflect not only style but also soul, and this one had both in every detail. The vibrant colors, the music that floated through the air, and the undeniable joy of their closest friends and family made this day unforgettable.

Tisha, radiant in every way, truly looked and felt like a queen—her words, not just mine! Malachi’s eyes never left her, and his love was visible in every candid moment we captured. That’s what we love most about photojournalistic photography—the real moments, the in-between glances, and the joyful tears.

From the custom DIY seating chart to the children walking the aisle as flower girls and ring bearer, this wedding was completely unique to them. Their shared passion for music came to life in every corner of the day, from heartfelt speeches to a reception filled with dancing and celebration.

Their first kiss, the bride and groom entrance, and the family dances had everyone smiling from ear to ear. And I’ll never forget the laughter and energy during the line dances—it was magic.

As a team dedicated to wedding photography in Largo, Florida, we were so honored to be part of a day that felt like a celebration of not only love but also legacy, culture, and deep connection.

Tisha and Malachi—thank you for allowing us to witness and document your beautiful story. We wish you a lifetime of harmony and joy as you continue this incredible journey together. — Dafne
