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.

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.
