The Westin Tampa Bay Wedding // Mr. & Mrs. Beatty
The Beatty’s wedding day kicked off at the Westin Tampa Bay wedding venue located on Harbor Island. The waterside hotel has some of the most stunning views of Downtown Tampa’s skyline which we took full advantage of (obviously). First up were the ladies decked out in cute plaid pjs as they got ready for the big day. Mimosas, hair and makeup, and a bumpin’ playlist made the morning with the girls a blast. Two floors down Ryan was getting ready with his groomsmen. Danielle gave Ryan a gift which was a photo of their fur-baby on a pair of cufflinks- SO sweet. I also quickly noticed that their dog is a pit bull so I instantly fell in love because us pitty parents roll deep. The men headed down to the lobby bar to grab some drinks before two buses came to whisk the bride and groom to the ceremony in Riverview.
The ceremony was held at St. Stephen Catholic Church which is a newly constructed church and absolutely stunning! Danielle shared a first look with her dad prior to the ceremony which always hits me right in the feels. After all the magic happened and Danielle and Ryan retreated back down the aisle this time as husband and wife, the whole crew loaded up and headed downtown to snap some pics and hit up cocktail hour. I took Danielle and Ryan outside for sunset photos where we were invited on a very impressive yacht to take pictures (these are the perks of being in a wedding dress people)! The rest of the evening was reserved for the greatest dance party of all time. Danielle and her bridesmaids ran the dance floor and the energy was so much fun to capture. All in all it was a perfect day. Thank you, Danielle and Ryan, for letting me capture every moment at the Westin Tampa Bay wedding venue! Cheers to the Beattys!
