Tampa Palms Wedding // Mr. + Mrs. Galante
On this classically rainy summer day in Florida I started the Galante’s Tampa Palms wedding with the girls in their suite capturing all of the hustle and bustle, details, nerves, laughs, champagne- AKA the good stuff that comes with getting ready on your wedding day. Downstairs I spent some time with the boys in the locker room with a similar energy but sub the champagne for some cold brews. During this time there was a pretty intense thunder storm going on outside but luckily it stopped right before the ceremony and it even provided some cloud cover and cooled things off a little, you know, from 99 degrees to 98 degrees. The ceremony was beautiful and while not held in a Church, it was still important to Emily and Eric that they incorporated some religious aspects like a communion just for the two of them. After vows and rings were exchanged, two became one and the rest of the evening was all about celebrating Mr. & Mrs. Galante! Cowboy hats, a bridal party group shotgun, virtual toasts from friends and family who were unable to attend in person, the bride “icing” the groom, an epic garter retrieval, and a sparkler exit. What a wedding! Pandemic- 0 the Gallantes- 1!
A Tampa Palms wedding never disappoints at the Tampa Palms Golf and Country Club. The space is all inclusive which makes for such easy transitions on your wedding day. A hotel with huge suites for the bridal party to get ready in is honestly a photographers dream because no one feels cramped. A covered outside ceremony space on the terrace downstairs overlooks the stunning greens and natural preserves of the golf course which is dreamy for photos. Meanwhile the guests enjoy cocktail hour in the A/C and the reception hall is a short walk around the building. The perfect layout for any wedding day!
