Red Mesa Wedding // Mr. + Mrs. Fareri

Kicking off 2021 with a bang! Hello New Year, SO happy to see you. Mr. and Mrs. Fareri’s Red Mesa wedding in St. Petersburg, FL certainly set the bar high. Not only was their wedding day flawless from top to bottom but here are some of the highlights: Laura wore her mom’s wedding veil from her wedding day back in the 70’s, Alfie (Laura and Bryan’s furbaby) was the ring bearer, confetti cannons popped as Mr. and Mrs. Fareri said ‘I do’, and a choreographed first dance kicked off the night with cake, champagne bongs, and plenty of dancing. What a wedding! But let me go back to the beginning.

The day started off with Laura and the girls getting their hair and makeup done at the Hampton in Downtown St. Pete just a couple of blocks from their Red Mesa wedding venue. I grabbed detail shots (HELLO GORGEOUS BESTY JOHNSON RHINESTONE STUDDED HEELS) and let the girls finish up while I accompanied the boys(and lady) on the party bus to one of my favorite local breweries down the street, Green Bench Brewery. I photographed a round of beer, some cheers, and the custom personalized cufflinks Bryan gifted each of his friends to wear on their jackets. Not a bad way to start your wedding day IMO. Then it was back on the party bus and back to the hotel where Alfie joined the girls to wish his mom good luck before she got dressed and the countdown was officially on. We grabbed some portraits and bridesmaid photos outside the hotel before the girls boarded the party bus and we were off to our final destination, Red Mesa wedding venue! The ceremony was held on the rooftop, Alfie escorted the rings down the aisle, and confetti cannons announced the newly Mr. and Mrs. Fareri! After the ceremony we took our portraits around the block of the venue as the sun was setting and ended with some nighttime shots back on the roof. As previously mentioned the rest of the night was full of events as Mr. and Mrs. Fareri spent the night surrounded by their closest friends and family. I said it once and I’ll said it again, what a wedding! Cheers to you, Laura and Bryan! Wishing you both nothing but love, happiness, and unlimited Alfie kisses in your future!
