Grand Hyatt | Rusty Pelican Wedding | Tampa, Florida | G & B

Congratulations to Gaby and Brad who were married at the Rusty Pelican in Tampa, Florida! I had the opportunity to sit down with these two a couple times before the big day and I knew it was going to be an awesome experience with them on their wedding day. Gaby doesn't ever stop laughing and Brad is as laid back and genuine as can be. When their wedding day arrived we began at the gorgeous Grand Hyatt Hotel/Oystercatchers for their getting ready photos and formals and I loved being able to explore so many different picturesque locations for pictures! Gardens, trees and flowers; waterfalls with a romantic bridge above a coy pond; and a dock leading out to the water where the sun was setting perfectly behind them. Even though this couple will probably never read this, a big THANKS goes out to the husband and wife watching the sun go down celebrating their 7 year anniversary who gracefully gave up their seat for our photos :) After some early sunset fun we headed to The Rusty Pelican where we had the true definition of a "sunset ceremony." As the ceremony progressed the sky became more romantic and we had the chance to take about 5 photos on the rocks with a gorgeous sunset before it all fell below the horizon. A beautiful sunset for a beautiful couple! Not only beautiful, but these two {and their friends & family} were a blast! Reception time introduced me to "Hora Luca" and a scroll through some reception pictures at the end of this blog will show exactly how crazy and fun it was! Congrats again guys and thanks for an awesome day full of love!
