Grand Hyatt Wedding | Tampa, Florida | N & T

Congratulations to Nicole and Travis who got married last weekend at the Grand Hyatt in Tampa, Florida!! From the moment I arrived I was greeted by the friendliest of staff who were there to help with whatever I needed and I am always so appreciative of those who do their job well, and even go out of the way to assist :) It was a beautiful venue, a gorgeous day, and Travis and Nicole {along with their friends and family} were so amazing! I'm not sure I've ever been thanked so many times throughout a wedding day for the work that I have been hired to do! These two are certainly some very special people! One of the most touching moments of the whole day was when Travis' dad, who also happened to be his best man, gave the toast at the reception. There was not a dry eye in the room {including me!} The love between father and son was spectacular to see and it carried over into every aspect of the day. The love Nicole and Travis share is beyond words and it is so evident with how he looked at her, touched her gently, and allowed her to really be "herself" at every moment of the day. I am so thankful when couples trust me during their formals and allow me to say, "Hey! Lets do this, then this, then this!" and they are 100% with me on it. We had 30 minutes to shoot bride/groom formals and had a few places to hit before the sun went down. Starting on the 14th floor of The Grand Hyatt in Armani's restaurant we jumped on the elevator to go downstairs, ran outside to take our first set of formals, jumped back on the elevator to go back up 14 floors, set up my lights really quick, moved some furniture around, climbed on top of the furniture, and posed their little booties off while the sun went down over Tampa Bay. Phew! So glad they stuck with me through it because I am so happy with the results! A special thanks to their bridal party for a super fun formal inside the lounge during the reception as well! I'm so happy for Travis and Nicole and I cannot wait to see where their life takes them :)
