Janel and George’s Luxurious Tampa Wedding

This luxurious Tampa wedding for Janel and George was spectacular from beginning to end. It incorporated family tradition, elegance, and stunning black, white, and silver decor. We loved working with the couple and their family on this incredible day.

 

In The Beginning

We love that the incredible day included a beautiful portrait session with Janel getting ready. It captured the details of the day, dressing, and the celebration, sending her off for the wedding ceremony.

 

 

Across town, George celebrated the day getting ready with his family and wedding party. 

 

 

Get Me To The Church On Time

Following a joyous celebration sending Janel off to the wedding ceremony, she and her father departed in an incredible vintage car.

 

 

An Everlasting Love

With friends and family gathered at St. Athanasius Syriac Orthodox Church, Janel, escorted by her father, made her way down the aisle to “Can’t Help Falling In Love.”

 

 

Emotions truly got the best of George as he saw his stunning bride for the first time.

 

 

The wedding ceremony that followed was touching and filled with tradition and emotion. 

 

 

The ceremony ended with the newlywed’s exit to “An Everlasting Love” by Natalie Cole.

 

 

Whitehurst Gallery

Following some family photos inside the church, the newlyweds made their way to the incredible Whitehurst Gally for some of the most spectacular wedding portraits we’ve seen.

 

 

Meanwhile, wedding guests enjoyed cocktail hour in downtown Tampa. The handcrafted seating chart made it easy to find their table assignments. 

 

 

They enjoyed cocktails and passed hors d’oeuvres and stations, including a Pasta Station, Quesadilla Station, and Stirfry Station.

 

The Reception Reveal

Inside the ballroom, everything was in place for the couple’s sneak peek at the decor. 

 

 

They were blown away by the beautiful design and decor. Mirrored tables were interwoven, with tables draped in stark black linens. Acrylic chivari chairs, clear glass urns, and candle holders were accented with beautiful white flowers.

 

 

Off to one side was the couple’s sweetheart table. It sat on a white riser and was accented with lush white floral cascades, blooming trees, and hanging candles.

 

 

Nearby sat their amazing four-tiered white wedding cake with elegant white geometric details.

 

 

Let’s Get The Party Started!

Following introductions, everyone took to the dance floor to start the celebration. The evening continued with the couple’s first dance, parent dances, a delicious multicourse dinner, and several touching toasts.

 

 

Guests took to the dance floor, enjoying luscious desserts, Gelato, and specialty coffees.

 

 

Janel and George danced the night away, barely leaving the dancefloor until the night was over.

 

 

Congratulations, Janel and George! We’re so glad we were part of your special moments, and we wish you a lifetime of happiness together!
