Downtown Tampa Bayshore Wedding Elopement

An intimate Wedding Downtown Tampa

Intimate Wedding

When this couple contacted me they were initially going to get married at the court house.  The possibility was there of the brides parents being present but at the last minute there was a location change and the couple opted for it to just be the both of them. The Downtown Tampa Courthouse was the original location  for the nuptials but the couple opted to move the wedding across the street from the Tampa Garden Club at Fred Ball Park. Wedding Wellness officiated the vows. 

Planning for Weather

The one thing not planned for was the weather. Consider alternative locations in the event of weather. We lucked out as the park had a gazebo the couple could stand under while the ceremony took place. Thankfully, it was a passing shower and with a little wait we could take full advantage of the setting around us

Make it About your love

When planning an intimate wedding consider a setting that speaks to you. The more comfortable you are in your setting the more your images will speak toy. Being comfortable with each other really does show in your images. The wonderful thing about an elopement is you are truly in the moment with each other. If you have the opportunity to take advantage of a small intimate setting you will not be disappointed. This couple got a full hour to just be in the moment with out any family interruption. 

Pick an Officiant you can relate to

Weddings and wellness is one of our top picks for an officiant. Keeping it fun while getting to know the couple prior to really helps the ceremony be more personal. It keeps you in the moment and really makes it about the moment and celebrating your love. Finding a pastor or officiant you can relate to really helps relax a couple and allow them to become one in the moment.
