Hotel Haya Engagement Session

Stylish Engagement Session at Hotel Haya in Ybor City | Kristen Marie Photography

Engagement sessions are such a wonderful way to capture a couple’s personality in a relaxed, authentic way before the wedding day. This couple chose to celebrate their story with a session at Hotel Haya in Ybor City, and it could not have been a more perfect backdrop. With its modern design, historic Ybor charm, and incredible indoor spaces, Hotel Haya is quickly becoming one of my favorite spots for both engagement sessions and weddings in Tampa.

Why Hotel Haya is Perfect for Engagement Photos

Located in the heart of Ybor City, Hotel Haya offers the best of both worlds: chic, modern interiors and a connection to the neighborhood’s vibrant history. From the stylish lobby filled with bold art and natural light to cozy nooks perfect for intimate portraits, the hotel provides endless opportunities for unique, editorial-style engagement photos.

For this couple’s session, we explored the indoor spaces of Hotel Haya, using the elegant lounge areas, colorful textures, and dramatic architecture as a backdrop. The atmosphere felt warm, romantic, and effortlessly stylish—exactly what you want from an engagement session that feels personal and timeless.
