Enjoy this touching highlight reel by Rod Baker Video!

And this…is why every couple should consider a videographer in addition to a talented professional photographer. You will regret not having these lasting memories of the special moments you enjoyed on wedding day.

The cliche saying of “you had to be there” is all that comes to mind as I viewed this beautiful recap of Allison & Daniel’s beautiful wedding day. They define “soulmates” - their love is so inspirational.

As always Events Done Right always takes care of me and has the best equipment to make me sound like a superstar!

Special thanks to The Barn at Crescent Lake. Your venue and staff always create the most beautiful experiences for your couples. Thank you for having me. 🙏❤️

Allison and Daniel's love started a long time ago when they both started working at Panera. She actually made the first move by bringing him something specia...

One of the most blissful, romantic evenings I have enjoyed this year was on Pass A Grille Beach in St. Pete, with Michael & Paola. What a dreamy experience!🥰

Michael & Paola flew to Florida from Greece to share their vows. On our initial call, we instantly became friends and couldn’t wait to meet each other. When I found out Paola is from Colombia - an even stronger bond developed; Colombia is very close to my heart.

A few members of Michael’s family joined us that live in Tarpon Springs (another favorite place of mine!). Paola was also so grateful to have family from Colombia fly in for their intimate wedding celebration.

As you can see, they were blessed with a magical sunset on the eve of their wedding - as they so deserved. We were "sobre la luna" to see these two become "Mr. & Mrs. Luna!"

Thank you both for the honor of sharing these special moments with you. I will see you again in Greece! 🙏❤️

P.S. Thank you also for the incredible review. 💝

This wedding was straight out of a fairytale. Gabi (the Bride) had the vision, and Gabby - Copper River + Co., brought it to life.

I may have been one of the smallest pieces in this grand event but it was a privilege and an honor to serve such a unique and enchanted wedding celebration for two of the most vibrant, creative couples I've ever worked with.

The creativity that went into this celebration was so impressive and the photo/video team clearly captured it all. It would be so easy to create another 20 posts of this wedding - it still wouldn't capture it all. Instead, visit the Marry Me Tampa Bay blog to enjoy the full feature of this breathtaking event! https://marrymetampabay.com/european-inspired-vintage.../

Gabi & Kyle...there will never be words to express my gratitude - you are such a dynamic duo. This day was a dream come true for me also! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.🙏❤️

Once I receive photos from this spectacular event - I will be sure to share.
I have looked forward to working this venue since I moved to Florida. I was so thrilled that Gabi asked me to unite her and Kyle in marriage. This was not just a wedding - this was a celebrity event! Check out all the incredible shots from their special day!❤️

Thank you Marry Me Tampa Bay for the inclusion in your feature! ❤️

I can't possibly think of a better way to spend the start of my July 4th than this...
Sunrise, nobody on the beach, a wonderful photographer friend to capture such special moments....then a dip into the warm and inviting sea.

Morgan and Connor have been a couple since high school. They now have wonderful careers, the cutest little 3 year old son and a beautiful life together. It took a bit of encouragement but he helped out with the handfasting tradition.

What Morgan's mother and brother did NOT know was that Morgan & Connor came to the beach with a secret that would not be revealed until after they were pronounced husband & wife.

After the ceremony, they removed their son Landon's formal shirt, took him down to the waterline in the cutest little t-shirt that said...Happy Fireworks Day, I'm going to be a big brother!" (or wording to that effect).
Mom & Brother's expressions when asked to take a closer look at what the t-shirt said...was absolutely priceless.

What an incredible experience to be a part of. Thank you for sharing these beautiful images Deb - gorgeous as always!

Oh.my.goodness! Who's the tall, cute minster dude in the background? 😍

Of course before I told him he looked handsome and all official, the first thing I did was question him if he got out of the way for the kiss after they were pronounced...otherwise, to the penalty box you go!

Apparently yes he did but he couldn't see from where he was standing so moved back to the center a little prematurely. I'm good with that - this is actually a pretty cool shot!

How could it not be with Miranda Rose Photography behind the lens!

Thank you Elope Tampa Bay for having my man to officiate this past weekend. It looked like a stunning affair! Certainly a beautiful couple! ❤️

Every so often, my role as a Wedding Officiant takes me to a euphoric state, as though I’m in a movie, or a fairytale storybook. This was one of those experiences.

Caitlyn and Sarah were stunning Brides and the love radiating from these two (and their guests), was indescribable. ❤️

This venue is unlike any other I’ve visited. I found myself standing in the center of that big room twirling around (like a child!) looking up at the ceiling (till I got dizzy!)…because you really do lose yourself in the magnificence of the place.

Elope Tampa Bay - thank you for having me.
Caitlyn & Sara - thank you for the honor of uniting you in marriage. 🙏❤️

It was an honor to serve Alma & Scott's wedding for many reasons - but the complexity of the ceremony creation for this hour long ceremony was most rewarding. I co-performed this ceremony with Cantor Diane Becker Krasnick.

The ceremony was written specifically to honor both Jewish and Filipino traditions, creating a bridge between the Bride & Groom’s individual cultures and faith.

The Cantor is one of the most interesting ladies I have ever met and we so enjoyed serving this wedding together. She was not able to attend rehearsal but the ceremony flowed like we had rehearsed it several times - it was flawless. It was truly an honor to unite Alma & Scott in marriage, alongside the Cantor.

The incredibly talented vendor team were all so wonderful to work with!
