LARISSA & BRAD’S INTIMATE TAMPA ELOPEMENT
Larissa and Brad had what some might consider a “microwedding.” When Larissa had her consultation with me, she emphasized how deeply in love they are and that they wanted their wedding to be solely about them. They weren’t concerned with having a big party or celebration because they wanted elegant intimacy. Only their parents, siblings, and grandparents attended on their special day — the love for these newlyweds was so tangible, even I felt like I was part of their family.
Larissa wore her mother’s wedding gown from decades ago and made it her own, adding very trendy puffy sleeves and creating a veil to her specifications. She got ready quietly with her mom as Brad was finishing up his final details, with his own mom pinning his boutonniere onto the breast of his well tailored suit jacket.
After the ceremony, they took a walk through the contemporary and modern Current Hotel in Tampa, which overlooks the bay. They prioritized these moments together away from the reception and cocktails and, in return, received a stunning and elegant gallery as they begin their happily ever after.
