Richelle and Alex’s wedding at the Tampa Museum of Art was a beautiful celebration filled with meaningful moments, stunning views, and an incredible group of family and friends.

The day began in Tampa’s historic Ybor City neighborhood, where Richelle got ready surrounded by her bridesmaids and family. Before heading to the ceremony, she shared an emotional first look with her father and bridesmaids, creating some of the most memorable moments of the morning.

Meanwhile, Alex and his groomsmen spent the morning getting ready nearby before making their way to the Tampa Riverwalk for portraits. With downtown Tampa as the backdrop, it was the perfect setting to capture a few relaxed moments before the celebration officially began.

Richelle and Alex chose not to see each other before the ceremony, making the walk down the aisle even more emotional. As Richelle made her entrance, the reactions from family, friends, and Alex himself were unforgettable.

Their ceremony concluded just before sunset, giving us beautiful light for portraits around The Dalí Museum and along the St. Petersburg waterfront.

The celebration continued inside the museum, where guests were welcomed into the reception with a grand entrance from the staircase. The Bay Kings kept the dance floor full throughout the evening, and the night ended with a private boat ride to the couple’s after-party.

From beginning to end, the day felt elegant, joyful, and deeply personal. We’re grateful to have been part of it and honored to document these memories for Richelle and Alex.
