Armature Works Tampa Wedding | Rebecca+Max
They say that ‘2nd time is a charm’. Well for Rebecca + Max ‘3rd time is a charm’ was the winner! After rescheduling their wedding twice in New York because of pandemic restrictions in 2020 and then again in 2021, the couple decided to move their wedding to Tampa where they are currently living. Armature Works became an obvious choice for their April 2022 wedding because it had a similar vibe to their original New York venue.
Changing venues and states to host their wedding didn’t stop their NY wedding planner Deborah Mlnarik Events! She coordinated everything and flew in for the event. She was lovely to work with!
Rebecca got ready at Le Meridien Tampa while Max hung out with their favorite felines at their Tampa home. Don’t worry about white cat fur on a black suit. They had it handled with a lint roller! Rebecca looked amazing after pampering by Destiny & Light Hair and Makeup.
Max, who works for the Tampa Bay Bucs made sure his 2021 Super Bowl ring was part of their wedding day.
Rebecca + Max did not have a traditional bridal party, filling those roles with members of their family. It made their ceremony even more intimate especially yelling ‘mazel tov’ as they smashed the glass after their first kiss!
It is Florida so of course it also sprinkled rain at one point. This clear umbrella made for some great portraits!
The florals decorating the ceremony and reception space were so elegant and Eve’s Florist did an amazing job bringing Rebecca + Max’s vision of their wedding to life.
Gatos!
We drooled over the individual pies from Southern Bay Bakery! The food catered by Puff ’n Stuff Catering was delish as always.
Rebecca + Max also included a piñata full of energy bars they busted open, a limbo contest that had some impressive participants and decided to buck tradition a bit and had Max toss the bouquet. So fun!
One of our favorite wedding traditions to photograph is the Hora dance where the bride and groom is hoisted up in chairs on the shoulders of guests. It’s a little scary while still tons of fun for all involved and great facial expressions, always!
Limbo contest, complete with pants splitting! I love how Rebecca’s friends all are ready to spot her in case she falls. That is friendship!
