Ice Blue and Navy St. Petersburg Women's Club Wedding | Sarah & Nathan

On a beautiful summer day, we had the honor of capturing Sarah and Nathan's wedding at the St. Petersburg Woman's Club. The day was filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable moments.

The festivities began at the club, where Sarah and her bridesmaids got ready. The elegant color palette of ice blue, navy, pale pink, sage, and gold accents set a dreamy tone for the day. Sarah’s mom and her bridesmaids helped her into her stunning gown, and then came a heartwarming first look with her grandmother, Meme, who looked radiant in pink.

Meanwhile, Nathan and his groomsmen prepared at St. Raphael Catholic Church, looking dapper in navy suits with bow ties. The church, where Sarah's parents Heather and Mark were married 20 years ago, added an extra layer of sentiment to the day.

One of the sweetest moments was Sarah’s first look with her dad, Mark, on the waterfront. The emotion and love between them were palpable. Shortly after, Sarah and Nathan shared a private moment, standing back-to-back and reading their vows to each other without seeing one another. It was a touching and intimate prelude to their ceremony.

The ceremony itself held a delightful surprise—a "surprise ring bearer." The rings were hidden under the seat of a special guest, who was overjoyed to discover her role in the ceremony. The historic St. Raphael’s wooden doors provided a beautiful backdrop for capturing moments reminiscent of Sarah's parents' wedding.

The St. Petersburg Woman's Club, with its stunning waterfront views and charming second-story balcony, was the perfect venue for the reception. Decorated with ice blue linens and exquisite florals, the space exuded romance and elegance. Sarah’s mom, with the help of Desirae from Beach Bloomz, crafted a beautiful atmosphere with thoughtful and personal details, including a cake topper that resembled their beloved dog, Bradley and they learned how to fold the napkins into hearts!

The celebration continued with DJ Felix, who also DJ'd Heather and Mark’s wedding, keeping the dance floor lively until the sunset exit to Ol' Blu on the water. The day was filled with beautiful moments and memories that we were so thrilled to capture.

Congratulations, Sarah and Nathan! Thank you for having us be there to capture one of your best days ever we loved every minute of it!! xoxoxo
