Tampa Bay Cruise Wedding | Nichole + Everett Married on Yacht StarShip
We had a wonderful time with Tampa locals Nichole + Everett who essentially held a destination wedding for their Midwestern families aboard the Yacht StarShip.
The couple got ready with their bridal party at the Tampa Marriott Water Street which always makes for good pre-ceremony portraits. The light that comes streaming in from the massive windows plus the light colored walls makes it seem like we are shooting inside a giant softbox light.
Nichole's mom, Arelene, did most of the planning and was just the loveliest to work with. She wanted the most amazing day for her daughter and new son-in-law. They wanted blue and white with a little bit of red in their decor, but not so much red that it looked like the 4th of July. They did an amazing job right down to the red chargers, super cute Florida cookie favors from Hands on Sweets and even Nichole's grandmother wore a beautiful red top.
Family was very much a part of Nichole + Everett’s day. Nichole’s 4 brothers all wore matching blue suits which they proudly showed off. Everett’s two wonderful aunts made sure they had a good photo with their favorite nephew and his sister was one of Nichole’s bridesmaids. Everett's mother had passed, so Nichole’s mom made for him a special coin with his mom’s portrait so she could be with him the whole day.
This was such a fun group of guys!
Pretty sure they had a lot of fun growing up together!
And Everett is going to have zero problem fitting in with his new brothers.
The view from the Yacht StarShip is so stunning!
The steel drums by Mello Vibes set the tone for their harbor cruise wedding. Jennie’s Flowers of Tampa Bay gave them exactly what they were looking for with their white and blue with subtle red florals. Gorgeous!
Serious business!
Love it when our couples print one of our images from their engagement session to have at their reception!
Can we just say that Nichole and Everett’s friends and family can DANCE! Such fun people!
Congrats Nichole + Everett! Your family and friends were literally the sweetest!
