Florida Aquarium Tampa Wedding | Natasha + Matt

We so loved being part of Natasha + Matt’s wedding at the Florida Aquarium. Events at this venue are always something special. Plus working with the sweetest people makes for a wonderful day.

We started the day with Natasha and her girls at the Westin Tampa Waterside where the beauty team from Michele Renee The Studio did a gorgeous job with hair and makeup. The girls toasted their BFF in mimosa cups Natasha made for all of them. The getting ready tradition is always one of our favorites and reminds us of fun slumber parties back in the day.

The guys also got ready onsite and Matt presented each of them with pocket watches as their groomsmen gifts. So classy! Then we headed downstairs so Matt could see his bride for the first time. We took some time before the ceremony to take photos of the bridal party and some portraits of Natasha + Matt around the different exhibits.

Natasha’s dad to escorted her down the aisle where Matt and a bunch of sharks were waiting for her. You never know what will be swimming by during your ceremony which makes it kind of fun.

Breezin Weddings kept the flow of the evening and everything on schedule. Having a planner is always a smart and helpful thing on your wedding day. Highly recommend. That way you don’t have to worry about a thing. Just show up and the party happens all around you.

A Piece of Cake did a wonderful job with this coral reef themed cake!

With first dances, parent dances and toasts done, Sound Waves Pro DJ’s got everyone out on the dance floor. Natasha and her gals took the bouquet toss very seriously! That was some great luck that got transferred there!

Photo booths are so fun! We love it when couples book one. The images the couples get out of them of their guests are priceless and are infinitely better than the old school table shots from long ago.

As the night came to a close Natasha + Matt had their final private dance while everyone gathered outside. Bubbles were everywhere and we loved how they caught the light as the newlyweds made their way through the cheers!
