Tampa Marriott Water Street | Mike’s 70th Birthday

What an incredible night celebrating a true legend—Mike Brennick—on his 70th birthday at the stunning Marriott Water Street in downtown Tampa! His daughter, Siana, pulled off a beautifully planned evening that brought together friends and family from near and far, all to honor a man who is clearly deeply loved and admired.

Mike is one of ten siblings, and all but one were able to attend—what a rare and special opportunity to photograph generations of the Brennick family all in one place! You could truly feel the warmth and connection between everyone in the room. It was the perfect night for updated family portraits and candid moments that captured the joy, laughter, and love they all share.

The evening was filled with heartfelt moments—from moving toasts by Mike’s best friend and Siana, to an emotional letter read aloud by his son from a friend who couldn’t be there in person. Every word was a testament to the incredible life Mike has led and the impact he’s had on those around him.

Mike founded Brennick Brothers Inc. in 1991, a plumbing and mechanical contracting company that continues to be a pillar of excellence in the industry. His cake was a creative nod to that legacy—a Boiler Plate design by the always-impressive Hands on Sweets. It was both delicious and perfectly on theme!

Deleon Entertainment brought the energy and had everyone on their feet with incredible live music, and the space was beautifully brought to life by the floral artistry of Events in Bloom. From the details to the dance floor, it was a celebration to remember.

Getting to know the Brennick family and all of Mike’s closest people was such a joy—they truly made me feel like a guest! Capturing these memories was an honor, and I’m so grateful to have been a small part of such a meaningful milestone.

Happy 70th, Mike! Your legacy of family, friendship, and hard work is something to be celebrated—and we did just that in style.
