Cristina + Carlos | Colorful Ybor City Wedding
Aug 25, 2025

Cristina and Carlos’ Ybor City wedding was filled with color, joy, and so many meaningful personal touches. They wanted to have a first look and amazing portraits indoors, so they got ready at Hotel Haya, one of our favorite spots in Ybor. After their first look, Carlos surprised Cristina which a gorgeous tennis bracelet! We explored the lobby for portraits, including my personal favorite location—the Library! The clean lines, textures, and unique vibe made it the perfect backdrop for modern and romantic wedding photos. The decor and the vibe of the hotel was perfection. Even the furniture matched the colors:-)

When Emmah and I first chatted about her and Josh’s engagement session, she had such a beautiful, intentional vision for it. She wanted the style to be lifestyle-inspired, organic, neutral, and centered around a waterfront vibe—basically all of my favorite things to photograph! She even wanted to end in the water, which made it extra dreamy.

One of the best parts of what I do is getting to walk through so many seasons of life with the amazing couples I photograph. I’ve known Sara and Javaris since their engagement session and wedding day, and it’s been such a joy to stay connected over the years. Being able to capture this next chapter as they prepare to become parents was truly so special!
