A Heartfelt Celebration: Evan & Stephen's Intimate Wedding at Station House, St. Pete
Hey there, friend! Pull up a chair, grab a cup of coffee, and let me tell you about the most amazing wedding I had the pleasure of photographing recently. Picture this: a warm Tuesday evening in downtown St. Pete, Florida, where love was in the air and tacos were on the menu.
So, Evan and Stephen, two of the sweetest souls you'll ever meet, decided to tie the knot at Station House, overlooking the cityscape, and let me tell you, it was nothing short of magical. But what made it truly special was the heartwarming touches they added to honor their loved ones and create unforgettable moments.
Evan shared with me how much her maternal grandparents meant to her, and to feel closer to them on their wedding day, they chose to say "I do" on their 70th wedding anniversary date. Can you believe that? It was such a beautiful tribute to their legacy of love. And get this – Evan wore earrings that her grandmother received from her father on her own wedding day. Talk about keeping family close to your heart, right?
Before the ceremony kicked off, Evan and Stephen stole away for a private first look with their adorable pups by the water at North Straub Park. Can you imagine the scene? The sun was dipping low, casting a soft, golden glow, and there they were, just basking in the moment, surrounded by love and furry cuddles.
After some stunning portraits and family photos, it was time for the main event: the rooftop terrace ceremony at Station House. The city skyline provided the perfect backdrop as Evan and Stephen exchanged vows during the dreamy blue hour. It was pure magic, my friend, pure magic.
But wait, it gets even better. Instead of a fancy sit-down dinner, they opted for Taco Tuesday downstairs. Can you say genius? Who doesn't love tacos? It was laid-back, fun, and oh-so-delicious – just like Evan and Stephen.
And as if the night couldn't get any more heartwarming, they surprised everyone with a rendition of the Chi Omega song, Evan's sorority anthem. Picture this: Grandma Marcia, mom, aunts, sister, cousins – they all joined in, filling the air with laughter and love. It was a moment I'll never forget.
So, there you have it, friend – Evan and Stephen's unforgettable wedding filled with love, laughter, and tacos. It was an absolute honor to capture their special day, and I'll carry the memories with me forever. If you're ever in need of a storyteller to capture your own magical moments, you know where to find me. Let's create some memories together!
