Andrew + Braedon's Tampa Wedding

Andrew and Braedon had a stunning bright colored wedding! The use of black and white with the pops of color and gold was so trendy but also very timeless. They were also featured on Marry Me Tampa Bay! Check out some of what Braedon said below and follow the link for the full feature!

“We didn't have a theme; we mainly we just chose a color scheme for our wedding,” the bride explained. “One thing we did incorporate was black and white stripes. I liked the black and white with the pop of the colorful flowers and gold accents."

“We didn't just want basic, traditional photos. We looked through Rad Red Creative's photos of their engagements and weddings and loved them. We met with Leo and Brittany for the first time over craft brews, and they were very welcoming,” the bride shared. “We absolutely loved both our engagement photos and wedding photos. They even made it look like we were floating in the clouds in some of our photos. They are so friendly and easy to work with. Our guests kept approaching us about how great they were and how much they liked our photographers, as well as how the pictures turned out.”

Here are some of our favorite images from the day!

“We didn’t do a first look, and we stayed apart the night before our wedding, so, the moment when we saw each other for the first time up close (once I walked down the aisle of the church) was special. We were both so nervous, and it was comforting to be reunited and holding hands,” the bride reminisced. “The moment after we first became husband and wife, Andrew began to cry, and we were both so happy and overwhelmed with emotion.”

What advice would you give to other Tampa Bay couples? 
Enjoy the process of wedding planning. It can be stressful, but it's a once in a lifetime experience. It's true what everyone says: the wedding day goes by so fast. You blink, and it's over, so really try to “stop and smell the roses” that day. Take time out alone as a couple whenever you can to be present in the moment and remember what the day is all about. Some parts of wedding planning can be corny, but again, it’s a once in a lifetime experience, so do it anyway! Wear the bride sunglasses at your bachelorette and play the silly games at the bridal shower and enjoy drinking coffee out of a “bride-to-be” mug. You’ll get gifts that say Future Mrs. and Lucky Mr., or coozies that say Mr. Right and Mrs. Right, etc. Those things felt a bit silly or corny at first but eventually I was like, I’m only doing this once, might as well enjoy it!
