Kelly & Joe’s Poynter Institute Celebration
Some weddings don’t need a ceremony to feel unforgettable — Kelly and Joe’s day at the Poynter Institute proved that. Bright, eclectic, and full of personality, their celebration was all about joy, laughter, and just having fun with their closest friends.
They had already tied the knot, so this day was all about celebrating together — portraits, a few vows at the start of the reception, and a full-on party. Their setup was totally unique, leaning into their personalities instead of following a traditional timeline.
One of our favorite parts? Working alongside Wilder Mind Events, who brought their vision to life with out-of-the-box, colorful design that perfectly matched Kelly and Joe’s fun, unconventional style.
As a Tampa wedding photographer, days like this remind us why we love documentary-style photography: capturing real energy, authentic connections, and the kind of memories that can’t be staged. Kelly and Joe didn’t want posed perfection — they wanted the camera to simply follow the party, and that’s exactly what we delivered.
If you’re planning a Tampa-area wedding and dreaming of something non-traditional, fun, and full of personality, Kelly and Joe’s celebration is the perfect example of how photo-first storytelling can capture a day that’s uniquely yours.
