A Match Made on Bayshore Blvd: The Love Story of Yelena and Patrick
The First Meeting!- So Cute
Who would have thought a simple jog along Bayshore Boulevard would lead to a love story for the ages? That's exactly what happened for Yelena and Patrick, two fitness enthusiasts who found each other in the most unexpected way.
As they were both running along the scenic waterfront, Patrick suddenly tripped and stumbled right in front of Yelena. She quickly rushed over to see if he was okay, and the rest, as they say, is history. They hit it off immediately and have been inseparable ever since.
A Rainy, Yet Perfect Day For their Wedding at The Tampa Garden Club
Fast forward a few years, and the two were getting ready to tie the knot at the beautiful Tampa Garden Club overlooking the stunning Tampa Bay. It was a day filled with love, laughter, and a whole lot of rain! Reminds me of another sweet, gorgeous rainy wedding I shot over in Haines City! You can peep that wedding here: Rainy Day Wedding of Camille & Garrett
As the storm clouds rolled in, Yelena and Patrick were faced with the decision of moving their ceremony indoors. But the show must go on, and these two were not about to let a little rain dampen their spirits. I always travel to my weddings with some sweet clear umbrellas to use in case of rain, this is after all Florida! My favorite umbrella has Mr. & Mrs. printed on it especially for newlywed photos. :) We were able to use the great front porch of the venue with the gorgeous columns for some photos then run out in the rain for some quick photos with the umbrella!
With the help of their loved ones, the ceremony was quickly moved inside and the day continued without a hitch. The venue was transformed into a cozy and intimate setting, creating an atmosphere that was nothing short of magical.
Family From Far and Wide
Yelena's family had traveled all the way from Spain to celebrate this special day with her and Patrick, and they brought with them the spirit of their homeland. As the rain beat down outside, the guests danced and celebrated the newlyweds, taking in the warmth of the moment.
The night was filled with joy and love, as everyone came together to toast to the start of a new chapter in the lives of Yelena and Patrick. And, as the night came to a close, the newlyweds walked hand-in-hand out into the rain, ready to take on the world together.
Despite the rain and stormy weather, the wedding of Yelena and Patrick was nothing short of perfect. It was a day filled with love, laughter, and memories that will last a lifetime. Here's to wishing these two a lifetime of happiness and love!
