Lakewood Ranch Country Club Wedding | Tampa Wedding Photographer

Victoria and Ian’s wedding day at Lakewood Ranch Golf and Country Club was simply stunning and so classy. Ever since Tori booked me as her wedding photographer, we have talked a lot about timelines and her visions of her wedding day. Once Covid became a thing, there was a lot of hesitation and stress on her and Ian, but the pushed on and did not let it get them best of them and then earlier this November they had their day and it was M A G I C A L.

When I walked into the bridal suite all the girls were relaxing and laughing with their lovely bride. Everyone was so helpful and willing to do whatever to help me and get Tori anything she needed! The kind of tribe every bride needs by their side on their wedding day! Tori and Ian wanted a traditional “first look” at the ceremony, but they wanted to share a moment together. We placed them back to back before Ian headed to the church and it was such an intimate, and emotional moment for the two of them. They second their hands touched the other, they both teared up. They shared a little convo and a sweet I love you before they got to see each other in the next hour.

Ian was nervous, excited, anxious, all the feelings, all at once. He smiled, he took some deep breaths and cried when he saw his beautiful bride walk down the aisle on her dads arm. But do not think he was the only one with the waterfall eyes. Tori was in instant tears, as well as most of their families and the bridesmaids! It was truly a goosebump worthy moment, and a moment that really showed an external representation of how deep their love is.

Tori and Ian could not stop smiling at each other all day, it was the absolute sweetest thing! Back at Lakewood Ranch, we found amazing spots for portraits, and had the best weather for it too! There are SO many that have become favorites and I have been DYING to share!

Tori & Ian – you two are a dream. Thank you so much for having me there to capture you love, and I cannot wait to follow along your next chapter! xoxo
