westin tampa bay wedding: andrew & allison

The wind blew. Hard. And it could have easily moved the smiles right off of their faces as they waited to see each other for the first time that day. The light bits of rain could have washed away their good moods and the clouds could have cast a gray shadow. But their’s was a day of light. And of love. And the kind of happiness that not only comes so easy to them, but is the only way they know. And on a lightly rainy, incredibly windy December day, their’s was a day of sunshine. Because wherever they go together, they seem to bring their own . . . . .

Allison and Andrew are married!  The two of them had an incredibly sweet wedding day that was flawlessly perfect. Allison looked stunning in a fitted gown, so much so that Andrew made the cutest face of surprise when he first got to see her that day. And the two of them didn’t let the wind or light rain bother them in the slightest, and had such a sweetly laid-back attitude about the entire day that they were rewarded with gorgeous weather by the time their ceremony rolled around.

Their are so many things we could say to rave about this day, from the fact that their bridal party was so fun to be around or that the mixed color palette was gorgeous, but the thing we loved most about it were the people at the center of it. From the moment we first met Andrew and Allison it was so very obvious that they were simply excited to marry each other and start this next chapter of their lives, and that sweet outlook came through in every bit of their day.

Allison + Andrew, thank you so much for such an incredibly fun day. Thank you for being so easy to work with and for making us feel like such an important part of your wedding. We couldn’t have loved it any more and know that you guys are going to have a marriage that is even better than this amazing day!

Love + Laughs,

Sarah & Ben
