Welcome, witches, wizards, and muggles alike, to the Harry Potter-themed Halloween party of our dreams, captured by yours truly – your favorite Tampa event photographer! Walking into this event felt like stepping straight through Platform 9 ¾ and into the Wizarding World, and we were thrilled to photograph every magical moment. From a candy cart stacked high with Chocolate Frogs and Bertie Bott’s Every Flavor Beans to enchanting decor for each Hogwarts house, every detail was designed to let guests live out their own house spirit in true Hogwarts style.
The night started with a thrilling entrance through the Forbidden Forest, where even the bravest guests felt a chill as dementors lurked in the shadows, giving the perfect eerie start to an unforgettable night. After making it past the forest, Olivander’s Wand Shop awaited, where guests were paired with their very own wands, immersing them further into the magical world. With actors bringing the characters to life, the magic felt tangible through every snap of the camera.
Of course, no Harry Potter party would be complete without Butterbeer, and there was plenty to go around, paired with treats and goodies straight from Honeydukes’ candy cart. (We’re still not over the magic the actress playing the candy cart lady brought to the whole thing!) Guests looking for a little fright ventured into a spider-themed haunted house (Aragog’s relatives, perhaps?), providing the perfect photo ops for those daring enough to brave the creepy crawlies.
As a Tampa event photographer, being part of a celebration that captured such imagination and detail was a true joy. From the Butterbeer toasts to the wand fittings, we adored documenting every spellbinding moment, ensuring that each smile, surprise, and laugh was saved. This party was a reminder of just how magical and detailed Tampa events can be—and we’re always ready to capture it all!
Love + Laughs,
Sarah & Ben
