a wedding that felt like one big house party

Alternative Wedding | Tampa Wedding Photographer


Some couples spend months searching for the perfect wedding venue. These two already had theirs. Fancy Free Nursery wasn’t just where they got married—it was already part of their story.


Instead of a ballroom, they filled the nursery with disco balls, colorful streamers, karaoke, and all of their favorite people. There were no stiff traditions or pressure to make the day look a certain way. Just great music, beer pong, hugs that lasted a little longer than expected, and a dance floor that never seemed to empty.


It felt less like attending a wedding and more like being invited to the best house party you’ve ever been to. These are the kinds of celebrations I love photographing because nothing feels forced. The moments happen naturally, people forget the camera is there, and the photos become a reflection of what the day actually felt like. If you’re planning a wedding at Fancy Free Nursery or anywhere in Tampa, Florida, and you’re dreaming of something that’s unapologetically you, I’d love to tell your story
