We got to travel to do this Tampa Florida wedding of my Brother-in-law Philip and his lovely wife Kinzie. They were married at the gorgeous old Don Vincente Inn. Kinzie is an amazing artist, and it totally showed with all of her hand-drawn details and decor. I loved the little details, such as using the map used to collect guests signatures to the antique gold frames she scrounged from thrift stores. The basement was an old speakeasy, and I’d say we captured the mood wonderfully. Everything from the getting ready shots to the ceremony to the reception had so many special moments, and the setting made them pop all the more. Check them out, I posted way too many.

I loved all the details and emotions, especially with both sisters and mom present. bride-don-vicente-inn-getting-ready-roomdon-vicente-inn-tampa-wedding-0426I loved this staircase. Here is a little “drama shot” for you. Two lights lit this beauty. That mirror is cool too. don-vicente-inn-staircase-bridedon-vicente-inn-staircase-brideDownstairs was an old speakeasy with lounge style tables and awesome brick walls. Phil made the place look good.  groom-don-vicente-inn-getting-ready-roomThe men debating philosophical matters. (literally)I was told Kinzie scoured the local thrift shops to find these heavy gold frames. The table numbers were drawn by the bride herself. She is an amazing artist. gold-frame-wedding-table-numbersThought the bird cages were cool. Also though the letters in a bottle were awesome as well. bird-cage-wedding-cardPhil grew up in Germany, while Kinzie grew up all over (including Japan and Germany). With guest coming from everywhere they had an awesome sign-in map. Cool idea. Last moments with his daughter before the ceremony. don-vicente-inn-ceremonydon-vicente-inn-ceremonyI liked this staircase. Can you tell. Oh yeah, by the way, it was 95 degrees this day. So hot. Possibly my favorite father-daughter dance of all time. My in-laws happy to gain a lovely new daughter. Phil for the win.
