THE ITALIAN CLUB | 3rd Annual TIE THE KNOT EVENT | TAMPA, FL

Thank you The Italian Club of Tampa for including Limelight Photography as a preferred partner for Tie the Knot Ybor event! 

Brides and grooms rode a trolley ride around historic Ybor city to visit six beautiful wedding venues with their roots in building Tampa Bay. They tasted food from the area’s best caterers, met with wedding planners and entertainment professionals, all on one Thursday afternoon in August.

The Italian Club, three-story building, founded over 100 years ago, is an architectural masterpiece laced with elegance and historic beauty. Perfectly located in the historic district of Ybor City, this beautifully restored, classically elegant building provides the perfect venue for someone looking for an all-in-one facility.  They offer three distinctive rooms, each with a personality and style of their own.  The building has three levels; the Cantina on the first floor, the Theater on the second floor and the Grand Ballroom on the third floor. With three floors of event space, The Italian Club has the unique appeal of being able to accommodate a wedding ceremony, cocktail hour and reception in three separate locations, all with a cultivated charm of their own.

Kayla + Shane Step Into The Limelight | Davis Islands Garden Club | Tampa, FL

Merry. Loved. Cheerful!

Kayla and Shane met in class at the University of Florida in 2014. Together they enjoy trying new restaurants/new foods, hiking with their dog and watching true crime documentaries. Shane loves Kayla’s sense of humor and her incredible ambition. She loves how he is funny, hard-working, and understanding. Shane proposed on a hike near Leigh Lake in the Grand Tetons National Park. 

They had a beautiful ceremony in a romantic garden outdoor setting, followed by fun night dancing and mingling with they closest friends and family. The pinnacle of the night was when the bride and groom made their getaway from the venue in a water taxi!

Kayla and Shane had some super cool details! Kayla made all of the bouquets out of wooden flowers so they are more sustainable and can be kept forever! The overhead string lights between the trees added to the elegant ambience of the evening. And their centerpieces will be interactive!
