Tu + Vane Step Into The Limelight | Shahnasarian Hall | Pinellas Park, FL

August 2, 2024

This wonderful couple jokes that they were lured by each other on Hinge, and now they've celebrated their unique love story in a spectacular wedding at Shahnasarian Hall. Their journey is nothing short of enchanting, highlighting how they always put each other first.

The bride and groom's interests are delightfully unconventional, enjoying TV shows and discussing taxes together. This quirky connection led to a wedding day that felt like a perfect culmination of fate, brought to life with a "Modern Tradition and Union of two families" theme.

Their wedding location and theme were inspired by the serendipitous nature of their relationship, captured perfectly by Tampa wedding photographers. Their special day was filled with memorable moments, including a touching tea and ring ceremony, and was uniquely enhanced by DIY projects like the bride’s family creating the wedding cake tower and dessert table.

One of the standout features of the day was the dessert and boba bar, which delighted all the guests. Despite the modern touches, the couple managed to incorporate Vietnamese wedding photography elements, creating a perfect blend of tradition and contemporary flair.

Their wedding outfits were chosen with practicality in mind, designed to elegantly hide the baby belly, yet they radiated a sophisticated charm that matched the day’s joyous mood. The highlight of the ceremony was undoubtedly the emotional moment when the groom received the bride, a memory that will forever be etched in their hearts.

This wedding, supported by the Shahnasarian Hall Preferred Vendors, was a true celebration of family and love, perfectly captured in their Asian wedding photography packages.
