There is something about a destination wedding that makes people smile.  Well, technically  Katie and  Tim now live in Tampa but for the guests…. it was certainly a destination wedding.  There were guests from  Indiana, Maine, Rhode Island, New York and of course Florida.  You all quickly become friends! You may run into each other at the local Walgreens, the rooftop bar, breakfast…it’s cozy and it makes you happy!  The wedding day was in the low 70’s and a perfect blue sky.   Family and friends gathered at Christ the King church in Tampa for a beautiful and heartfelt Catholic ceremony!  After that, the fun never stopped!  Katie and Tim are two of the nicest people you will ever meet and I’m pretty sure neither one of them ever took a smile off their faces the whole entire day!   Congratulations Katie and Tim!  I was honored to be your photographer!  The entire gallery of wedding images will be up shortly for print ordering (by clicking on the above Order/View link).   Until then, please enjoy the VERY LONG sneak peek!
