Have you ever seen a pregnant bride’s wedding photos?

This is the first time I ever got to share wedding photos of a pregnant bride. I loved this opportunity to photograph my cousin on her wedding day! Congratulations to Katie and Kyle 🙂

Wedding photos are to follow below

Getting Ready

The day began at Homewood Suite by Hilton: 11115 US 19 North, New Port Richey, FL

 

Sims Park First Look and Wedding Portraits

Next, we met with the groom via limo service provided by Spartan Manor at Sims Park near the wedding venue

 

Spartan Manor Wedding Reception

I was blown away as a photographer by how beautiful the inside of Spartan Manor was. The chandeliers, clean and tidy hallways, and the ALREADY designed reception space – everything was READY to go as soon as I arrived. Most wedding venues are still setting up when I arrive at wedding receptions so it was really refreshing to witness such organization. The day of this January Florida wedding was specifically chilly – low temps of 50s so we had to rush through the outdoor portraits with families to ensure everyone felt comfortable.

The bride had pre-planned the family photos with note cards and numbers so each grouping knew when they were ready for their set of portraits. I like to speed through family photos as fast as possible just so the family and couple can relax and eat/mingle before the party at the reception. At Spartan Manor, there’s a large dedicated and well-furnished room just for the wedding party to relax near the reception. Before the grand entry, the couple wanted to sneak in a photo on the grand piano too.

 

Some key things at this Spartan Manor (beautiful pregnant bride) wedding:

• Shoe game with DJ  @partystarterstampa was incredible entertainment
• A large group photo of the entire party at wedding reception planned by @partystarterstampa
• Bouquet and Garter Belt toss entertainment
• A TV in the cocktail hour bar room playing the playoff football game to keep them entertained
• Delicious food served – hot and tasty

 Nighttime Magical Fine Art Photos of a Pregnant Bride and Fairylights

The day after their wedding, we planned to meet at their parent’s home for nighttime magical fine art photos. The couple had set up a fairy light curtain with warm lights and battery-operated candles. I brought a large pack of my own string battery-operated fairy lights as well to get creative.
