Hyatt Regency | Clearwater Beach Wedding | Crystal & Philip
“On the shore of Clearwater Beach, the coquina clams dug into the sand near the water with their muscled foot and boats rushed across the waves. The sky was getting sleepy, the clouds a blur by wind in the upper atmosphere, the sun closing its eyes on the east coast…”
At the Hyatt Regency, flowers were blooming and birds were chanting hymns of joy. On the shore of Clearwater Beach, the coquina clams dug into the sand near the water with their muscled foot and boats rushed across the waves. The sky was getting sleepy, the clouds a blur by wind in the upper atmosphere, the sun closing its eyes on the east coast, but this sweet couple’s love never rested. Meet Crystal and Phillip, they first started dating on September 30, 2010. After seven glorious years of being together, on March 28, 2017, they got engaged. A year later of being engaged, it is finally official; “The Best Day” as seen on their board with the previous two dates is their wedding day, June 10, 2018. This heart warming aura kept the night young and full.
The lovely purple theme with accents of silver and gold inspired elegance and class just as the bride aspired to have. She said,“The wedding is small…, it allowed me to create a lot of personalized details. I wanted the wedding to be very personalized and unique to us as a couple.” She achieved this goal and surpassed the expectation; every detail was so beautiful and unparalleled. Even the cake was dazzling with the crystal cut appearance down the middle of the cake and garnished with the sweetest cake topper.
The bride wore a captivating dress, it was designed with shiny beads stitched in a luxurious pattern. Her ruffled train followed her everywhere beautifully. Her veil was lined with the same silvery beads at the end. The groom wore a navy blue, griseous tuxedo with a white dress shirt and tie and very special cuff links that were a sweet little surprise gift from the bride. “He doesn't know it yet but I bought Philip a special pair of cufflinks…, engraved with our initials, wedding date and coordinates of the wedding venue.”

Fort De Soto beach Wedding | Dalma & Felix | Tampa wedding photographer
“This couple inspires happiness, that’s how ecstatic they are about one another. Not even the pouring rain that washed away any doubt this day could stop this couple…”
Tampa wedding photographer | Fort de Soto Beach wedding
“There is never a time or place for true love. It happens accidentally, in a heartbeat, in a single flashing, throbbing moment.” -unknown
Fort De Soto is a place of course, but their love has no specific coordinates. It goes with them wherever they go; hovering over them like a delightful cloud. This couple inspires happiness, that’s how ecstatic they are about one another. Not even the pouring rain that washed away any doubt this day could stop this couple despite the fact that the ceremony was suppose to be outside. These pictures still came out beautiful and are only evidence of this proposition.
The bride wore a pure white wedding dress with a gorgeous flower crown containing the most vibrant and eye-catching colors. In her hands is a bouquet of white flowers with only a hint of purple at the center of each blossom, drawing more attention to the flower crown. Her son wore a pink collared button up shirt, with khaki shorts, and cute tan suede dress shoes with nike socks. The groom modeled a tan suit and vest with a pop up burgundy dress shirt along with a tan and burgundy striped tie.
The beach theme was a complete success with their cake, it was simply aesthetic; the starfish and sandy texture with the frosting really sold the look. The flowers just added to the appearance. In addition to the rain foiling the original plans, the ceremony had to go on and with mom’s help, the decorations completed this change in plans while keeping it outdoors under a gazebo. This monogamy not only brought two wonderfully loving people together, it also made a family complete to the fullest.
