My second wedding of the year took Deirdre and I all the way down to Tampa, FL. Kierra and Drew (who’s October engagement session I just blogged) were married at St. Stephen’s Catholic Church in Riverview FL.

The day was absolutely beautiful! I started off with Kierra and her girls at her family’s house while Deirdre spent the morning with Drew and his guys at his house. From there, we went to their venue, The Regent, for their first look. After their first look, and wedding party portraits, it was time to go to the Church!

Their Nuptial Mass was filled was so much joy and reverence – one of my favorite parts was when the musicians sang “The Blessing”. Such a powerful song to have sung at a wedding!

After the Mass ended, we went to a nearby park for some “Just Married” portraits before going back to the Regent for the reception!

Kierra and Drew, thank you for trusting me with capturing your wedding! It has been such a joy and honor getting to know you both and I hope you love these photos as much as I do!

Xoxo,

Mary Kate
