Amanda & Tessa
Amanda and Tessa’s wedding at Armature Works was a beautiful mix of modern Tampa style, soft earth tones, and warm candlelight. With a relaxed palette of sage green, taupe, and natural neutrals, every detail felt intentional while still keeping the celebration comfortable and personal.
Getting Ready & First Look
The day began at the JW Marriott Tampa, where Amanda and Tessa got ready before sharing their first look. From there, the celebration moved to Armature Works for their ceremony and reception. With no traditional wedding party, the focus stayed on the two of them, their families, and the people who had gathered to celebrate their marriage.
Amanda’s bridal look included a gown from WONA Concept and Kleinfeld Bridal, with hair and makeup by LH Bridal. Their rings came from Brilliant Earth and Blue Nile, adding another personal touch to the details we photographed throughout the day.
A Candlelit Armature Works Reception
Confetti Events helped bring the day together, while 2Birds Events created florals that complemented the soft, natural color palette. Rentals from Kate Ryan Event Rentals added to the reception design, but one of our favorite details was the abundance of candlelight throughout the space. As evening settled over Tampa, the candles completely transformed the reception, creating a warm and romantic atmosphere against the modern, industrial character of Armature Works.
After the ceremony, guests gathered for cocktail hour before the candlelit reception began. Delectables Fine Catering provided the catering and desserts, while Tampa DJ Company kept the celebration going into the night.
It was such a beautiful Tampa wedding for Lifelong Photography Studio to photograph. From Amanda and Tessa’s first look to their portraits around Armature Works and the glow of their candle-filled reception, the entire day felt warm, relaxed, and completely true to them.
