The Rusty Pelican - Giuliana & Zachary

When the Groom is a former member of the US Navy and the Bride grows up on the beach in Miami, you can bet that there will be lots of water involved with their wedding! Giuliana and Zachary are a super fun and special couple who Tied-the-Knot (literally!) on September 12, 2014 at the Rusty Pelican in Tampa, Florida. This magnificent day was a long time coming for these love birds who have been together since they first met at The University of Florida many years ago. It was a long road to I Do but on this special day they became husband and wife in front of their closest friends and family. We knew it would be a fun crowd when we saw a lot of the same guests from another wedding we shot a few months ago! This crazy bunch was so excited to be together again to celebrate another one of their friends becoming Husband + Wife. Thanks to Jim from Tagas Events, this group partied late into the night and the dance floor was always packed. Petals by Design provided the stunning ocean themed centerpieces and personal flowers and Hair on the Run had our Bride looking as beautiful as could be. It was a close call for the outdoor ceremony, led by Pastor Rick Thompson, but as the sprinkles rained down upon this beautiful Oceanside ceremony, a Rainbow appeared as a sign that this couple was truly meant to be. This beachside soiree was planned and organized by the always fun to work with Carlisha Magnarella of A Rose Designs. She worked with the couple from day one to bring their vision to life in a way that brought the Bride to tears when she saw the room. LoveStorey Photography and Sugar Pop Films were on hand all day to capture every beautiful moment of the wedding day and Snapshoot Photobooth let guests say Congratulations in a fun and silly way. The whole evening was rounded out by a delicious display of goodies and sweets provided by Frostings etc & Two Sweets Bake Shop. We want to thank all of the vendors who were such an important part of this couples special day. Thank you for helping us to tell Mr. + Mrs. McQuirt's LoveStorey.
