Tampa Hyde Park Anniversary Session

It’s always an honor when another photographer whose work you really admire asks you to take her photos! Brittany Pannebaker is a Tampa Bay wedding and family photographer, she wanted to celebrate her third wedding anniversary by having photos taken in Tampa! We actually had a double date with them before the session in Hyde Park Village at Bartaco… one of my favorite restaurants in Tampa! If you have never been to Hyde Park in Tampa, you NEED to make a trip! It is a beautiful shopping & restaurant area near downtown Tampa and also has some of the prettiest WALLS for photo backdrops! There’s just something about a plain white brick wall that people flock to for photos, and so of course we started there! We were right by a Sprinkles Cupcakes and a sweet older gentleman came up to us and wanted to hop in a photo (see below)! He was with his daughter and she even found me on Instagram and messaged me later that night how he had been married for 54 years to her mother and they loved watching this young couple in love and wished them a happy marriage… definitely the highlight of the night! Well second to seeing about 100 dogs (Michael and I are huge dog lovers haha)! At the end of the session, B & M were going to do a champagne toast. Michael was about to pop the bottle and all of a sudden it exploded all on its own and scared us all half to death. I’m assuming it was because it was 95 degrees! It still made for some funny photos though 🙂

Congratulations on three years of marriage, Pannebakers! <3
