Downtown Tampa Wedding // Mr. & Mrs. Sutherland
Leah and Patrick’s Downtown Tampa wedding at The Vault was nothing short of a showstopper. With a black-tie dress code and a speakeasy-meets-art-gallery vibe, every moment felt intentional and unforgettable. All guests arrived dressed head-to-toe in black, perfectly setting the tone for a dramatic and stylish evening. Upstairs in the iconic venue, Leah got ready with her bridesmaids, surrounded by soft laughter and the hum of anticipation. Just across the hall, Patrick suited up with his groomsmen—each detail coming together against the elegant backdrop of The Vault’s historic charm. Their intimate ceremony took place downstairs, where close family and friends gathered beneath tall ceilings and soft light. After saying “I do,” we ventured across the street to the Meridien Hotel to capture portraits at the entrance on the grand staircase , as well as inside the historic, marble interior, a perfect complement to their upscale aesthetic. Back at The Vault, the reception space transformed into a work of art: white floral arrangements adorned every table, gold-plated silverware glinted under moody lighting, and a glowing “Mr. & Mrs. Sutherland” neon sign lit up the head table. Their five-tier wedding cake, adorned with cascading white orchids, was a centerpiece in itself. The night kicked off with a grand entrance, emotional speeches, and a packed dance floor. Every part of the evening felt personal and refined, from their first dance to the last bite of cake. As the celebration came to a close, guests lined up outside, sparklers in hand, sending Leah and Patrick off into married life in a shower of golden light. Their Downtown Tampa wedding was a perfect blend of elegance and edge—timeless yet bold, classic yet completely their own. Congrats Mr. & Mrs. Sutherland!
