This guide shares my firsthand experiences (and a few hard-earned planning tips!) at six of my favorite Tampa Wedding Venues and Sarasota Wedding Venues. I’ll highlight beautiful photo moments, notes on light and timing, and why each spot is a standout for documentary and even Super 8 film style photography. Think of it as advice from a friend who’s been behind the camera, all to help you plan a wedding day that feels both effortless and unforgettable.

There’s something unmistakably timeless about a wedding filmed entirely on Kodak Super 8 film, especially when it takes place on the pristine shores of Longboat Key, Florida. Haylee and David’s wedding at the Longboat Key Club wasn’t just a celebration; it was a soulful coastal story told frame by frame in warm tones, soft grain, and unfiltered joy.

When I first met Jenny and Jake, it was beneath the skyline of Chicago. I’d flown up last year to capture their engagement session, running through city streets, chasing light and laughter, already knowing their wedding day would be something special. Fast forward to Clearwater Beach at the stunning JW Marriott and they brought that same energy, intimacy and boldness to the Florida coast. As a local Tampa wedding photographer for almost 8 years now, it’s couples like them who make storytelling feel effortless.

Tucked beneath the moss-draped oaks of Del Favero Oasis, Francesca & John exchanged vows in a moment that felt suspended in time, intimate, sun drenched, and effortlessly magical. With the genius touch of Melanie from Chantilly Chic Celebrations bringing every detail to life, their Tampa elopement was more than a wedding, it was a love story written in golden light, whispered breezes, and the soft hush of forever. If you’re dreaming of a day that feels like you, captured through timeless imagery by a Tampa Wedding Photographer who sees the soul in the story… this is the one.

Anisha and Phil’s Indian wedding at Paradise Springs Secret Garden in Lithia, FL, was a vibrant celebration captured with Tampa Wedding Super 8 coverage. As a dedicated Tampa Wedding Filmmaker, I documented each tradition—from the lively Baraat to heartfelt vows—on nostalgic film. The lush setting and mesmerizing rituals formed a timeless love story they’ll cherish forever.
