Machi + Seth’s St. Petersburg Museum of Fine Arts wedding was all smiles and flowers. What more could a wedding photographer ask for?
I’ve gotta say–Machi and Seth really pulled through with this beautiful wedding at the St. Petersburg Museum of Fine Arts. They had planned a big wedding celebration at the museum, but the pandemic turned their plans upside down.
Not only that, but they were also planning to move to Seattle in just a few months. So if their wedding was postponed for too long, they’d have to fly all the way to Florida for an out-of-state wedding. Or plan a whole new wedding on the West Coast.
They had a tough decision to make, but I think Machi and Seth made THE best choice.
They kept their wedding at the St. Petersburg Museum of Fine Arts, invested in a killer floral budget, and subbed their big wedding-day bash for an intimate elopement. They ended the morning with family breakfast and video-calls to Machi’s family abroad.
And. It. Was. Magical.
Machi and Seth are one of those couples whose happiness rubs off on everybody around them. You can tell they adore each other from everything they do. Seriously, scroll down and just LOOK at how happy they were reading their vows to each other!
As if they weren’t already going to have insanely cute wedding photos, they also brought their dog to the wedding. It really doesn’t get any better than that!
Couples like Machi and Seth are the reason I do what I do. I live to capture those special, genuine moments: the laughter, the vows, the happy tears, the first looks and first kisses.
Machi and Seth’s intimate, floral-filled St. Petersburg Museum of Fine Arts wedding is proof that when two people love each other, they’re unstoppable.
