Little Elopement

Marcella and William wanted to elope and booked their Elopement Package through Intimate Weddings of Tampa.  They chose Upham Beach as the location for their intimate ceremony in early November.

Upham Beach, located at the very North end of St. Pete Beach, provides a reprieve from the tall hotels and condominiums that line the shore of St. Pete Beach.  The beach has four wooden dune walkovers that lead to a very wide, white sandy beach. A short walk north takes you to Blind Pass, which has a rock jetty, which is a fantastic place to watch the sunset, and on frequent occasions, dolphins playing at the entrance to Blind Pass. 

The couple’s custom ceremony included the Blessing of the Hands.  Then, in front of an intimate gathering of their family, and with the sun setting over the Gulf of Mexico as their backdrop, they shared their wedding vows, exchanged rings and were pronounced husband and wife by Rev Rick Lackore of Sensational Ceremonies.  

Florals were provided by Iza’s Flowers.  Special thanks to Tammy, with True Love Photography, for providing this beautiful picture during their ceremony.         

Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. William Grymes!
