Baylee + Joshua | Romantic Sacred Heart Tampa Wedding & Birchwood St. Pete Reception

There’s something truly magical about January weddings in Florida—the crisp air, golden sunlight and perfect excuse to incorporate timeless elegance into every detail. Baylee and Joshua’s wedding day was exactly that.
They said "I do" in one of Tampa’s most breathtaking churches, Sacred Heart Catholic Church, before celebrating in style at The Birchwood in St. Pete, a boutique hotel known for its charm and rooftop views. From heartfelt moments to an unforgettable dance floor, their day was filled with love, laughter and the kind of joy that makes weddings so special.
A Classic Ceremony at Sacred Heart Tampa
Located in the heart of downtown Tampa, Sacred Heart Catholic Church is nothing short of stunning. Its towering stained-glass windows and historic architecture made the perfect setting for Baylee and Joshua’s ceremony.
As the doors opened, Baylee made her way down the aisle in a classic, flowing gown, radiating pure happiness. Joshua’s reaction—equal parts awe and excitement—was one of those moments every couple dreams of. With their closest friends and family watching, they exchanged vows in a heartfelt ceremony that felt deeply personal and meaningful.

After the ceremony, the celebration moved across the bay to The Birchwood in downtown St. Petersburg. The reception space was beautifully decorated with soft florals, romantic candlelight, and timeless details that perfectly reflected Baylee and Joshua’s style.
Guests enjoyed delicious food, heartfelt toasts and a packed dance floor that kept the energy high all night.
