Nate is from Chicago, and Tara is from Gainesville, Florida. They met three years ago at a concert in St Petersburg’s Jannus Landing. Romance ensued, and when it came time for wedding plans, of course the St Petersburg, FL area was at the top of their list. In fact, Nate and Tara actually moved to St Petersburg just a few weeks before their wedding!Tara had planned on it being just the two of them at their wedding. But, amidst the hustle and bustle of buying and remodeling a home, Nate somehow managed to plan a big wedding surprise for Tara: About thirty of their close friends and family members were in attendance at their beach wedding, none of whom Tara expected!
Tara’s grandparents, parents, and siblings were there, and her father was able to give her away – what a pleasant surprise! Nate even had the foresight to let Tara in on the big secret a couple of hours before the wedding, so she could get out those tears of joy before putting on her makeup! Good thinking, Nate!

Tara and Nate were married on the aptly named Sunset Vista Beach in Treasure Island, Florida. And it certainly lived up to its name – Nate and Tara enjoyed one of the prettiest beach sunsets we’ve seen in a while. And of course it didn’t hurt that Tara and Nate looked stunning themselves!
After the wedding, their guests headed to the Compass Grille Restaurant at the Sirata Beach Resort while Tara and Nate took advantage of the amazing sunset for their wedding pictures.
Tara and Nate – Thank you so much for making Simple Weddings a part of your sunset beach wedding! Congratulations – we wish you all the best. And since we’re practically neighbors, please keep us in mind for all of your photography needs!
Sincerely,
Jeff & Claire Copeland
