Hotel Haya: Tampa Florida Hotel & Wedding Venue

Looking for a unique location for your engagement photos? Consider a boutique hotel’s cocktail bar for some upscale editorial photos. This Tampa FL cocktail bar engagement photoshoot took place at Hotel Haya in Ybor City. As a Tampa, FL wedding photographer, I was thrilled to shoot Sierra and Torey’s engagement session here. They wanted an upscale, editorial-style engagement photoshoot, and this Tampa bar was the perfect spot for their vision.

The hotel’s intimate and stylish cocktail bar provided the ideal backdrop for their sophisticated and chic engagement photos. The rich decor, ambient lighting, and cozy atmosphere perfectly complemented Sierra and Torey’s elegant outfits and overall aesthetic. The hotel bar and staff were incredibly welcoming and kind, allowing us to utilize various areas of the bar. They even suggested creative spots for unique shots. Their cooperation and hospitality made the experience enjoyable and stress-free, helping us capture beautiful, memorable moments.

Stylish Outfits for a Classy Look

For their Tampa FL cocktail bar engagement photos, Sierra and Torey chose stunning outfits that perfectly matched the upscale vibe of the venue. The bride styled a long silk white dress for her first look, while the groom paired a casually partially unbuttoned white shirt with a suit jacket. Such a classy, stunning look!

To add variety to their engagement photoshoot, Sierra changed into a cocktail-length tulle dress for their second look. We took advantage of the hotel’s unique features, shooting in the elevator and on the luggage carts, creating playful and memorable moments.

This Tampa FL cocktail bar engagement photoshoot at Hotel Haya provided the perfect setting for Sierra and Torey’s stylish and editorial engagement session. The combination of elegant attire, a unique venue, and welcoming staff made for an unforgettable experience.
