NOVA 535 Wedding Photographer: Rachel and Frank's Wedding Day


Rachel and Frank's wedding at NOVA 535 brought together everything that makes this downtown St. Petersburg venue so special, lush bamboo gardens, exposed brick, and a reception space full of energy all night long.


A Bamboo Garden Ceremony at NOVA 535


Rachel and Frank said their vows in NOVA 535's signature bamboo garden, a hidden gem tucked away in the heart of downtown St. Pete. The tall bamboo created a natural, private setting unlike anything else in the city, giving the ceremony a lush, garden party feel while still being right in the middle of downtown.


Wedding Party Portraits at NOVA 535


After the ceremony, we made our way through NOVA 535's grounds for portraits with the wedding party, using the bamboo, brick walls, and downtown St. Pete streets as backdrops. The mix of natural greenery and urban texture gave us a ton of variety for the couple's photos.


An Industrial Chic Reception at NOVA 535


The reception moved into NOVA 535's exposed brick event space, strung with string lights and full of energy from the very first dance. Between the toasts, the dancing, and the late night celebration, this reception had exactly the kind of lively, industrial chic feel NOVA 535 is known for.
