As a part of our efforts to help shelter animals find their home & bring pawsitivty to the wedding community, we teamed up with the Humane Society of Tampa Bay to help a dog in need find their home.

We arrived at the shelter to break Oakley, the rescue pup, out of his cage.
He was so excited for an adventure!
We brought him to the Hotel Zamora where a group of fellow wedding vendors had organized a styled wedding photo shoot. We knew this would be a great opportunity for Oakley to be exposed to new environments & people. Socialization for any shelter dog is incredibly important, especially if you can start at a young age.
It was also a fun chance to get a few professional photos of Oakley to promote his adoption. The wedding vendors are also able to use these photos to showcase to their couples that they are pet friendly. Of course, the photos came out ADORABLE!

It turns out it was truly Oakley’s lucky day because one of the wedding coordinators with Blue Skies Weddings & Events fell in love with the sweet boy & just knew he would be a perfect addition to their family!
They made things official the next day at the shelter & now Oakley (they kept his name) is living his best life in a loving home!
Congrats to Oakley & his humans!
We are so happy we could help you find each other!

Anything you'd like to share about your experience working with a pet in a wedding?
Having pets at weddings makes the day so much more fun! The Fairytail weddings team also makes it easy :)
Tell us a little bit about your pet(s)!
Buffy has two quirky Boston Terriers, Lucy and Lenny. Gabrielle has a little rescue named Charlotte and she is the studio princess. Jorge has the chillest cat named Fey. And Emily has several adorable kitties that she loves more than anything, including their youngest rescue kitty who only has 3 legs!
Why do you love when couples choose to incorporate their pets in their wedding day?
Our fur babies are part of the family! It’s important to bring things that are important to you into an important day :) It makes the experience for guest more personal since they are getting a peek into the couple's lives at pet parents. Plus! Pups love you no matter what is happening! On a stressful wedding day it can be a great comfort!
What areas do you service?
All of the Tampa Bay Area is our usual stomping grounds but we have done work all over the globe :)

While the rest of the crew was out making tails wag and hearts melt, Tiny, the cat, went on a very important mission: to scout out one of St. Louis’s most elegant and pet-friendly wedding venues, Hotel St. Louis.
