Since the creation of Marry Me Tampa Bay in 2012, the online wedding publication has featured hundreds real weddings from the Tampa Bay, Sarasota and Lakeland areas.

Engaged couples can communicate with Anna through the Marry Me Tampa Bay Facebook group, where she shares her extensive knowledge of the local wedding community.
When she's not browsing through weddings, you can find Anna strolling on the Riverwalk in Downtown Tampa, working out at the Bar Method, watching the Bravo channel or noshing at a local eatery. Anna is avid traveler and has visited over 15 countries.
With over 14 years of marketing experience, including leading a marketing team for a Fortune 500 company, Anna provides SEO, blogging and marketing advice for wedding businesses through her consulting business, Married to Marketing.
