Jessica + Jakob Step Into The Limelight | The Birchwood | St. Petersburg, FL

Talk about a love story! These two met 12 years ago in High School PE class and began their relationship as friends. Eventually that progressed and now they are married twelve years to the day that they started dating! Jessica and Jakob are the ying to each other’s yang. They complete each other and that becomes very evident as you get to know them. They balance each other perfectly, have a lot in common, and are truly themselves around one another. They enjoy traveling, camping, and adventure. I see a lot of adventure and fun in their future. I had a blast being a part of their big day and helping their vision come true in their photos. I wish you the best, Jessica and Jakob!

Luegenia + Arnolson Step Into The Limelight | Kapok Special Events | Clearwater, FL

Luegenia and Arnolson are the embodiment of soulmates. They seemed to know what the other was thinking before they were thinking it and personally, I think that bodes very well for this marriage. They are like the missing piece to their partner’s puzzle! They put each other first always, and wanted nothing more than to live in the moment during their beautiful wedding day at Kapok Special Events. The ceremony was stunning, the reception was a wonderful party, and their night session was beautiful. I am so happy that I was able to capture this amazing day for two amazing people.

Stephanie + Ross Step Into The Limelight | Sirata Beach Resort | St. Petersburg Beach, FL

Stephanie and Ross booked a beach wedding in March so as to avoid weather issues but Mother Nature had other ideas. Rain for the first half of the day, wind for the entire day. Stephanie and Ross took it in stride and the weather ended up cooperating and creating a stunning sunset for them! These two kept smiles on their faces the entire day and you could really tell that all they cared about was that each other (and their loved ones) were having a blast. They did. 

The reception was a celebration for the ages! Dancing, fun, and love were in the air throughout the whole night. I can not express how much I enjoyed getting to be a part of Stephanie and Ross’ big day. I wish these two nothing but the best!

Meet Barbie & Ken…

…I mean Melissa & Dave 🥰

Ohh these two… they are the nicest, warmest, sweetest, most good looking people you’ll meet!

Melissa & Dave enjoy traveling, drinking wine, going to arcades and playing games… they also LOVE so beautifully.

We simply love seeing couples who just let go and SHINE together with passion and thoughtfulness for everyone around. We also love when people truly enjoy each moment, making sure to include what is most important… “family”. That is what sums up Melissa & Dave’s wedding day! It was all classic, emotional, thoughtful and so much fun!

Sophia + Anthony Step Into The Limelight | Museum of Fine Arts St. Pete | St. Petersburg, FL

Sophia & Anthony’s ♥️ story…

How/when did you meet each other: We met each other at work (oops haha). It was both our first jobs out of college and Anthony noticed Sophia right away. 

How did he propose: Our first vacation together was in Chicago. About 2 years later, we back to Chicago to visit my sister who is living there at the time. I thought it was just a quick weekend to see her, but little did I know he had flown in my parents AND his family, and surprised me on the rooftop of a glamorous hotel downtown. I was soo shocked! We spent the rest of the weekend celebrating all together. It was the best day of my life (so far ;) ). 

What do you love about each other: Sophia loves how fun-loving and ambitious Anthony is. He is the hardest worker I have ever met. He is the positive one out of the two of us and always brings the sunshine. 

Anthony loves Sophia's brain most of all; she is intelligent and quick-witted and always keeps him on his toes.

Interests/hobbies you enjoy doing together: We can have fun doing just about anything as long as we're together! But we are big restaurant-goers and love meeting friends for drinks. Concerts are a common occurrence for us too. We have been traveling a ton recently, but also love a quiet night at home with our puppy watching a movie. We are BIG football fans! 

Sophia & Anthony’s was classy, elegant and so much fun! We loved being able to witness Sophia & Anthony surrounded by their families, so beautiful to see families celebrating together nowadays… we loved that they chose Museum of Fine Arts St. Pete, it showcased so much culture and class, the entire day felt timeless.

We wish Sophia & Anthony many many more magical days together ✨
