Laila + Jack Step Into The Limelight | HOTEL ZAMORA | ST. PETERSBURG BEACH, FL

Overcast weather, ocean breeze, and sandy toes.

Despite the prediction of rain coming out of nowhere, the weather held up for Laila + Jack’s engagement session on St. Pete Beach! With a perfect golden hour, we got so many photos of this beautiful couple. Though the sunset didn’t truly come through because of darker storm clouds in the distance, we got a neat moody sky and all the blue tones (which fits their wedding color scheme!).

Laila and Jack celebrated their engagement session with an (unexpected) pop of champagne, lots of smiles + kisses, and some dancing! There will be more of this come September.

Our team can’t wait to photograph their wedding day at Isla Del Sol later this year.

Angie + Garrett Step Into The Limelight | Hotel Zamora | St. Petersburg, FL

Tropical, classy & sweet.

These two met in 2018 through a mutual friend, 4 years later Garrett proposed, and now in March 2023 we got to witness them tie the knot in front of their family + bridal party!

Angie and Garrett’s wedding day was full of joy. There was A LOT of great dancing, a soft sunset, and it was overall a great night. Angie and Garrett compliment each other so well and you can tell that not only were the two of them thrilled to get married, but their families were also.

Congrats to Angie and Garrett—may you continue growing in love together forever! We’re so happy for you two!

Cassidy + David Step Into The Limelight | Hotel Zamora | SAINT PETERSBURG, FL

The sweetest couple… Cassidy & David 🥰
They met in Spanish Class in High School back in 2014 and have been loving life together ever since.
Cassidy loves David’s good heart and how he makes her laugh… Davis loves Cassidy’s kindness, thoughtfulness and how she loves and cares for him.
They both enjoy playing video games, walking around Downtown Tampa and are both huge Star Wars fans.
Cassidy & David’s wedding day was classic and elegant with many beautiful DIY projects, including their oversized square, white, picture frame wedding arch… absolutely stunning and elegantly modern. They also created their center pieces which was the perfect touch for a glam vibe during their reception. Their guests enjoyed a gorgeous night at Hotel Zamora’s rooftop, they danced the night away and we could feel their LOVE for Cassidy & David.
We wish Cassidy & David a lifetime of happiness and so much joy together. Cheers to a beautiful couple 🥂

Danielle + Ryan Step Into The Limelight | Hotel Zamora | St. Petersburg, FL

Ohh how we just LOVED meeting Danielle & Ryan… I mean look at them!
I just loved how genuine and sweet they both are. They giggled the entire session and we are here for it!
We met at Hotel Zamora for their engagement session and made our way over to the beach for some sunset photos… we laughed, talked about hockey… laughed some more, popped champagne and enjoyed the St. Petersburg sunset together… I am telling you, engagement sessions are the best way to get the “photo jitters” out and get to know your photographer. It’s always a good time and great practice for the wedding day. Oh and just FYI Danielle & Ryan will be getting married at BellaCosa Lakeside Lodge & Venue (take a peek at this gorgeous venue y’all) and we cannot wait for it all… the venue, the details, the families, the moments… it will be a beautiful day!

Cheers to Danielle & Ryan!
