Sammi + Mihai Step Into The Limelight | Isla Del Sol Yacht & Country Club | St. Petersburg, FL

In the bustling heart of downtown Ft. Lauderdale, on a soaking wet Halloween night, fate intervened as Sammi (AKA Waldo) crossed paths with Mihai (AKA the Geico Gecko). A chance encounter, a shot bought, and from that moment, their love story began.

Fast forward to a picturesque proposal on the Tampa Riverwalk. Mihai's heartfelt speech echoed the depth of their bond, culminating in Sammi's resounding "yes" against the backdrop of a sunset-kissed skyline.

Their shared love for exploration and culinary adventures shaped their wedding vision. Isla Del Sol, with its private beach and sweeping waterfront views, embodied their desire for intimacy and celebration. Shades of blue, abundant candles, and fragrant blooms set the stage for a romantic affair with a modern twist.

But what truly makes their day unique is the infusion of their personalities and heritage. Sammi's Italian roots shine through with a specialty coffee cart, ensuring guests enjoy a taste of her culture. Meanwhile, the indoor/outdoor venue provides a canvas for their loved ones to experience the beauty of Florida firsthand—since some guests did travel from out of state to witness Sammi + Mihai tie the knot!

As the day unfolded, anticipation mounts for the first look, heartfelt vows, and a night of dancing with cherished friends and family. From the Jewish traditions woven into the ceremony to everyone dancing to the reception music, every moment promises to be unforgettable and full of energy.

For Sammi and Mihai, their wedding isn't just a celebration of love, it's a reflection of their shared journey and the joy found in each other's company. With excitement and happiness as their guiding sentiments, their union was nothing short of magical.

Katie + Cody Step Into The Limelight | Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach | Clearwater, FL

Katie and Cody celebrated their one-year anniversary as girlfriend and boyfriend with a portrait session at Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach. Despite the challenging weather forecast, with alerts and winds up to 45 MPH, and a 100% chance of rain, this couple was determined to capture their special moments. It was the only day they were available, so I made some quick calls to secure an indoor location. Lindsey at the Hyatt came through, and the rain miraculously stopped, allowing us to venture onto the beach.

The weather lent a dramatic backdrop with gray skies and rough seas, perfectly complementing the moody atmosphere we aimed for. We took advantage of the mix of natural light and muted colors to create stunning images. Moving indoors, we utilized the Belleair Room, capturing elegant portraits amidst the mirror and bubble chandeliers. The driftwood chandelier and grand staircase provided additional striking settings.

With a quick outfit change, we hurried back to the beach, just in time for post-sunset photos with hints of pink in the sky. We incorporated off-camera lighting for some dynamic shots. While many images were intentionally blurred to capture movement and spontaneity, the essence of the day was beautifully preserved.

For couples seeking timeless portraits amidst the charm of Clearwater Beach, Limelight Photography is here to make your vision a reality. Book your session today and let us capture your love story in unforgettable imagery. 📸💖
