A Timeless Celebration Overlooking the Riverwalk
From the very first time I spoke with Rebecca and Adam, I could tell that their love story was rooted in a beautiful friendship. As the lead photographer for Limelight Photography, it was truly an honor to document their wedding day at the stunning Tampa Club, where every detail reflected their journey together.
Rebecca and Adam first met in the fall of 2015, hired fresh out of college at the same law firm. Their bond grew naturally through shared walks on Tampa’s Riverwalk — first as acquaintances, then as close friends. It was only fitting that years later, Adam proposed in that very spot, during a bike ride at sunset, overlooking the glistening bay. That same view would become the backdrop for their wedding — a heartfelt nod to their beginning.
Their wedding, rescheduled from October 2024 due to a hurricane, was well worth the wait. The Tampa Club offered the perfect vantage point: an elegant setting overlooking the city they fell in love in. The style of the day was classic, elegant, and modern — a reflection of Rebecca’s timeless taste. Her dress was a showstopper, and the blue and white florals throughout the venue added a soft and romantic touch. Their custom DIY flower arch was simple yet striking — the perfect frame for their heartfelt vows, which they wrote themselves.
From a photographer’s perspective, moments like these are everything. Their First Look was incredibly touching — filled with quiet emotion, joyful tears, and authentic connection. I leaned into a photojournalistic photography approach to truly capture the essence of these moments: the laughter between them, the tight hand squeezes, the way Adam looked at Rebecca when she wasn’t looking.
The reception was a vibrant celebration, made extra special by heartfelt toasts from friends and family — especially Krista, the maid of honor, who played a pivotal role in bringing them together. The couple’s shared love of reading, cooking, and movie nights was woven into the atmosphere, but most importantly, you could feel their joy — and that of their guests — radiating throughout the night.
What made this wedding so unique to Rebecca and Adam was how personal it was. The view, the love story, the laughter — all of it belonged to them. Capturing wedding candids throughout the evening reminded me why I love wedding photography in Tampa Florida. There's something extraordinary about documenting real love stories in the city where they began.
