Cruising Into Forever | Lexi + Dylan’s Yacht Starship Wedding

Lexi and Dylan’s Clearwater wedding was the kind of day that keeps you smiling from start to finish—and honestly, we wouldn’t expect anything less from a couple whose love story began as an April Fool’s “joke.”

Yes, really. Dylan downloaded Bumble at work just to entertain his coworkers… and ended up meeting his future wife. One match, one conversation, and that was it. Safe to say, that joke aged incredibly well.

Fast forward to their wedding day, and the energy was just as fun, effortless, and full of personality as their story.

Before stepping aboard the Yacht Starship, Lexi and Dylan shared a quiet first look at their hotel. It was one of those rare moments where everything slows down in the best way. The nerves faded, the smiles came naturally, and Dylan’s signature goofy charm showed up right on cue—just as Lexi said it would. From that first glance, it was clear: these two bring out something special in each other.

Then it was time to take the celebration to the water.

Their Yacht Starship wedding captured everything we love about Clearwater—coastal breezes, glowing views, and an atmosphere that felt equal parts romantic and wildly fun. Surrounded by friends, family, and the open Gulf, Lexi and Dylan said their vows in a setting that felt completely true to who they are: relaxed, joyful, and full of life.

And in a move that perfectly matched their energy, they sealed their marriage with a shared shot. Iconic, unforgettable, and completely them.

As the sun dipped lower and the city lights began to glow, the celebration kicked into full gear. What followed was nothing short of the party of the century. The dance floor stayed packed, laughter echoed across the deck, and every moment felt alive with energy. Whether they were dancing, mingling, or stealing a quick moment together, Lexi and Dylan made the entire evening feel like one big, joyful celebration—not just of their wedding, but of their life together.

Throughout it all, their connection was undeniable. Dylan kept everyone laughing, while Lexi lit up every space she stepped into. Together, they created an atmosphere that was warm, vibrant, and completely unforgettable.

From a mountain-view proposal in Tennessee to a wedding day cruising along Clearwater’s coastline, their story is filled with adventure, laughter, and a shared love for the things that make life fun—good food, great drinks, fishing trips, and gaming nights. They’re the kind of couple who not only enjoy life to the fullest but bring everyone around them along for the ride.

Lexi and Dylan, your wedding day was unforgettable in all the best ways. We’re so honored we got to capture every laugh, every happy tear, and every celebratory shot.

Erica + Jencen Step Into The Limelight | Hilton Clearwater, FL

Years in the Making | Erica & Jencen’s Hilton Clearwater Beach Wedding

Erica and Jencen’s story does not begin on a wedding day, but years earlier with a simple swipe on Tinder in 2017 while they were both in undergrad. What followed was not immediate or loud, but steady in the way the best things often are. Life moved around them, school schedules shifted, distance came and went, and through it all they kept finding their way back to each other.

Over time, their relationship took shape in the everyday things. Traveling together became second nature. So did the small rituals in between trips, like finding new restaurants, discovering cafés in unfamiliar cities, and settling into quiet nights with board games. Those moments built a rhythm that felt easy, familiar, and deeply their own.

In May 2024, Jencen proposed on their favorite beach in Asbury Park on their anniversary. It was a place already woven into their history, which made the moment feel both natural and meaningful. Right after, the celebration continued in an unexpected way with a surprise engagement gathering at The Main Stay, where their closest family and friends were waiting. The moment expanded quickly, moving from private to shared without losing its intimacy.

Not long after, Erica created her own proposal in June during Asbury Park Pride. She planned a scavenger hunt that led through meaningful stops, ending at a decorated hotel room at the Asbury Ocean Club overlooking the beach. It was playful and thoughtful, layered with intention and personality. Two proposals within weeks of each other, each one distinct, both reflecting the same shared foundation of love and partnership.

What stands out most about Erica and Jencen is the way they speak about each other. Erica admires Jencen’s self-awareness, the way she reflects on herself with honesty and intention, always striving to grow in how she shows up for the people around her. Jencen carries a deep and steady kind of care, especially for her family, always thinking about how to support, protect, and love them well, no matter the distance.

Over the years, Clearwater and the surrounding St. Pete area in Florida became more than just a destination. It became a place they returned to again and again, sometimes just the two of them, sometimes with friends and family. The Hilton Clearwater Beach Resort & Spa became part of that rhythm, a familiar home base tied to so many shared memories. Even when they were not staying there, Tommy’s Tiki Bar became part of the experience, connected to the ease and comfort they felt in the area.

Choosing to get married there felt less like a decision and more like a continuation of something already in motion.

Hilton Clearwater Beach Resort & Spa

The wedding weekend unfolded with a sense of familiarity and intention that matched the place itself. Guests arrived into a setting that already held meaning for Erica and Jencen, stepping into a location that had long been part of their story. The design was intentionally understated, built around an elegant beach aesthetic with soft blues, natural textures, and a coastal ease that never felt forced.

The weekend felt less like a single event and more like something unfolding in layers, each moment flowing into the next without ever feeling rushed or contained. Guests arrived into a space that already meant something, and from there everything just seemed to move at its own pace, shaped by the people, the setting, and the ease of being together.

The ceremony took place barefoot on the sand, simple and grounded, with the ocean just beyond them. There was a quiet ease to the moment, a sense of presence that did not need anything more than what was already there. Surrounded by their closest family and friends, it felt personal in the most honest way.

The celebration continued on the Sandpiper Terrace, an open-air reception space overlooking the beach and water. As the evening unfolded, the environment stayed central to everything, with the ocean breeze and fading light shaping the atmosphere as much as any detail or design element.

Thoughtful touches were woven throughout the day. A welcoming sign set the tone for the weekend. Sea glass place settings tied the design back to the coast in a subtle way. Signature drink signage added personality without taking away from the natural setting. Everything felt intentional but never overdone.

Still, what stayed with them most was not the design or the details. It was the feeling of being surrounded by their people in a place that already held meaning, celebrating something they had been building toward for years.

Some of the most memorable moments came in the quieter in-betweens. Sunset portraits between palm trees. The stillness after the ceremony when everything had just shifted. And later, a dance floor filled with family and friends, where the entire weekend came together in movement, laughter, and music.

The weekend felt less like a single event and more like a shared experience stretched across days. Guests staying at the resort, gathering throughout the property, moving between beach and celebration spaces, all part of the same rhythm.

If there was a single feeling that carried through everything, it was gratitude. For the people who showed up. For the place that already meant so much. And for the chance to bring it all together in one shared moment.

And as the night came to a close, the celebration ended exactly where it belonged. On the beach, with a sparkler exit under the night sky, the ocean behind them, and their closest people gathered around them as they stepped into what comes next.

An Elegant Beach Wedding for a Love That Feels Like Home 

There are love stories that take years to unfold… and then there are the ones that start exactly where all great decisions begin — at a bar with friends, a little noise, a little chaos, and absolutely no expectations.

August 18, 2018. A normal night at Romigs… until it wasn’t.

He and his friends sat down next to her and her friends, and somewhere between casual conversation, laughter, and probably a “just one more drink,” something clicked. You know that kind of conversation that flows so easily you forget to check your phone? That was it. And before the night ended, he asked for her number  a simple moment that quietly changed everything.

Fast forward to a proposal that feels like it belongs in a movie. A luau, surrounded by family, in Lahaina, Maui. The kind of setting where the air feels softer, time slows down, and suddenly one question becomes the easiest “yes” in the world.

What makes them work isn’t just chemistry it’s alignment. The kind that’s rare. They genuinely like each other. They agree on what matters. Their values match, their priorities are clear, and no matter what, they choose each other first. Always. And honestly, in a world that loves complications, there’s something incredibly beautiful about a love that just… fits.

Their life together is full of the good stuff boating days under the sun, vacations that turn into memories you wish you could replay, nights back at Romigs (because of course they still go back to where it all began), and those simple, cozy moments at home watching shows and doing absolutely nothing… together.

And that same energy carried into their wedding day.

Nothing overcomplicated. Nothing forced. Just simple, elegant, and deeply intentional. Black and white, clean and timeless because when the love is this strong, you don’t need distractions. The beach wasn’t just a backdrop, it was part of their story. A place that reflects who they are: calm, beautiful, and effortlessly meaningful. But what truly made this wedding unforgettable wasn’t just the setting it was the feeling.

This wasn’t a one-day celebration. It was a full weekend surrounded by the people who matter most. The kind of gathering where laughter starts early and doesn’t really stop, where every moment feels like a continuation of the last, and where love isn’t just between two people it’s everywhere.

One of the most emotional moments? The walk down the aisle with her dad. The kind of moment that doesn’t need words because everyone already understands what it means. You could feel it. That connection, that closeness it filled the entire space.

And then, of course, the dance floor.

Because if you know them, you know this wasn’t going to be a quiet reception. This was the kind of party where shoes are optional, laughter is loud, and no one checks the time. Just pure joy, music, and the kind of celebration that people talk about long after it’s over.

Ironically, for a couple who doesn’t love being the center of attention, one of the most memorable moments will probably be walking back down the aisle together that little breath of relief, that shared look of “we did it,” and the quiet happiness that follows after all eyes finally move away.

If you had to sum up how they wanted everyone to feel in just a few words? Relaxed. Special. Joyful. Excited. And they absolutely nailed it.

As a photographer, I’ve witnessed many beautiful weddings but some stay with you in a different way. This was one of them. There was something so genuine, so warm, so full of life about their energy that it didn’t feel like work for a second. I felt honored to be there, to document it, to be trusted with something so meaningful. It felt less like being hired… and more like being invited into something truly special.

Their love is not loud in a showy way it’s steady, real, and deeply rooted. The kind of love that doesn’t need to prove anything, because you can feel it in every glance, every laugh, every quiet moment in between. And honestly? That’s the best kind of love story there is.
