A Love Story That Began in College

Mariel and Christopher first met in 2016 at Lake Sumter Community College in a public speaking class. Their connection grew over shared adventures, home improvement projects, and their love for pickleball and fitness.

With Isla Del Sol as the venue, they chose a location close to home where they had already created so many cherished memories. From beautifully designed table decorations to breathtaking sunset views, every detail was thoughtfully planned.

One of the most cherished parts of the day? Seeing each other for the first time at the aisle, exchanging heartfelt vows, and celebrating with loved ones. Mariel and Christopher wanted their guests to feel loved, connected, and full of joy, and the atmosphere delivered just that.

Jemma Rose + Chase | Isla Del Sol Yacht & Country Club | St. Pete, FL

From the very beginning—starting with their engagement session—I just knew Jemma and Chase were something special. This couple radiates such effortless warmth and joy; it was truly an honor to capture both their love story and their wedding day alongside my talented second photographer, PJ.

Their wedding took place at the breathtaking Isla del Sol Yacht & Country Club, one of the most picturesque venues for wedding photography in St Pete, Florida. With its sweeping waterfront views and tropical vibes, it perfectly reflected the relaxed and natural energy Jemma and Chase envisioned.

Their love story began back in 2019 in Los Angeles, where Jemma was completing an internship and Chase was working. Years later, Chase popped the question in the sweetest way—right in their apartment in Gainesville, surrounded by bouquets and candles, creating an intimate and heartfelt proposal.

These two are the epitome of laid-back romance. They’re big foodies who love exploring new restaurants and sharing life’s little adventures together. They’re so easygoing, and the way they make each other feel seen and comfortable is honestly beautiful to witness.

Their St Pete wedding photography vision was all about a tropical, coastal atmosphere—relaxed yet refined. Jemma’s boho-inspired dress flowed in the beach breeze, while the bridesmaids looked stunning in ocean blue gowns that tied in perfectly with the waterfront backdrop. The ceremony was held outdoors beneath swaying palm trees, where they read their personal vows, exchanged tearful smiles, and had one of the most heartfelt "first looks" down the aisle I’ve ever seen.

The ceremony was, without a doubt, the highlight of the day. It was emotional, genuine, and filled with so much love. For the reception, the couple chose elegant tropical florals and beautifully curated table settings that felt personalized and timeless—not overly trendy, but meaningful and true to them. Their first dance was such a sweet moment, full of quiet connection and joyful celebration.

Throughout the day, we focused on capturing authentic, photojournalistic photography moments—lots of soft, natural light and romantic wedding candids that reflected their personalities. Jemma and Chase made our job easy by simply being themselves: joyful, loving, and fully present.

As a St. Pete photographer, this day was a dream to photograph. Everything about it—the setting, the details, the couple—came together in the most magical way. Jemma and Chase, thank you for trusting us with your memories. Your wedding was a true celebration of love, connection, and everything that makes your relationship so uniquely yours.

Wishing you both a lifetime filled with good food, spontaneous adventures, and endless laughter.

-With love, Dafne
