Lynn + Bruce Step Into The Limelight | Wyndham Grand Clearwater Beach | Clearwater, FL

Lynn & Bruce - A Love That Speaks Through a Gaze

I may not know how Lynn and Bruce met, or the full story that brought them to this day but what I do know is that I witnessed one of the most incredible chapters of their journey: their wedding day.

From behind my lens, I saw something rare. Their gaze alone told a story richer than any words could express. In fact, it felt like words weren’t even necessary. Every time Lynn and Bruce looked at each other, there was something magnetic, something timeless happening between them.

Throughout the entire celebration, they were locked in eye contact completely present, completely in love. There were no forced poses, no fake laughter, and no staged kisses. Everything was real. Everything was pure. Everything felt magical when they were together.

As a photographer, I’m always honored to witness love. But this was something else. Their connection moved me in ways I didn’t expect. I found myself emotional more than once. They reminded me that love has no age limit that joy, passion, and connection are available to us if we simply allow ourselves to live fully and love deeply.

Lynn and Bruce, thank you for letting me be part of such a beautiful and meaningful day. Thank you for teaching me without even saying a word that happiness is found in the simplest moments.

I wish you a life filled with laughter, love, and adventure. May you travel far and wide and savor all the best this world has to offer. Congratulations from the bottom of my heart.

Alexis + Garrett Step Into The Limelight | Sunken Gardens | St. Petersburg, FL

From the moment I arrived at Sunken Gardens for Alexis and Garrett's wedding, I knew their day would be nothing short of magical. The lush greenery, blooming florals, and serene pathways provided the perfect backdrop for their romantic garden-inspired celebration. As a St. Pete photographer, capturing weddings in beautiful spaces like this is always a dream come true.

Alexis and Garrett's love story began years ago at a high school leadership conference, and their journey has been filled with adventure ever since. When Garrett proposed on top of a historic fort in the Dry Tortugas after a breathtaking seaplane ride, it was clear their love was destined for incredible heights.

On their wedding day, Alexis and Garrett's vision of a Garden Romantic, coastal, and classy theme came to life. Inspired by their love for nature and the coast, their color palette of light blues and whites perfectly complemented the garden setting. The ceremony felt deeply personal, with close friends playing significant roles. One friend officiated, while others read meaningful Bible verses and offered heartfelt prayers. These thoughtful touches made the ceremony feel intimate and warm.

The moment that truly tugged at my heart was Alexis and Garrett's first look at the altar. As Alexis walked down the aisle, Garrett's face lit up with pure joy and emotion. It's moments like these that make wedding photography in St. Pete, Florida so rewarding—capturing raw, authentic emotions that couples will treasure forever.

The reception was an absolute highlight of the evening. Guests laughed, mingled, and celebrated while surrounded by coastal-inspired decor and charming personal details. Each table displayed photos of the couple throughout their relationship, while signature cocktails added a fun, personalized touch. Alexis's DIY signs added warmth and sentimentality, including a touching tribute table titled "The Loves That Came Before Us," featuring wedding photos from past generations. These thoughtful details made the entire evening feel incredibly special.

The toasts from friends and family were filled with love, humor, and heartfelt memories, perfectly reflecting Alexis and Garrett's fun-loving and adventurous personalities. I couldn’t help but smile behind my camera, knowing these were the unforgettable moments they'd look back on with joy.

Alexis and Garrett’s wedding was a true testament to love, family, and the beauty of shared experiences. From their heartfelt vows to the joyful celebration with loved ones, every moment felt meaningful and special. As a photographer specializing in photojournalistic photography, capturing their story in candid, authentic moments was an absolute honor.
