Capturing Chills and Thrills: NACE Network Event "What Scares You" at Yacht StarShip

Lights, camera, spooky action! Limelight Photography recently had the thrilling opportunity to photograph the "What Scares You" network event hosted by the National Association for Catering and Events (NACE) at the iconic Yacht StarShip in Tampa, Florida. With a spine-tingling theme and a competitive best costume contest, this evening was nothing short of a hauntingly good time.

Yacht StarShip, known for its luxurious cruises along Tampa Bay, transformed into a haunted vessel for the evening. As guests boarded the ship, they were greeted by eerie décor, dimly lit lanterns, and an air of anticipation for a night filled with surprises and fun.

Limelight Photography had the privilege of capturing the eerie elegance of the evening. We were there to document all the highlights, from the creative costumes, genuine smiles and connections formed during the event. With a commitment to storytelling through images, we ensured that every memorable moment was beautifully preserved for attendees to look back on.

NACE Planner Palooza | Honeymoon Island State Park | Pinellas County, FL

Limelight Photography was honored to be a sponsor for the Planner Palooza with NACE (National Association for Catering & Events.) Located on Honeymoon Island, this event was absolutely gorgeous! Each table was uniquely and beautifully decorated by each vendor. 🤩 We enjoyed seeing everyone’s creative ideas come to life through these stunning tables.  From the retro van photo booth to the cutest flower cart, there were so many amazing vendors at this networking event!  There was even a live painter who painted the gorgeous sun setting over the Gulf of Mexico. 🎨🌅 We were honored to have been a part of this event and we loved capturing it all! 💛
