Faith + Christian Step Into The Limelight | The CURRENT Hotel | Tampa, FL

Faith & Christian’s Intimate Wedding at The CURRENT Hotel

As a Tampa Florida Photographer, I absolutely love capturing weddings that are all about meaningful connection, and Faith and Christian’s wedding at The CURRENT Hotel was exactly that — relaxed, personal, and full of heartfelt moments.

Faith and Christian’s love story began in Texas while they were both in college. Their shared passion for sports brought them together — first as student-athletes, now as coaches — and as loving parents to their adorable daughter, Mavrie. Watching the three of them interact throughout the day was so special. You could feel the strength of their bond and how much joy they bring each other.

Their vision was clear from the start: a small, intimate wedding with their closest friends and family. With soft, neutral tones and a classic yet casual vibe, every detail felt authentic to who they are. The ceremony took place with beautiful waterfront views, and the love in the air was undeniable. Faith’s nana created a custom bouquet cover, adding a sentimental touch to an already meaningful day.

Their day was peaceful and deeply rooted in love. As a storyteller who values photojournalistic photography, it was an honor to capture the small, candid in-between moments: Faith and Christian exchanging sweet smiles, Mavrie holding her parents’ hands, and guests soaking in the joy of the day.

As someone who specializes in wedding photography in Tampa Florida, I’m always reminded that the most beautiful weddings aren’t always the loudest — they’re the ones that feel most true to the couple. Faith and Christian’s day was a perfect example of that.

If you’re planning a wedding that’s simple, classic, and focused on genuine moments — we would be honored to document your love story with wedding photography Tampa Florida style.

Carly & Kacper Step Into The Limelight | JW Marriott Clearwater Beach Resort | Clearwater Beach, FL

A Joyful Beachside Celebration at JW Marriott Clearwater Beach Resort

From the very first moment of Carly and Kacper’s wedding day, I knew this celebration would be something truly special. The setting — the stunning JW Marriott Clearwater Beach Resort — offered the perfect blend of coastal elegance and laid-back charm. But what made the day unforgettable was the energy: relaxed, joy-filled, and so authentically “them.” With sunshine overhead, toes in the sand, and their favorite people by their side, Carly and Kacper’s wedding was a beautiful reflection of their love story — full of fun, heart, and a few epic surprises.

Carly and Kacper first met in the most charming way — at a dog park! Their connection grew through shared adventures, beach days, boating, surfing, fishing, and even dancing (not always gracefully) in the kitchen. Their love is lighthearted, genuine, and full of laughter — and when Kacper proposed on a sunset cruise aboard their boat in the Florida Keys, it sealed the deal for a lifetime of sunshine and sea breezes.

So, of course, a beachy boho wedding was the perfect fit. The ceremony took place on the sand, with the sound of waves rolling gently in the background. And in true Carly fashion, she wowed her guests with a surprise boat entrance, arriving with her father Ernie — a moment so unique and so “her,” it had everyone smiling (and me snapping away in awe).

The magic of wedding photography in Clearwater Beach Resort is how naturally the beauty of the day unfolds. From tearful “I do’s” to joyful cheers, every moment felt real and unscripted — a dream for someone who specializes in photojournalistic photography and capturing raw, beautiful wedding candids.

And just when we thought the evening couldn’t get more memorable, Carly’s dad Ernie took the stage during the reception, joining the band to sing and play guitar. The crowd went wild! It was such a touching, joyful highlight that spoke volumes about the love and connection this family shares.

From meaningful DIY touches like handwritten place cards to a packed dance floor buzzing with energy, every detail of Carly and Kacper’s day reflected their playful, laid-back spirit. They wanted their guests to feel happy, stress-free, and completely in the moment — and they absolutely succeeded.

Carly and Kacper, thank you for trusting me and the Limelight team to capture this amazing chapter of your story. Your love, your people, and your celebration were an absolute joy to photograph.

Blair + Steven Step Into The Limelight | DoubleTree by Hilton Tampa Rocky Point Waterfront + Whiskey Joe's | Tampa, FL

Blair + Steven | Intimate Waterfront Wedding | DoubleTree by Hilton Tampa Rocky Point Waterfront + Whiskey Joe’s

From the moment I met Blair and Steven, I could feel their deep bond—calm, easygoing, and full of genuine joy. As the lead photographer for Limelight Photography, I often witness incredible love stories, but theirs stood out as something truly special. Their wedding day was the perfect blend of intimacy, emotion, and relaxed coastal charm—everything they had dreamed of.

Their love story began in the most unexpected way: though they had gone to school together their whole lives, it wasn’t until a chance encounter while duck hunting in 2022 that they reconnected. A month later, they started chatting—and from there, “the rest is history,” as Blair sweetly puts it. Their proposal story was equally serendipitous. While on a family trip to Yellowstone, Steven found the perfect moment by a quiet waterfall, away from the crowds. With just Blair’s family nearby, he proposed in the most heartfelt and personal way, asking for forever in a place filled with natural beauty.

Their wedding day echoed that same simplicity and sincerity. Set at the gorgeous DoubleTree by Hilton Tampa Rocky Point Waterfront, with the celebration continuing at Whiskey Joe’s, the day felt more like a vacation with loved ones than a traditional wedding—exactly as they envisioned. The ceremony was intimate, with only immediate family gathered by the water. Everyone was dressed in light, breezy styles—florals for the women and khaki or linen for the men—reflecting the couple’s love for the outdoors and the ocean.

Blair’s minimal and elegant vision came to life with touches of white and greenery that complemented the waterfront setting perfectly. Their ceremony was peaceful and filled with meaning, and after the vows, we took time to capture timeless family portraits and heartfelt moments with those closest to them.

Later in the day, we headed over to Whiskey Joe’s for the golden hour photos, and let me just say—wow. The soft, glowing light reflecting off the water created the dreamiest backdrop for their couple portraits. Their joy and connection came through effortlessly, and these images became some of my favorites of the entire day. As someone who specializes in wedding photography in Tampa Florida, golden hour at Whiskey Joe’s is an absolute dream to photograph.

Blair and Steven, thank you for trusting Limelight Photography to tell your story through photojournalistic photography. Your love, kindness, and laughter made every moment a joy to capture. Wishing you a lifetime of beach days, family adventures, and laughter that never ends.

Haley + Tyler Step Into The Limelight | Armature Works | Tampa, FL

A Timeless, Yet Modern Love Story at Armature Works

There’s something so special about couples who are simply and deeply comfortable with each other — and Haley and Tyler embody that beautifully. From the moment I met them at Armature Works on their wedding day, I could feel the calm confidence they bring to their relationship — grounded, easy, and full of joy.

Their wedding was the perfect reflection of who they are: classic, laid-back, and deeply in love. From neutral florals to black-tie attire, every element felt intentional. The ceremony took place indoors at the beautiful Armature Works. As a Tampa photographer who’s captured many weddings in this beautiful city, I can honestly say this Tampa wedding venue was the perfect backdrop for this kind of relaxed, timeless celebration.

What stood out most was the way they looked at each other — especially as Haley walked down the aisle. That moment, with their loved ones surrounding them, was pure magic. Capturing those wedding candids and emotional reactions is what I love most about photojournalistic photography — real, unscripted moments that tell the heart of the story.

Haley and Tyler’s vows were filled with tenderness and laughter. And when it came time for their first dance during the reception, you could see just how much fun they have together — always exploring, always laughing, always in sync. They’re self-proclaimed foodies who love discovering new restaurants and adventures together, and that same energy was felt throughout the evening as they danced the night away with friends and family.

From the black-tie palette to the simple yet elegant table settings and florals, everything was beautifully curated without feeling overdone. Their vision of a timeless, yet modern style came to life effortlessly, creating a warm, emotional atmosphere that made guests feel excited, happy, and deeply moved.

As a storyteller behind the lens, moments like these are what I live for — capturing the love, laughter, and little glances that say everything without words. Haley and Tyler, thank you for letting me be part of your day. Your wedding was a true celebration of your journey together, and it was an honor to preserve those memories through wedding photography in Tampa.

Bailey + Jonathan Step Into The Limelight | Hotel Zamora | St. Pete Beach, FL

Bailey & Jonathan’s Wedding: A Love Story Straight Out of a Fairytale

Some love stories feel like they’re straight out of a movie, and Bailey and Jonathan’s is exactly that. They met a few years ago through mutual friends, and it was impossible not to fall for each other—they are truly a perfect match, like Barbie and Ken. Their love story took an exciting turn when Jonathan proposed during an unforgettable trip to Mexico, sealing their future together.

I first met Bailey and Jonathan during their engagement session and from the start I knew they were something special. I had them climb rocks and run along the beach, and instead of hesitation, they embraced the adventure with laughter and joy. That moment made me fall in love with capturing their story, and I knew their wedding day would be nothing short of incredible.

Finally, the big day arrived. The wedding was absolutely perfect—even with the strong wind that had everyone’s hair flying in all directions, lol. But nothing could take away from the beauty of the moment. Witnessing their vows was deeply moving, and watching Bailey walk down the aisle was breathtaking.

Every second of their day was filled with love, happiness, and unforgettable memories. I feel so honored to have been a part of such a special chapter in their lives. Bailey and Jonathan, your connection is truly inspiring, and I have no doubt that your journey together will be just as magical as your wedding day.

Cheers to forever!
