“So this is love. So this is what makes life divine.” – Cinderella
Jessica and Ian radiate joy, warmth, and genuine love—not only for each other, but for everyone in their orbit. As their wedding photographer in St. Petersburg, it was an honor to document a day filled with emotion, laughter, and unforgettable personal touches.
Their love story began in the most modern way—on Hinge. But fate really stepped in when Jessica’s job happened to take her to BayCare Ballpark, where Ian worked. A flurry of phone flashlight signals and a determined best friend led to a first meeting that sealed the deal. Jessica knew right away that Ian was her person, and as they say, the rest is history.
Fast forward to a surprise Tuesday evening proposal at the beach, surrounded by friends and family, and you’ve got the beginning of a new forever. The beach has always held meaning for them—it was the backdrop of their first date and the proposal—and that coastal romance theme flowed beautifully through their Isla Del Sol wedding. With soft shades of sea glass blues, dreamy draped lighting, and the salty breeze rolling off the bay, it felt like a page out of a storybook.
Jessica walked down the aisle in a flowing boho-inspired gown, radiant and glowing, while Ian waited with a heart full of love (and maybe a few tears in his eyes). Their vows were deeply emotional—both of them wore their hearts on their sleeves, and I don’t think there was a dry eye in the crowd.
And speaking of feelings, one of my favorite wedding candids was when Jessica and her mom danced during the reception as a slideshow of memories with her father played behind them. That kind of love and legacy is what weddings are truly about.
To quote Disney:
