Cruising Into Forever | Lexi + Dylan’s Yacht Starship Wedding

Lexi and Dylan’s Clearwater wedding was the kind of day that keeps you smiling from start to finish—and honestly, we wouldn’t expect anything less from a couple whose love story began as an April Fool’s “joke.”

Yes, really. Dylan downloaded Bumble at work just to entertain his coworkers… and ended up meeting his future wife. One match, one conversation, and that was it. Safe to say, that joke aged incredibly well.

Fast forward to their wedding day, and the energy was just as fun, effortless, and full of personality as their story.

Before stepping aboard the Yacht Starship, Lexi and Dylan shared a quiet first look at their hotel. It was one of those rare moments where everything slows down in the best way. The nerves faded, the smiles came naturally, and Dylan’s signature goofy charm showed up right on cue—just as Lexi said it would. From that first glance, it was clear: these two bring out something special in each other.

Then it was time to take the celebration to the water.

Their Yacht Starship wedding captured everything we love about Clearwater—coastal breezes, glowing views, and an atmosphere that felt equal parts romantic and wildly fun. Surrounded by friends, family, and the open Gulf, Lexi and Dylan said their vows in a setting that felt completely true to who they are: relaxed, joyful, and full of life.

And in a move that perfectly matched their energy, they sealed their marriage with a shared shot. Iconic, unforgettable, and completely them.

As the sun dipped lower and the city lights began to glow, the celebration kicked into full gear. What followed was nothing short of the party of the century. The dance floor stayed packed, laughter echoed across the deck, and every moment felt alive with energy. Whether they were dancing, mingling, or stealing a quick moment together, Lexi and Dylan made the entire evening feel like one big, joyful celebration—not just of their wedding, but of their life together.

Throughout it all, their connection was undeniable. Dylan kept everyone laughing, while Lexi lit up every space she stepped into. Together, they created an atmosphere that was warm, vibrant, and completely unforgettable.

From a mountain-view proposal in Tennessee to a wedding day cruising along Clearwater’s coastline, their story is filled with adventure, laughter, and a shared love for the things that make life fun—good food, great drinks, fishing trips, and gaming nights. They’re the kind of couple who not only enjoy life to the fullest but bring everyone around them along for the ride.

Lexi and Dylan, your wedding day was unforgettable in all the best ways. We’re so honored we got to capture every laugh, every happy tear, and every celebratory shot.

Tonya & Chris – A Yacht Wedding Full of Love, Laughter, and a Little Bit of Wobble

Some love stories feel like poetry. Tonya and Chris? They’re a whole playlist, romantic, joyful, and impossible not to dance along with.

These two had known each other for years through their children, but it wasn’t until May 2022 that the universe decided to give their story the spotlight. Thanks to some well-placed friends, they reconnected and quickly became inseparable. From concerts to traveling adventures and quiet days just enjoying each other's company, their journey since that first date on May 21, 2022, has been full of unforgettable moments.

They made it official (and tear-jerkingly sweet!) on November 25, 2023, surrounded by family and friends when Chris popped the question. And let me tell you, their destination wedding aboard a yacht on April 26, 2025, was nothing short of magical.

Photographing their wedding was an absolute dream although I’d be lying if I said I didn’t almost fall over at least five times thanks to the gentle, rocking of the boat! But hey, I survived with my gear intact and a heart full of joy.

The energy that day was contagious. Everyone had a glow, a sparkle in their eyes that said, “These two are something special.” Even the sunset seemed to agree it showed off with such beauty and harmony that it felt like the sky was serenading us with the most beautiful love song ever written.

And then there’s her gaze oh, the way Tonya’s eyes light up when she looks at Chris. That kind of sparkle can’t be faked. It’s the kind of look that says, “There you are. My person.” Watching her look at him was like watching love itself unfold pure, honest, and beautiful beyond words.

And then came the moment: Tonya and Chris’s private last dance. Just the two of them swaying gently as the boat rocked and the stars peeked out above it was pure magic. As a photographer, I get to witness a lot of beautiful things, but this moment? This one will stay with me.

I’m beyond grateful to have been a part of their big day. Tonya and Chris, thank you for trusting me to capture your love, your laughter, and yes, even my almost-slips onboard!

Wishing you a lifetime of happiness, spontaneous adventures, and sunsets that keep singing your song.
