Sonya + Vardhnaan Step Into The Limelight | Wyndham Grand Clearwater Beach | Clearwater Beach, FL

A Regal & Timeless South Asian Wedding in Florida: Sonya & VJ

As Florida South Asian wedding photographers, videographers, and content creators, we constantly reminded that the most powerful love stories often unfold when you least expect them—and Sonya and VJ’s celebration was a beautiful reflection of that truth. Their South Asian wedding was regal, timeless, and deeply rooted in culture, blending elegant Florida influences with meaningful Indian traditions, all surrounded by the people who matter most.

How Sonya & VJ Met

Sonya and VJ met through an online app and built their relationship long-distance. With demanding careers and busy schedules, their love grew through intentional effort and shared commitment. What began unexpectedly evolved into a partnership grounded in mutual support and growth.

The Proposal

VJ proposed while Sonya was attending a conference—though she sensed something special was coming. He asked her to dress up “to take pictures,” spent the day playfully distracting her, and then led her to a beautifully lit street where he proposed, surrounded by close family and friends. It was intimate, emotional, and perfectly aligned with who they are.

What They Love About Each Other

They bring out the best versions of one another—encouraging personal growth, celebrating ambition, and building a life side by side.

Life Together

From eating and traveling to working out and studying, Sonya and VJ truly enjoy doing everything together. Their relationship is a full partnership in every sense.

A Florida South Asian Wedding with Regal, Timeless Style

The vision for their wedding was clear: an elegant, timeless South Asian wedding in Florida that honored Sonya’s roots while celebrating their shared future. The result was a celebration that felt elevated yet welcoming, traditional yet personal—everything a modern Indian wedding strives to be.

Sangeet Night: A Signature South Asian Celebration

Sonya & VJ’s South Asian Sangeet Night unfolded beneath a glowing twilight sky, framed by tall palm trees and warm café lights. The energy was electric and intimate all at once. Sixteen high-energy Bollywood dance performances filled the evening with color, movement, and joy, as family and friends took turns lighting up the dance floor. It was the perfect prelude to their wedding day and a highlight of the full multi-day Indian wedding celebration.

Wedding Day Elegance & Tradition

Their wedding day was nothing short of breathtaking. Sonya wore richly embroidered lehengas in deep red and soft gold, layered with intricate beadwork and flowing dupattas—each look a stunning example of South Asian bridal fashion.

The ceremony took place beneath a grand white mandap adorned with ornate carvings and lush florals. The space felt sacred, serene, and deeply emotional as Sonya and VJ honored South Asian wedding traditions, family, and commitment during their ceremony. Every moment felt reverent, meaningful, and full of love.

Meaningful Moments & Lasting Memories

What made this South Asian wedding truly unique was the incredible number of friends and family who traveled to celebrate Sonya and VJ. The most memorable moments—from heartfelt speeches and choreographed dances to incredible food and drinks—were amplified by the joy of having everyone together in one place.

In just four words, Sonya and VJ wanted their guests to feel: welcomed, fed, happy, and completely partied out—and they delivered on every level.

Vendor Love & Gratitude

This South Asian wedding at the Wyndham Hotel in Florida came together seamlessly thanks to an exceptional vendor team. A special thank you to Aspara Events for their outstanding planning, calm leadership, and flawless execution, allowing the couple and their families to be fully present throughout the celebration.

Limelight Photography was honored to capture this unforgettable Indian wedding at the Wyndham Hotel—a celebration filled with culture, elegance, and heartfelt joy.

Sonya and VJ’s South Asian wedding in Florida was a true reflection of who they are: two driven individuals who found each other unexpectedly, grew together intentionally, and celebrated their love through tradition, family, and timeless elegance. It was an absolute honor to tell their story.

Marissa + Brennan Step Into The Limelight | The Resort at Longboat Key Club | Longboat Key, FL

Every wedding I photograph tells its own story, but Marissa and Brennan’s Sarasota Wedding stood out in the most meaningful way from the very first moment. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of The Resort at Longboat Key Club, their day was exactly what they envisioned: beautiful, fun, heartfelt, and filled with family, music, and so much love.

Marissa and Brennan’s story began in true Philly fashion—meeting at Xfinity Live! while Marissa was celebrating her 23rd birthday. After Brennan confidently asked for her number (despite his friend striking out nearby 😄), their first date at Chickie’s & Pete’s sealed the deal, and the rest is history.

Brennan later proposed at one of their favorite beach spots in Hilton Head Island. What started as a “quick photoshoot” turned into the sweetest surprise when Marissa turned around to find their families waiting to celebrate—followed by a full-on party back at the house. That sense of togetherness carried beautifully into their wedding day.

Their love for the beach made Sarasota, Tampa, FL the perfect choice. After living in Bradenton for three years and touring nine venues, they fell head over heels for the Resort at LBK. Marissa chose her dress alongside her mom and Brennan’s mom—a moment she described as incredibly meaningful—and every detail of the day felt authentic, intentional, and so them.

From bright, summer-inspired colors to nonstop live music all weekend long, their wedding was vibrant and joyful. But what stood out most was their connection—Brennan being Marissa’s safe space, and Marissa’s endlessly kind heart that Brennan says he could talk about for hours. Capturing their candid photography moments—quiet glances, laughter, and the energy of the celebration—was such a gift.

Marissa & Brennan, thank you for trusting me and our team as your Sarasota Wedding Photographer. Your day was a perfect reflection of your love, and I’m so grateful to have documented it.

✨ If you’re a Florida Bride dreaming of a wedding filled with heart, fun, and authentic moments, we’d love for you to Step Into The Limelight with us. Reach out to Limelight Photography to begin telling your own love story.

Haley + Todd Step Into The Limelight | Longboat Key Club | Longboat Key, FL

A Longboat Key Club Wedding Filled With Calm, Laughter, and Love.

When two Scorpios meet, the universe definitely stirs things up in the best possible way. That’s exactly how it was for Haley Geoffroy and Todd Keebaugh, whose story began back in 2017 when they worked for the same company. Life eventually led them in different directions, but years later, LinkedIn did what dating apps couldn’t… it brought them back together. A simple message, a drink to “catch up,” and suddenly, the spark was undeniable.

Their proposal was just as perfectly them, equal parts sentimental and spontaneous. During a birthday weekend getaway in Longboat Key (they’re both Scorpios, celebrating just ten days apart!), Todd suggested they stop by the new St. Regis before dinner with his parents. A walk on the beach turned into a life-changing moment when Haley turned around to find Todd on one knee, ocean breeze swirling around them, the kind of calm and beauty that only the sea and true love can bring.

That same peaceful energy carried through to their wedding day at The Resort at Longboat Key Club. The couple envisioned something intimate, heartfelt, and joyful, a celebration surrounded by their closest family and friends in a place they consider their second home. The golf course views reflected one of their favorite shared passions, but it was their connection that truly set the tone.

Even when strong rain rolled in right before the ceremony, neither of them lost their calm. Todd’s serene presence balanced Haley’s joyful excitement perfectly, like the still ocean meeting a warm breeze. It felt as though the rain had arrived with a purpose: to wash away any heaviness from the air so their life together could begin clear, bright, and overflowing with blessings.

And when the skies cleared, the light seemed to glow just for them. The way Todd looked at Haley was like watching the sunset over the sea, soft, steady, and full of peace.

Haley looked stunning in a gown that felt as if it had been waiting for her all along, and later changed into a second dress that fit like it was designed just for the dance floor. Todd’s midnight blue tuxedo, a nod to Penn State and his ocean-colored eyes, added the perfect touch of classic charm.

The day was filled with thoughtful details and playful moments, like a round of glow-in-the-dark mini golf during cocktail hour that kept everyone laughing. Their cake, a delicious mix of salted caramel and Boston Crème, mirrored the texture and beauty of Haley’s dress, a detail Todd didn’t discover until that sweet moment of cutting it together.

Behind all the beauty, there was also a lot of heart and creativity. Haley crafted nearly everything by hand, from the welcome sign and bar menus to embroidered napkins, koozies, and personalized putting green flags. With her Cricut, sewing machine, and embroidery tools, she poured her creativity into every corner of the day, making it truly their own.

From start to finish, Haley and Todd’s wedding felt like them, joyful, grounded, and full of love. It wasn’t about perfection; it was about presence. The laughter, the quiet moments, the way she reached for his hand, and the way his calm steadied everyone around them.

Their day at The Resort at Longboat Key Club was more than a wedding; it was a reflection of two souls who make each other better, who balance, complete, and calm the world around them.

To Haley and Todd: Thank you for letting me be part of such an incredible moment in your lives. Watching the rain give way to sunshine felt like witnessing the start of something truly blessed. May your journey together always be filled with peace, laughter, and a love as radiant as the light after the storm.
- With love, Natalia
