Miranda and Mark’s Clearwater Beach Wedding & Starship Yacht Celebration – 50 Shades of Brown

Miranda and Mark’s love story is one filled with laughter, surprises, and a beautiful twist that made their wedding day even more memorable. The couple officially tied the knot privately in 2024, keeping their marriage a secret until the perfect moment to celebrate with everyone they love. On November 1, 2025, they finally shared their joy with family and friends during a breathtaking Clearwater Beach wedding followed by a glamorous reception aboard the Starship Yacht.

The couple’s wedding theme  “50 Shades of Brown”  was as clever as it was stunning. Not only did it perfectly match their last name, Brown, but it also created a warm, elegant, and cohesive atmosphere throughout the day. Guests were invited to wear varying shades of brown, creating a visually beautiful palette against the white sands and turquoise waters of Clearwater Beach.

After the ceremony, everyone boarded the Starship Yacht for an unforgettable evening cruise filled with laughter, dancing, and incredible views of the Clearwater coastline. The yacht’s elegant setting paired perfectly with the couple’s coastal-chic theme. As the night unfolded, Miranda and Mark surprised their guests with an announcement: they were already married! The room erupted with cheers, hugs, and happy tears as their loved ones realized the couple had been secretly husband and wife since 2024.

Miranda and Mark’s wedding is a perfect reminder that love can be celebrated in countless ways. whether in secret, in sunshine, or surrounded by everyone who matters most.

Christy + Frank Step Into The Limelight | JW Marriott Clearwater Beach Resort & Spa | Clearwater Beach, FL

From the very first moment I met Christy and Frank on their wedding day, I could feel the warmth and love that radiates between them. Their story began online, followed by a first dinner date in March, and blossomed into a proposal on Thanksgiving—wrapped in layers of gift boxes until the final one revealed a ring. It was personal, sweet, and surrounded by family.

Their wedding at the JW Marriott Clearwater Beach Resort & Spa was nothing short of magical. The couple chose Clearwater Beach because it holds a special place in their hearts—it was their first trip together and quickly became their favorite place. With an intimate gathering of family and close friends, their vision of an elegant, ocean-inspired celebration came to life. The “ocean blues with hints of bling” theme perfectly reflected their style—a vacation love paradise.

Some of the most unforgettable moments included their heartfelt first looks with loved ones, Christy becoming Mrs. Johnson surrounded by those dearest to her, and Frank’s daughter officiating their ceremony and singing their favorite song, Flaws by Calum Scott. In a powerful and symbolic gesture, the couple exchanged Viking swords to represent their strength and lifelong protection of one another—a tradition that made their day truly unique.

What stood out most to me as their Clearwater Beach Photographer was capturing their joy, their laughter, and their genuine connection. From tender embraces to candid smiles, every image told the story of two best friends who found a forever love. This is exactly why I adore wedding photography in Clearwater Beach—every backdrop, every detail, and every moment feels alive.

Christy and Frank’s wedding was a true reflection of who they are: independent, kind, loyal, adventurous, and deeply in love. Their day was filled with beauty, meaning, and joy, and I feel so honored to have documented it through photojournalistic photography and timeless wedding candids.
