Sherri + Brian Step Into The Limelight | The Barn at Jewel Farm | Keystone, FL

A Hawaiian-Inspired Celebration of A Love Story Rooted in Adventure, Family, and Joy.

When Brian and his bride met online in October 2020, they instantly discovered a shared love for laughter, good food, and spontaneous adventures. What began as a digital spark quickly evolved into a relationship filled with travel, cooking together, and celebrating life’s everyday moments.

✈️ A Proposal in Paradise

Brian’s proposal was nothing short of cinematic — a helicopter landing beside a waterfall overlooking the ocean in Hawaii. With the sound of waves crashing below, he got down on one knee and asked the question that would lead them here. That moment by the sea became the heartbeat of their love story and the inspiration for the wedding that followed.

🌿 The Wedding Vision

The couple dreamed of bringing a touch of Hawaii’s relaxed beauty to their Florida celebration, creating a day that felt comfortable, natural, joyous, and authentic.

Hosted at The Barn at Jewel Farm, the setting offered a casual yet elegant barn backdrop, perfectly complemented by tropical touches — lush greenery, organic textures, and the joyful energy that mirrored their Hawaiian engagement. Their children served as the wedding party, filling the day with laughter, love, and the warmth of family.

💕 Heartfelt Details

The day flowed effortlessly from an intimate outdoor ceremony to a relaxed reception filled with delicious flavors and happy tears.
Guests enjoyed catering by Olympia Catering and a sweet ending with a Publix wedding cake, while Events Done Right kept the music lively and spirits high.

The couple’s goal was simple — to celebrate love and togetherness in a space that felt like home. Every moment, from the heartfelt vows beneath the open sky to the laughter shared on the dance floor, reflected the beauty of an authentic, family-centered love story.

Maria + Luis Step Into The Limelight | Philippe Park | Safety Harbor, FL

Golden Hour Engagement Session at Philippe Park | Maria + Luis

There’s something truly magical about golden hour in Florida. The soft, dreamy light that wraps everything in warmth and romance. On September 24th, Maria and Luis met at Philippe Park in Safety Harbor for their engagement session, and the timing couldn’t have been more perfect. Nestled beneath the towering oaks and with Tampa Bay as their backdrop, the couple’s love for one another radiated through every frame.

Maria and Luis share a connection that feels effortless and full of joy. From the way they laugh together to the quiet, stolen glances between poses, it’s clear they’ve found something special. The session unfolded with ease, as the park’s winding trails, historic stone walls, and serene waterfront provided the perfect canvas for their story.

Their engagement began with an unforgettable proposal at Bok Tower Gardens — a beautifully curated moment in a setting as romantic as their journey. That same sense of thoughtful intention and timeless beauty carried through into their engagement session.

With their wedding date set for February 21st at The Manor on Lake Juliana, their story is just beginning. As they prepare to step into the next chapter of their lives together, this golden hour session will serve as a beautiful reminder of the love and anticipation leading up to their big day.

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.

Studio 131 Steps Into The Limelight | Studio 131 | Largo, FL

Modern Romance in Burgundy & Olive at Studio 131

Studio 131 in Largo, Florida set the stage for a modern, romantic styled shoot that blended sculptural florals, candlelit tablescapes, and sleek fashion. The palette leaned into deep burgundy, olive and moss greens, warm taupe, and creamy ivory, creating an editorial look that still felt welcoming and timeless.

The Look & Feel

JoBelle Design transformed the Ballroom, Courtyard, Lounge, and waterfront spaces with burgundy anthurium, white calla lilies, trailing amaranthus, and lush greens. Olive velvet linens, clear glass, and tall tapers cast a soft glow, while a minimalist strapless gown and tailored suiting added clean, architectural lines. Every vignette—from an intimate sweetheart table to the oak-tree ceremony setting—was styled to be both photogenic and functional for a real wedding flow.

How It Was Captured

Adrian from Limelight Photography documented the design with an eye for texture, light, and movement, highlighting the contrast between soft candlelight and bold florals. Christina of Heart & Root led her studio’s coverage and added a nostalgic spin with a vintage Super-8–style film camera (yes, the one that goes whir-whir-click). Those film snippets brought a dreamy, tactile layer to the story—proof that modern design and old-school romance play beautifully together.

Why It Inspired Couples

The design proved that couples can be bold and timeless at once: rich, moody florals grounded by natural greens; minimalist fashion balanced by romantic, candlelit atmosphere. It’s a look that translated seamlessly from indoor ballroom to outdoor ceremony, and it photographed like a dream at golden hour.

Shannon + Paul Step Into The Limelight | Christ the King Catholic Church + Grand Hyatt Tampa Bay | Tampa, FL

On a sun-kissed September day in Tampa, Florida, Shannon and Paul tied the knot in a heartfelt and elegant ceremony at Christ the King Catholic Church. Their wedding, held on September 6th, 2025, was a beautiful reflection of their deep connection, global love story, and timeless style.

Shannon and Paul’s journey began in the most unexpected of places—Antigua, where they met as teenagers. What started as a chance meeting soon grew into a lasting bond. Years later, Paul proposed during the Christmas holiday, surrounded by the warmth of the season and those they loved most.

The couple chose to exchange vows at Christ the King Catholic Church, a stunning and sacred space that offered the perfect backdrop for their traditional Catholic ceremony. Surrounded by family, friends, and the quiet elegance of the sanctuary, Shannon and Paul said “I do” in a service filled with reverence and love.

Following the ceremony, the celebration continued on the Sky Terrace of the Grand Hyatt Tampa Bay. With panoramic views of the water and the golden glow of the setting sun, the terrace provided an unforgettable setting for their reception. The couple selected the Grand Hyatt for its breathtaking waterfront views, and it did not disappoint. The location was nothing short of magical as day turned to night over Tampa Bay.

From the tearful first looks to the laughter on the dance floor, Shannon and Paul’s wedding was filled with emotion, beauty, and joy. Every moment felt genuine and full of heart, a testament to a couple who have known each other for years and still look at each other like they just met.

It was an absolute honour to photograph this chapter of Shannon and Paul’s love story. Their wedding day was not only stunning in every detail but also a reminder of the power of enduring love and the beauty of celebrating it surrounded by the people who matter most.
