A Fun and Classy Celebration: Collynne & Eric’s Wedding Day

Some love stories start with a chance encounter, and others begin with a simple swipe. For Collynne and Eric, it all started on Bumble in July 2022 a modern spark that led to an unforgettable connection.

Fast forward to a magical night at a Justin Timberlake concert, where Eric popped the question while JT performed Selfish—a song written for his own wife. A beautiful, intimate proposal that perfectly captured the love between two people who truly see themselves as a team.

When you meet Collynne and Eric, you instantly feel their connection. Whether they’re volunteering in the community, dancing waist-deep in the pool, enjoying concerts, working out, or sharing long walks and deeper talks, they do everything as a duo. Their bond is built on shared passions and unwavering support.

Their wedding day was nothing short of a happily ever after. The couple chose a local venue with a beautiful atmosphere a place that invited their guests to dance, celebrate, and feel the joy in the air. The style? Fun and classy, just like them.

From the beginning of the day to the last song played, this wedding was filled with meaningful moments. One of the most special? The first look on the aisle a heartfelt, emotional moment that neither will ever forget.

The soundtrack of their day played a huge role in creating the vibe setting the tone for every heartfelt glance, every tear, every laugh, and every dance. But above all, what stood out the most was the presence of their friends and family all together in one place, celebrating their love.

When asked what made their wedding unique, their answer was simple: “It’s ours” No DIY, no over-the-top frills just love, laughter, and a celebration that was deeply, beautifully theirs.

In four words, they captured the essence of their day: Happy. Comfortable. Excited. United. And that’s exactly how it felt for everyone lucky enough to be there.

On a personal note, it was truly an honor to be part of Collynne and Eric’s wedding. Living this moment filled with emotion and happiness was an unforgettable experience.

From the bottom of my heart, I wish you both endless joy and a life as beautiful as the love you share a love that touches everyone who crosses your path with respect and kindness.

Sheena & Ryan’s Beautiful Beach Wedding at Sirata Beach Resort

There are some weddings that just feel like magic from the moment you arrive—and Sheena, Aden, and Ryan’s special day was exactly that. Set at the stunning Sirata Beach Resort, their celebration was a beautiful blend of love, laughter, and the kind of joy that sticks with you long after the day is over.

The weather couldn’t have been more perfect. The sun was shining, the sky was crystal clear, and although the ocean breeze brought a touch of wind, it only added to the dreamy beach vibe. Their ceremony took place right on the sand, with the waves crashing gently in the background and the light catching just right—truly a photographer’s dream!

Sheena looked absolutely radiant, and the way Ryan looked at her? Pure love. Aden brought such a sweet presence to the day, and watching them all together was such a

beautiful reminder of what this day was really about—family, connection, and celebration.

After the heartfelt ceremony, the reception kicked off in full swing. The energy was amazing—dancing, laughter, and so many moments filled with genuine happiness. Every guest brought their own spark, and the entire evening felt like a true celebration of love and life by the sea.

It was such an honor to capture this day. Sheena, Aden, and Ryan—thank you for letting me be a part of your story. Your wedding was nothing short of unforgettable, and I’m so excited for you to relive these memories through your photos.

Rebecca & Joe: A Love Story Rooted in Friendship, Adventure… and a Whole Lot of Dancing

Rebecca and Joe’s story began in the summer of 2014 at a chemistry start-up in Missoula, Montana. Yep, their love story started with actual chemistry. What began as coworkers quickly turned into genuine friendship, built over shared laughs, long workdays, and the kind of camaraderie that doesn't fade with time.

After leaving the company, they stayed close, and in January 2017, their friendship blossomed into something even more beautiful: a relationship filled with joy, respect, and a shared love for life’s adventures.

Fast forward a few years, a big move to Boulder with their gentle giant Bear (a lovable Newfoundland), and another spontaneous leap to Florida in 2019 for a new career opportunity. Together, they built a life filled with courage, laughter, a new home in 2021, and in 2022, a Great Dane puppy named Bailey, who I'm told thinks he's the size of a chihuahua.

And then came the day, their wedding day.

Let me just say: it was absolutely stunning. The kind of day that makes you believe in love all over again. Emotions ran high (yes, I saw a few happy tears sneak out — and not just from the couple). There was laughter, heartfelt moments, and so much dancing. I mean, these people came to celebrate. From the tearful vows to the high-energy dance floor, every second was magic.

And Rebecca? She was nothing short of breathtaking in her wedding dress. Truly, she looked like she walked straight out of a bridal fairytale. Joe’s reaction when he saw her said it all complete awe.

As the photographer, I felt incredibly lucky to witness and capture such a joyful, love-filled day. Being part of their story, even from behind the lens, was a total honor (and also a workout I’m convinced I burned at least 2,000 calories keeping up with all that dancing).

To Rebecca and Joe: thank you for letting me be part of such a meaningful chapter. I can’t wait to see where life takes you two and your two big, goofy dogs. Whatever comes next, I know it’ll be full of love, adventure, and plenty of laughter.

Raquell + Brian Step Into The Limelight | Hotel Zamora | St. Pete Beach, FL

From the very first moment I met Raquell and Brian, I could tell their connection was something truly special. There’s a peacefulness between them—a calm joy that radiates from every glance and every shared laugh. Documenting their wedding at The Hotel Zamora was such a beautiful experience, and I’m thrilled to share their love story here.

These two first crossed paths through work in 2018, and by March of 2019, they officially began dating. Their love grew strong over the years, rooted in laughter, respect, and a genuine appreciation for life’s simple joys—like movie nights, exploring DC’s food scene, game nights with family, and traveling together. When it came time for Brian to pop the question, he chose a quiet and heartfelt setting: a walk along the National Mall in Washington, D.C. He proposed near the war memorial, and after the tears and hugs, they were met by a surprise celebration with all their closest family and friends. It was so them—thoughtful, meaningful, and full of love.

Their wedding day vision was minimal yet elegant, with an emphasis on being present and having fun. Hotel Zamora, nestled along the beautiful waterfront of St. Pete Beach, provided the perfect mix of relaxed luxury and coastal charm. As a St Pete Photographer, it’s always a treat to shoot at this dreamy venue—with its whitewashed walls, rooftop views, and intimate ambiance, it really sets the stage for something magical.

One of my favorite parts of the day was capturing their wedding candids—those real, unfiltered moments that show how deeply these two feel for each other. From the anticipation while getting ready, to their heartfelt vows during the ceremony, and the full-out joy during their reception dance party, every moment was filled with authenticity and love. Their ceremony especially stood out—standing hand-in-hand in front of everyone they cherish, their words were tender and honest, and I don't think there was a dry eye in the house.

Their reception? Just as they hoped—dancing the night away with the people they love most! From the first dance to the high-energy moves on the dance floor later that night, it was clear this wedding was not just about celebration—it was about connection, joy, and legacy.

Raquell and Brian made every detail intentional, crafting a day that reflected who they are: calm, motivated, fun-loving, and deeply in love. They didn’t stress about perfection—they focused on experience. And that’s what makes a wedding truly unforgettable.

Raquell + Brian, thank you for trusting me to tell your story through photojournalistic photography. You were a joy to photograph, and your love is an inspiration. I wish you a lifetime filled with new adventures, lots of laughter, and all the best movie nights.

If you're looking for wedding photography in St Pete Florida that captures your story with meaning, joy, and authenticity—Limelight Photography would be honored to be part of your day. Reach out and let’s make magic together.

💛 Relaxed. Fun. Memorable. Just like Raquell + Brian.

A Sun-Kissed Celebration: Keily & Cameron’s Wedding at Innisbrook

Keily and Cameron’s wedding day was nothing short of magical—and let me tell you, the Florida sun came out in full force to celebrate with them. Set at the stunning Innisbrook Golf Resort, the day was a perfect mix of elegance, laughter, and high-energy celebration.

The sun was blazing from the moment the morning began, casting a golden glow over the rolling green hills of the resort. Guests arrived in light linens, fans in hand, and smiles already forming as they took in the gorgeous outdoor ceremony setup. Keily looked radiant walking down the aisle, the sunlight catching every detail of her dress as Cameron beamed at her like he’d just won the lottery (which, honestly, he kind of did)

The reception was bursting with color—think vibrant florals, playful table settings, and a dance floor that lit up both literally and figuratively. The music was on point all night long, with a mix of crowd favorites that had everyone from college friends to grandmas busting a move. It was one of those nights where the playlist felt like it was reading the room’s mood perfectly—building, shifting, and keeping the energy alive.

There were heartfelt toasts, spontaneous dancing, and that kind of joy that just radiates from everyone when the love is real.

By the time the stars came out, guests were not quite ready for the night to end. But like all great stories, this one closed with laughter, hugs, and a sendoff that felt straight out of a movie.

Keily and Cameron’s wedding was more than just a beautiful day—it was a celebration of love, sunshine, good music, and the kind of connection that makes you believe in forever.
