CHRISTINA AND JOE FEATURED IN THE LIMELIGHT | ST. BRENDAN'S CATHOLIC CHURCH AND THE HOLIDAY INN | CLEARWATER BEACH, FL

Christina and Joe had a spectacular wedding this fine October day at Clearwater Beach. I had the privilege of photographing their engagement shoot early this year and I knew they were one of the most outgoing and funniest couples to be around. This same energy that I picked up during their engagement session translated on to this day and it was just perfect!

Joe and Christina met at the police academy in Dade City about 5 years ago. Christina fell in love with Joe’s sense of humor and just had such a great time when he was around. Joe one day, acknowledging that she was the one for him, decided to propose one day with a fake parking ticket while at Clearwater Beach. She said yes immediately and ever since, their love has grown. They enjoy boating together, they go on shooting ranges for fun and of course love to go to the beach to take the day off and relax.

On their wedding day, they wanted to incorporate as much of them as possible. From a donut bar, to beach themed arrangements and of course a fun sense of humor hidden within their details. They made their wedding their own in such a great way for everyone to enjoy. Family and friends joined them from near and far and the same fun energy translated on to them as well. It was such a pleasure being around these two for the day - congratulations to the lovely newlyweds!!!

KATELYN AND JORDAN STEP INTO THE LIMELIGHT | DOWNTOWN ST. PETERSBURG | ST. PETERSBURG, FL

They are so sweet to each other! 

Planning a wedding can be stressful and challenging but when you can let the craziness go for a bit and just be - that’s be best! When you can just be yourself, enjoy life together and enjoy each other…that is what makes life beautiful and it was what these two did! It was so nice to walk and talk around beautiful downtown St. Petersburg scouting the coolest murals for Katelyn & Jordan’s engagement session. They are so in love, it is so beautiful to watch! I cannot wait for their wedding in July of 2018.

ERICA AND KEVIN FEATURED IN THE LIMELIGHT | SANDPEARL | CLEARWATER BEACH, FL

It was such a pleasure to join this gorgeous couple on a day so important to the both of them and their family. Erica and Kevin had their dream wedding at The Sandpearl on Clearwater Beach early this October and tied the knot in the same location where Kevin dropped on one knee to propose to the love of his life - exactly one year ago! Erica and Kevin’s love story began when they first met each other in the high school they both attended to about 17 years ago. Their wedding was beach themed and all out doors so their friends and loved ones, which traveled from afar, would enjoy Clearwater Beach’s sand, air and amazing sunset. It was truly such an honor to capture this intimate and spectacular beach wedding! Congratulations to the newlyweds!!

LANCE AND CHRISTIAN FEATURED IN THE LIMELIGHT | THE FLORIDA AQUARIUM | TAMPA, FL

Lance and Christian met on Valentine’s Day at a local bar through an old roommate, their 2 minute introduction turned into a 4 hour conversation. Lance proposed to Christian and totally surprised him, with close friends and family together at a dinner party in December of 2015. Since they love kayaking, camping, traveling, and hanging out with friends there was no better place than the FL aquarium.  They chose the Aquarium not only for the beautiful setting but also to have an educational venue for the family and friends from out of town.

Lance and Christian had a unique backdrop, the beautiful Coral Reef Tank glowed behind them as they exchanged rings and spoke their vows.  Everyone then gathered in the mosaic room for the dinner and dancing.  One of my favorite parts was the musical number that Lance and his crew surprised Christian with.  It was choreographed with signs, singing and dancing and was a perfect touch to their unique wedding day. Family and friends celebrated the love of these two wonderful men at the wedding and into the night. I am so honored to have been a part of their perfect wedding day! Congratulations Lance and Christian!!
