CHELSEA AND RYAN FEATURED IN THE LIMELIGHT | THE DALI MUSEUM | ST. PETERSBURG, FL

November 9, 2017

Chelsea and Ryan were married in a beautiful ceremony and reception at the amazing Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, FL! The couple attended an event there and just fell in love with the unique space and knew it would be the perfect place for their modern and formal wedding! The newlyweds said their vows on the landing of the beautiful spiral staircase that leads to the gallery entrances. It was a very special set up for the ceremony as the guests watched the event from the balcony above to look down on where the bride and groom were sharing their vows. After the couple said “I Do!” I was so happy to be able to photograph portraits with them in the garden on a great bench featuring the clocks from “Persistence of Memory” and in the gallery in front of their favorite larger than life Dali paintings. Chelsea’s favorite, “Hallucinogenic Torreador” and Ryan’s favorite, “The Ecumenical Council” made the most beautiful backdrops for their pictures together! The new Mr. and Mrs. celebrated with their closest friends and family on the outdoor terrace with a beautiful view of the ornate glass façade and the very well-known wishing tree! The couple’s head table was even perfectly placed in the center of the infamous mustache sculpture! I am thrilled that I was able to end our night with a few sweet and dramatic shots with the happily married couple on the amazing spiral staircase before they whisked away on their way to continue the celebration! It was a pleasure to capture this beautiful wedding day! Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Blust!

CHRISTINA AND DAVID FEATURED IN THE LIMELIGHT | JW MARRIOTT MARCO ISLAND BEACH RESORT | MARCO ISLAND, FL

November 8, 2017

We had such an amazing time with this beautiful couple on this gorgeous, blue skied day. Just like they had imagined and wished for, the two got married by the beach at the JW Marriott in Marco Beach. Their close family joined the two as they tied the knot while the sun set behind them.

Christina and David met at UFC gym in late October. Dave was the general manager at this gym and one day Christina took a free class in which Dave noticed her. Her free class ended and she was not planning on returning to that gym and Dave knowing this, gave her free passes in order for him to see her just a little more. They got to know each other a bit more after this and soon, Christina fell in love with Dave’s kind heart and really liked the way he calmed her. Dave just knew she was the perfect match for him from the start!So of course, one day while walking their pup at the park, he got on one knee and proposed to her in a very sweet and intimate way.

During their wedding, it was easy to see just how both complimented each other and just how funny they were as a couple. They made each other laugh thru most of their ceremony which made it authentic and simply sweet. During the reception, it was all about spending time with their family and enjoying their new life and bigger family. Congrats to the new Mr. And Mrs.! Wish you to the best of the best and a life full of more funny and sweet moments with each other!

ERIKA AND BRIAN STEP INTO THE LIMELIGHT | DOWNTOWN TAMPA | TAMPA, FL

November 8, 2017

I had a little adventure in downtown Tampa with this gorgeous couple on this cloudy but pretty Sunday evening. Erika, Brian and I started our shoot by the Tampa Museum of Art and made our way around Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park with the cutest little guy, Bentley by their side.

Erika and Brian have the sweetest love connection that was so sweet to witness and easy to capture on camera. Erika is currently a Pharmacy Student and Brian is a firefighter who is now a Driver Engineer. Of course we had to incorporate a firetruck and were lucky to have a station come by with one of their trucks for the session!

They are both originally from Tampa and love this place more than anything. They will be saying their I Do's in October of this coming year and they couldn't be any more excited. Congratulations on your engagement!!!

Keri and Matthew are such a joy to be around, they both light up for each other and their love shines bright. They were so great to photograph on their engagement session. We had so much fun involving Matthew’s beautiful and sharp car under the Tampa sign in downtown then we raced to the Courtney Campbell causeway to capture some beautiful sunset shots by the water.

I am so excited about their upcoming wedding at the Dali Museum later this month where they will say their vows in front of family and friends before having a beautiful reception to celebrate!!

Congratulations Keri and Matthew!!
