Emily + Vinny | Step Into The Limelight | Rialto Theater | Tampa, FL

January 21, 2020

I love me some Emily & Vinny ♥️
I first met Emily during a styled shoot for Milan Catering. Emily is a wedding planner and we clicked right away as we worked together during the session. At that point I could not have imagined I would be photographing her very own special moments as a stunning bride.
I met Vinny during their engagement session along with their cute lil pup Pim… it was so nice getting to know the one who swept Emily off her feet and let me tell you… even though they met on Tinder (ha!) they are absolutely perfect for each other. Emily has such a natural way of being calm in the middle uncertainties (honestly, no one would ever know anything unplanned is happening!) She just has a way of gently fixing a situation and moving things along… Vinny on the hand NEEDS his Emily by his side. He makes her smile (constantly!) and Emily is able to truly enjoy each moment with him. They compliment each other beautifully. She plans, he smiles and melts her heart ♥️
Their wedding day was incredibly beautiful… the bright reds and golds made it so classic! The rustic feel of the venue made it so glam and gave us all Old Hollywood. Each little detail was carefully thought out and the end result was just gorgeous in every way.
I am still in awe that I was trusted to photograph Emily & Vinny’s dream wedding.
I wish you both ALL good things… cheers to many beautiful memories together!

Molly + Austin Step Into The Limelight | The Ringling | Sarasota, FL

January 21, 2020

These two! I just absolutely loved meeting them for their engagement session at The Ringling… they are planning their wedding all the way from Boston MA and are just enjoying each moment of it all!
They were visiting family for the holidays and decided to do their engagement while in town.
Two words for these two… calm and collected! They are so aware of their love for each other that they are just Molly & Austin together, they both are so comfortable and nothing is overdone. It’s simply and purely perfect… They will be getting married at Longboat Key Club in April of 2021 and I truly cannot wait to witness Molly walking towards Austin down the aisle… it’s going to be a memorable one!

Karen + Daniel Step Into The Limelight | Kapok Special Events | Clearwater, FL

January 8, 2020

✨𝓒𝓱𝓻𝓲𝓼𝓽𝓶𝓪𝓼 𝓜𝓪𝓰𝓲𝓬 ✨

You know that warm and fuzzy feeling you get during the holidays? You know the colors and smells you cannot live without during this time of year? The happiness and joy everyone around you cannot contain?
That was Karen & Daniel’s wedding day… their Christmas themed wedding was evident all around, from the handmade ornaments, to the twinkling lights, greens, yellow and reds. Karen even placed Christmas scented wall plugs all around the reception room so her guest could smell the season’s goodness. Even Santa made an arrival!
But more important than that… Karen & Daniel were surrounded by 𝓵𝓸𝓿𝓮…
They said their vows at the magical Kapok and they danced the night away in the main ballroom which reminded them of Disney’s “Beauty & the Best”. (They are both crazy about Disney movies).
Their dreams came true and they now can enjoy their happy ever after.
Enjoy your adventures in the great wide somewhere…

Jennifer + Eduardo Step Into The Limelight | Marco Beach Ocean Resort | Marco Island, FL

December 31, 2019

Jennifer & Eduardo are gorgeous together! We loved being a part of their love story at Marco Beach Ocean Resort… Their special day included “all their favorites things”…dinner dates, traveling and going to the beach . They said their I Do’s surrounded by their families and close friends and they made sure to enjoy each moment with their loved ones. This classic and elegant wedding was simply stunning, we love the whites with touches of blush and gold and the rustic greenery is always the best finishing touch… We wish Jennifer & Eduardo all the sweet things in life. Enjoy it ALL!

Roselle + Marcus Step Into The Limelight | Hotel Zamora | Saint Pete Beach, FL

December 16, 2019

She’s from New York and he’s from Florida…
They met each other at the gym, well you know that kind of “meet” you do at the gym… you see each other for a while until one of you finally work up the courage to say “hello”.
Thankfully for Roselle, Marcus made the first move and started a conversation… coincidently they saw each other at the mall a few days later {{a simple case of fate}} Fast forward and many conversations later… Marcus planned their proposal at the Empire State Building in New York {{so fitting!}}
Their engagement session was very relaxed and filled with very meaningful moments as they incorporated the Empire State Building and champagne on the beach… one cannot help but have a good time.
We cannot wait for their wedding in May of 2020 at Our Lady of Angels Catholic Church and The Grove in Lakewood. Enjoy your engagement and wedding planning you two!
