Morgan + Chase Step Into The Limelight | Palmetto Riverside Bed and Breakfast + Pier 22 | Palmetto, FL

Morgan and Chase met in 2010 through a mutual friend. They were all hanging out one night and Chase asked their mutual friend for Morgans phone number. Originally, Morgan mistook Chases quietness for being rude and was unsure about letting her friend give him her phone number BUT she eventually said yes….and here we are!

Morgan and Chase really cherish that they share the same morals and values. Like putting God first! Church and family are both important to them. Morgan loves how calm and laid back Chase is…because…Morgan is not! Chase is always there for Morgan no matter what. He always helps her with whatever she needs. Morgan loves Chase’s bald head, warm hugs, and sweet kisses. Chase loves how Morgan is a caring person and always puts others before herself. He loves how they can joke around, laugh, and have such a good time together regardless of what they are doing. Chase says, “We were made for each other!’ <3

Chase proposed to Morgan at her favorite park, Disney’s Animal Kingdom! They were in line to get a group picture and when it was their turn, Chase dropped down to one knee. Then his mom and two sisters came walking up to them while having her grandparents on FaceTime. It was surprise perfection!

Chase and Morgan had a classy southern wedding at the Palmetto Bed and Breakfast and so much love was felt throughout the day and night. There is no doubt that #Morganlovesthechase!

Congratulations on becoming husband and wife Morgan + Chase!

Rachel + James Step Into The Limelight | Sacred Heart Catholic Church + Floridan Palace | Tampa, FL

Rachel + James met each other as teammates on the high school cross-country team. James asked Rachel to the Military Ball and the rest is history.  They usually spend their days at the beach, working out, or snuggling up on the couch with a good movie. They love each other's personalities and how they make each other laugh. 

Rachel + James ceremony location has a special meaning for them because Rachel's grandparents were married at the same church. Sacred Heart Church was decorated beautifully with sparkling Christmas lights and bright red poinsettias. The perfect backdrop for Rachel + James to say "I Do". 

Rachel + James had their reception at the historic Floridan Hotel. It was a night full of laughter, dancing and--most importantly-- love.  

Congratulations!

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

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

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

✨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…
