Jennifer + John Step Into The Limelight | Private Residence | Odessa, FL

What a stunning celebration we had with Jennifer and John!
Jennifer spotted John at an Irish Pub six years ago. She mentioned him to a friend, who bravely went up to John to introduce him to Jennifer. Even though they spent the entire night chatting, they spent the next two years being friends on Facebook. Jennifer finally agreed to let John take her out after many attempts and a run-in. Here we are six years later and they have been inseparable ever since. John proposed to Jennifer during at a family campfire, surrounded by family with their song playing.
The couple was married at a close friend’s house, which was perfect for the day. It was full of family, friends and love. It was an honor to capture these special moments.

Jessica + Jose Step Into The Limelight | The Hotel Zamora | St. Petersburg Beach, FL

We LOVE what we do and and we really ENJOY our clients!!!!! What looked like was going to be a gray cloudy day turned into a beautiful sunset engagement portrait session. Congratulations Jessica and Jose! You two are a wonderful couple!!!!! Can’t wait for your wedding day!

Jessica is a nurse practitioner and Jose is a retired NYC detective. Two such noble professions, for which we are grateful for their service to our country! Jose was born and raised in NYC and then had family move to Tampa about 15 years ago, and he moved down about three years ago.  Jessica was born in Michigan, but has been in Florida since she was three years old. 

This precious couple met at a bar in Ybor during the infamous Tampa celebration of Gasparilla. During a graduation party for Jessica, Jose proposed in front of all their friends and family on the rooftop of the new CURRENT hotel,  with panoramic views of  Tampa Bay. It seemed only suiting to select a location with a view of the ocean for their engagement session as well! 

Their home is a house divided in only one way - and that is with sports! It is a Yankees/Rays and Giants/Bucs household! This fun-loving couple have a fun, completive spirit and they also enjoy traveling and the beach. 

We began their session at the first boutique hotel to be built in St. Pete Beach in decades, The Hotel Zamora. This white-washed Mediterranean palace offers up breathtaking architecture anchored in a bygone era. Inspired by its namesake Spanish province, the hotel’s striking Romanesque façade is the framework for luxury overlooking the Intracoastal Waterway and the Gulf of Mexico.

Nicole + Thomas Step Into The Limelight | Cross Creek Ranch | Dover, FL

It was such a pleasure being present at Nicole and Thomas’s wedding held at Cross Creek Ranch in Florida. These two beautiful and lively souls met at a mutuals friend’s birthday party and they quickly caught interest in each other. Thomas loves how thoughtful, caring and loving Nicole is and says she makes him feel like a better person when they are together. Nicole loves how easy going Thomas is, how adventurous, and supportive he has always been with her and she adores him for that.

This fun and laid back couple started their wedding day getting ready with their loved ones around them. In between laughs and funny moments, the two got ready for the big day. The ceremony time came around and guest walked through a garden to get to the Enchanted Forest where Nicole and Thomas would say the I-Do’s. It was the fairytale wedding the couple had always desired and it was definitely magical!

The party time came and this was held inside the most magnificent barn with string lightings covering the ceiling, barn inspired decor, with clocks and floral center pieces. The cake was beautiful placed on a rustic furniture piece and decorated in a way that described the couple (with a silly twist of course!). Guests enjoyed the night with the new mr. and mrs and they all had fun dancing and singing. It was such a great night, one that will live in their hearts! Congratulations to the newlyweds!

Brooke + GT Step Into The Limelight | St. Andrew's Episcopal Church + The Italian Club | Tampa, FL

Brooke and GT met at the University of Florida and become fast friends. They were friends for awhile, but eventually their relationship evolved into something more (which surprised no one, including Brooke’s parents). They have been inseparable ever since.
After traveling all over the world, they took a trip to London. On December 20th, GT proposed to Brooke during a picture perfect picnic. The couple shares a love for travel, fishing, sports and their two pups, Bear and Kaia. 
Brooke and GT were surrounded by people they love the most on their wedding day. It was a pleasure to be a part of their day and wish them all the best on this next chapter.

Rebekah + Chris Step Into The Limelight | Hyatt Clearwater Beach Resort and Spa | Clearwater Beach, FL

Rebekah & Chris met 8 years ago through mutual friends and they hit it off!

 First becoming the best of friends, they both never thought anything would happen outside the friend stage. Little did they know they would start falling for each other. 

 As time went on both these two “fell in love, and he fell in love with my children” as Rebekah says.

Chris made sure that Rebekah’s children Seth and Shannon took part when Chris proposed. Being that the one thing they’ve all been wanting, is to be one big family. 

Being best friends has definitely carried into their relationship as they continue to laugh together just as they did when they first met. Their wedding was a perfect example of what “being in love with your best friend” looks like!

Rebekah & Chris love watching football, hockey and golf. They also love to go boating and to be outdoors and we LOVED meeting them both! They know how to have fun and their wedding day was a “good time”. Once they saw each other it was clear to us that they adore each other… we could not be happier for Rebekah & Chris and we wish ALL the good in world for this stunning couple. Cheers!
