Keeley + Drew Step Into The Limelight | The Don CeSar | St. Petersburg, FL

November 25, 2020

Drew and Keeley were love at first swipe - they met on Bumble and went on their first date on November 28, 2017. They met for cocktails after work at a bar called Buecherts Saloon on Capitol Hill in DC and shared a kiss under the night sky and fell in love very fast & fiercely!

Keeley joined Drew and his family last November on a trip to the Patagonia.The proposal day involved a strenuous mountain hike up Cerro Llao Llao to a beautiful lookout spot at the top. Keeley was going about it as normal, stopping at every beautiful spot along the way up while secretly Drew was freaking out. When they got to the gorgeous 360 view of the Patagonia mountain tops, Keeley plopped down on

the edge to soak it all in – Drew asked, “are you sure you don’t want to stand up?” Keeley had no idea what was going on so she remained seated. Drew conceded and said slightly under his breath “well then I guess this is as good a place as any…” and right then and there, something incredible happened!!!

The Wedding day came along and knowing just how adventurous and fun this couple was, we knew it would be such a great day from the start! Getting ready with friends and family was definitely so much fun with funny moments, laughs and sweet moments. A first look happened for the couple and it was such a sweet and tender moment for the two (of course they also had a blast and made it funny). Once with each other, we joined the entire bridal party and we made our way to the front of the beautiful Don Cesar to take some pretty epic group shots of everything just having the time of their life together.

Ceremony happened and it was such a beautiful moment and out of no where it started raining!!! Everyone was such a good sport about it and the couple made this little surprise into such a good and unexpected plot twist - they went along with it and made the best out of this funny occurrence! What is better than a rain of blessings from above?!

And just like they had always desired, the two joined their loved ones and the most near-and-dear, at a gorgeous reception. Even though it rained, we were still all able to go outside onto one of the Don Cesar’s patios to dance the night away. It was such a fun and adventurous day with these two love birds, congrats to the newly weds!!!

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

November 24, 2020

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

November 18, 2020

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

November 13, 2020

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!
