Molly + Austin Step Into The Limelight | St. Bernard Catholic Church + Resort at Longboat Key Club | Longboat Key, FL

Get to know the gorgeous Molly & Austin…

How did he propose: Austin took me to Dumbarton Oaks, an estate in Georgetown, on my 20th birthday to see the property and most specifically the rose gardens (for Molly Rose of course). Unfortunately when we got there the roses had an unusual season and did not bloom. Austin promised that we would be together long enough he would take me to see plenty of rose gardens. 5 years later shortly after moving to LA together we went to another estate with all different gardens. When we got to the rose gardens Austin reminded me of the story before telling me he wanted to make a new promise now: to spend the rest of our lives together! 

What do you love about each other: We love how each other can make us laugh no matter what and always supports the other in all their endeavors in life. We are each others best friend! 

Interests/hobbies you enjoy doing together: Hiking, walking, running, swimming, and going out to a nice meal... and singing much to our neighbors dismays.

These two really are amazing! They are the sweetest people… they are both soft-spoken and just so nice to be around… they just smiled all day long it was so beautiful for us to witness their love for each other.

We were surrounded by loved ones and beauty, the decor was simply stunning and delicately beautiful in every way. We LOVED being a part of such beautiful moments during Molly & Austin’s wedding day. Cheers to this sweet couple!

Katey + Jaime Step Into The Limelight | Hyde Park Presbyterian Church + Jackson's Bistro, Bar & Sushi | Tampa, FL

Katey & Jaime met at a Christmas luncheon a while back… and the rest is pure bliss.

Jaime decided to propose to Katey during a beautiful Sarasota Florida sunset, he then surpassed Katey with a dinner with all their families and best friend.
They absolutely LOVE  everything about each other and have the cutest son together. They  love spending time with their families and son and love going out for dinner and drinks (so the proposal was perfect!).
Katey & Jaime wanted an intimate celebration for their wedding day and that is just what they needed… they had a very beautiful traditional ceremony at Hyde Park Presbyterian Church and they enjoyed a very relaxed and intimate dinner at Jackson's Bistro, Bar & Sushi with their families and close friends. It was traditional meets modern right in the heart of  Tampa Downtown. It was a day filled with lots of love and the key word was “family”… simple but completely elegant and classic. We LOVED being a part of Katey & Jaime’s special and wish them both all the goodness in the world! Cheers to newlyweds!

Eva + Tom Step Into The Limelight | Craig Park + Sunset Beach | Tarpon Springs, FL

Eva and Tom met while working at the same ICU in Harlem, NY. Tom is originally from Alabama, and Eva is from right here locally in Tarpon Springs. She lives just moments from Craig Park and Sunset Beach, so these were PERFECT locations for their engagement session.  

Together they enjoy walking, reading and taking their dogs on walks. I also just have to mention that Eva is Greek and this is another reason Tarpon Springs was so perfect for their session! Their wedding ceremony will be at St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church - which is where Michael and I were married ourselves! We just really loved working with this sweet couple!

Tom is currently living in Texas on a COVI-19 contract, so we had a very limited window to schedule our session. It started to rain the afternoon of our session, but thankfully it blew over and left behind some super fluffy clouds. The most amazing part is that we had beautiful diffused light throughout the session. 

Because of the extreme cloud coverage, I did not think we would see an actual sunset. This was kind of disappointing because in all of  Tom’s visit to see see Eva here in Florida he has never experienced a sunset like we are famous for! Every time it was either overcast and too cloudy to see the sun, or NO clouds at all and just a big blu plain sky. Well….the last 5 minutes of our session the clouds parted and the sun came out shining a brilliant orange as it set over the Gulf of Mexico! It was brilliant and beautiful and the PERFECT end to our time together!

Congratulations Tom and Eva! I know Dafne is so excited to photograph your wedding September!
