beautiful views.The groom was in a royal blue suit and and the groomsmen were in a different shade of blue that accentuated the groom.The bride wore an elegant dress with a long train. Lots of flowers, tall centerpieces with more flowers, Champagne linens, candles.... . It was elegant, classy, romantic, and lots of FUN FUN FUN!!!

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.

Jessica and Jose met on 11/17/2017 in Ybor city at Gaspar Grotto. Jessica loves Jose's caring and loving personality. I also love his New York accent especially when he says "cawfee," "silva," "New Yawk" or when he tells me he's standing on line at a store (not in line). Jose makes me a better person everyday.



Jose loves how Jessica always thinks of others before herself. How she is so caring, loving and has the warmest heart he has ever met. How she loves his family like her own. He loves that she's a sports fan and how she will try almost anything once. Go Yankee! Go Big Blue! Go Rangers!

They love to be outside, either at the beach, riding their jet ski, ridin' naked in their Jeep (not really naked, just with the tops off the jeep).They also love to travel, go to sporting events, and explore new places!

Jose, along with Jessicas parents threw a graduation party for her completing her Masters Degree in Nursing, as well as a celebration for passing the state board exam to become a Nurse Practitioner. It was a beautiful night overlooking Tampa Bay, and after Jessica's father and step-father said a few words, Jose took to the microphone to also recognize her achievements.Then, in front of family and friends, with an already prepared proposal (which went out the door), Jose dropped to one knee and proposed.You may see highlights from their engagement session at Hotel Zamora here.

Favorite details about the wedding included, of course the venue their “my must have staircase”.Their favorite part of the day was saying "I do" and celebrating with their family and friends, near and far.

Mary + Mike Step Into The Limelight | Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church + Safety Harbor Resort and Spa | Safety Harbor, FL

What a beautiful day! Mary and Make exchanged their vows at Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church surrounded by both of their families, and then partied the night away at the Safety Harbor Resort & Spa. The whole day was filled with so much love and emotion.  There wasn’t a dry eye in the room when the bride’s nephews walked her down the aisle. The groom’s family also had a special role. His cousin Evan and his wife Deena were the couple’s Koumbari, also known as “sponsors” in the Greek Orthodox Ceremony.  The Greek traditions continued throughout the night and Mary and Mike had the absolute BEST time dancing to their amazing band. It was absolutely a night to remember! Cheers to the new Mr. and Mrs. Haleas 💗

Sarah + Ian Step Into The Limelight | The Ringling Museum | Sarasota, FL

After having to postpone their wedding only 2 days before the big day, Sarah and Ian just couldn’t wait and got married in her parents’ dining room! They have plans for a big wedding one day, but for now are just enjoying each other and enjoying the married life.  We got together to take some beautiful portraits of the couple at the Ringling Museum, followed by meeting up with their loved ones at Bayfront Park for some family formals.  It was so special to be in Sarasota for these photos surrounded by banyan trees, since Ian proposed at a banyan tree in St. Pete. Wishing Mr. and Mrs. Fletcher nothing but the best!!

Caitlin + Peter Step Into The Limelight | Christ the King Catholic Church + The Tampa Club | Tampa, FL

A modern day love story, Caitlin and Peter met by swiping right on Hinge. Funny enough, they both “swiped right” on the right person because here we are three days later! On their first date, they didn’t order for three hours because they could not stop talking to each other.

On 6/27/2020, Peter and Caitlin went to a party hosted by Peter’s mom. They went out to the dock to watch sunset. Peter subtly mentioned that he wanted to marry her to which Caitlin reminded him that he had to get her father’s permission. Peter got down on one knee and said “I already did”. The party was actually a secret engagement party!

Caitlin and Peter love binging TV shows, going to trivia nights and just having fun with each other, even if they come from opposing colleges (FSU & UF).

Caitlin and Peter’s wedding day was filled with love and laughter. Tara and I both said that you could literally feel the love coming from everyone involved. From the Priest singing a custom theme song during the ceremony to Caitlin's dad giving one of the best Father of the Bride’s speeches we have ever heard, it was hard to not find a smile on everyone’s face. Congrats to the Bradys!
