Rachel + Brandon Step Into The Limelight | Sandpearl Resort | Clearwater Beach, FL

Rachel and Brandon met on Valentine's Day in 2014. They were at Dixie Roadhouse, line dancing and Brandon bumped in to Rachel and said, "There should be a yee-haw" here. The sparks never stopped flying from that point forward. These two love traveling, concerts, and socializing together whenever possible and that translated into their wedding. This was a party for the century! From CO2 Cannons to Cold Sparklers, this wedding had it all. There were ice sculptures, a mosaic photo booth, and plenty of dancing. This was a bold, beautiful celebration that was 8 years in the making and Brandon and Rachel deserved it all. They were such a kind and loving pair and I would work with them again in a heartbeat. Best wishes to this wonderful couple!

Kirsten + Jackson Step Into The Limelight | Isla del Sol Yacht & Country Club | St. Petersburg, FL

ohh people… you have got to het to know this ahhhmazing couple!

Kirsten & Jackson ♥️

How/when did you meet each other:: We met in 2015 in Pittsburgh during Kirsten's senior year at the University of Pittsburgh through pure fate. Jackson's groomsman, Alex Baker, was dating (now engaged) to Kirsten's Maid of Honor, Cori Plesko (then college roommate), and Jackson was recently stationed at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base about 3 hours away in Ohio. Baker was in Pittsburgh visiting Cori, and invited Jackson out to visit... After that weekend, Jackson just kept visiting Pittsburgh to see Kirsten…

How did he propose:: Jackson was at Air Force Reserves training in Biloxi, MS in the summer of 2020. Kirsten LOVES the beach and visited for Labor Day weekend along the gulf coast. We had an private sunset dinner cruise Thursday, woke up Friday for a long sunrise run together, enjoyed the beach during the day, took out jet skis, surf and turf dinner, and finished with a sunset walk on a secluded beach with an amazing view where we came across a blanket, champagne and Jackson dropped a knee.

What do you love about each other:: Kirsten is driven, smart, and constantly challenges me to become a better person. Jackson is selfless, loyal, loving and my best friend who brightens my days constantly.

Interests/hobbies you enjoy doing together:: Running, hiking, kayaking, brewery hopping, traveling to new places, watching movies

When I tell you… I instantly feel in love with these people! Yes… whole truth! The are sincere, kind, sweet, caring, loving… all that oouuie goouiie stuff! Yes! These two and their families. Their wedding day didn’t go as planned due to an unexpected Florida storm but that didn’t even faze them… they laughed they danced and true enjoyed every single moment of their day with the people they love. 

We are honored to have been a part of Kirsten & Jackson’s love journey and we wish both ALL good things in ALL they do. Cheers to an amazing, I mean ahhhmazing couple!

Jessica + Chris Step Into The Limelight | Downtown St. Petersburg, FL

Ohh sweet Jessica & Chris!
These two just absolutely make me smile 😊 I just love their gentleness and pure hearts.
We met at the Dali Museum in Downtown St.Pete for their engagement session and we got to share many laughs and precious moments together… we ended the session over at the “ever growing and super popular” St. Pete Pier and ohh my ohh my… it was such a perfect backdrop to celebrate the two.

Jessica & Chris will be tying the knot in April of 2023 at the Tampa Bay Watch overlooking our gorgeous Bay.
I am so happy and excited to celebrate these two! Congratulations on your engagement 🎉

Kaya + Brian Step Into The Limelight | Town Manor on the Lake | Auburndale, FL

Brian and Kaya first met in 2014 at USF, where Brian was pursuing his B.S in Physics, and Kaya was completing her Ph.D in Physics. They met in the lab of Dr. George Nolas (in attendance), but were both quite busy at the time and did not end up dating until 2016 after they had both graduated. They then later moved to Tallahassee together in 2017 with Kaya working at FSU and Brian Pursuing his Masters in Mechanical Engineering. 

Talk about a smart couple! Smart AND kind, these two are a beautiful pair that were clearly made for each other. They accent each other like two pieces of a puzzle. Throughout the day they were constantly making sure not only their partner, but everyone in attendance was having a good time. Everyone in attendance had a blast, and Brian and Kaya were the most stunning couple. The ceremony was bright and beautiful (albeit a tad windy), and the reception was cozy and love-filled.

I am so blessed to have been a part of their special day and would do it again in a heartbeat.

Alexa + Luis Step Into The Limelight | Powel Crosley Estate | Sarasota, FL

Our Associate Photographer Alexa 📷 got married! AND Yes! We are here for it!

Alexa & Luis met freshmen year of high school and were close friends, they even partnered together their Senior Year for a “marriage project” and had a fur baby 🥰 They didn't start dating until a few years later when they were in College.

Soon after Luis tricked Alexa into thinking he was planning “fall photos” at the pumpkin patch where Alexa had been photographing fall mini photo sessions but he ended up popping the question right then and there. It was perfect! Both of their families and their puppy were there, and Luis surprised Alexa even more by having a party at Alexa’s aunt’s house afterwards with more family and friends! 

Luis loves that Alexa is willing to work as hard to build the best future for themselves and their future children. “She’s simply the best!” 🥰 Alexa loves that Luis is one of the most dedicated and hardworking people she know, he never fails to make her laugh, and that he pushes her to be her very best!

Alexa & Luis’ favorite thing to do is travel!! They also love hanging out with their puppy, and trying out new restaurants for date nights.

Their wedding day felt timeless and dreamy… the Powel Crosley Estate transported us to an elegant and vintage chic moment filled with BIG emotions, thoughtful details and most importantly familia! Each moment, each hug, each smile… they were all exactly what Alexa & Luis needed.

We truly are beyond excited and happy that one of our very own tied the knot and we were able to experience this one-of-a-kind day with Alexa & Luis. We wish you both, goodness & joy in all you do. Cheers!
