Styled Shoot | The CURRENT Hotel, Autograph Collection | Tampa, FL

The gorgeous CURRENT Hotel… 

Limelight Photography had the honor of being a part of a stylized shoot on the Outdoor Bay Deck of  The Current!  💛 This outdoor deck, which overlooks the Tampa Bay, was styled & decorated as it would be for a wedding reception. With the stunning floral centerpieces, wooden tables, and sweetheart table with the words “love you the most” above, this entire setup was absolutely gorgeous! 🤩

The Current creates an evolving, contemporary showcase with expansive panoramic views of the calming waters of Tampa Bay and the bustling city of Tampa. What a joy & honor to photograph his stunning hotel! We look forward to many more weddings at this gorges venue! 💫

Raquel + Kyle Step Into The Limelight | The Florida Aquarium | Tampa, FL

Raquel & Kyle…

They met back in 2016 in Tampa, Florida and have been laughing and loving ever since ♥️
When Kyle was ready to propose to Raquel, he decided to pop the question in front of the entire family at the historical sponge docks in Tarpon Springs, Florida (in front of a HUGE Christmas tree!).
Raquel LOVES Kyle’s sense of humor and kindness and Kyle LOVES Raquel’s supportive attitude towards the things he enjoys (we LOVE us some Raquel, she’s the sweetest thang!)
Both Raquel & Kyle enjoy diving, theme parks, video games and going on random adventures around town.
Raquel’s favorite color is 💜 so she made sure to incorporate her fave color throughout her wedding along with her love for Disney and the movie Tangled. Their wedding day was classy and elegant with lots of pops of color and many many beautiful moments.
We so LOVED meeting these two beautiful fish lovers and we could not have asked for a more perfect dat at The Florida Aquarium, it was drama, it was sweet, it was pre joy and we are here for it!
We wish ALL the best to this amazing couple and may ALL your dreams come true ✨

Corelli + Radford Step Into The Limelight | The Don Cesar | St. Petersburg, FL

Corelli & Radford… such a beautiful LOVE! 

This stunning couple met in 1994 through a long term family friendship. They kept in touch over the years and finally reconnected in 2019 where their friendship grew into a very special relationship. Corelli & Radford both love that they are both loving, caring, free spirited, passionate and family oriented.  Family means everything to them & you could tell on their wedding day how much they loved & cared for each family member! From shopping, going to theme parks and sporting events to listening to different genres of music and going to church, Corelli & Radford simply love doing life together! 

Our beautiful couple held their wedding at the one & only Don Cesar! They loved the Historical and tropical beachfront elegance that the Don Cesar has so it was a stunning venue for their special day. 

Their entire wedding day was based on the true meaning of forever love which is friendship, trust, genuine love & family values. Corelli & Radford also incorporated butterflies all through their wedding decor to represent new beginnings! 🦋 Everything was truly so beautiful!  

During the ceremony, Corelli sang a sweet & beautiful song to Radford which touched everyone’s hearts! Family was at the center of this day and it was so amazing to see this beautiful family come together to celebrate the love of this bride and groom.  🥰

Despite the unpredictable weather we were still blessed with a STUNNING sunset over St. Pete Beach! Corelli and Radford ✨shined✨during this sunset session as they simply enjoyed the moment and each other. They both make each other so happy and that was evident during their entire day. 

Corelli & Radford, we wish you a lifetime of LOVE! 🥂♥️

The Italian Club | Tie the Knot Event | Tampa, FL

We LOVED being a part of the amazing “Tie the Knot” event in Ybor City! 🤩📸 We were honored to photograph the entire setup at the Italian Club as well as showcase at this beautiful & historic venue. 🇮🇹 

The Italian Club immersed guests in the entire wedding experience.  Each floor represented different aspects of a wedding day. For example, the first floor was similar to a cocktail hour, the second floor centered around the ceremony, and finally the third floor was all about the reception! ✨ Each floor had different vendors who showcased their specialty which allowed brides & grooms to walk through and talk to each vendor. The Italian Club was decorated oh so beautifully with a Tuscan & elegant theme. 🤍 What a joy it was to meet so many beautiful brides & grooms and work with all of these amazing vendors who made this day possible!
