Ngan + Mike Step Into The Limelight | Hunsader Farms | Bradenton, FL

Ngan and Mike, what a picture-perfect couple for a picture-perfect session location! This may just be the prettiest place I’ve ever taken engagement photos.

Ngan and Mike got engaged in November of 2022 and are tying the knot in November of 2023! We are so excited to photograph their wedding day, but in the meantime it was so much fun to photograph their incredible engagement session. These two are so kind and you can truly tell that they love each other. In between taking photos, they’d give each other hugs, laugh together and smile. It was such a fun atmosphere to be a part of.

We can’t wait until the fall when I’ll see these two again, except they’ll be tying the knot!

Janelle + Jeff Step Into The Limelight | Lido Beach Resort | Sarasota, FL

What a beautiful, love + family-filled day!

Janelle and Jeff are from Rhode Island, and so were the majority of their guests (aside from Janelle’s sweet parents). This ultimately means that their friends and family are absolutely amazing and took the time to travel from afar to celebrate this wonderful couple! Janelle and Jeff were thrilled to be surrounded by their favorite people on one of their biggest days.

A beach ceremony, a classy reception, LOTS of dancing and laughter, and let’s not forget about the incredible sunset. Truly a perfect day. We are so happy for Janelle and Jeff and their union! We wish them so much fun as they have their honeymoon here in Florida (Wedding + honeymoon all in one! You can’t go wrong with a post-wedding celebration on the gorgeous Sarasota beaches!).

Congratulations to these sweet souls.

Allie + Justin Step Into The Limelight | THE BIRCHWOOD | ST. PETERSBURG, FL

“So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.” —Matthew 19:6.

In 2021, Allie and Justin both found themselves on Hinge. They ended up connecting, meeting, and clicking right away. These two made it official at the end of 2021 and just a little over a year later, Justin proposed!

Justin decided to coordinate with his sister to take photos. Justin’s sister likes photography and so Justin and Allie went to the St. Pete Pier for a photo shoot. At one point, Allie was posed so that she was facing out at the water, and Justin got down on one knee for when she turned around. Right after that sweet surprise, Justin had another planned! Little did Allie know that Justin also had a surprise engagement party set up with their families back at his apartment.

These two had such a sweet wedding celebration at the Birchwood in St. Pete, just a couple of blocks away from where they got engaged! With family photos outdoors in the park, a ceremony set up inside, a cocktail hour of the roof (so beautiful!), and an indoor reception, everything went so smoothly.

These two had so much fun breaking in the dance floor with their friends and family, and we hope that married life is just as sweet and fun! Congratulations to this sweet pair!

Almery + Zachary Step Into The Limelight | THE DON CESAR | ST. PETERSBURG, FL

Happily ever after…

During my first call with Almery, she said that their wedding day, though it would be beautiful, joyous and family/friend-filled, wouldn’t be the biggest day of their lives—because they are there for each other every day of the year. I really love that. 

Almery and Zach are both ambitious, family-orientated people, meaning that their wedding day was not only incredible and decorated like something out of a wedding magazine, but also that they were surrounded with friends + family who traveled from abroad to witness their union (as Almery is from Argentina), lots of smiles and hugs, and loved ones bursting with celebration!

These two first met in December of 2019 on Hinge. Their first date was actually in Almery’s restaurant in Tampa and she cooked while they had their date (I told you they were ambitious!). In September of 2021 is when they got engaged in the most romantic way ever… during a hot air balloon ride over Disney!

Everything from their engagement story, to their wedding day vows and friends’ speeches shows you how kind these two are. How in love they are! We adore this beautiful pair and wish them a lifetime of success, in both love and in their business!

Congrats to the Morrison’s!
