Elizabeth + James Step Into The Limelight | Lake Rogers County Park Trails | Odessa, FL

Discover the Hidden Gem: A Tampa Love Story Captured by Limelight Photography

In the heart of Tampa lies Lake Rogers County Park Trails, a hidden oasis. This park is brimming with lush greenery, tranquil lakes, and the kind of ethereal sunlight that dreams are made of. This serene haven isn't just a local secret; it's also the perfect backdrop for capturing timeless moments of love and joy. Limelight Photography recently had the privilege of documenting Elizabeth and James' engagement session in this enchanting setting, and the results were nothing short of magical.

Elizabeth and James, a couple whose love story began in 2019, found themselves entwined in each other's arms on the dance floor. It was a Thursday when fate intervened, bringing them together at a swing dance class where James, dapper in a gray jacket and pants, was the instructor. Elizabeth, clad in a black long-sleeved shirt and jeans, couldn't help but be drawn to his charm. Their partnership on the dance floor soon blossomed into something more, and by fall of the same year, they were officially a couple.

Fast forward to New Year's Eve in 2022, a cozy evening spent in pajamas, anticipating festivities with family. Little did Elizabeth know, James had a surprise in store. In the comfort of their kitchen, surrounded by the warmth of their love, James dropped to one knee and asked Elizabeth to spend forever by his side. It was a moment of pure joy and unfiltered emotion, captured forever in their hearts and now immortalized in photographs by Limelight Photography.

Beyond their shared love for dancing, Elizabeth and James enjoy a myriad of hobbies together. From hiking through scenic trails to dancing under the stars, watching movies cuddled up on the couch, to embarking on adventures at Disney World, and exploring new destinations, their bond is strengthened by the experiences they share.

In the bustling streets of downtown Tampa, amidst the serenity of waterfront yoga sessions, Nicole and Chris found more than just friendship. Their journey from work acquaintances to life partners is a tale filled with laughter, shared adventures, and a love that blossomed unexpectedly.

Nicole and Chris met in November 2021, their friendship evolving through a shared passion for yoga.
