Vanessa + Ebby Step Into The Limelight | University of Tampa | Tampa, FL

Limelight Photography had the pleasure of photographing Vanessa and Ebby's engagement session. Vanessa and Ebby, originally from Jamaica, have a love story that shines with authenticity and warmth. 🇯🇲 They wanted their engagement photos to reflect their genuine connection, focusing on natural light and minimal airbrushing for a soft documentary style.

We met at the University of Tampa on a beautiful summer day, drawn to its stunning brick architecture and picturesque surroundings. The campus provided a perfect backdrop for capturing the intimate moments between the couple. The photos felt candid and natural, bathed in a light that highlighted the timeless and romantic quality of their love.

The session concluded with a sultry night shoot, adding a touch of sophistication and allure to their photo collection. We are beyond excited to continue this journey with Vanessa and Ebby as they prepare for their wedding this September at Sacred Heart Catholic Church and Hotel Haya.

Carly + Kacper Step Into The Limelight | Sand Key Beach | Clearwater, FL

There’s something truly magical about engagement sessions, and when you add a special location and a talented young assistant, it becomes an unforgettable experience. Recently, Gia (my incredible 11-year-old daughter with an amazing eye for photography) and I had the pleasure of capturing the love story of Carly and Kacper at Sand Key Beach.

Carly and Kacper's journey together started in the most charming of ways—at a dog park. Who knew that a casual stroll with their furry friends would lead to such a beautiful love story? From that serendipitous meeting, their relationship blossomed, filled with shared adventures and countless cherished moments.

Kacper knew he wanted to make his proposal as special as Carly is to him. He chose the perfect setting: a sunset cruise on their boat in the stunning Florida Keys. As the sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky with shades of orange and pink, he asked Carly to spend forever with him. Her answer was a joyous yes, marking the beginning of their journey to forever.

When asked what they love most about each other, Carly and Kacper both agree—everything! It's a love that shines through in every glance and smile they share. Their shared interests and hobbies bring them even closer. Whether they’re boating, enjoying beach days, surfing, fishing, traveling, or even dancing (not necessarily well!) in the kitchen, every moment together is filled with joy and laughter.

Our engagement session took place at the picturesque Sand Key Beach, overlooking the JW Marriott Clearwater Beach Resort & Spa. This stunning location is not only a perfect backdrop for their engagement photos but also the venue where Carly and Kacper will tie the knot in May 2025. The session was filled with laughter, love, and the soft glow of the setting sun, creating beautiful memories captured through our lenses.

Capturing Carly and Kacper's love story was an honor and a joy, made even more special by having my daughter Gia by my side.

Allyssa + Chris Step Into The Limelight | Anna Maria Island | Manatee County, FL

As a lead photographer, every session tells a unique story, and Allyssa and Chris's engagement shoot at Bean Point on Anna Maria Island was nothing short of magical. The day unfolded with a symphony of natural beauty and heartfelt moments, making it a joy to capture through my lens.

The scene was set against the picturesque backdrop of Bean Point, where the sun-kissed waves danced playfully along the shore. Allyssa and Chris were a vision of happiness, their laughter mingling with the gentle rustle of the sea breeze. They splashed in the waves together, their joy palpable as they explored the dunes and the lush, vibrant grass surrounding us.

Nature seemed to celebrate with us that day, adorning the sky with a brilliant rainbow that arched gracefully overhead. As the sun began its descent, painting the sky in hues of pink and orange, Allyssa and Chris's love seemed to glow even brighter.

For me, as a photographer, these moments are pure gold. Capturing the intimacy and connection between two people who are deeply in love is a privilege that never ceases to inspire me. Allyssa's radiant smile and Chris's tender gaze spoke volumes about their journey together and the excitement of the journey ahead.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting its final rays of golden light across the water, I couldn't help but feel grateful to have witnessed and preserved these memories for Allyssa and Chris.
