Jessica + Ricardo Step Into The Limelight | Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach | Clearwater Beach, FL

✨ A Magical Happily Ever After ✨

This Disney-loving couple met on Bumble in 2021 and instantly clicked. Their love story took a fairytale turn when he proposed in front of the iconic Brooklyn Bridge during their anniversary trip to New York City. As competitive as they are, they’ve always been each other’s biggest cheerleaders, sharing a mutual love for Disney trips, basketball, and their playful pup.

Their wedding at the breathtaking Hyatt Clearwater Beach Sky Terrace truly embodied their “Happily Ever After” dream. Inspired by the Cinderella-like views and a perfect blend of Disney and Marvel magic, every detail reflected their personalities and love story. From Disney pins as place cards to a stunning cake and guestbook that captured the nostalgia of Disney princesses, their wedding was uniquely them.

The ceremony, highlighted by their unity candle and emotional first look, brought their love to life. At the reception, their first dance and parent dances had every guest smiling and teary-eyed. A slideshow of old photos and videos added a personal touch, reminding everyone of the journey that brought them together.

What truly made this wedding unforgettable was how it stayed true to who they are. Some may call a Disney and Marvel wedding “crazy or immature,” but this couple knows it’s the magic that makes them unique. They gave their guests a happy, magical, and inclusive experience that no one will ever forget.

Gabby + Chase Step Into The Limelight | Fred Howard Park | Tarpon Springs, Fl

Gabby and Chase's engagement session at Fred Howard Park was a dreamy experience. With the sun setting over the water, they strolled along the sandy shore, laughing and splashing in the waves.

They shared genuine moments—Chase twirling Gabby, her joyful laughter echoing against the backdrop of the beach. The session beautifully reflected their love, marking the beginning of their exciting journey as an engaged couple.

Donna + Casey Step Into The Limelight | Gainesville, FL

A Chilly Engagement Session in Gainesville: Donna & Casey's Love Story

It was a crisp, chilly day in Gainesville—far cooler than what you'd typically expect in Florida, especially for a spring afternoon. A rainstorm had rolled in earlier, ushering in a cold front across the state, but that didn’t stop Donna and Casey from bringing their warm smiles and undeniable chemistry to their engagement session.

Jeff, the photographer, met them a few blocks from downtown, where a vibrant mural reading "Gainesville" made the perfect backdrop. The couple had once called this city home before relocating near Tampa, and they were excited to return to the places that had shaped their relationship. Gainesville had witnessed the early days of their love story, and they were eager to revisit the spots that held so many memories.

Their journey through downtown started at Muñecas Taco Garden, a favorite restaurant where they’d spent many hours together. Sadly, the restaurant had since closed, but the memories of shared tacos and laughter were still vivid. From there, they stopped by Hear Again Records, a local record store, and then headed to Loosey’s, the very place where they had their first date.

As they walked through the downtown streets, Jeff couldn’t help but feel like a witness to their time travel. Each step seemed to take them back to simpler days when they lived in Gainesville, reminding them of the places, the people, and the moments that had shaped their relationship.

The chilly air only seemed to add to the magic of the session. Donna and Casey were so wrapped up in each other, lost in the nostalgia of the moment, that the weather didn’t matter. It was one of those beautiful days where love and history intertwined.

Jeff is beyond excited to capture more of their love story on their wedding day, which will take place in April at the stunning Higgins Hall. It’s clear that this couple’s journey is only just beginning, and Jeff can’t wait to be there for the next chapter.

Lee Anne + Ernest Step Into The Limelight | Safety Harbor Resort & Spa | Safety Harbor, FL

Lee Anne + Ernest met online two years ago, and from that moment, they knew they had found something special. Their love blossomed quickly, and when life threw an unexpected challenge their way a hospital stay for an emergency appendectomy Ernest knew he couldn’t wait for the “perfect” moment to ask Lee Anne to spend forever with him. He proposed the moment he came home, a testament to the truth that life is too short to wait for the right time.

What makes their relationship so beautiful is the deep understanding and laughter they share. They communicate effortlessly, and there’s no one else they’d rather be with whether they’re cheering for their favorite baseball teams, watching Formula 1 races, enjoying quiet evenings at cigar bars, or losing themselves in painting and movies. Their bond is built on trust, joy, and a shared passion for the little things in life.

On their wedding day, the air was filled with the kind of love that only comes from two people who truly understand each other. The ceremony was filled with tender moments, and the celebration that followed was a reflection of their fun loving and warm hearted nature. I was honored to be there to capture every smile, every glance, every laugh each a piece of their perfect story.

Lindsey + Davis Step Into The Limelight | Redington Shores Beach | Redington Shores, FL

Engagement Session Magic at Redington Shores Beach

I had the absolute pleasure of capturing Lindsey and Davis’s engagement session at Redington Shores Beach, and what an experience it was! While the weather was a little on the chilly and windy side, it turned out to be the perfect setting for their photos. The gusts of wind made the waves come alive, creating a dramatic and beautiful backdrop for their shoot.

What I loved most was how the elements of the day helped us all stay present in the moment. As the wind tousled their hair and the waves crashed in the background, Lindsey and Davis’s chemistry really shone through. They were so natural and fun to work with, and by the end of the session, I felt like I had gotten to know them so much better—not just as a couple, but as individuals too.

I can't wait to continue this journey with them on their wedding day at Cross Creek Ranch in Dover, Florida, in just a few short months. It’s going to be an unforgettable day, and I’m beyond excited to capture every moment! Stay tuned for more beautiful memories with these two! ✨
