Francesca + Felipe Step Into The Limelight | The Italian Club | Tampa, FL

Francesca and Felipe’s Elegant Wedding at The Italian Club in Ybor, Florida

Nestled in the heart of Ybor City, Florida, The Italian Club provided the perfect backdrop for Francesca and Felipe’s classic and romantic wedding day. With its historic charm, beautiful architecture, and rich cultural heritage, the venue set the stage for a celebration that felt both timeless and personal. From the moment guests arrived, it was clear that this would be a wedding to remember.

Francesca and Felipe’s love story is one of deep connection and serendipity. Meeting through mutual friends, their relationship blossomed over shared adventures and a love for Italian cuisine (which made The Italian Club the perfect venue for their celebration). After Felipe’s proposal, the couple immediately knew they wanted their wedding to reflect their personalities — warm, inviting, and full of joy.

A Venue Steeped in History

The Italian Club, with its stunning architecture and historical significance in the Ybor community, provided a beautiful and unique setting for Francesca and Felipe’s nuptials. The ceremony took place in the grand ballroom, where the couple exchanged vows under a canopy of soft lights and delicate florals. The soft, golden glow of the chandeliers added a romantic air to the moment, creating an intimate and memorable atmosphere.

Francesca was a vision in her elegant lace gown, with her hair styled in soft waves that complemented her classic bridal look. Felipe, looking dashing in his tailored black tuxedo, couldn’t take his eyes off his bride. Their vows were exchanged with heartfelt emotion, and their first kiss as newlyweds was met with applause from the family and friends who gathered to celebrate their love.

A Celebration of Love and Family

After the ceremony, the newlyweds and their guests made their way to the reception, where the elegance of the Italian Club truly shined. The space was adorned with elegant floral arrangements, soft candlelight, and touches of gold and ivory that perfectly complemented Francesca and Felipe’s vision for the day.

The reception was filled with joy and laughter, from the couple’s first dance as husband and wife to the heartfelt speeches that celebrated the couple’s bond. A delicious Italian-inspired dinner was served, complete with decadent desserts that delighted every guest. And, of course, the evening wouldn’t have been complete without the dancing, where everyone, young and old, came together to celebrate the couple’s love.

The entire event was a seamless blend of tradition and personal touches, making it clear that Francesca and Felipe’s wedding was a true reflection of their unique love story.

Laura + Nathan Step Into The Limelight | The Westin Tampa Bay | Tampa, FL

A Love That Stood the Test of Time: Laura and Nate’s Journey to the Altar

Some love stories begin with a glance, others with an unexpected bet. For Laura and Nate, it was a combination of both. Fate brought them together in 2004 when they were just 16 years old, working at Westminster Palms, a retirement community. Nate worked in the kitchen, while Laura served meals to the residents. But amidst this routine, something special blossomed.

Their first meeting was a game of chance. Nate’s friends challenged him with a $20 bet to get Laura’s phone number. He took on the challenge—and won, not just the bet but also the beginning of a love that would last for decades. On February 17, 2005, they went on their first date, and from that moment on, their lives were never the same.

Now, exactly 20 years after that first date, Laura and Nate have decided to give this special day even more meaning. On February 17, 2025, surrounded by family and friends, they will finally say the long-awaited “I do.” Their wedding will not only celebrate their love but also the incredible journey they have shared over the years.

Together, Laura and Nate have built a beautiful family, including their two daughters, Jaelyn, 10, and Lucy, 5. Their love story extends beyond just the two of them—it is also about the family they have nurtured and the memories they continue to create.

Every detail of their big day will be filled with meaning, and having the opportunity to capture these unforgettable moments through photography will be an honor. From the knowing glances to the emotional smiles, every snapshot will tell a chapter of this beautiful love story that started with a bet but was always destined to triumph.

May this celebration be just the beginning of another incredible chapter in the life of this couple, filled with happiness and unforgettable moments!

Asia + David Step Into The Limelight | Sandpearl Resort | Clearwater Beach, FL

Some love stories are simply meant to be, and Asia and David’s is one of them. Their journey began in the foundation of a home—literally! Dave, a residential home builder, first met Asia when she hired him to build her dream house. Years later, when she needed an office addition, she called Dave once again. But this time, it wasn’t just about the house; it was about building a life together.

Fast forward to a breathtaking proposal at the end of the Malibu Pier, where the ocean stretched endlessly before them, and Dave asked Asia to spend forever with him. Their love is built on kindness, patience, adventure, and an unshakable commitment to one another. So, it’s only fitting that their wedding day was a perfect reflection of that—classy, elegant, and, most importantly, full of joy.

A Rainy Start, but a Stunning Finish

The Sandpearl Resort in Clearwater, Florida, was the perfect setting for Asia and David’s wedding. They share a love for the water, sailing, and breathtaking sunsets, so it was only natural to celebrate their vows in a place that held so much meaning. While they had envisioned a beach ceremony, Mother Nature had other plans. Just before the ceremony, the skies opened up, and we had to move everything indoors. But in true Asia and David fashion, they embraced the change with grace and excitement. And just when we thought the rain would define the day, the clouds parted, revealing one of the most breathtaking sunsets we’ve ever seen—a stunning reminder that the best moments often come after the storm.

A Celebration of Love and Laughter

From the moment Asia walked down the aisle, emotions ran high. Their vows were heartfelt and deeply personal, and you could feel the love radiating between them. The joy carried into the reception, where family and friends from across the country gathered to celebrate. The evening was filled with laughter, incredible food, and dancing under the warm glow of candlelight.

As a Tampa photographer, I always look for those unscripted moments—the laughter shared between newlyweds, the proud tears of parents, and the little glances that say more than words ever could. Asia and David’s wedding was full of those photojournalistic photography moments, from their stolen kisses under the golden sky to their joyful twirls on the dance floor.

A Love Built to Last

Asia and David’s wedding at the Sandpearl Resort wasn’t just a celebration; it was a testament to the strong foundation they’ve built together. Their love story started with a home, and now, they’ve created a life full of adventure, shared values, and unwavering support for one another.

Asia and David, thank you for allowing Limelight Photography to be part of your incredible day. It was an honor to capture the beauty, the laughter, and the love that surrounded you. Wishing you both a lifetime of sunsets, smooth sailing, and endless adventure together!

Elizabeth + John Step Into The Limelight | Dali Museum | St. Pete, FL

There’s something magical about an engagement session that captures the essence of a couple’s love story, and Elizabeth & John’s session at the iconic Dalí Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida was nothing short of breathtaking. With the museum’s surreal glass architecture as a backdrop, their love took center stage in the most artistic and romantic way.

From the moment we met, it was clear how deeply Elizabeth & John cherish one another. The way they laughed, held each other close, and embraced the moment made for the most genuine and heartfelt photographs. The soft golden-hour light reflecting off the glass, along with the palm trees swaying in the background, added a dreamy touch to their engagement portraits.

As they prepare for their wedding at Sirata Beach Resort, this session was the perfect way to celebrate their journey to “I do.” Sirata Beach Resort, with its pristine Gulf Coast views and relaxed, beachfront ambiance, will no doubt be the perfect setting for their big day.

Elizabeth & John, thank you for allowing us to be part of this special time in your lives! We can’t wait to capture every beautiful moment when you say “I do” this spring.
