Loris Jean + Elijah Step Into The Limelight | The Centre Club | Tampa, FL

A Love Story Written in Elegance | Loris & Elijah’s Unforgettable Wedding at The Centre Club

Some love stories begin with grand gestures, while others start with the simplest of moments—like a glance across the gym at sunrise. For Loris and Elijah, their journey started with a single fateful swipe online, leading to an in-person meeting at the YMCA. Loris, a dedicated 5 AM gym-goer, had no idea that Elijah would surprise her the very next day, arriving at 5:10 AM, just two treadmills apart. From that moment on, their bond grew, setting the foundation for a beautiful future together.

A Proposal as Sweet as Love Itself

On April 27, 2024, Elijah planned an unforgettable evening at Bascom Chop House. As their dinner came to an end, he surprised Loris with a dessert platter—but this was no ordinary dessert. In the center of the plate sat a sparkling engagement ring, marking the beginning of their forever. With love, laughter, and a touch of sweetness, Loris said yes, sealing their fate in the most heartfelt way.

A Wedding of Romance, Elegance, and Meaningful Details

Loris and Elijah envisioned a wedding that was both sophisticated and deeply personal, reflecting their love, faith, and connection with family and friends. Their venue, The Centre Club at The Westshore Grand, provided the perfect blend of urban elegance and natural beauty. The grand atrium, filled with soft natural light and lush greenery, created an intimate yet timeless backdrop for their vows. As the evening progressed, the panoramic skyline views transformed under the golden hues of the setting sun, adding to the romantic atmosphere.

Their wedding theme focused on romantic elegance with a sophisticated touch. The bridesmaids’ flowing gowns mirrored the soft, natural tones of the décor, while the groom and groomsmen donned polished tuxedos, embodying classic refinement.

Gabrielle + Samuel Step Into The Limelight | Wyndham Grand Clearwater Beach | Clearwater Beach, FL

From the moment I met Gabrielle and Samuel, I knew their wedding would be a celebration filled with deep love, warmth, and breathtaking beauty. Their story is one of fate and serendipity—a first date watching the sunset, standing outside for hours, unable to say goodbye. And on their wedding day, that same sunset witnessed the beginning of their forever at the stunning Wyndham Grand Clearwater Beach.

As a Tampa Photographer, I have the privilege of capturing love stories in some of the most picturesque locations, and wedding photography in Clearwater Florida is always magical. Gabrielle and Samuel’s vision for their day was boho chic elegance, blending old-fashioned romance with a modern touch. Though their ceremony took place earlier in the day, they planned a breathtaking sunset session after the ceremony, ensuring that their love story was framed by the stunning colors of the Florida sky.

Gabrielle spent the morning surrounded by love, laughter, and the excitement of what was to come. As she slipped into her gown, her radiant smile spoke volumes. Her dress flowed effortlessly, capturing the essence of beachside elegance, and as the cool Florida breeze set in, the anticipation of seeing Samuel grew stronger.

The ceremony was everything they had dreamed of—emotional, relaxed, in awe, and elegant. When Gabrielle appeared, escorted by her father, Samuel’s reaction was pure love. Their vows, heartfelt and deeply personal, held everyone captive. The sound of waves, the gentle ocean breeze, and the presence of their closest family and friends made the moment even more surreal. It wasn’t just a wedding; it was an experience—a timeless memory in the making.

As the sky turned shades of pink and orange after the ceremony, we captured stunning wedding candids along the shoreline. Photojournalistic photography allows me to document the genuine moments—the unspoken exchanges, the joyful tears, the laughter shared between soulmates. And for Gabrielle and Samuel, these moments were everything.

The celebration continued with an unforgettable reception where love and happiness filled the air. Gabrielle and Samuel danced the night away, surrounded by the people they cherish most. One of the most touching moments was Gabrielle’s dance with her father, a moment of love and gratitude before she fully stepped into this new chapter with Samuel.

Their wedding was more than just a beautiful event—it was a reflection of their journey. The beach, the love of their families, and the overwhelming joy of uniting their loved ones made it uniquely theirs.

Gabrielle and Samuel, it was an honor to document your love story. Your connection is one of a kind, and I know your future will be just as radiant as the sunsets you cherish.
