A Sun-Kissed Celebration: Keily & Cameron’s Wedding at Innisbrook

Keily and Cameron’s wedding day was nothing short of magical—and let me tell you, the Florida sun came out in full force to celebrate with them. Set at the stunning Innisbrook Golf Resort, the day was a perfect mix of elegance, laughter, and high-energy celebration.

The sun was blazing from the moment the morning began, casting a golden glow over the rolling green hills of the resort. Guests arrived in light linens, fans in hand, and smiles already forming as they took in the gorgeous outdoor ceremony setup. Keily looked radiant walking down the aisle, the sunlight catching every detail of her dress as Cameron beamed at her like he’d just won the lottery (which, honestly, he kind of did)

The reception was bursting with color—think vibrant florals, playful table settings, and a dance floor that lit up both literally and figuratively. The music was on point all night long, with a mix of crowd favorites that had everyone from college friends to grandmas busting a move. It was one of those nights where the playlist felt like it was reading the room’s mood perfectly—building, shifting, and keeping the energy alive.

There were heartfelt toasts, spontaneous dancing, and that kind of joy that just radiates from everyone when the love is real.

By the time the stars came out, guests were not quite ready for the night to end. But like all great stories, this one closed with laughter, hugs, and a sendoff that felt straight out of a movie.

Keily and Cameron’s wedding was more than just a beautiful day—it was a celebration of love, sunshine, good music, and the kind of connection that makes you believe in forever.

Donna and Casey’s Wedding: A Beautiful Celebration of Love and Joy

Having had the privilege of photographing Donna and Caseys engagement session in Gainesville earlier this year, where they first met and fell in love, it felt incredibly special to be part of their wedding day. Their story, filled with love, joy, and meaningful connections, was beautifully reflected throughout the entire celebration.

The day began with an intimate first look at Cancer Survivors Park, just minutes from the ceremony venue. Donna, radiant in her bridal gown, stood surrounded by vibrant red bougainvillea flowers. She first shared this tender moment with her father. Then Donna and Casey had their own first look. Donna could barely contain her excitement as she tapped Casey on the shoulder, their excitement was truly infectious. 

Following the first look, the couple and their families gathered for portraits at the St Lawrence church grounds. The atmosphere was filled with love, making for beautiful family photos that would be cherished for years to come.

The ceremony at St. Lawrence Catholic Church in Tampa was a beautiful and sacred occasion. The church itself, with its timeless beauty, created the perfect backdrop as Donna and Casey exchanged their vows. There is something deeply moving about witnessing a couple pledge their love and commitment in such a meaningful setting. The sacredness of the ceremony, the vows, and the exchange of rings reflected their strong faith and the lifelong promises they were making to one another.

Following the ceremony, the reception at Higgins Hall was a lively and vibrant celebration. The disco theme brought a sense of fun and energy to the evening. Donna and Casey’s first dance was a joyful throwback to the 1960s, setting the tone for the rest of the night. The father-daughter and mother-son dances that followed were beautiful, honoring their families and the love that surrounds them.

The reception was filled with laughter and lots of dancing. There was a photo booth, which was a hit, providing guests with a chance to capture fun group moments. The entire event was a testament to Donna and Casey’s love for each other and their shared joy in being surrounded by their loved ones.

Capturing Donna and Casey’s wedding was truly a privilege. Their love story, filled with moments of joy, faith, and connection, was a beautiful celebration, and I am grateful to have been able to document it. Wishing them both a lifetime of love, laughter, and endless memories.

Mariana + Austin Step Into The Limelight | Hotel Haya + Yacht Starship | Tampa, FL

Mariana and Austin’s wedding was the perfect blend of elegance, joy, and waterfront magic, unfolding in two of Tampa’s most beautiful locations.

The day began at the stylish and charming Hotel Haya in the heart of Ybor City. With its modern touches and vintage soul, the hotel set the tone for a day full of love and celebration. Mariana got ready surrounded by her closest friends, laughter echoing through the suite as makeup brushes swept and champagne flutes clinked. Meanwhile, Austin was just a few floors away, calm and collected, sharing a toast with his groomsmen as the anticipation built.

Their first look took place in the beautiful ballroom hall of Hotel Haya. a moment that felt both intimate and cinematic. As Austin turned to see Mariana for the first time in her gown, time seemed to pause. Their smiles, the soft breeze, the golden Tampa light, it was everything a first look should be: raw, emotional, and unforgettable.

From there, the celebration moved to the water aboard the Yacht StarShip, where the ceremony and reception took place. As guests boarded, they were greeted with panoramic views of Tampa Bay, setting the scene for a sunset ceremony unlike any other. Surrounded by water, with the city skyline in the background, Mariana and Austin exchanged vows on the top deck as the sun dipped low and cast a golden glow over everything.

Once they were officially husband and wife, the party truly began. The Yacht StarShip transformed into a floating celebration — dining, dancing, and starlit moments shared with loved ones. The breeze, the music, the sparkle in everyone’s eyes — it was a night of joy that no one wanted to end.

From the timeless elegance of Hotel Haya to the romantic cruise on the bay, Mariana and Austin’s wedding was more than just a day, it was a story, a dream, and a beautiful beginning!!

Haley + Tyler Step Into The Limelight | Armature Works | Tampa, FL

A Timeless, Yet Modern Love Story at Armature Works

There’s something so special about couples who are simply and deeply comfortable with each other — and Haley and Tyler embody that beautifully. From the moment I met them at Armature Works on their wedding day, I could feel the calm confidence they bring to their relationship — grounded, easy, and full of joy.

Their wedding was the perfect reflection of who they are: classic, laid-back, and deeply in love. From neutral florals to black-tie attire, every element felt intentional. The ceremony took place indoors at the beautiful Armature Works. As a Tampa photographer who’s captured many weddings in this beautiful city, I can honestly say this Tampa wedding venue was the perfect backdrop for this kind of relaxed, timeless celebration.

What stood out most was the way they looked at each other — especially as Haley walked down the aisle. That moment, with their loved ones surrounding them, was pure magic. Capturing those wedding candids and emotional reactions is what I love most about photojournalistic photography — real, unscripted moments that tell the heart of the story.

Haley and Tyler’s vows were filled with tenderness and laughter. And when it came time for their first dance during the reception, you could see just how much fun they have together — always exploring, always laughing, always in sync. They’re self-proclaimed foodies who love discovering new restaurants and adventures together, and that same energy was felt throughout the evening as they danced the night away with friends and family.

From the black-tie palette to the simple yet elegant table settings and florals, everything was beautifully curated without feeling overdone. Their vision of a timeless, yet modern style came to life effortlessly, creating a warm, emotional atmosphere that made guests feel excited, happy, and deeply moved.

As a storyteller behind the lens, moments like these are what I live for — capturing the love, laughter, and little glances that say everything without words. Haley and Tyler, thank you for letting me be part of your day. Your wedding was a true celebration of your journey together, and it was an honor to preserve those memories through wedding photography in Tampa.

Ashley + Mike Step Into The Limelight | Philippe Park | Safety Harbor, FL

Love, Laughter, and a Few Too Many Mosquitoes – Ashley and Mike’s Engagement Story

Some love stories are written in the stars. Others, like Ashley and Mike’s, are written in a beautiful park on a sunny afternoon complete with laughter, romance, and an unexpected army of mosquitoes.

From the moment they arrived at Phillip Park, the scene was set for a perfect engagement session. The golden sunlight filtered through the trees, birds sang their love songs, and a gentle breeze carried the sweet scent of wildflowers. But nature had one surprise in store mosquitoes, and lots of them!

Despite the uninvited guests, Ashley and Mike made the most of every moment. Between romantic glances and stolen kisses, there were plenty of swats, giggles, and exaggerated mosquito-dodging dances that had everyone laughing.

But amidst all the laughter, one thing was clear these two are absolutely perfect for each other. The way they light up in each other’s presence, the way their laughter intertwines, and the way they embrace even the most unexpected moments with joy is a testament to their love.

As the sun dipped lower, casting a golden glow over the park, we captured some of the most magical and authentic moments between them. A love so natural, so full of warmth, and yes just a little itchy.

Congratulations,  Ashley and Mike! May your love always be filled with sunshine, laughter, and just the right amount of adventure (but hopefully, fewer mosquitoes!).
