Lynn + Bruce Step Into The Limelight | Wyndham Grand Clearwater Beach | Clearwater, FL

Lynn & Bruce - A Love That Speaks Through a Gaze

I may not know how Lynn and Bruce met, or the full story that brought them to this day but what I do know is that I witnessed one of the most incredible chapters of their journey: their wedding day.

From behind my lens, I saw something rare. Their gaze alone told a story richer than any words could express. In fact, it felt like words weren’t even necessary. Every time Lynn and Bruce looked at each other, there was something magnetic, something timeless happening between them.

Throughout the entire celebration, they were locked in eye contact completely present, completely in love. There were no forced poses, no fake laughter, and no staged kisses. Everything was real. Everything was pure. Everything felt magical when they were together.

As a photographer, I’m always honored to witness love. But this was something else. Their connection moved me in ways I didn’t expect. I found myself emotional more than once. They reminded me that love has no age limit that joy, passion, and connection are available to us if we simply allow ourselves to live fully and love deeply.

Lynn and Bruce, thank you for letting me be part of such a beautiful and meaningful day. Thank you for teaching me without even saying a word that happiness is found in the simplest moments.

I wish you a life filled with laughter, love, and adventure. May you travel far and wide and savor all the best this world has to offer. Congratulations from the bottom of my heart.

Jemma Rose + Chase | Isla Del Sol Yacht & Country Club | St. Pete, FL

From the very beginning—starting with their engagement session—I just knew Jemma and Chase were something special. This couple radiates such effortless warmth and joy; it was truly an honor to capture both their love story and their wedding day alongside my talented second photographer, PJ.

Their wedding took place at the breathtaking Isla del Sol Yacht & Country Club, one of the most picturesque venues for wedding photography in St Pete, Florida. With its sweeping waterfront views and tropical vibes, it perfectly reflected the relaxed and natural energy Jemma and Chase envisioned.

Their love story began back in 2019 in Los Angeles, where Jemma was completing an internship and Chase was working. Years later, Chase popped the question in the sweetest way—right in their apartment in Gainesville, surrounded by bouquets and candles, creating an intimate and heartfelt proposal.

These two are the epitome of laid-back romance. They’re big foodies who love exploring new restaurants and sharing life’s little adventures together. They’re so easygoing, and the way they make each other feel seen and comfortable is honestly beautiful to witness.

Their St Pete wedding photography vision was all about a tropical, coastal atmosphere—relaxed yet refined. Jemma’s boho-inspired dress flowed in the beach breeze, while the bridesmaids looked stunning in ocean blue gowns that tied in perfectly with the waterfront backdrop. The ceremony was held outdoors beneath swaying palm trees, where they read their personal vows, exchanged tearful smiles, and had one of the most heartfelt "first looks" down the aisle I’ve ever seen.

The ceremony was, without a doubt, the highlight of the day. It was emotional, genuine, and filled with so much love. For the reception, the couple chose elegant tropical florals and beautifully curated table settings that felt personalized and timeless—not overly trendy, but meaningful and true to them. Their first dance was such a sweet moment, full of quiet connection and joyful celebration.

Throughout the day, we focused on capturing authentic, photojournalistic photography moments—lots of soft, natural light and romantic wedding candids that reflected their personalities. Jemma and Chase made our job easy by simply being themselves: joyful, loving, and fully present.

As a St. Pete photographer, this day was a dream to photograph. Everything about it—the setting, the details, the couple—came together in the most magical way. Jemma and Chase, thank you for trusting us with your memories. Your wedding was a true celebration of love, connection, and everything that makes your relationship so uniquely yours.

Wishing you both a lifetime filled with good food, spontaneous adventures, and endless laughter.

-With love, Dafne

Lindsey + Davis Step Into The Limelight | Cross Creek Ranch | Dover, FL

Lindsey & Davis’s Magical Ranch Wedding at Cross Creek Ranch

After photographing Lindsey and Davis’s beachy engagement session at Redington Shores last year, I knew their wedding would be something special—and wow, was it ever.

Held at the gorgeous Cross Creek Ranch (aka Florida’s dreamiest all-inclusive venue), their big day was the perfect blend of rustic charm, elegant details, and all the feels.

The morning kicked off in The Main House, where Lindsey, her bridesmaids, and both moms got glammed up. There were champagne toasts, nonstop laughter, and a sweet moment when the bridesmaids gathered to pray over Lindsey before she walked down the aisle.

Cue the waterworks for not one, but three first looks. First with her dad on the bridge, then with Davis’s son Mason (so sweet!), and finally, a tearful, joyful serene moment with Davis in the greenhouse.

The ceremony took place in The Enchanted Forest, yes, it’s as magical as it sounds. Surrounded by towering oaks and lush greenery, Lindsey and Davis said “I do” in front of their closest family and friends.

Then it was on to the Carriage House Stable for a cozy, candlelit reception. Think rustic barn vibes with vintage flair and an antique bar. The toasts kicked off with laughter and love, but their son Mason stole the spotlight with a heartfelt speech that had everyone reaching for tissues.

A sparkler exit and a light drizzle wrapped up the night in the most romantic way possible. Rain or shine, these two radiated pure joy and I’m so honored I got to capture it all.

Congrats, Lindsey & Davis what a day!

Collynne + Eric Step Into The Limelight | Nova 535 | St. Pete, FL

A Fun and Classy Celebration: Collynne & Eric’s Wedding Day

Some love stories start with a chance encounter, and others begin with a simple swipe. For Collynne and Eric, it all started on Bumble in July 2022 a modern spark that led to an unforgettable connection.

Fast forward to a magical night at a Justin Timberlake concert, where Eric popped the question while JT performed Selfish—a song written for his own wife. A beautiful, intimate proposal that perfectly captured the love between two people who truly see themselves as a team.

When you meet Collynne and Eric, you instantly feel their connection. Whether they’re volunteering in the community, dancing waist-deep in the pool, enjoying concerts, working out, or sharing long walks and deeper talks, they do everything as a duo. Their bond is built on shared passions and unwavering support.

Their wedding day was nothing short of a happily ever after. The couple chose a local venue with a beautiful atmosphere a place that invited their guests to dance, celebrate, and feel the joy in the air. The style? Fun and classy, just like them.

From the beginning of the day to the last song played, this wedding was filled with meaningful moments. One of the most special? The first look on the aisle a heartfelt, emotional moment that neither will ever forget.

The soundtrack of their day played a huge role in creating the vibe setting the tone for every heartfelt glance, every tear, every laugh, and every dance. But above all, what stood out the most was the presence of their friends and family all together in one place, celebrating their love.

When asked what made their wedding unique, their answer was simple: “It’s ours” No DIY, no over-the-top frills just love, laughter, and a celebration that was deeply, beautifully theirs.

In four words, they captured the essence of their day: Happy. Comfortable. Excited. United. And that’s exactly how it felt for everyone lucky enough to be there.

On a personal note, it was truly an honor to be part of Collynne and Eric’s wedding. Living this moment filled with emotion and happiness was an unforgettable experience.

From the bottom of my heart, I wish you both endless joy and a life as beautiful as the love you share a love that touches everyone who crosses your path with respect and kindness.
