Kara + William Step Into The Limelight | Hilton Clearwater Beach Resort & Spa | Clearwater Beach, FL

Kara & Will: From Office Flirtations to Beachfront “I Do’s” 

Some love stories begin on dating apps. Others? In the least romantic place imaginable: the workplace (who would’ve thought?!).

Back in July 2019, Kara and Will met through work in Philadelphia, and sparks flew faster than you can say “coffee break.” By August, they were officially dating and spent as much time together as possible, from beach trips along the New Jersey shore to fun dinners out. Life was sweet and carefree… until March 2020, when the world (and, well, everything else) shut down.

While most couples dreaded lockdown, Kara and Will found a silver lining: more time together. They escaped the walls of quarantine by heading to Will’s parents’ new house in Siesta Key, Florida, soaking up the sun and creating memories with family. Later, they traded the beach for the woods at Will’s Uncle John’s cozy cabin in Georgia. Turns out, surviving a global pandemic together is a pretty solid relationship test and they passed with flying colors.

Fast forward to April 2023, when life threw them the sweetest curveball: Kara found out she was pregnant! In December 2023, they welcomed their beautiful baby girl, Isla Marie Anderson, into the world. Kara, ever patient (and maybe a little too patient), waited for the next big step… the ring!

Finally, in March 2024, surrounded by Disney magic, Will got down on one knee and popped the question at their hotel in Disney World. After years of love, adventures, and diaper changes, Kara got her fairytale moment and of course, she said yes!

Choosing where to tie the knot was easy. Kara had been vacationing in Clearwater, Florida, since she was a kid, and the Hilton on the beach holds a special place in her heart. Their wedding is set to reflect their style: modern, simple, and full of meaning with the ocean as their backdrop and the people they love most by their side.

For Kara and Will, it’s not just about a beautiful wedding it’s about celebrating all they’ve built together: a relationship that survived work stress, a pandemic, and new parenthood. It’s about the beach, the laughter, the patience, and the little girl who now fills their hearts.

From office flirtations to Disney proposals, from sandy beach walks to raising Isla, Kara and Will’s love story is proof that sometimes, the best things come when you least expect them and sometimes, they arrive with a side of Mickey Mouse ears.

🌴 A Stunning Marco Island Wedding by Limelight Photography 🌴

We are thrilled to share highlights from a beautiful wedding captured by Limelight Photography, your go-to Marco Island wedding photographers and Marco Island Beach wedding photographers. This magical day was filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable moments.

Our wonderful couple met six years ago in Chicago while visiting the city. It was love at first sight, and their journey has been nothing short of extraordinary. The groom flew down to Florida to surprise his bride with a heartfelt proposal, sealing their love story in the most romantic way.

The bride shared that she loves how her groom brings out the best in her, always believing in her and being her biggest advocate. He makes her laugh, takes care of her, and supports her in every way. The groom adores her cuteness and playful spirit. Together, they enjoy hiking, cooking, thrifting, watching cooking competitions, and traveling.

Their wedding was a perfect blend of romance and fun, inspired by the photography styles of Sophia Richie and Alex Cooper. The sunset tropical theme with shades of pink and orange flowers and palm leaves created a breathtaking backdrop. The couple's highlights of the day included their heartfelt ceremony, the lively DJ, and the delicious food.

As Sale e Pepe Preferred Vendors, Limelight Photography ensured every moment was beautifully captured, offering exceptional wedding photography packages tailored to

the couple's vision. The day was filled with excitement, emotion, love, and joy, creating memories that will last a lifetime.

Adriana + Zachary Step Into The Limelight | Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach Resort & Spa | Clearwater Beach, FL

Adriana + Zachary | A Dreamy Beach Wedding at the Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach Resort and Spa

These two are the definition of soulmates: sweet, genuine, and full of light and love for one another. Their love for each other radiates in every glance, and their kindness made everyone around them feel like family. We LOVE Adriana and Zachary — they are incredible people with hearts of gold.

Their love story began in high school, and over the years, they built a life together filled with shared walks with their two adorable pups, and countless adventures exploring new restaurants and coffee shops. When Zach proposed on Clearwater Beach in July 2023 — right near Opal Sands Resort — it was the perfect beginning to their Florida wedding journey.

Florida has always held a special place in their hearts. They vacationed here nearly every year, so when it came time to choose a wedding location, the Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach Resort and Spa felt like home. Their vision of a classy, delicate, light and airy celebration came to life beautifully — from the soft pastel color palette to the gentle breeze from the Gulf of Mexico as they said “I do.”

As a Clearwater Photographer, I was absolutely inspired by their attention to detail and the intimacy of their day. Their wedding was more than just an event — it was a heartfelt celebration surrounded by those who matter most. A smaller destination wedding made everything feel so personal and genuine. The joy and warmth were tangible, and the love between Adriana and Zachary was truly the center of it all.

Their ceremony was breathtaking. The moment Adriana walked down the aisle, and Zach saw her for the first time — it was magical. One of my favorite parts of wedding photography in Clearwater is capturing those wedding candids that tell an honest, emotional story. Their ceremony was filled with happy tears, laughter, and quiet moments of connection — the very essence of photojournalistic photography.

From getting ready in sunlit suites to their romantic portraits on the soft white sands of Clearwater Beach, every part of their day was a dream. As the sun set, painting the sky in shades of peach and lavender, their reception came alive with laughter, dancing, and heartfelt toasts.

For Adriana and Zachary, this wasn’t just their wedding — it was a celebration of their journey together. A perfect mix of relaxation, joy, and elegance in the place they love most. As someone who specializes in wedding photography Clearwater Florida, it’s days like this that remind me why I love what I do.

Adriana and Zachary, thank you for trusting me with your memories. Your love is inspiring, and it was an absolute honor to document the beginning of your next chapter.

Tonya + Chris Step Into The Limelight | Yacht Starship | Tampa, FL

Tonya & Chris – A Yacht Wedding Full of Love, Laughter, and a Little Bit of Wobble

Some love stories feel like poetry. Tonya and Chris? They’re a whole playlist, romantic, joyful, and impossible not to dance along with.

These two had known each other for years through their children, but it wasn’t until May 2022 that the universe decided to give their story the spotlight. Thanks to some well-placed friends, they reconnected and quickly became inseparable. From concerts to traveling adventures and quiet days just enjoying each other's company, their journey since that first date on May 21, 2022, has been full of unforgettable moments.

They made it official (and tear-jerkingly sweet!) on November 25, 2023, surrounded by family and friends when Chris popped the question. And let me tell you, their destination wedding aboard a yacht on April 26, 2025, was nothing short of magical.

Photographing their wedding was an absolute dream although I’d be lying if I said I didn’t almost fall over at least five times thanks to the gentle, rocking of the boat! But hey, I survived with my gear intact and a heart full of joy.

The energy that day was contagious. Everyone had a glow, a sparkle in their eyes that said, “These two are something special.” Even the sunset seemed to agree it showed off with such beauty and harmony that it felt like the sky was serenading us with the most beautiful love song ever written.

And then there’s her gaze oh, the way Tonya’s eyes light up when she looks at Chris. That kind of sparkle can’t be faked. It’s the kind of look that says, “There you are. My person.” Watching her look at him was like watching love itself unfold pure, honest, and beautiful beyond words.

And then came the moment: Tonya and Chris’s private last dance. Just the two of them swaying gently as the boat rocked and the stars peeked out above it was pure magic. As a photographer, I get to witness a lot of beautiful things, but this moment? This one will stay with me.

I’m beyond grateful to have been a part of their big day. Tonya and Chris, thank you for trusting me to capture your love, your laughter, and yes, even my almost-slips onboard!

Wishing you a lifetime of happiness, spontaneous adventures, and sunsets that keep singing your song.
