Isabella + Jorge Step Into The Limelight | Sheraton Clearwater Sand Key | Clearwater Beach, FL

Isabella & Jorge's Elegant Clearwater Beach Wedding
Capturing Love on the Gulf Coast | Clearwater Beach Wedding Photographers

Isabella and Jorge's wedding was a picture-perfect celebration of love, faith, and family, set against the stunning backdrop of Clearwater Beach. As experienced Clearwater Beach wedding photographers, we were honored to document every heartfelt moment, from the emotional first look to the joyous reception. Their wedding at the Sheraton Sand Key, a Clearwater Beach Preferred Vendor, was an unforgettable event filled with love and laughter.

A Love Story Rooted in Friendship
Isabella and Jorge’s journey began long before they started dating. They met years ago through Isabella’s brother, who was friends with Jorge. Their connection grew over time, leading to a beautiful relationship built on laughter, shared experiences, and unwavering support.

Jorge's proposal was nothing short of magical. He took Isabella to the Skyway Bridge, where they enjoyed a peaceful walk before he dropped to one knee and asked her to be his forever. It was a moment she will never forget, and it set the stage for the beautiful wedding day that followed.

A Sophisticated Clearwater Beach Wedding
When planning their wedding, Isabella and Jorge wanted a venue that would accommodate their out-of-town family while also reflecting their love for elegance and simplicity. The Sheraton Sand Key was the perfect choice, offering breathtaking Gulf views, top-tier amenities, and a serene coastal ambiance for their loved ones.

The couple opted for a classic and formal aesthetic, advising guests to wear beige and white attire. The timeless color palette complemented the sophisticated ambiance of the venue, creating a seamless blend of elegance and warmth.

Special Moments & Personalized Touches
One of the most meaningful details of their ceremony was the handmade wooden cross that Jorge built himself. This heartfelt DIY project served as a beautiful symbol of their faith and commitment to each other.

The day was filled with touching moments, including:

  • The First Look – One of the most anticipated moments for Isabella was walking down the aisle and seeing Jorge’s reaction. This emotional moment was beautifully captured in their Clearwater Beach wedding photography.

  • A Ceremony Surrounded by Loved Ones – With their closest family and friends present, Isabella and Jorge exchanged heartfelt vows, beginning their lifelong journey together.

  • A Joyous Reception – The celebration continued with a lively reception, where guests enjoyed a delicious meal, heartfelt toasts, and a memorable first dance. The night was filled with laughter, love, and cherished memories.

Jessica + Ian Step Into The Limelight | Isla Del Sol Yacht & Country Club | St. Pete, FL

“So this is love. So this is what makes life divine.” – Cinderella

Jessica and Ian radiate joy, warmth, and genuine love—not only for each other, but for everyone in their orbit. As their wedding photographer in St. Petersburg, it was an honor to document a day filled with emotion, laughter, and unforgettable personal touches.

Their love story began in the most modern way—on Hinge. But fate really stepped in when Jessica’s job happened to take her to BayCare Ballpark, where Ian worked. A flurry of phone flashlight signals and a determined best friend led to a first meeting that sealed the deal. Jessica knew right away that Ian was her person, and as they say, the rest is history.

Fast forward to a surprise Tuesday evening proposal at the beach, surrounded by friends and family, and you’ve got the beginning of a new forever. The beach has always held meaning for them—it was the backdrop of their first date and the proposal—and that coastal romance theme flowed beautifully through their Isla Del Sol wedding. With soft shades of sea glass blues, dreamy draped lighting, and the salty breeze rolling off the bay, it felt like a page out of a storybook.

Jessica walked down the aisle in a flowing boho-inspired gown, radiant and glowing, while Ian waited with a heart full of love (and maybe a few tears in his eyes). Their vows were deeply emotional—both of them wore their hearts on their sleeves, and I don’t think there was a dry eye in the crowd.

And speaking of feelings, one of my favorite wedding candids was when Jessica and her mom danced during the reception as a slideshow of memories with her father played behind them. That kind of love and legacy is what weddings are truly about.

To quote Disney:
“So this is love. So this is what makes life divine.” – Cinderella

Jessica and Ian, thank you for letting us be part of your incredible celebration. Your story is one of love, light, laughter—and just enough Baja Blast to keep things fun. Your wedding day was as magical as your love story, and I’m so grateful to have captured every heartfelt moment.

Elise + Tyler Step Into The Limelight | Renaissance Tampa International Plaza Hotel | Tampa, FL

A Timeless Celebration in Tampa

Elise and Tyler have known each other since fifth grade, but it wasn’t until five years ago that their story as a couple began. What followed was a relationship grounded in ease, shared values, and a love for the simple joys like cooking dinner together, traveling, and always choosing each other.

Tyler proposed during a trip to Switzerland, over a quiet picnic in Lauterbrunnen, with waterfalls in every direction. It was thoughtful, personal, and perfectly them.

Originally planned for the Rusty Pelican, their wedding was relocated to the Renaissance Tampa International Plaza Hotel due to unexpected hurricane damage. With the help of their coordinator, Brittany, the day came together seamlessly.

The ceremony took place outside in the hotel’s courtyard, officiated by Elise’s uncle. Guests gathered in the open air as the couple exchanged heartfelt vows surrounded by greenery and sunshine. After portraits by the fountain, everyone moved inside to the ballroom for dinner and dancing.

Elise took a moment after dinner to thank everyone for being there and gave a special, heartfelt thank you to Brittany, who helped them navigate the last-minute venue change with care and dedication.

The evening continued with a private cake cutting and then straight into the celebration. One of the standout moments came when “Sugar, We’re Going Down” played, an all time favorite of Elise’s, setting the tone for a fun, energetic night. The celebration closed on a high note with “Mr. Brightside,” as guests formed a circle around the newlyweds, bubbles filling the air while everyone sang along. It was the perfect ending to a day that felt personal, relaxed, and full of love.

Christine + Levent Step Into The Limelight | Sandpearl Resort | Clearwater Beach, FL

A Sunset, a Second Chance, and So. Much. Love.

Some weddings are loud and lavish. Others are soft and simple. But every once in a while, you get to witness a love story that feels like the ocean breeze itself, gentle, deep, and full of life.

That was the case with this unforgettable day. I had the absolute honor of capturing a wedding that wasn’t just a ceremony, it was a celebration of reconnection, laughter, and the kind of love that makes you feel like everything is right with the world.

Lev and Chris met over 25 years ago (yes, twenty-five!), and life, as it often does, pulled them in different directions. But in 2021, as if guided by destiny (or a very persistent algorithm?), they reconnected and this time, they weren’t letting go.

Now, let’s talk about the proposal. Forget hot-air balloons or choreographed flash mobs. These two were chill. They picked out the ring together (because teamwork makes the dream work), and one night, sitting on the couch, Lev got down on one knee. Just them, their couch, and a big beautiful yes. Simple. Perfect. So them.

From the moment I met them, the energy between them was magnetic. You know that couple who finishes each other's sentences and laughs at jokes only they understand? Yep, that’s them. Whether it’s walking together, making magic with wood and lasers (yes, really!), or just bingeing game shows on the couch, they truly just love being together. It’s the kind of love that doesn’t need an audience but lucky for all of us, we got to witness it anyway.

The wedding itself? A sunset beach dream. Casual, beautiful, intimate. No glitter cannons, no drama just waves crashing, flowers dancing in the breeze, and people who really, truly love each other. The bride walked down the aisle with her 3 children at her side, Lev beaming at the end, and I swear there wasn’t a dry eye in sight. I was holding my camera but also holding back tears (spoiler: I failed. I cried too).

What made this day extra special was how it felt. Happy. Relaxed. Loved. Just like they hoped. The ocean, the warm glow of the setting sun, and the laughter of close friends and family, everything blended into the kind of atmosphere that fills your heart and makes you believe in forever.

And me? I felt honored. Not just to document their day, but to feel like part of it. I walked away not only with full memory cards but with a full heart.

Lev and Chris reminded me that love doesn’t have to be loud to be powerful. That second chances are real. And that sometimes, the most beautiful weddings are the ones where love simply speaks for itself.

Here’s to new chapters, sunsets, and soft beginnings. And to two people who fit together, just right.

Stoll Family Portraits + Senior Session | Pass-a-Grille Beach | St. Pete Beach, FL

Capturing Memories—Graduation and Family Celebration

In the picturesque setting of Pass-A-Grille Beach, Florida, a heartwarming family portrait session unfolded, bringing together a delightful family from Ohio. This special occasion was not just any photo shoot; it was a celebration of milestones, combining a graduation and an engagement into one unforgettable experience.

The portraits began with the graduation celebration. The proud graduate, donned in a cap and gown, stood tall with her family surrounding her, their smiles reflecting immense pride and love. Each click of the camera captured not only their physical presence but also the palpable joy of this significant achievement.

Next, the focus shifted to the engagement. The couple, beaming with happiness, posed against the stunning beach scenery. Their love was evident in every frame, with tender glances and playful interactions showcasing their deep connection. The backdrop of the ocean and the soft, pastel colors of the sky created a romantic atmosphere, perfectly complementing their engagement.

Throughout the session, laughter and warmth filled the air, as the family interacted naturally, creating candid moments that were just as precious as the posed portraits.

As the sun set, the session concluded with a sense of fulfilment and joy. The family left with not just photographs, but cherished memories that would last a lifetime. This photo session at Pass-A-Grille Beach was more than just a gathering; it was a celebration of love, achievement, and the beautiful journey of life.
