Studio 131 Steps Into The Limelight | Studio 131 | Largo, FL

Modern Romance in Burgundy & Olive at Studio 131

Studio 131 in Largo, Florida set the stage for a modern, romantic styled shoot that blended sculptural florals, candlelit tablescapes, and sleek fashion. The palette leaned into deep burgundy, olive and moss greens, warm taupe, and creamy ivory, creating an editorial look that still felt welcoming and timeless.

The Look & Feel

JoBelle Design transformed the Ballroom, Courtyard, Lounge, and waterfront spaces with burgundy anthurium, white calla lilies, trailing amaranthus, and lush greens. Olive velvet linens, clear glass, and tall tapers cast a soft glow, while a minimalist strapless gown and tailored suiting added clean, architectural lines. Every vignette—from an intimate sweetheart table to the oak-tree ceremony setting—was styled to be both photogenic and functional for a real wedding flow.

How It Was Captured

Adrian from Limelight Photography documented the design with an eye for texture, light, and movement, highlighting the contrast between soft candlelight and bold florals. Christina of Heart & Root led her studio’s coverage and added a nostalgic spin with a vintage Super-8–style film camera (yes, the one that goes whir-whir-click). Those film snippets brought a dreamy, tactile layer to the story—proof that modern design and old-school romance play beautifully together.

Why It Inspired Couples

The design proved that couples can be bold and timeless at once: rich, moody florals grounded by natural greens; minimalist fashion balanced by romantic, candlelit atmosphere. It’s a look that translated seamlessly from indoor ballroom to outdoor ceremony, and it photographed like a dream at golden hour.

Shannon + Paul Step Into The Limelight | Christ the King Catholic Church + Grand Hyatt Tampa Bay | Tampa, FL

On a sun-kissed September day in Tampa, Florida, Shannon and Paul tied the knot in a heartfelt and elegant ceremony at Christ the King Catholic Church. Their wedding, held on September 6th, 2025, was a beautiful reflection of their deep connection, global love story, and timeless style.

Shannon and Paul’s journey began in the most unexpected of places—Antigua, where they met as teenagers. What started as a chance meeting soon grew into a lasting bond. Years later, Paul proposed during the Christmas holiday, surrounded by the warmth of the season and those they loved most.

The couple chose to exchange vows at Christ the King Catholic Church, a stunning and sacred space that offered the perfect backdrop for their traditional Catholic ceremony. Surrounded by family, friends, and the quiet elegance of the sanctuary, Shannon and Paul said “I do” in a service filled with reverence and love.

Following the ceremony, the celebration continued on the Sky Terrace of the Grand Hyatt Tampa Bay. With panoramic views of the water and the golden glow of the setting sun, the terrace provided an unforgettable setting for their reception. The couple selected the Grand Hyatt for its breathtaking waterfront views, and it did not disappoint. The location was nothing short of magical as day turned to night over Tampa Bay.

From the tearful first looks to the laughter on the dance floor, Shannon and Paul’s wedding was filled with emotion, beauty, and joy. Every moment felt genuine and full of heart, a testament to a couple who have known each other for years and still look at each other like they just met.

It was an absolute honour to photograph this chapter of Shannon and Paul’s love story. Their wedding day was not only stunning in every detail but also a reminder of the power of enduring love and the beauty of celebrating it surrounded by the people who matter most.
