Allyssa + Chris Step Into The Limelight | Zota Beach Resort | Longboat Key, FL

The sun dipped low over the Gulf as soft hues of neutral tones and desert coral painted the sky — the perfect reflection of this couple’s timeless style. Their wedding at Zota Beach Resort in Sarasota, Florida celebrated love in its purest, most effortless form: simple, heartfelt, and deeply connected.

A Love Story Rooted in Faith

Their journey began years earlier on a church retreat in high school, where friendship quietly blossomed into a forever kind of love. After years of shared memories, laughter, and adventures, he proposed during a sunset dinner cruise — the ocean breeze carrying promises of a lifetime together.

The Day They Said “I Do”

The couple envisioned a neutral, modern beach wedding — serene, refined, and free of cliché décor. Every detail reflected their love for natural beauty and effortless design. Surrounded by soft neutrals and warm coral tones, their celebration felt organic and romantic, blending seamlessly with the sand and sea.

They exchanged heartfelt vows beneath the open sky, with waves rolling gently in the background. The most emotional moment came when he first saw her walking down the aisle — the world seemed to pause as their eyes met. It was everything they had imagined and more.

Personal Touches & Unforgettable Moments

The bride’s favorite part of the day was getting ready with her bridesmaids and the walk down the aisle — a moment filled with anticipation and joy. Their DIY centerpieces added a personalized touch to the reception, where laughter, dancing, and genuine happiness filled the air. Friends and family enjoyed a night that truly embodied their wish: for everyone to have fun and feel love.

Sherri + Brian Step Into The Limelight | The Barn at Jewel Farm | Keystone, FL

A Hawaiian-Inspired Celebration of A Love Story Rooted in Adventure, Family, and Joy.

When Brian and his bride met online in October 2020, they instantly discovered a shared love for laughter, good food, and spontaneous adventures. What began as a digital spark quickly evolved into a relationship filled with travel, cooking together, and celebrating life’s everyday moments.

✈️ A Proposal in Paradise

Brian’s proposal was nothing short of cinematic — a helicopter landing beside a waterfall overlooking the ocean in Hawaii. With the sound of waves crashing below, he got down on one knee and asked the question that would lead them here. That moment by the sea became the heartbeat of their love story and the inspiration for the wedding that followed.

🌿 The Wedding Vision

The couple dreamed of bringing a touch of Hawaii’s relaxed beauty to their Florida celebration, creating a day that felt comfortable, natural, joyous, and authentic.

Hosted at The Barn at Jewel Farm, the setting offered a casual yet elegant barn backdrop, perfectly complemented by tropical touches — lush greenery, organic textures, and the joyful energy that mirrored their Hawaiian engagement. Their children served as the wedding party, filling the day with laughter, love, and the warmth of family.

💕 Heartfelt Details

The day flowed effortlessly from an intimate outdoor ceremony to a relaxed reception filled with delicious flavors and happy tears.
Guests enjoyed catering by Olympia Catering and a sweet ending with a Publix wedding cake, while Events Done Right kept the music lively and spirits high.

The couple’s goal was simple — to celebrate love and togetherness in a space that felt like home. Every moment, from the heartfelt vows beneath the open sky to the laughter shared on the dance floor, reflected the beauty of an authentic, family-centered love story.

Alexis + Christian Step Into The Limelight | The Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach Resort & Spa | Clearwater Beach, FL

Alexis and Christian’s wedding day at the gorgeous Hyatt Clearwater Beach Resort & Spa was the perfect reflection of who they are—romantic, joyful, and completely devoted to one another and their beautiful family. From the moment I arrived, I could feel the excitement and love in the air.

Their story began back in 2021 when a Bumble match led to a sunset walk on Treasure Island Beach. Fast forward to their engagement—Christian proposed in that very same spot, with their daughter strapped to his chest and family and friends secretly watching nearby. It was the sweetest, most genuine start to the next chapter of their love story.

Their wedding day felt like a pause in life’s beautiful chaos—a moment just for them. Surrounded by loved ones, Alexis and Christian finally said “I do,” celebrating not only their marriage but the strong foundation they’ve built together. The day was filled with heartfelt emotion, joyful laughter, and tender wedding candids that perfectly captured their story through a photojournalistic photography approach.

Every detail was meaningful. As the sun set over the Gulf, the sky painted the perfect backdrop for their portraits, making wedding photography in Clearwater Beach feel like pure magic.

It was such an honor to photograph Alexis and Christian’s wedding day and witness the love that radiates from their family.

Alex + Kevin Step Into The Limelight | The Tampa EDITION + Water Street | Tampa, FL

✨ Alex + Kevin’s Engagement Session at The Tampa EDITION ✨

When love meets luxury, the results are unforgettable. Alex + Kevin’s engagement session at The Tampa EDITION and along Water Street Tampa was the perfect combination of elegance, romance, and modern city vibes. 💍

Starting in Style: The Tampa EDITION

We began the afternoon inside the city’s first five-star hotel, The Tampa EDITION. Known for its sleek design and luxury details, it offered the perfect backdrop for Alex + Kevin’s love story.

One of our favorite stops was The Punch Room, a hidden cocktail lounge with rich wood paneling, velvet seating, and the soft glow of the fireplace. The intimate atmosphere captured their connection beautifully, setting the tone for a session filled with joy and sophistication.

Exploring Water Street Tampa 🌆

Just steps outside The EDITION, the streets of downtown Tampa gave us a completely different vibe — modern, vibrant, and full of energy. We strolled through Water Street Tampa, using the sleek architecture and golden light bouncing off the glass buildings to highlight the couple’s just-engaged glow.

Fountains at the Tampa Bay History Center 💦

To end the evening, we stopped by the fountains at the Tampa Bay History Center, where playful splashes of water and the lively energy of the area added a touch of fun to their elegant session. The combination of city charm and waterfront views gave Alex + Kevin’s gallery an incredible variety — timeless luxury paired with authentic, candid moments.

Why We Love Engagement Sessions in Tampa

Tampa is full of stunning backdrops for couples who want their engagement session to feel both stylish and personal. From the luxury of The Tampa EDITION to the modern cityscapes of Water Street and the romantic waterfront near the Tampa Bay History Center, Alex + Kevin’s photos truly show how versatile and vibrant this city can be.

At Limelight Photography, we love creating galleries that reflect not just a love story — but also the personality of each couple. For Alex + Kevin, it was all about laughter, elegance, and a whole lot of love. ✨

Lorraine + Russell Step Into The Limelight | Ybor City | Tampa, FL

An Evening in Ybor City: Lorraine & Russell

There are love stories that feel like they were written in the warm glow of golden light, and Lorraine and Russell’s is one of them. On a beautiful evening in Ybor City, we celebrated not just their engagement, but also a very special occasion, Lorraine’s birthday.

Ybor has a charm of its own. The cobblestone streets, the colorful facades, and the echoes of history make it the perfect stage for romance. As we wandered through its lively corners, Lorraine and Russell brought their own kind of magic. They laughed easily, shared quiet looks that said everything words could not, and held each other in a way that reminded me why love stories are worth capturing.

What made the evening even more unforgettable was the joy that radiated from Lorraine. Celebrating her birthday alongside the man who makes her heart feel at home gave the session an extra sparkle. Russell’s gentle way of looking at her made it clear: he wasn’t just celebrating her birthday, he was celebrating her.

As the sun softened into dusk, Ybor’s lights began to twinkle, wrapping the streets in romance. It felt as if the city itself was raising a glass to Lorraine and Russell two people whose love lights up every space they step into.

This session wasn’t just about photos. It was about marking a moment in time: a birthday filled with love, laughter, and the promise of forever. Lorraine and Russell, thank you for letting me be part of this chapter. Here’s to the many more birthdays you’ll share together, side by side, heart to heart.
