Nicole + Luis Step Into The Limelight | The Treasury on The Plaza | St. Augustine, FL

What an unforgettable day celebrating Nicole and Luis at The Treasury on the Plaza in the heart of historic St. Augustine. There’s something timeless about this city. The cobblestone streets, the distant sound of church bells, the way the afternoon light falls against the old stone walls. It was the perfect backdrop for a love story years in the making.

Before the ceremony, we took portraits upstairs near the grand windows overlooking downtown. Below us, the city buzzed with life , but inside it was quiet. Just Nicole and Luis sharing a few moments together before everything began. You could feel the anticipation in the air, that mix of nerves and excitement that comes right before one of life’s biggest moments.

Then it was time.

The ceremony began beneath the soft glow of candlelight, the room falling silent as six spotlights illuminated Nicole walking down the aisle. The lights dimmed everywhere else. all focus on them. It was cinematic, emotional, and beautifully intimate.

After the ceremony, the newlyweds slipped away into the old bank vault, now a private cocktail lounge, where Luis mixed a drink for Nicole (which he might’ve ended up finishing himself). They shared some laughs and a quiet moment together before surprising their guests with a grand entrance like no other.

As the reception began, the bridal party entered to cheers, the lights dimmed again, and the vault doors slowly opened. Nicole and Luis stepped out, bathed in golden light as cold sparks lit up the room. It was electric. The kind of moment that gives everyone chills.

The rest of the night carried that same energy. Laughter, and dancing filled every corner of the room.

We ended the evening wandering the brick streets of St. Augustine as the sun dipped low and the city lights came on. The pink sky, the glow of the lanterns, and that unmistakable just married energy. It was the perfect ending to a perfect day.

Nicole and Luis, thank you for letting us capture such a beautiful chapter of your story! Your day at The Treasury on the Plaza was elegant, heartfelt, and full of joy. Everything a wedding should be!

Renee + Steven Step Into The Limelight | Wyndham Grand Clearwater Beach | Clearwater Beach, FL

What an absolutely beautiful celebration to be part of! Renee and Steve’s wedding day at the Wyndham Grand Clearwater Beach was filled with love, laughter, and joy — the perfect reflection of a couple 20 years in the making.

Their love story began long ago in elementary school, with paths crossing again years later at a bar where Steve worked. Fate clearly had its plan — and years after reconnecting, Steve proposed in Ocean City with a heartfelt “message on a boat.”

Their wedding day was everything they dreamed of — Beach, Glam, and Girly — inspired by their love for Florida’s sunshine and family-centered vibes. Renee looked stunning in her Kleinfeld gown, a dream come true for a longtime “Say Yes to the Dress” fan!

One of the sweetest moments was seeing their son take part in the ceremony — such a touching symbol of their journey together. The entire day overflowed with emotion, laughter, and unforgettable wedding candids that perfectly captured the energy of their loved ones dancing and celebrating together.

As a Clearwater Beach Photographer, I absolutely loved documenting every photojournalistic detail of their day — from the soft ocean breeze to the golden sunset glow.

Congratulations, Renee and Steve! Your wedding was the perfect mix of Happy, Excited, and Fun!

Casey + Thomas Step Into The Limelight | Sacred Heart Church + Grand Hyatt Tampa Bay | Tampa, FL

A Romantic Tampa Bay Wedding

When I think back to Casey and Thomas’s wedding weekend, I can’t help but smile — it was the perfect blend of timeless romance, heartfelt tradition, and joyful celebration along the sparkling waters of Tampa Bay. ✨

A Love Story Years in the Making

Casey and Thomas first met in 2016 while attending Pitt Pharmacy School. What began as friendship quickly blossomed into a deep and lasting love — one that carried them through years of studying, residency, long-distance, and countless life milestones. Thomas proposed at Phipps Conservatory surrounded by friends and Casey’s mom, making for a moment as meaningful as it was magical.

A Destination Celebration in Tampa

The couple envisioned a destination wedding that allowed guests to truly experience the beauty of Florida. Their celebration began with a welcome party by the pool overlooking the bay, setting the tone for a weekend filled with laughter, sunshine, and connection.

Their ceremony took place at Sacred Heart Catholic Church, one of Tampa’s most stunning historic churches. The moment Casey walked down the aisle to “Trumpet Voluntary” — the same song she once played in her high school brass quartet and the same one Thomas’s mother walked down to — there wasn’t a dry eye in sight. The couple’s private marriage affirmations afterward were especially moving, a quiet exchange that perfectly captured their devotion and faith.

Elegant, Classic, and Full of Heart

Casey looked radiant in her romantic, ethereal gown from Lily’s Bridal Tampa, complete with a chapel-length train and blusher veil. Thomas wore a custom tuxedo, a timeless look that perfectly complemented the elegant surroundings.

Their décor at the Grand Hyatt Tampa Bay was simple, classic, and elegant — with neutral and earthy tones that highlighted the venue’s natural light and sweeping bay views. Florals by Apple Blossoms added a touch of organic beauty, while candlelit tables created a warm, inviting atmosphere for dinner and dancing.

Personal Touches That Told Their Story

Every detail of the day reflected their personalities and values. Casey designed her own handmade pearl jewelry with a local St. Cloud jeweler, while their welcome sign and seating chart were crafted from antique store finds repurposed with love. Their table numbers featured childhood photos — a sweet nod to the lives that brought them to this day — and their guest book included photos from their engagement session in Polignano a Mare, Italy.

Faith, Family, and Dancing Under the Stars

Their reception at the Grand Hyatt Tampa Bay was unforgettable. Guests dined on a delicious menu by the Hyatt’s catering team and enjoyed a beautiful Publix wedding cake before the dance floor came alive thanks to DJ Bohav from Tampa Bay DJ Company, who kept the celebration going with the couple’s favorite disco beats.

The speeches from their fathers, best man, and man of honor were heartfelt and funny — the perfect reflection of how loved Casey and Thomas are by everyone around them.

A Perfect Beginning

From the sacred ceremony to the joy-filled dance floor, Casey and Thomas’s wedding was a true celebration of faith, family, and forever love. Every laugh, tear, and embrace told a story of two best friends who became soulmates — surrounded by everyone who matters most.

It was an honor to capture their journey and preserve the memories of such a radiant and meaningful day.

Angela + Mike Step Into The Limelight | Harborside Chapel | Safety Harbor, FL

A Quiet and Beautiful Union

On a beautiful morning at Harborside Chapel, Angela and Mike stepped into a moment that was completely their own — no big party, just love, immediate family, and genuine emotion.

They chose to keep things short and sweet, with just two hours surrounded by their closest people. The ceremony took place at the charming Harborside Chapel in Safety Harbor, FL. I loved capturing their moments during the ceremony and afterward, when we had a relaxed couple session that allowed us to talk, laugh, and make a real connection.

Because the day was so intimate, every second felt intentional. There wasn’t time for distractions or fluff — it was purely about the two of them stepping into their next chapter together.

Even without the getting-ready shots or a reception dance floor, what we captured was even more meaningful: connection. The smiles, the tears, and those subtle, heartfelt moments — those are the ones that truly stay with me.

Hayley + Robbie Step Into The Limelight | Hotel Zamora | St. Pete, FL

Hayley & Robbie — Day 2!
From the Stadium to the Rooftop Celebration at The Hotel Zamora

After the emotional “I do’s” at Raymond James Stadium, it was time for round two the ultimate celebration at The Hotel Zamora in St. Pete Beach. If their ceremony was heartfelt and intimate, their reception was pure energy.

The rooftop at The Hotel Zamora was glowing with sunset colors, the kind that make you stop and just take it all in. The ocean breeze, the laughter echoing between the tables, the sound of clinking glasses it was one of those nights that you wish could last forever.

From the moment guests arrived, you could feel the joy in the air. Everyone was ready to celebrate, and let’s just say… they did not hold back! There was dancing, singing, and so much laughter,  exactly the kind of night that perfectly fits Hayley and Robert’s vibe.

I loved how they kept everything true to who they are, relaxed, fun, and real. Their “bar game night” theme came to life with cornhole, a giant Jenga, and even a custom puzzle guest book. It felt less like a traditional wedding and more like the best house party ever… just with better outfits and a killer view!

One of my favorite moments was watching them dance together surrounded by friends and family, completely lost in the music, smiling from ear to ear. After the quiet emotion of their ceremony, this night was all about connection and celebration.

Looking around, you could see how loved they are, everyone was part of the joy. That’s what made photographing this wedding so special. It wasn’t just about beautiful places (though both the stadium and this rooftop were epic), it was about two people who built a love story that brings everyone together.

From the pirate ship to the rooftop, from “I do” to “let’s dance”  Hayley and Robert’s wedding was a journey of laughter, love, and unforgettable moments. And I feel so lucky to have captured it all.

Thank you so much for letting me be a part of these incredible and special days for you. “Ahoy!”
