Miranda + Mark Step Into The Limelight | Yacht Starship | Clearwater Beach, FL

Miranda and Mark’s Clearwater Beach Wedding & Starship Yacht Celebration – 50 Shades of Brown

Miranda and Mark’s love story is one filled with laughter, surprises, and a beautiful twist that made their wedding day even more memorable. The couple officially tied the knot privately in 2024, keeping their marriage a secret until the perfect moment to celebrate with everyone they love. On November 1, 2025, they finally shared their joy with family and friends during a breathtaking Clearwater Beach wedding followed by a glamorous reception aboard the Starship Yacht.

The couple’s wedding theme  “50 Shades of Brown”  was as clever as it was stunning. Not only did it perfectly match their last name, Brown, but it also created a warm, elegant, and cohesive atmosphere throughout the day. Guests were invited to wear varying shades of brown, creating a visually beautiful palette against the white sands and turquoise waters of Clearwater Beach.

After the ceremony, everyone boarded the Starship Yacht for an unforgettable evening cruise filled with laughter, dancing, and incredible views of the Clearwater coastline. The yacht’s elegant setting paired perfectly with the couple’s coastal-chic theme. As the night unfolded, Miranda and Mark surprised their guests with an announcement: they were already married! The room erupted with cheers, hugs, and happy tears as their loved ones realized the couple had been secretly husband and wife since 2024.

Miranda and Mark’s wedding is a perfect reminder that love can be celebrated in countless ways. whether in secret, in sunshine, or surrounded by everyone who matters most.

Diana + Miguel Step Into The Limelight | Hotel Zamora | St. Pete Beach, FL

Diana and Miguel celebrated their special day at the beautiful Hotel Zamora in St. Pete — a stunning spot that matched their energy perfectly. From the start, the day was filled with laughter, love, and the kind of joy that brings everyone together.

Diana got ready surrounded by her bridesmaids, and the room was full of good music and contagious smiles. She shares a beautiful bond with her family, and it was easy to see how much love surrounds her. One of the most emotional moments of the day was her first look with her dad — a heartfelt exchange that left the photographer teary-eyed.

Their rooftop ceremony overlooked the breathtaking views of St. Pete, and as Diana and Miguel exchanged vows, it felt like time stood still. Every glance, every smile between them showed how deeply connected they are.

Throughout the celebration, there were countless candid moments — laughter, hugs, and little looks that perfectly told their story. It was a day full of genuine emotions, an atmosphere that reflected who they are as a couple: warm, joyful, and full of love.

Dierdre + Michael Step Into The Limelight | University of Tampa | Tampa, FL

There’s something truly magical about photographing a couple where their story began. For Diedre and Michael, the University of Tampa isn’t just a beautiful location — it’s where their love story first took root. Capturing their engagement session on these historic grounds felt like bringing their journey full circle.

As we wandered through the university’s timeless architecture and sunlit pathways, it was easy to see how naturally these two connect. Their laughter was effortless, their smiles genuine, and every glance between them radiated warmth and love. The entire session felt relaxed and joyful — like spending the afternoon with old friends.

What I loved most about photographing Diedre and Michael was how comfortable they were in front of the camera. Every moment unfolded organically, allowing me to capture authentic, photojournalistic-style candids that truly reflect who they are as a couple.

They’ll be tying the knot in March of 2027 at The Florida Aquarium — a venue that promises to be just as vibrant and full of life as their love story. If their engagement session is any indication, their wedding day will be nothing short of stunning!

Congratulations, Diedre and Michael — it was such a joy getting to know you both and capturing this special chapter of your story.

Lisa + Rich Step Into The Limelight | Town Manor on Lake Juliana | Auburndale, FL

A Timeless Lakeside Love Story at Town Manor on Lake Juliana

Every glance, every laugh, and every quiet moment between Lisa and Rich told the story of two people who had finally found their perfect match. Their celebration at Town Manor on Lake Juliana was not only a beautiful union of two hearts but also a blending of families — filled with joy, elegance, and the serene beauty of the lakeside.

Lisa and Rich’s story began on Match.com, where a simple message turned into an inseparable bond. After years of life’s twists and turns, they found in each other what they had always been looking for — true partnership, unwavering respect, and endless laughter. Their proposal story was as genuine as their love: a quiet night at home after a day spent boating and dining by the water, with a heartfelt “yes” shared in the most intimate and meaningful way.

The wedding day at Town Manor perfectly reflected their personalities — elegant, sophisticated, yet refreshingly relaxed. Surrounded by their closest family and friends, they exchanged vows as the sun dipped below Lake Juliana, casting a golden glow over the ceremony. It was the perfect setting for a couple whose hearts belong to the water.

From the laughter during candid moments to the gentle tears during their vows, every part of the day was a photographer’s dream. The lakeside breeze, the fall-inspired color palette, and the joy radiating from everyone created a timeless canvas for photojournalistic photography — capturing not just moments, but emotions.

One of my favorite moments was their first dance by the lake — pure magic. You could feel the love, welcome, joy, and unity they hoped every guest would experience.

Lisa and Rich, your lakeside wedding in Auburndale was an absolute honor to capture. Thank you for allowing Limelight Photography to be part of such a meaningful day filled with love and laughter.
