Karen & Tim’s “Love Boat” Celebration

Karen and Tim’s wedding day was a dream come true on the water. Surrounded by a small circle of family and friends, they exchanged heartfelt vows aboard what they affectionately called the Love Boat,  a luxurious yacht from Kokomo Charters in Sarasota, Florida. The yacht, officially named Memory Maker, lived up to its name as it carried everyone through a breathtaking Florida sunset wedding filled with joy, laughter, and romance.

Adding an elegant and unforgettable touch to the evening was a live trumpet player, whose soulful music floated through the air during the ceremony and celebration. The gentle notes perfectly complemented the rhythm of the waves, creating a timeless and romantic atmosphere that made their yacht wedding in Sarasota truly unique.

The intimacy of their day was what made it so special. With only their closest loved ones on board, Karen and Tim’s Love Boat celebration felt deeply personal. A true reflection of their love story. Every smile, every golden ray of sunset, and every heartfelt moment was beautifully preserved, turning their wedding into a collection of memories they’ll cherish forever.

As the evening came to a close and the Love Boat made its way back to shore, the couple shared one last dance under the stars, the perfect ending to a perfect day on the Gulf.

Kylee + Luke Step Into The Limelight | Cross Creek Ranch | Seffner, FL

Under the warm November sun, Kylee and Luke said “I do” surrounded by love, laughter, and the golden hues of fall at Cross Creek Ranch in Seffner, Florida. Their wedding day perfectly reflected who they are. Intimate, heartfelt, and full of thoughtful personal touches.

The couple’s color palette of navy blue, maroon, desert coral, and terracotta created a warm, inviting farmhouse atmosphere, combining rustic elegance with the cozy feeling of home. The hues complemented the lush greenery that surrounded the celebration beautifully at Cross Creek Ranch.

Their dogs played a special role in the day, woven into details big and small. Something that made the celebration uniquely theirs.

Kylee and Luke’s love story began in 2022 with a simple Snapchat message and a photo of Kylee’s dog, Cooper. From that moment, their connection was instant and enduring. When Luke proposed during a private sunset cruise in the Florida Keys, with Kylee’s grandparents looking on, it was everything she’d dreamed of.

Their wedding was filled with joy and creativity, from a T-shirt toss in place of the traditional bouquet and garter, to laughter filled dances and emotional vows during their first touch. As the evening came to a close, Kylee and Luke shared a private last dance, soaking in one final quiet moment together before their dazzling sparkler exit.

Cozy. Comfortable. Welcomed. Happy. Those were the words Kylee used to describe her dream wedding; and that’s exactly what it was.

Congratulations, Kylee and Luke. Your wedding was as beautiful and genuine as the love you share.

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.
