Cruising Into Forever | Lexi + Dylan’s Yacht Starship Wedding

Lexi and Dylan’s Clearwater wedding was the kind of day that keeps you smiling from start to finish—and honestly, we wouldn’t expect anything less from a couple whose love story began as an April Fool’s “joke.”

Yes, really. Dylan downloaded Bumble at work just to entertain his coworkers… and ended up meeting his future wife. One match, one conversation, and that was it. Safe to say, that joke aged incredibly well.

Fast forward to their wedding day, and the energy was just as fun, effortless, and full of personality as their story.

Before stepping aboard the Yacht Starship, Lexi and Dylan shared a quiet first look at their hotel. It was one of those rare moments where everything slows down in the best way. The nerves faded, the smiles came naturally, and Dylan’s signature goofy charm showed up right on cue—just as Lexi said it would. From that first glance, it was clear: these two bring out something special in each other.

Then it was time to take the celebration to the water.

Their Yacht Starship wedding captured everything we love about Clearwater—coastal breezes, glowing views, and an atmosphere that felt equal parts romantic and wildly fun. Surrounded by friends, family, and the open Gulf, Lexi and Dylan said their vows in a setting that felt completely true to who they are: relaxed, joyful, and full of life.

And in a move that perfectly matched their energy, they sealed their marriage with a shared shot. Iconic, unforgettable, and completely them.

As the sun dipped lower and the city lights began to glow, the celebration kicked into full gear. What followed was nothing short of the party of the century. The dance floor stayed packed, laughter echoed across the deck, and every moment felt alive with energy. Whether they were dancing, mingling, or stealing a quick moment together, Lexi and Dylan made the entire evening feel like one big, joyful celebration—not just of their wedding, but of their life together.

Throughout it all, their connection was undeniable. Dylan kept everyone laughing, while Lexi lit up every space she stepped into. Together, they created an atmosphere that was warm, vibrant, and completely unforgettable.

From a mountain-view proposal in Tennessee to a wedding day cruising along Clearwater’s coastline, their story is filled with adventure, laughter, and a shared love for the things that make life fun—good food, great drinks, fishing trips, and gaming nights. They’re the kind of couple who not only enjoy life to the fullest but bring everyone around them along for the ride.

Lexi and Dylan, your wedding day was unforgettable in all the best ways. We’re so honored we got to capture every laugh, every happy tear, and every celebratory shot.

Krissy + Gunnar Step Into The Limelight | Tampa Water Limo | Tampa, FL

A Sunset Boat Engagement Session in Tampa | Krissy & Gunnar

There are some engagement sessions that feel less like a photoshoot and more like spending an evening with friends, and that was exactly the feeling during Krissy and Gunnar’s engagement session aboard the Tampa Water Limo | Dulcinea.

From the moment we stepped onto the boat, I knew this session was going to be something special. The entire experience was so them. Relaxed, adventurous, full of laughter, and completely focused on enjoying the moment together. As their engagement photographer in Tampa, I always love getting the opportunity to truly connect with my couples before their wedding day, and this evening gave us exactly that.

Krissy and Gunnar’s love story began in 2024 in the most unexpected way. Gunnar’s mom secretly set them up on a date without either of them knowing. Safe to say she knew exactly what she was doing because these two instantly connected. Their relationship has been built around adventure, laughter, and not taking life too seriously. Whether they are wakeboarding, traveling, or simply enjoying life together, their playful connection is something you can feel immediately.

Their proposal was just as romantic. Gunnar planned what Krissy thought was a simple date night in Clearwater with her best friend, but as the sun began setting over the beach, he surprised her with the question that would begin their next chapter together.

For their engagement session, there could not have been a more fitting location than the water. The weather forecast had us a little nervous because Florida weather always likes to keep us guessing, but we trusted Captain Matt, stayed patient, and were rewarded with the most beautiful sunset over Tampa Bay. The golden skies, gentle waves, and peaceful atmosphere created the perfect backdrop for their Tampa engagement photography session.

One of my favorite parts of this session was simply getting to know Krissy and Gunnar. We spent the evening talking, laughing, and creating candid moments that truly reflected who they are as a couple. Those genuine interactions are what I love most about photojournalistic photography, capturing the real smiles, quiet moments, and memories that will bring them right back to this season of their lives.

Krissy and Gunnar, thank you for trusting me to document this exciting chapter! I had the best time getting to know you both and cannot wait to celebrate your wedding day and continue telling your story.

Jessica + Pete Step Into The Limelight | Sale e Pepe | Marco Island, FL

Jessica & Pete | Sale e Pepe Wedding in Marco Island, Florida

Jessica and Pete's wedding day was more than just a beautiful beachside celebration. It was a return to a place that has been part of their story for years.

Marco Island has always held a special place in Jessica's heart. Her family has vacationed there for more than three decades, she learned to walk on its beaches, and it's where Pete proposed while they were expecting their daughter. When it came time to choose a wedding location, there was never much question about where they wanted to say "I do."

Their wedding took place at Sale e Pepe, one of Marco Island's most iconic waterfront venues. Located along the Gulf, the venue combines elegant coastal charm with stunning beach views, making it the perfect setting for a wedding that felt both sophisticated and relaxed.

The design of the day featured eucalyptus greenery, white roses, touches of blush pink, and gold accents throughout the ceremony and reception spaces. The overall vision was timeless and elegant while still feeling warm and inviting for their family and friends.

After exchanging personal vows on the beach, guests enjoyed cocktail hour overlooking the Gulf before heading into a candlelit reception filled with great food, heartfelt speeches, and plenty of dancing. Thoughtful details like personalized espresso cup favors and a custom guestbook painted by a close friend added a personal touch to the celebration.

Jessica and Pete first met through Facebook Dating in late 2022. After a phone call and their first dinner date, they quickly realized they had found something special. Nearly four years later, they were surrounded by their favorite people on the same beach where their engagement began, celebrating the start of their marriage.

It was a day full of family, laughter, beautiful scenery, and meaningful moments. A perfect fit for two people whose story has always been connected to Marco Island.

Ashley + Zach Step Into The Limelight | Lithia Acres | Lithia, FL

A Wedding Day Rooted in Love and Tradition | Ashley + Zach

Some wedding days are meticulously planned down to the minute, while others unfold naturally, fueled by love, laughter, and a couple who simply wants to soak in every moment together. Ashley and Zach's beautiful June wedding at Lithia Acres was exactly that—a celebration centered around what mattered most: their love and the people who mean the world to them.

One of the most meaningful details of the day was Ashley's wedding gown. In a beautiful tribute to family and tradition, she wore her mother's wedding dress. Not only was it incredibly special, but it fit her like it was made just for her. Seeing Ashley step into a gown filled with so much history and love was an unforgettable moment and a reminder of the generations of marriage and family that helped shape this day.
