Morgan + Hunter Step Into The Limelight | Yacht StarShip | Clearwater Beach, FL

In May of 2016 is where it all began for Hunter & Morgan…

These two had mutual friends and met at a bar while in Morgan was in college. In July of 2016 is when they made it official and started dating.

Hunter and Morgan love being on the water and the warm weather that comes with visiting Florida (since these two currently live in Virginia!). They found the Yacht Starship when they were down visiting Hunter’s parents in Clearwater. They went on a tiki boat ride and saw the Yacht while they were out and then immediately looked into it for their big day!

How Hunter proposed: 

Morgan said… “I thought he was hunting per usual on the weekends in November. His mom was in town and we went for a girl's day at one of my favorite vineyards - Upper Shirley Vineyard. We were drinking wine when all of a sudden Hunter tapped me on the shoulder out of nowhere! He walked me down by the water and proposed!”.

We are so happy for these two. Their love and happiness is radiant and they are just so excited to be married after 7 years together!

Katie + Mike Step Into The Limelight | The Resort at Longboat Key Club | Sarasota, FL

Katie and Mike met in 2016 while they were both on vacation in New Jersey celebrating the 4th of July. While out with friends, the two met and formed an instant connection. After the holiday weekend, Katie returned home to Dallas and Mike to New York City. Over the years, love prevailed over distance and Katie and Mike decided on Austin to start the next chapter in their love story. On September 21st, 2021, Mike proposed to Katie at the botanical gardens, a favorite spot of theirs for date nights and live music.
Katie and Mike balance each other out perfectly and in a beautiful way they are both very laid back… they enjoy cooking, traveling, trying new restaurants and walking with their dog Cooper.
We can describe their wedding day as classic, pure and peaceful. It all went according to plan and they were able to enjoy each moment with ease. It was just lovely {just like Katie and Mike}.
We want to wish these two sweet souls a lifetime of happiness and many many meaningful moments together as Mr. & Mrs! Cheers!

Danielle + Tom Step Into The Limelight | Yacht StarShip | Tampa, FL

Danielle and Tom’s story starts in 2015 when they were both working in New York. They began carpooling together because they lived close, and those car rides eventually turned into date nights.

Because it’s oh-so romantic, we just have to tell you how Tom proposed…

Tom invited Danielle along with both of their parents to enjoy the Christmas light show at Jones Beach in NY while visiting for Thanksgiving. While walking through the winter wonderland, everyone stopped to take pictures and to take in the beautiful Christmas lights. After posing for an odd amount of time for pictures and videos, Tom took a step back, with a shaky voice said "I love you so much" and got on one knee in front of their parents. Not only was this the most beautiful moment and atmosphere, but it was, by no coincidence, the same place they shared their first date 6 summers before. 

While Danielle and Tom now live in the Tampa Bay area, much of their family came from out of town, so they wanted their wedding celebration to be like a vacation for all of their loved ones! What a fun reverse-destination wedding for the couple, but sweet getaway for family. 

These two wanted a simple, but stunning wedding day—and that’s just what they got. With a beautiful ride in Tampa Bay, a fun lunch-style wedding, and a whole day to spare in Tampa following the celebration, it was truly a relaxing and joyful occasion.

Taylor + Alex Step Into The Limelight | Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach Resort And Spa | Clearwater Beach, FL

Alex and Taylor met in 2016 in Clearwater Beach, when they were both out for dinner. Taylor was with her friends and Alex was by himself, a mutual friend was at the bar and insisted on introducing us. The rest is history!

Alex then proposed to Taylor when they were at the top of Beech Mountain, NC (5506'), they found a place to sit with the most spectacular view! Alex got down acting like something was wrong with his ski boot.  For a few seconds Taylor thought to herself, "OMG why is he down on one knee".  He then told her how much he loved her and asked Taylor to be his wife.

Taylor loves everything about Alex, he is selfless, kind and sees the positive in everything. Alex loves Taylor’s kindness, work ethic, good nature, big heart. Both Alex and Taylor love the Florida outdoors! 4 wheeling, boating, beach days, pool days. They also love to ski!

Their inspiration for wedding location was clear… it all started in Clearwater Beach then made official in Beech Mountain only to be beautifully tied back on the Beach!

Alex and Taylor was formal with a tropical theme all throughout incorporating their beach theme.
We loved watching everyone celebrating Alex and Taylor’s LOVE and we wish this sweet couple many more adventures together as Mr & Mrs!

Sammi + Mihai Step Into The Limelight | St. Pete Pier | St. Petersburg, FL

Pure joy = Sammi + Mihai’s love.

Engagement sessions are some of our favorite session to capture because it allows us to get to know our bride and groom outside of the busyness of the wedding day, and we sure LOVED this session with Sammi and Mihai.

Sammi and Mihai wanted photos in St. Pete, where we could highlight the beautiful sunset in the city and walk around the pier during golden hour, and that we did! It was truly a beautiful day for an engagement session, with cooler temps, a slight breeze and the light hit the cityscape just perfectly the entire session.

Sammi and Mihai radiate joy, love and excitement. Photographing them together was truly so easy and fun. These two are tying the knot in April 2024 and we couldn’t be more excited for them!!
