Lisa + Apostolos Step Into The Limelight | St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church | Tarpon Springs Yacht Club | Tarpon Springs, FL

September 4, 2024

We were honored to capture the love story of Lisa and Apostolos at their stunning wedding celebration. This couple first met in 1982 on a handball court in middle school 🏫, and after 42 years of friendship and fun, they finally tied the knot 💍. Apostolos proposed in December 2023 🎄, following a month-long trip to Greece and Italy 🇬🇷🇮🇹, in front of their closest friends. Their wedding story was straight out of a Hallmark movie—a tale of young love rekindled ❤️.

The theme of their wedding reflected their love for the beach 🏖️, boats ⛵, and their rich Greek and Italian heritages. The elegant and timeless outfits perfectly complemented the coastal vibe 🌊, while the DIY details added a personal touch. Wedding colors: Dusty Blue, Beach theme, beige, dusty rose. The couple made a grand entrance at the Tarpon Springs Yacht Club by boat 🚤, and the day was filled with unforgettable moments like a bubble exit during the ceremony, Greek dancing 💃, and breathtaking photos with a classic Rolls-Royce at the Spring Bayou.

As Tampa wedding photographers and Greek Orthodox wedding photographers, it was a joy to document their special day. From the beautiful ceremony to the "big fat Greek and Italian wedding" details, this wedding was truly unique because it took 42 years to get there 🕊️.

Jacquie + Chris Step Into The Limelight | Philippe Park | Safety Harbor, FL

August 29, 2024

There’s something undeniably magical about an engagement shoot that blends the natural beauty of a location with the genuine affection of a couple. That’s exactly what I experienced during Jacquie and Chris’s engagement session at Philippe Park. From the picturesque waterfront views to the charming tree-lined stairways, this shoot was a perfect canvas for capturing their love story.

Philippe Park, nestled along the serene waters, offered an idyllic backdrop for Jacquie and Chris’s engagement photos. The gentle waves of the bay, framed by lush greenery, created a stunning contrast that highlighted their connection. As we walked down the park’s enchanting stairs, framed by trees that whispered with the breeze, it was clear that this location was more than just a spot for photos—it was a symbol of their journey together.

One of the highlights of this session was undoubtedly the presence of Jacquie and Chris’s beloved dogs. These two furry friends added an extra layer of warmth and joy to the shoot. As they playfully bounded through the grass and posed for the camera with their humans, it was evident how much they are a cherished part of this couple’s life. Including pets in engagement photos is always a wonderful idea, as they truly are part of the family, and their presence adds a special touch to the memories being captured.

Throughout the shoot, I focused on capturing the authentic moments between Jacquie and Chris. From their candid laughter to their tender glances, every frame told a story of love and companionship. The way they looked at each other, with such genuine affection, made my job as a photographer not only enjoyable but profoundly rewarding. It’s moments like these that remind me why I love what I do.

As the sun began to set and the golden light filtered through the trees, we wrapped up the session with a few final shots by the water’s edge. The glow of the evening sun cast a warm, romantic light over the couple, creating a perfect end to a perfect day. The images we captured will serve as timeless keepsakes of Jacquie and Chris’s journey toward their wedding day.

Ana and Andrew's engagement photoshoot in downtown Safety Harbor was a beautiful blend of romance, charm, and resilience against the unpredictable weather. The day was cool, with clouds hanging overhead, creating a soft, diffused light that perfectly highlighted the couple's love and chemistry.

The photoshoot began on Main Street, where Ana and Andrew's natural connection was captured amidst the quaint charm of downtown Safety Harbor. The street's vibrant atmosphere, with its mix of vintage shops and cozy cafes, provided a picturesque backdrop. Ana wore a flowing dress that complemented Andrew’s classic look, and they strolled hand in hand, laughing and sharing whispered secrets. The couple posed in front of the iconic Safety Harbor Art and Music Center, its colorful murals adding a splash of whimsy to the photos. After exploring Main Street, the shoot moved to the boardwalk behind the Safety Harbor Resort and Spa. The gentle breeze from the bay added a sense of movement to Ana’s dress and Andrew’s hair, while the serene water provided a tranquil backdrop. Despite the threatening clouds, the rain held off, allowing for breathtaking shots of the couple against the dramatic sky.

Ana and Andrew embraced each other on the boardwalk, their silhouettes framed by the expansive view of the water. The lovebirds took a stroll along the wooden planks, their footsteps echoing softly as they stopped to admire the view. The photographer captured moments of laughter and quiet reflection, with Andrew wrapping his arms around Ana as they gazed out at the horizon.

The engagement photoshoot of Ana and Andrew in Safety Harbor was a testament to their enduring love and joy.

Katie + Alexandros Step Into The Limelight | Yacht StarShip IV | Tampa, FL

August 23, 2024

🌟 A Magical Wedding on Yacht Starship 🌟

This past weekend, our talented team of Tampa wedding photographers and Clearwater Beach wedding photographers had the incredible honor of capturing Katie and Alex's unforgettable wedding aboard the Yacht Starship. Despite a stormy start, the ceremony was moved indoors, where the huge, beautiful glass windows offered a stunning view of the ocean. The winds calmed just in time, allowing the couple to safely set sail and exchange their vows. After the ceremony, the storm cleared, revealing a breathtaking rainbow and a gorgeous sunset over the Gulf of Mexico.

Katie and Alex's Love Story

Katie and Alex's journey began in the early months of COVID-19 in 2020. Katie, seeking exercise, would take long evening walks through her neighborhood, passing by Alex's home where he often sat on his front porch. Over time, Alex noticed the beautiful woman passing by and eventually engaged her in conversation. Their connection blossomed when he tossed her a beverage from the porch, which she deftly caught, leading to many more evenings spent together.

The Proposal

Alex proposed during a family trip to the Epcot Flower and Garden Festival, hiding an artificial rose with a ring box among the flowers. At a scenic floral spot, Katie's children discovered the rose and handed it to Alex, who then proposed. The moment was beautifully captured by an incognito photographer Alex had hired.

The Wedding Day

Their wedding style combined sophistication and elegance with vibrant island vibes and colorful flowers. Katie's love for gardening complemented Alex's admiration for James Bond and the sea. The yacht's ambiance was a perfect blend of their distinct personalities, creating a unique and memorable experience.

Favorite Moments

Katie and Alex's favorite details included the breathtaking sunset, the banquet-style service with ample food and drinks, and the joyous atmosphere created by great music. The most cherished moment of the day was the golden hour leading up to sunset, as they exchanged their vows surrounded by loved ones.
