Noelle Topa | Associate Photographer

Hi there! My name is Noelle.

Originally from Scranton, Pennsylvania, I made the sunny move to Tampa, Florida, where I discovered my passion for photography. Growing up, I was always a dedicated art student, but it wasn’t until my senior year of high school that I truly found my calling.

My dad convinced me to take a photography class and lent me his Canon Rebel T6i camera. Initially, I was skeptical because I had never considered photography as more than a casual interest. I wasn’t sure if I’d enjoy it or if I had the technical skills to excel. Plus, the thought of learning to use a professional camera seemed daunting. However, as soon as I started using the camera, I was captivated by the process of capturing the world through the lens.

I began by photographing nature, organizing mini photoshoots with friends, and honing my photo editing skills. What started as a hobby quickly evolved into a true passion during my first semester of college. Another photography class cemented my decision to pursue this art form as a career. From that point on, I dedicated myself to learning new techniques and expanding my skills, constantly seeking to capture the world in fresh and innovative ways.

One of my greatest joys is working at weddings. There is something incredibly special about being part of such a significant and joyous occasion. I love the challenge and excitement of capturing the myriad of emotions that unfold throughout the day—from the anticipation and nervousness of getting ready to the joy and love radiating during the ceremony and celebrations. Each wedding is unique, and I strive to document every moment with authenticity and artistry, creating timeless memories for couples to cherish forever.

My love for photography grows with each new experience and discovery. At Limelight Photography, I bring this enthusiasm and dedication to every shoot, striving to create beautiful, lasting memories for my clients. I am excited to continue exploring the endless possibilities of photography and to share my passion with you.
