Urban Stillhouse Wedding | Anne & Bill

Looking back, I realized that Anne has been my client since 2012! Over the years, I've had the pleasure of capturing several headshots and branding sessions for her. She always told me that when she and Bill got engaged, I would be her go-to photographer. And guess what? On June 10, 2023, their special day finally arrived at the stunning Urban Stillhouse in St. Pete.

St. Petersburg Wedding | Anne & Marie

Love knows no bounds, and Anne and Marie's wedding was a testament to the depth of their affection. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of their friends' private home, nestled across the street from the magnificent Don Cesar on the Intracoastal, this intimate celebration brought together cherished friends and family. Anne and Marie had their hair and makeup done together, but then didn’t see each other totally ready until they walked down the aisle.

Cambria Madeira Beach Hotel Wedding | Lynda + Walt Reconnect

Sometimes life brings you full circle. Lynda + Walt have known each other for 30+ years, but re-connected at the rooftop bar of Cambria Madeira Beach Hotel while Lynda was there on a girl’s weekend with her daughter. The venue therefore was the obvious choice for their wedding with her daughter Kyla as her maid of honor.

Safety Harbor Resort Wedding | Heather & Hunter

Heather and Hunter’s intimate destination wedding was hosted at the Safety Harbor Resort. These two, and their families, came down from Missouri to celebrate the couple’s union. It was a very warm August day, but the sky was clear of clouds, which is always a blessing for a summer day in Florida! Although the festivities were indoors, we’re always hopeful for a no rain wedding day for our couples.

At the beginning of August, Sadie and Michael celebrated their much-anticipated wedding day in Safety Harbor, Florida. The couple and their families could not have been more thrilled for their joyous day, and the weather could not have been more ideal. Each of their days began at Harborside Chapel and continued at nearby Safety Harbor Resort and Spa, and both their ceremony and reception were beautiful. I cannot wait to share more!
