Some weddings have it all — the elegance, the emotion, the energy, and those spontaneous moments you could never plan. Meg and Steve's wedding at Harborside Chapel in Safety Harbor was exactly that kind of day. From a dreamy first look bathed in golden light to crowd surfing with their guests at the end of the night, this one had my heart from start to finish. As a Tampa wedding photographer, days like this are exactly why I do what I do.

When over 1,200 people gather in one room with a single mission — to change the lives of Tampa's most vulnerable children — you feel it. The energy, the purpose, the hope in the room is almost tangible. That was the Metro Min Bridge Builders 2026 luncheon at the JW Marriott Tampa, and it was an absolute privilege to be behind the lens for every moment of it this year and all the years I’ve had the privilege of capturing it.

There is something truly magical about a Tampa maternity session at golden hour, and Logan and Kevin's session at Cypress Point Park was exactly that. From the lush mangrove boardwalks to the soft sandy shores of Tampa Bay, every frame from this session felt like a dream.

And then there was their adorable goldendoodle, who stole the show with a pair of tiny Florida Gator shoes. We are not sorry. 🐊🐾

The Bilmar sits right on the sand along Gulf Boulevard in Treasure Island, just west of St. Pete — beachfront, polished, and with some of the most spectacular sunset views on Florida's west coast. Hayden and Casey live in Orlando and their families came in from all over the country. The Bilmar made it easy for everyone to be fully present, with guests steps from the beach for the entire celebration.

An intentional, design-forward guide for couples planning an intimate wedding with meaning, style, and connection. Micro weddings aren’t a compromise. They’re a conscious choice.

Aaron reached out to me ahead of their trip, sharing that he and Kayla would be visiting her brother in Dunedin. While the visit itself was innocent enough, Aaron had a secret tucked into his pocket and a plan forming in his heart. He wanted to completely surprise Kayla by getting down on one knee and asking her to be his forever.

Cristina and Carlos’ Ybor City wedding was filled with color, joy, and so many meaningful personal touches. They wanted to have a first look and amazing portraits indoors, so they got ready at Hotel Haya, one of our favorite spots in Ybor. After their first look, Carlos surprised Cristina which a gorgeous tennis bracelet! We explored the lobby for portraits, including my personal favorite location—the Library! The clean lines, textures, and unique vibe made it the perfect backdrop for modern and romantic wedding photos. The decor and the vibe of the hotel was perfection. Even the furniture matched the colors:-)

Angel and her family are dear friends of mine, so this wedding was extra special. I had the honor of photographing her sister Ashley and brother-in-law Derrick’s wedding in 2021, and now it was Angel’s turn to say “I do” to her perfect match, Dirrell, at the Tampa Museum of Art.

When Emmah and I first chatted about her and Josh’s engagement session, she had such a beautiful, intentional vision for it. She wanted the style to be lifestyle-inspired, organic, neutral, and centered around a waterfront vibe—basically all of my favorite things to photograph! She even wanted to end in the water, which made it extra dreamy.

There’s nothing quite like the magic of a surprise beach proposal, especially when it happens during golden hour on the beautiful shores of St. Pete Beach.

One of the best parts of what I do is getting to walk through so many seasons of life with the amazing couples I photograph. I’ve known Sara and Javaris since their engagement session and wedding day, and it’s been such a joy to stay connected over the years.
