There’s something unmistakably timeless about a wedding filmed entirely on Kodak Super 8 film, especially when it takes place on the pristine shores of Longboat Key, Florida. Haylee and David’s wedding at the Longboat Key Club wasn’t just a celebration; it was a soulful coastal story told frame by frame in warm tones, soft grain, and unfiltered joy.

When I first met Jenny and Jake, it was beneath the skyline of Chicago. I’d flown up last year to capture their engagement session, running through city streets, chasing light and laughter, already knowing their wedding day would be something special. Fast forward to Clearwater Beach at the stunning JW Marriott and they brought that same energy, intimacy and boldness to the Florida coast. As a local Tampa wedding photographer for almost 8 years now, it’s couples like them who make storytelling feel effortless.

Some stories begin in the quiet moments, the stolen glances, the inside jokes, the slow walks through sun-drenched courtyards. Grace and Craig’s engagement session at The John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art in Sarasota, Florida was exactly that kind of beginning. As a Sarasota Wedding Photographer, sessions like these remind me how art and architecture can become more than just a backdrop, they become part of the couple’s story. The Ringling, with its grand archways and romantic gardens, felt like it was built just for them.

Tucked beneath the moss-draped oaks of Del Favero Oasis, Francesca & John exchanged vows in a moment that felt suspended in time, intimate, sun drenched, and effortlessly magical. With the genius touch of Melanie from Chantilly Chic Celebrations bringing every detail to life, their Tampa elopement was more than a wedding, it was a love story written in golden light, whispered breezes, and the soft hush of forever. If you’re dreaming of a day that feels like you, captured through timeless imagery by a Tampa Wedding Photographer who sees the soul in the story… this is the one.
