On September 7th, Addison and Brett celebrated their love in style with a stunning destination wedding on the Yacht Starship in Clearwater, Florida. Living in Missouri, they invited friends and family from across the country to join them in this unforgettable coastal setting. Their day was filled with beautiful moments, thoughtful details, and the perfect mix of elegance and fun.

James is from Ohio and loves Ohio State so Carolease took his love for scarlet and grey and made that their color palette, he even had OSU cufflinks wedding band. You really can’t go wrong with roses they are timeless and beautiful. The funny part is some of their friends are from Michigan and one of his groomsmen had a little Michigan accessory surprise he threw in there. B

We had a wonderful time with Tampa locals Nichole +Everett who essentially held a destination wedding for their Midwestern families aboard the Yacht StarShip.

The couple got ready with their bridal party at the Tampa Marriott Water Street which always makes for good pre-ceremony portraits. The light that comes streaming in from the massive windows plus the light colored walls makes it seem like we are shooting inside a giant soft box light.

We had a blast photographing Tara+Nick’s cruise ship wedding in Tampa Bay Harbor aboard the Yacht Starship. The weather was perfect, crystal clear and the wind minimal. The Yacht Starship weddings are so great for the couple because their packages are all inclusive so all you have to do is show up and have a great party.

We love a unique wedding venue, and the Yacht Starship sure delivers! There is something so quintessentially Clearwater about a wedding on the water and you can’t get much closer than a wedding on a yacht!
