Professional and Easy to work

Had the pleasure of working alongside Aysia and the team from Limilight Photography at a wedding I was DJing, and they were absolutely amazing from start to finish. Their turnaround was very quick, and their attention to detail really stood out throughout the entire event.

They captured every special moment seamlessly while staying professional and easy to work with all night. Highly recommend Limilight Photography to any couple looking for a reliable and talented wedding photography team.

Best Dau Ever

We hired Limelight Photography for our wedding. Limelight was on the list for suggested vendors at our venue ‘Sunken Gardens’. Limelight’s videos and pictures on their website was absolutely stunning and the reviews were remarkable. Our Lead photographer Daphne Spencer was familiar with the location and planed beautiful photos along with some inspirational photos we had seen previously. Daphne and her team; Associate Photographer: Aysia Pagan and Lead Videographer: Earl Speid, were absolutely amazing and went above and beyond, capturing amazing photos and a beautiful video. Daphne, Aysia and Earl captured our love for one another by freezing genuine moments, our shared laughter and quiet embraces for each other. I seem to cry happy tears every time I watch our video.
My husband Jim and I have received so many complements from friends and family on our pictures and video we are overjoyed that we can relive our wedding every day and hear every promise that was captured to one another. We were pleased the package we purchased included all the photos that were taken because all of them came out so beautiful. It would have been hard to choose a certain number of photos. Because of Daphne and her team our wedding experience was truly a remarkable day. Daphne and her team were very organized throughout the whole process and helped ensure all desired photos were taken. Prior to the wedding, we created a list of all the photos we wanted with family members and friends. The list was key for everything flowing so smoothly. After the wedding ceremony, Daphne’s team was able to quickly organize all the people for the photos. It worked out great. During the reception, the photographers also took many beautiful photos. We received all the photos and have been ecstatic with the results. We highly recommend Limelight Photography! We would like to give the whole team a heartfelt Thank you from the both of us.

Thank you
Jim and Jodie Steinmetz

I 1000% recommend using Limelight Photography!

The staff is amazing and super responsive. Natalia Fontes and Noelle Topa were my photographers and Allie Vogel was my content creator. Their energy was contagious and they were a lot of fun to work with on the wedding day.

If you want any wedding content within 24 hours, I highly recommend getting a content creator. Allie sent over 600 photos and clips that were beautiful! She also sent a highlight real that instantly made my husband and I tear up.

I can’t wait to also see Natalia and Noel’s photos soon!

Stunning Photos!

Limelight Photography was an excellent choice for our wedding photography. From the start, their communication style was attentive to detail, prompt, enthusiastic, and extremely organized. Their team of photographers, including our lead Rebecca and associate Adrian, captured our day beautifully with natural, luxury-quality photos that were thoughtfully enhanced. They recreated our inspiration photos perfectly and provided great recommendations for group shots at our ceremony at Sacred Heart Catholic Church and reception at the Grand Hyatt Tampa Bay. Limelight's professionalism shone through as they got wonderful pictures of all our guests, and we received all the photos back within just 3 weeks, making it very easy to access and share our special day. We are thrilled to have these beautiful memories to look back on forever.

Breathtaking

I could fill several pages raving about Daphne and Aysia!! When I looked through all their pictures on the website I was captivated and even picked a few out that were my favorites. From the first initial contact we got a response right away and from the first phone call a day later I knew right away we had found the perfect company to capture our special day. I sent the owner the pictures I was obsessing over which were the ones on a beach for we were getting married at the beach and I hit the jackpot to find out the photographer assigned to us was Daphne and she was the one who had taken all of pictures that I had been obsessing over!! Jackpot!! Daphne was patient with me as I changed my mind several times on the details of what pictures I wanted and when and of whom and the timeline of that day. She gave me a complete list of the timeline once I finalized all my ideas and requests. Daphne put together the perfect timeline and photo set lists. All of our phone conversations were extremely pleasant and I could tell that Daphne was a true genuine, kind person who loves what she does!! The day of our wedding Daphne and Aysia arrived early with the best energy, upbeat and I felt like they truly were excited to capture our wedding! They both helped me pose and made me feel even more beautiful that day and already had me excited with their positive feedback and true excitement after each photo of how amazing the pictures were coming out. By the time the ceremony started I wanted them to feel like guests at our wedding we had so much fun. During the ceremony I thought for sure I would see them moving around a lot or being close to us at the alter that sometimes can happen when trying to photograph the ceremony. Not only did I not see them in anyone’s line of sight but they were very quiet as they moved around, and during our personal vows I looked out at our guests and I could see Daphne and Aysia with true excitement and tears in their eyes. They both were truly engaged in us as a couple and the photoshoot with my new husband on the beach was one of the best experiences! We did poses from the examples I sent her a week prior, we laughed, they were both so encouraging, made us feel so comfortable and their energy was infectious. We were both sad when we had to say goodbye to them when our time was over. I knew the photos would be amazing but two weeks later when we got all our final pictures I had no words!! Our photos came out PHENOMENAL and EXQUISITE!! There is not one that we didn’t love!! They captured the happiness and love with our close family and friends. The sunset beach pictures were so captivating that when I posted them to social media and showed our friends they all said, “these are the best wedding photos I have ever seen! Who was your photographer?” I can’t recommend Limelight enough especially Daphne and Aysia! If you want the most amazing wedding photos don’t hesitate to hire them immediately you will not be disappointed and their prices were the best around!!!

Dream Photography Team✨

My husband and I can confidently say that Limelight was the BEST decision we made for one of our wedding vendors. We booked photography, cinematography, and content creation for our wedding at Isla Del Sol Yacht and Country Club! From beginning to end, the whole Limelight team was extremely attentive, professional, and efficient. Rebecca was so flexible with allowing us to go on a payment plan that worked best for our pay schedule! Our lead photographer was Dafne Spencer and I cannot say enough INCREDIBLE things about her. She was detailed oriented with our photography schedule and that part made me feel the most confident in our day going perfectly. She thought of every detail and planned the whole day perfectly for the entire team. Dafne was the best for making us feel comfortable, beautiful, sexy and most importantly seen as the most special thing in any place we took pictures! Pj was the associate photographer that gave us the perfect amount of humor and direction with getting all we wanted captured in the day! Allie Vogel was our content creator and she was so kind and creative with the photos and videos she took of all of the behind the scenes moments that we really wanted to have right after the wedding! And she got the photos and videos to us in less than 24 hours after the wedding! Earl Speid was the lead cinematographer and he was so nice from the beginning. We got his teaser video and in just a minute and a half we were in tears of how he was able to capture all of the emotions and beauty of our day. Even with all of these people, I promise that we did not even notice them in our big moments because they were so discreet when they needed to be and they worked very cohesively with each other. On top of all of that, we got the most gorgeous photos that came back in less that 3 weeks after our wedding! We can’t thank the team enough for these incredible keepsakes that we will cherish forever!

Limelight Photography

If you are looking for a wedding photographer, I highly recommend Limelight Photography. Limelight Photography provided professional service from beginning to end. After showing interest in Limelight Photography, Rebecca reached out immediately to set up a zoom call. During the call, Rebecca learned more about what we were looking for and was very clear about all of the options available through her company. Prior to the wedding, we had multiple calls to go over our timeline and shot list. I absolutely loved that they had everything planned out for us while taking into account our preferences and requests. On our wedding day, Natalia and Jackie were fabulous. Both photographers got amazing photos without being a distraction during the event, and you could tell that they truly love capturing life’s memorable moments. They checked in with us throughout the day to make sure they were capturing all of the photos we wanted. We received our photos within 2.5 weeks of our wedding, and we were thrilled with the final product. We have beautiful photos that we can cherish for years!

Effortless, Professional, and so Talented- Highly Recommend

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Dafne Spencer of Limelight Photography for our May 2025 wedding at the Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach, and we truly couldn’t be happier with the entire experience.
We first discovered Limelight through our venue’s list of preferred vendors. As we browsed through photos that initially caught our eye, we were delighted to learn that many of the stunning marketing shots we fell in love with were captured by Dafne and the Limelight team. Her style immediately stood out from the crowd—elegant, natural, and timeless.

From the beginning, we were looking for a photographer with a relaxed approach—someone who would help us feel completely at ease and allow us to be ourselves in front of the camera. Since we were planning our intimate wedding from Boston, it was also incredibly important that our personalities clicked. After our initial FaceTime meeting and several follow-up calls, we knew that Dafne—and owner Rebecca—were exactly what we were looking for: warm, professional, and so easy to connect with.

That sense of connection and trust absolutely shines through in our final photos. We had been nervous about posing and how we might look on camera, but Dafne made the whole experience feel like we were just spending time with a close friend. Her calm presence, sense of humor, and clear direction helped us relax completely—and the results are better than we ever could have imagined.

Beyond her incredible talent behind the lens, Dafne was a true professional every step of the way—always punctual, communicative, and willing to do whatever it took to get the perfect shot. She has an amazing eye for detail and navigated everything on the wedding day with grace and ease. From managing complex family dynamics to moving quickly through portraits so we could enjoy our cocktail hour—and even making sure we sat down to eat dinner—she went above and beyond in every possible way.

We will forever treasure our wedding photos and are so grateful to Dafne and the entire Limelight team for capturing the magic of our day with such authenticity, artistry, and care. We wholeheartedly recommend Limelight Photography to any couple looking for a talented, kind, and truly exceptional photographer.

One word… incredible!

Dafne was absolutely amazing!!!! We just got our engagement photos back and I am crying over how PERFECT they are!! I seriously cannot wait for our wedding day - I know Limelight is going to take very good care of us and this is one of our vendors I will not have to worry about at all. Our entire experience so far has been absolutely incredible, from our first call with Rebecca where she guided us on exactly what we would need to achieve our must haves for photo and video - it was an instant book for us!! Dafne was so kind on our first call with her after learning she would be our lead photographer, giving us a rundown of what to expect for the engagement shoot and the entire planning process! She was extremely flexible as we were dealing with weather and had to change the date of the shoot less than a week before! My fiancé and I had a blast during the shoot and could not be happier with our experience. I cannot say enough good things about Dafne and the whole Limelight team. If you are looking for an incredible photographer for your wedding who you know you can trust - book them!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
