Gina and Lawrence rang in the new year—and a new chapter—at the Lightner Museum on December 31st, 2020. This wasn't just a ceremony; it was a family coming together, with their kids standing beside them in front of the museum's glowing stained glass window. Lawrence in his teal suit and burgundy bow tie, Gina in a slate gray beaded gown, the crystal chandelier reflecting off the polished floor—everything about this intimate elopement felt intentional and unhurried. After exchanging vows, they rang the museum's ceremonial bell together and wandered the courtyard for portraits among the palm trees and fountain.

Rob and Jill are AMAZING! The photos on their website are indicative of the quality of work you may expect for your event. They are an incredible team who has the unique ability to remain professional while putting you completely at ease. You will love being photographed by them...it felt like they knew us personally. Because of COVID, we are having our reception in the summer, and we will be hiring them again for that event. The candid moments Rob captured on film were my personal favorites. I wish I could give them ten stars!
