ABOUT
You're not planning a photoshoot.
You're planning one of the
most meaningful days of your life.
If you want a wedding that feels overly posed and controlled from start to finish, I'm probably not your person. But if you want your day documented in a way that feels real, emotional, and alive, then you are in the right place.
I'm a Tampa-based wedding photographer and my approach is a mix of gentle direction and observation. I'll guide you through the moments that call for it, especially during portraits where a more editorial, intentional feel is desired. Outside of that, I step back and allow your day to unfold as it truly is...unforced and unscripted, so your day still feels like your day.
Because the truth is...the best wedding photos don't come from forcing anything. They come from real moments like your mom adjusting your dress without thinking, your partner looking at you like it finally hit that this is real, the chaos on the dance floor when nobody's performing anymore.
That's what I'm paying attention to.
I work best with couples who want a calm presence in their corner, and who care more about connection than perfection.
So, if you're looking for perfectly staged, overly controlled wedding photos where everything feels a little too polished and a little too quiet...I might not be your fit. But if you want your wedding day captured exactly as it felt, I'd love to be there with you for it.

IN RETROSPECT
I probably should have known that the girl whose first words were "money" not "mommy," would be an entrepreneur someday.
I'm a visual storyteller, avid people-watcher, and will be the one sorting all of the chaos into images that will end up bringing clarity to the wedding day.

If you're wondering if I'm
I'm mixed.
I offer a balanced combination of composed, curated moments and raw, real emotion. Every wedding I photograph is different, every couple I photograph is unique, and that's what inspires me.
Although I am very influenced by the aesthetics of editorial photography, I don't have just one photographic style. So, when I say that you are my inspiration, I really mean it.

what I'm
Loving
My heart beats for capturing the real, beautiful moments of love.
I'm loving the incredible connections I make with my clients. It's an honor to be trusted to capture some of the most important days of their lives by providing something that I genuinely love doing.
THE NITTY GRITTY
When I'm behind the camera and immersing myself in my work, I feel a deep connection to my couples - your laughter, your tears, and those quiet, tender moments all inspire me. I'm not just documenting your day, I'm celebrating it with you.
With so many talented photographers out there, it's essential to find someone who resonates with you. I hope my approach stands out - if you're looking for someone who will immerse themselves in your day and capture the heartfelt, unscripted moments, then we might just be the perfect fit.
what I'm
Learning
When you choose me as your wedding photographer, you are not just getting a skilled professional, you are getting someone who truly cares about you and your love story. I learn all about your journey, how you met, what you love about each other, your favorite songs, and what makes you laugh. I want to create a personal connection with you, so that when I take your photos, they reflect your personalities, your unique style, and the bond that you share.
what I'm
not about
Turning your wedding day into a photo shoot. Time is valuable on your big day, and I'm all about capturing the beauty and emotion of the moment quickly and efficiently.
what I
believe
I believe that a great wedding photographer should not only have the technical skills to capture amazing images but also have the ability to connect with people on a personal level.

FUN FACTS
I LOVE DOGS
My heart was once fully owned by Bella, my 130lb lap dog and if love could have saved her, she would have lived fur-ever. I'm grateful to have my two new sidekicks in my life now, Jax and Rip. I'm reminded again of the unconditional love and acceptance that furbabies bring to our lives.
"They embody the virtues of love, loyalty, and unconditional acceptance."
I'M LIVING MY DREAM
"My journey led me from financial struggles to capturing priceless moments for people from coast to coast."
For years, I thought doing what I loved for a living was just a pipe dream. It's been a humbling experience to have made it my reality.
My FAMILY IS MY LIFELINE AND GREATEST SOURCE OF JOY
"I take my love for my family as seriously as I take my morning coffee."
To put it best, my family is like a never-ending comedy show that I just want to binge-watch. My husband is the leading man, whose presence lights up our lives. Our teenager is the witty sidekick, keeping us constantly entertained. And our three older ones are the hilarious supporting cast that make every scene better. There's never a dull moment.
This could be you....

A STARBUCKS WHITE CHOCOLATE MOCHA FRAPPUCCINO WITH LIGHT MOCHA DRIZZLE
"It's the drink that has seen me through everything from stressful deadlines to heartbreaks to Monday mornings."
So, imagine my surprise when one of my couples had their limo driver take a 20-minute detour on our way to their wedding reception just to ensure I got my Starbucks fix. It wasn't necessary, but it was an unexpected kind gesture that I'll never forget. That level of kindness and selflessness still inspires me to this day. I want all my clients to feel cared for, just like that couple made me feel.

IF I HAD TO DESCRIBE MYSELF IN ONE WORD, IT WOULD BE WORKAHOLIC
"The only thing getting any rest around here is my bitch face."
Let's just say that if there was a Nobel Prize for overtime, I'd have my acceptance speech ready. I don't only work M-F, I work most weekends too. I'm fueled by equal parts caffeine and love stories - which, coincidentally, makes me the perfect wedding photographer. And apparently, someone who inspires detours for coffee runs.
I'll never forget this moment

"When I first saw Lynnette's work on my friends wedding, I was sold! There was no doubt that I had to have her photograph my wedding too! Lynnette is creative, skilled, and she's committed to excellence from start to finish. We couldn't have been more blessed to work with her on our big day."
