Limelight Photography: Tara and Yusuf Featured In the Limelight | Vinoy Renaissance

Tara has been a busy bride since her engagement session near the Vinoy! She worked tirelessly to plan every little detail of her wedding to Yusuf so that it would be a wedding uniquely theirs and with great memories for their guests. And rightly so, since both Tara and Yusuf are very detail-oriented; so much so that when Tara had wine spilled on her dress by a friend the night Yusuf proposed, he was afraid it was going to ruin his plans! But, as he said, "the show must go on", and after having to hide the ring in his sock so Tara wouldn't find it, he proposed on the deck of their cruise ship.

Every girl is a princess on her wedding day, but not every bride's story begins at Disney like Tara and Yusuf's. They worked together at the Disney Wilderness Resort, and after admiring each other for a long time, made their relationship official. While Tara is absolutely crazy about Disney, she didn't want their wedding to feel like the resort; so the details she selected were a beautiful nod to the couple's meeting location, their love of traveling, and each other. And while their wedding day wasn't picture perfect - of course, I don't know of a Disney movie that doesn't have some kind of near-tragic event - with the rain, a super-loud thunder clap during their vows, and a power outage during the reception (quickly restored), these lovebirds were able to let their love shine through it all and have a wonderfully memorable day no matter what - and we even ended the night by taking pictures a tucked-away, secret Juliet balcony!! Congratulations Tara and Yusuf! May your love shine bright, and may you live happily ever after!
