Lisa + Marco Step Into The Limelight | Don CeSar Hotel | St. Petersburg, FL

June 15, 2021

A couple of seasons ago, Lisa and Marco bonded over their love for black and gold.They fell in love and Marco proposed to Lisa at the halftime of a Steelers Game. She said “YES!” and the rest is history.

Because of COVID, this couple had to plan their wedding three times.You could say that three times is the charm because their wedding day was stunning! They were married on St. Pete Beach with the historic Don Cesar in the background and surrounded by loved ones.

This couple is SO SWEET.They love watching football, spending time with friends, traveling and trying new restaurants. If there is anything this couple love more than each other, it is their fur baby, Lily, who almost stole the show as the flower girl.

We loved being a part of this couple’s day! Congrats!

Michelle + Garrett Step Into The Limelight | Isla del Sol Yacht & Country Club | St. Petersburg, FL

March 5, 2021

Michelle and Garrett met at Florida State University. Right after Michelle graduated with her Masters degree, they took a vacation to Hilton Head, SC with their new puppy Westcott. Their vacation was planned to last a week and were visiting family in Raleigh NC and friends in Atlanta GA. Sunday night when they arrived in Hilton Head Michelle and Garret went to the beach for a picnic dinner. Right as Garrett was getting ready to propose on the beach, it began to RAIN! Their puppy went crazy, the beach got windy, and they had to scramble to pack up our picnic and run to the car. The entire time Michelle was oblivious but Garrett was panicking about the ring loose in his pocket. Once they got back to the Air B&B they watched one of the final episodes of their favorite show, Game of Thrones, and while were enjoying some chocolate lava cake in PJs, Garrett got down on one knee and popped the question! It was simple, intimate, and perfect.

Michelle loves Garrett’s sense of humor, competitiveness, and his grilling. Garrett loves Michelle’s infectious smile, positive attitude, and her cooking. Together, they enjoy Hiking, Cooking, Music festivals, listening to podcasts/audiobooks, taking care of their puppy, and watch all things marvel, harry potter, and Disney!

Both being from South Florida, they chose to have their beautiful wedding at Isla Del Sol. They loved the relaxing private beach and knew this is a place their guest would enjoy.

Their wedding day was Romanic, beachy, relaxing and elegant. It was a true celebration of their love, family and friends. This gorgeous couple also loved getting their photos taken so it was truly such a great time with them with some of the most epic shots captured! From first look under the gazebo, to the sparkler exit at the end, everything was simply beautiful!

We are so happy for you Michelle and Garrett! Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs!!!

Rachel + Joe Step Into the Limelight | The Vinoy Renaissance St. Petersburg Resort & Golf Club | St. Petersburg, FL

October 23, 2019

“St. Pete elegance meets party of the year!”

Joe and Rachel were set up on a blind date! Joe's Aunt Joanna and Rachel’s mom's friend Teresa work together as nurses at All Children's Hospital. They thought that they would be a good match, and they were so right! Together they enjoy boating, scuba diving, bike riding and playing with their pups. Joe proposed during a boat ride at their favorite spot, Sombrero Reef, in the Florida Keys. It is the most beautiful place and will forever mean so much to them! Joe and Rachel both have a sarcastic sense of humor and love making each other laugh.

Rachel and Joe planned a wedding that showcased to everyone their love for St. Pete. They both grew up his St. Pete and were proud to to bring out the beauty of the area at their wedding! Rachel dreamed of getting married at The Vinoy since she was in high school! It was their perfect, picturesque backdrop for their Old St. Pete style, elegant wedding featuring Florida palms. They love palm leaves incorporated them in the most elegant way! They also had a custom map of St. Pete created for their invitations as well as their menu cards. And obviously they loved their custom open bar! Another unique touch, were the custom-made tumblers guests took home, made personally by Joe! All take home goodies had a running theme, "Stolen from Rachel and Joe's Wedding”.

Overall there was an amazing party atmosphere with a wonderful and interactive band. When Joe began breaking out his amazing dance moves the party really got started!

Their love for this city and each other was clearing SHINE-ing!!! They are true Floridians through and through!

Rachael + Nick Step Into The Limelight | The Don Cesar | St. Petersburg, FL

July 18, 2019

Rachael and Nick met in my Junior year of college. Rachael was in school for by BSN in Fort Lauderdale and Nick was on an internship for golf in Kendall Florida. They love going to sport events, mostly baseball games, hockey and football. The proposal came as a complete surprise. They had season tickets to Saint Louis Cardinal's spring training games and Nick got extra tickets to go on the field and in the dugout Nick got someone to film the whole thing. It was spectacular!

Rachael and Nick had always wanted to have their wedding on the beach so having it at the Don Cesar was definitely the perfect place to say their I Do’s. Their ceremony was beautifully decorated with floral and an arch that set just the right romantic mood for the couple. The day was gorgeous with the sky full of clouds. This made for some dramatic photos of the couple right before they went inside their reception room to celebrate the night away.
