Nikki + Nick Step Into The Limelight | THE DON CESAR | ST. PETERSBURG, FL

Nick and Nikki’s story started a long time ago, before they even knew it! Nikki had a feeling she was supposed to know Nick when she saw him for the first time, and it indeed was fate since they found out Nikki’s mom was actually Nick’s gymnastics coach when he was a baby. That, along with all the other things they had in common, and they knew they were soulmates from the get-go. Their wedding day was nothing short of spectacular! The love that Nick and Nikki share is so special. They shared a private first look moment where they exchanged letters, and we could just tell how in love they are. Nick’s eyes lit up the moment he saw his beautiful bride and Nicki simply couldn’t stop smiling. The weather was absolutely amazing for their ceremony in the courtyard, followed by a live sax and an aerialist for cocktail hour and the fun didn’t even stop there! The couple hired samba dancers to perform at the reception to get the party started! Their priority was spending time with all of their family and friends and giving them a night to remember. From what everyone had to say about Nick and Nikki we just know that they have the most incredible life ahead of them. Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Ferreiro ❤️

Alexa + Luis Step Into The Limelight | Powel Crosley Estate | Sarasota, FL

Our Associate Photographer Alexa 📷 got married! AND Yes! We are here for it!

Alexa & Luis met freshmen year of high school and were close friends, they even partnered together their Senior Year for a “marriage project” and had a fur baby 🥰 They didn't start dating until a few years later when they were in College.

Soon after Luis tricked Alexa into thinking he was planning “fall photos” at the pumpkin patch where Alexa had been photographing fall mini photo sessions but he ended up popping the question right then and there. It was perfect! Both of their families and their puppy were there, and Luis surprised Alexa even more by having a party at Alexa’s aunt’s house afterwards with more family and friends! 

Luis loves that Alexa is willing to work as hard to build the best future for themselves and their future children. “She’s simply the best!” 🥰 Alexa loves that Luis is one of the most dedicated and hardworking people she know, he never fails to make her laugh, and that he pushes her to be her very best!

Alexa & Luis’ favorite thing to do is travel!! They also love hanging out with their puppy, and trying out new restaurants for date nights.

Their wedding day felt timeless and dreamy… the Powel Crosley Estate transported us to an elegant and vintage chic moment filled with BIG emotions, thoughtful details and most importantly familia! Each moment, each hug, each smile… they were all exactly what Alexa & Luis needed.

We truly are beyond excited and happy that one of our very own tied the knot and we were able to experience this one-of-a-kind day with Alexa & Luis. We wish you both, goodness & joy in all you do. Cheers!

Keara + Anthony Step Into The Limelight | Davis Islands Garden Club | Tampa, FL

Get to know Keara & Anthony…

How/when did you meet each other: 
In a nutshell, we met through a mutual friend at a birthday party.  
The longer story – My sorority sister asked me to join her for an evening of dining and dancing in celebration of her (then) boyfriend’s birthday.  I first told her “no” because it was raining and I did not feel like going out.  What happened next was the game changer.  She reached out to me again and convinced me to come out for the evening.  It was that “yes” moment that set the evening into motion.  Shortly after arriving at the nightclub, my sorority sister introduced me to a guy that she met the previous week at the same venue.  That guy was Anthony.  Anthony and I spent the evening talking and dancing.  I gave him my phone number at the end of the evening, and he sent me a “get home safely” text message.  We went on our first date the following weekend, and the rest is history.   

How did he propose: 
Anthony and I had been living apart for several months in 2019 while I worked in New York City and he worked in Tampa.  One Saturday in December, I made plans to spend the day pampering our two dogs.  I intended to take our dogs to Boris and Horton, a dog-friendly café, in the East Village, and then take them to PetCon (an annual pet convention).  Anthony surprised me with a visit that morning.  I was willing to change my plans to spend time with him, but he insisted that we keep them.  We then went to Boris and Horton where he had apparently looped the staff in on his secret mission to propose.  One of the café staff took the dogs away to give them “treats” from the back.  When they returned, the dogs were presented to me with engraved tags that read “will you marry me?”.  He then got down on one knee and proposed in the café. 

Interests/hobbies you enjoy doing together: 
We have a mutual passion for our pets, and enjoy spending time with them as a family.  We enjoy playing video games together (the first time Anthony told me he loved me was after we completed a co-op level of Super Mario Brothers Wii).  

We truly LOVED meeting this sweet couple and being a part of their story…their pups Seamus and Yogi stole our hearts and made the cutest “dog’s of honor” we ever did see.
Keara & Anthony’s wedding day was full of beautiful moments with elegant touches of blush, lavender and classic whites throughout the decor… in a true pandemic fashion the couple opted to do include many of their out-of-town friends and family with a virtual ceremony via ZOOM! This was a hit! Such a thoughtful idea and we could feel the love through the screen as their virtual guests participated along with us.

We wish Keara & Anthony ALL that is good! Thank you again for having us! Cheers to many many more years of celebrations!
