Association of Bridal Consultants | Step Int The Limelight | Fat Beet Farm | Tampa, FL

In the heart of Tampa, Florida, the Association of Bridal Consultants (ABC) hosted a memorable networking event at Fat Beet Farm, an enchanting venue. Limelight Photography was on hand to capture the joy, love, and lasting connections formed on this special day.

Fat Beet Farm isn't just a backdrop; it's a community resource. It educates the public about sustainable farming in Florida and serves as a model for future generations. Not only does it provide wholesome, delicious food, but it also offers an unforgettable space for private events.

As the event concluded, attendees had the opportunity to take a tour of the picturesque Fat Beet Farm. It was a chance to explore the sustainable farming practices and natural beauty of the venue, leaving a lasting impression.

The ABC's daytime networking event at Fat Beet Farm was a resounding success. It showcased the power of connections and collaboration in the wedding and event planning industry.

We loved being at Fat Beet Farm, a venue that's not only stunning but also environmentally conscious and community-focused. The memorable tour added an extra layer of appreciation for the venue's commitment to sustainability.

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 ❤️

Haley + Russell Step Into The Limelight | Sirata Beach Resort | St. Petersburg, FL

Haley and Russell met in 2016 through a mutual friend and they’ve been together since April of 2016. Exactly one year later, Haley and Russell were officially engaged—there wasn’t a “grand proposal”, but rather the two of them designed her ring together. So sweet!

These two are so fun. Haley and Russell love riding Harleys and going on adventures. For their grand adventure, they came down to St. Pete Beach from upstate New York to tie the knot!

Their Sirata wedding was stunning. With their reception space designed by the bride and Melanie from Chantilly Chic Celebrations, it radiated boho elegance. Also, their reception spot overlooked the beach, so guests got to watch the sun go down on the white sandy beach.

Congratulations to Haley & Russell!  Your wedding day was beautiful and we are so glad we got to be apart of it!

Jessica + Jakob Step Into The Limelight | The Birchwood | St. Petersburg, FL

Talk about a love story! These two met 12 years ago in High School PE class and began their relationship as friends. Eventually that progressed and now they are married twelve years to the day that they started dating! Jessica and Jakob are the ying to each other’s yang. They complete each other and that becomes very evident as you get to know them. They balance each other perfectly, have a lot in common, and are truly themselves around one another. They enjoy traveling, camping, and adventure. I see a lot of adventure and fun in their future. I had a blast being a part of their big day and helping their vision come true in their photos. I wish you the best, Jessica and Jakob!
