Alexandra + Michael Step Into The Limelight | Bella Colina | Montverde, FL

Simple. Elegant. Intimate. Welcoming.

They both enjoy doing the same things together, and bring out the best in each other. They absolutely love to travel, anywhere, together.  They enjoy being outdoors, riding bikes, playing tennis, walking with their puppy, and enjoying sunset on the beach. They also love having a lazy Sunday watching football and cooking food. Alex and Mike met up in Boston, MA at a networking event in January 2017.

Mike took Alex to Newport, RI where they used to visit a lot together, and he proposed at Castle Hill Inn. Mike’s best friend was there, capturing the whole thing unfold. They always wanted to get married in Italy, as both of their families are Italian. Bella Collina was the closest thing without actually being there!

Alex was extra excited for the walk down the aisle, as they opted for a traditntal timeline - an NO First Look. Looking out at the crowd together and realizing all of the people in their lives that came to celebrate them was a moment they will always cherish!

Lauren + Cliff Step Into The Limelight | Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach Resort And Spa | Clearwater, FL

Lauren and Cliff met when they were sophomores in High School through a mutual friend, who was trying to play match maker for the two. Lauren went to Freedom High School, and Cliff went to Beaver Falls High School, which was about a 20 minute distance from each other. Cliff was not shy about making it known that he was interested in Lauren. Lauren, on the other hand, was unavailable at the time. However, Cliff would remain persistent and he would not hide his interest when he would run into Lauren. Fast forward through college, getting “real jobs”, and entering into the real world, Lauren and Cliff’s paths crossed again. Lauren and Cliff have many mutual friends, and it would not be uncommon for them to run into each other at social gatherings. Cliff decided to take his chance, and he started messaging Lauren. When Lauren told her family about Cliff, they immediately loved him, especially Lauren’s Dad and Grandma, Marianne. She jokes with Lauren to this day that she “hand picked” Cliff for Lauren. On September 14, 2017, Lauren and Cliff had their first date at Burgatory in McCandless Crossing. The two talked and laughed for hours! They then went to the mall and Cliff helped Lauren pick out a birthday present for her mom. Burgatory still serves as a special date spot for Lauren and Cliff— It’s their go-to place to celebrate special moments in their relationship, such as celebrating each other’s personal successes, having their engagement photo shoot, and getting their townhouse.

Cliff proposed on May 29, 2021 while he and Lauren were on a trip to visit Lauren’s family in Florida. Cliff popped the question at Sarasota Bayfront Park as the two walked by the water. Cliff and Lauren’s family tricked Lauren into thinking they were waiting for dinner reservations, which actually did not exist. Lauren said YES! Lauren and Cliff celebrated with family, including Lauren’s grandmother, Marianne Luther, who was flown in from Louisiana to be able to celebrate the special moment.

Fast forward to Lauren & Cliff’s wedding day… such a gorgeous and sweet day!
Lauren looked absolutely beautiful and Cliff could not take his eyes off of her. They celebrated with family and Friends in Clearwater Beach, Florida surrounded by so much love. 

We love the classy and elegant ivory with touches of light blue and greenery for Lauren’s decor, so romantic but most importantly we LOVED being a part of such a special day for Lauren & Cliff. It was such a treat to watch them love and care for each other. We wish with Lauren & Cliff a lifetime filed with lots of bliss and amazing adventures. Cheers!

Niki + Neil Step Into The Limelight | Sheraton Sand Key Resort | Clearwater Beach, FL

Niki and Neil met online in December of 2013… and the rest is history.

Since being together, Niki and Neil have had the opportunity to travel around Florida together, despite them living Michigan. Florida fulfilled the visions that they looked for in their wedding day, so they chose the beautiful Sheraton Sand Key Resort! Not only was this a wedding celebration, but also a weekend vacation with their closest friends and family. Their friends and family mean the world to them and that was so evident throughout their entire wedding day. 

From getting ready, to their first touch, their ceremony, group photos and every moment after, Niki and Neil were showered in love from all of their people. These two had always wanted a low key destination wedding with a small group of their favorite people, and their vision came to life!

We adore Niki and Neil. These two compliment each other incredibly well and it was so much fun to capture such a sentimental and momentous day. We wish them nothing but love, laughter, and a happily ever after…together and with their sweet pup.

Ali + Garrett Step Into The Limelight | Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach Resort And Spa | Clearwater, FL

Ali swipes right on Phoebe's photo… ( to clarify…Phoebe is Garrett’s sweet dog 🐶).
Ali & Garrett’s first date was at Brewer's Tasting Room… from then on Ali & Garrett shared lots of fun memories together… they traveled to St. Augustine, they bought a Jeep! Ali attended her first Virginia Tech football game, Meeka joined their family (another sweet dog), they even endured the pandemic together, Ali & Garrett traveled to the Keys then enjoyed the Super Bowl in Tampa FL, they watched baseball games and even more football games together…

…until Ali’s BIG surprise on November 12th, 2021 where Garrett proposed to Ali at their favorite brewery Green Bench in St. Pete. So many beautiful moments already spent together and it all came together in Clearwater Florida where Ali & Garrett tied the knot in front of their loved ones.

We so LOVED being a part of Ali & Garrett’s laughter filled day! I don’t think they stopped laughing for a minute on their wedding day! They truly took in every moment with their friends and family and enjoyed themselves no matter the circumstance. Just look at them! They belong together!

Cheers to an amazing couple! We wish you ALL good things 🥰
