Lee + Nicholas Step Into The Limelight | Laurel Oak Country Club | Sarasota, FL

Lee and Nick met in November of 2012 through mutual friends at a party while on break from college. They started officially dating in August of 2013. In their own words: “I love that we are not just lovers but also friends. We enjoy boating together and quality time with each other but we also enjoy to have fun with our friends without each other.” Nick proposed in the mountains in North Carolina on a family vacation.

Their overall story is one of love. The cheerful wedding was filled with love, yet not traditional at all. The selected Laurel Oak Country Club as their venue because it is so fresh, sharp and clean looking and just had a brand new remodel. They chose a golf course because that is Nicholas' second love.

Special touches included personalized name plates, and a DIY seating chart. The highlight of the ceremony was the reaction of Nicholas when Lee walked down the aisle. The highlight from the reception was the high energy level of the party.

Lee + Nicholas Step Into The Limelight | Twin Dolphin Marina | Pier 22 | Bradenton Riverwalk

Lee + Nick met by coincidence at a party and hit it off. At the beginning of their courtship they had a long distance relationship and then finally decided that they wanted to live together. From there, the relationship blossomed and one day while they were up in the mountains of North Carolina surrounded by their family, Nick proposed to Lee.

One of their favorite things to do together is to spend quality time out on their boat. This was the inspiration for their engagement session. 

In February of 2020, Lee + Nick are set to be married at Laurel Oak Country Club. I am so excited to watch this wonderful couple say I do!

Congratulations on your engagement Lee + Nick!
