Katie + Mike Step Into The Limelight | The Resort at Longboat Key Club | Sarasota, FL

Katie and Mike met in 2016 while they were both on vacation in New Jersey celebrating the 4th of July. While out with friends, the two met and formed an instant connection. After the holiday weekend, Katie returned home to Dallas and Mike to New York City. Over the years, love prevailed over distance and Katie and Mike decided on Austin to start the next chapter in their love story. On September 21st, 2021, Mike proposed to Katie at the botanical gardens, a favorite spot of theirs for date nights and live music.
Katie and Mike balance each other out perfectly and in a beautiful way they are both very laid back… they enjoy cooking, traveling, trying new restaurants and walking with their dog Cooper.
We can describe their wedding day as classic, pure and peaceful. It all went according to plan and they were able to enjoy each moment with ease. It was just lovely {just like Katie and Mike}.
We want to wish these two sweet souls a lifetime of happiness and many many meaningful moments together as Mr. & Mrs! Cheers!

Marissa + Walker Step Into The Limelight | The Ringling | Sarasota, FL

Marissa met Walker in 2015 at college orientation. Years later, Walker took Marissa to St. Augustine to go restaurant hopping. While taking a walk along the historic forts, he surprised Marissa by getting down on one knee.

Marissa loves how adventurous, brave, and confident Walker is. He pushes her to be her best and to never settle. She loves his smile and laugh which lights up her heart. He inspires her to step outside of my comfort zone and to truly enjoy life to the fullest. Most of all, she loves his love of God.

Walker loves Marissa's strength and persistence. He loves her beauty. He loves her faith in the Lord. He loves her humility, and compassion for all people.

Walker is a pilot so it only makes sense that they LOVE traveling. They are also foodies and love trying new hot spots. They are huge lover’s of art (Ringling, hello?), movies, board games, rollercoasters and learning new things. 

Marissa and Walker said their “I Do’s” at the elegant Ringling,  surrounded by so many loving and supportive friends and family.

Congrats!
