Allie + Justin Step Into The Limelight | THE BIRCHWOOD | ST. PETERSBURG, FL

“So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.” —Matthew 19:6.

In 2021, Allie and Justin both found themselves on Hinge. They ended up connecting, meeting, and clicking right away. These two made it official at the end of 2021 and just a little over a year later, Justin proposed!

Justin decided to coordinate with his sister to take photos. Justin’s sister likes photography and so Justin and Allie went to the St. Pete Pier for a photo shoot. At one point, Allie was posed so that she was facing out at the water, and Justin got down on one knee for when she turned around. Right after that sweet surprise, Justin had another planned! Little did Allie know that Justin also had a surprise engagement party set up with their families back at his apartment.

These two had such a sweet wedding celebration at the Birchwood in St. Pete, just a couple of blocks away from where they got engaged! With family photos outdoors in the park, a ceremony set up inside, a cocktail hour of the roof (so beautiful!), and an indoor reception, everything went so smoothly.

These two had so much fun breaking in the dance floor with their friends and family, and we hope that married life is just as sweet and fun! Congratulations to this sweet pair!

Alyssa + Luke Step Into The Limelight | SUNKEN GARDENS | ST. PETERSBURG, FL

Meet the sweetest couple…
Alyssa & Luke made us smile and cry our eyes out on their wedding day 🥰 Just being able to witness the way they looked at each other, melted our hearts completely.
Alyssa & Luke met in undergrad as interns at a mental health hospital (I believe it was LOVE at first sight for Alyssa).
After dating and getting to know each other Luke proposed to Alyssa on a private felucca ride on the Nile in Cairo at sunset, perfectly romantic!
Their wedding day was pure joy and absolutely stunning in every way. From the bright and vivid flowers to the one-of-a-kind custom wedding cake filled with sugar flowers, to the thoughtful table numbers with descriptions of unique and elegant flowers… everything had a purpose.
Just the simple fact that we could feel the love between these two… made our hearts full!
We wish both Alyssa & Luke a lifetime of happiness and many more adventures together. Cheers to a beautiful couple!

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!
