Danielle + David Step Into The Limelight | THE DON CESAR | ST. PETERSBURG, FL

Sincere, classy and sweet…

Danielle and David had originally prepared to tie the knot in October, until Hurricane Ian had other plans. These two were resilient with adapting to a new wedding date and keeping their focus on the happiness they would feel to finally be married and surrounded by all of the people they love most.

Danielle and David met over 10 years ago while Danielle was working at her family’s hotel… they were friends for a good handful of years and it wasn’t until a lunch date where something clicked for them. Danielle said that she thought she was in the friend-zone, but David says that she never was.

These two compliment each other beautifully, both with a love for furry friends and a passion of fostering them. Prior to their wedding, their sweet pup Bear passed away, but they honored him at their reception memory table and even had a little pin with a picture of Bear. Bear was definitely there in spirit. Together, Danielle and David also love fitness and being outdoors—which is perfect because they live in beautiful St. Pete!

Though these two have been living and loving life together for a while now, we hope that they experience nothing but sweetness in the years to come through their marriage. We are so happy for Danielle and David! Cheers!

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 ❤️

FANNY AND JORDAN FEATURED IN THE LIMELIGHT | THE DON CESAR | ST. PETERSBURG, FL

Fanny and Jordan share a fun and relaxed love in their relationship. They enjoy doing kids’ activities with their four children. They also share a love of sports, movies and traveling for vacations. Jordan proposed 2 weeks before their court wedding on September 8th, 2016. Fanny was getting ready in the morning for her day and he surprised her.  Fanny loves the unconditional love, patience, and kindness of Jordan. Jordan loves Fanny's sense of humor, keen observations, and her quick wit.

Inspiration for their wedding location at the iconic Don CeSar hotel came from their first Thanksgiving together at their condo on St Pete Beach in 2015. They really enjoyed their visits to the Don CeSar hotel and kew it would be the perfect location to celebrate their wedding. They had a vision to have a beach wedding in tuxedos and dresses - and everything came out beautifully! Fanny was truly a beautiful bride and she was glowing and radiant the entire day. The vows they exchanged were so heartfelt and meaningful. And you could really see their love shine in their eyes during their First Dance as husband and wife. The reception was fun and relaxed as all of their guests enjoyed visiting with each other, dining and dancing!

KATIE AND GAVIN FEATURED IN THE LIMELIGHT | DON CESAR | ST. PETERSBURG, FL |

We met up with Katie and Gavin at the venue the two were married ten years prior. Not only did we meet up with them but also got to meet and photograph three handsome boys that were some of the biggest blessings to these two from this marriage. They wanted to recreate a little bit of their wedding ten years ago with splashes of pink, old invitations and combine it with their new style adding the three children in for this beautiful day. Katie made her own cake and they finished the evening with an intimate dinner followed by cake and a quiet vow renewal. We enjoyed meeting this family, many well wishes for years to come!
