Brittney + Christopher Step Into The Limelight | The Italian Club of Tampa | Tampa, FL

June 19, 2018

This romantic couple said their I Do's at the Tampa Historic Italian Club and it was the perfect setting to complete their Old Hollywood theme throughout the day. From the red roses,to the cigars, black formal attire for the entire bridal party, to the touches of white feathers on the centerpieces and the vintage Bentley. It was came together with glamour and elegance.
Brittney & Christopher met 7 years ago through mutual friends, and started dating in 2015t after a Disney trip { where dreams come true }.
Christopher proposed at their home during a candlelit dinner he prepared himself { told ya dreams come true! }
These two are absolutely LOVED by many, and their love extends immensely. Each moment of the day was filled with emotion and family knit moments. It was beautiful to hear Brittney's dad Brian during his speech say that "it takes a village to raise children and it is nice to see this village here tonight".
The night ended with a lot of great music and dancing, these two LOVE to dance and have a great time together. DeLeon Entertainment made sure to keep the music going with a 20's style full band and the guests did not want to leave! They know how to have a good time!
We wish ALL the best and many more trips to Disney for these two!

Monique + Reese Step Into The Limelight | Grand Plaza Hotel St. Pete Beach Resort | Saint Petersburg, FL

June 19, 2018

Monique and Reese got married on this fine day in June at the the Grand Plaza Resort in the beautiful beach of St. Petersburg. The couple, along with friends and family all came down from northern states to celebrate love at its finest! I met Monique and Reese earlier in the year to shoot their wonderful engagement session and instantly loved their glamorous and fun relationship. The two started their relationship in high school and have had quite the adventure-filled life together. They truly admire each other and love to see each other happy.

The beach has always been one of the couple’s favorite places which is why they chose the beach scenery to say their I Dos. After they were pronounced husband and wife, everyone made their way to a glamorous and romantic reception dinner decorated in folder seating, black napkins, and DIY centerpiece which the couple made for this special day. It was truly an honor to be part of such an amazing time. Congratulations to the newly weds!

Krista + Michael Step Into The Limelight | Isla del Sol Yacht & Country Club | St. Petersburg, FL

June 11, 2018

Contagious JOY! From the moment I first saw Krista on her wedding day, her smile and happiness was evident. The excitement was all around and we all could not wait for these two to see each other.

Krista & Michael LOVE spending time together golfing, going to the beach, traveling, bar-hopping, doing outdoor activities, going to theme parks and playing with their dog Roscoe. Can it get any more perfect than that? They are truly made for each other and we got to share in that love on their wedding day as they enjoyed their day in the midst of rain, more rain and clouds covering the sky throughout the entire day… that did not disappoint this couple and miraculously each session was blessed with clear skies and just a few sprinkles, the first look, the ceremony, their bride an groom session in the golf course and deck, even their sparkler exit. It was all perfect! Krista & Michael brought the sunshine!

I just LOVE the way they LOVE! They met in high school as lab partners and I heard, Krista had a huge crush on him since the beginning, they are inseparable! So beautiful to see… oh and they love cookies! Cookies for the win as they celebrated with family and close friends at their fun and joyous reception.

I wish ALL the best to Krista & Michael, keep on smiling, keep on loving… keep on spreading your contagious JOY with the world.

Leah + Bryce Step Into The Limelight | Palma Ceia Golf & Country Club | Tampa, FL

June 6, 2018

Leah and Bryce had the most spectacular wedding on this cloudy and rainy day in May. Leah wore a beautiful Maggie Sottero's Hannah dress in ivory with gold & pewter accenting. Bryce wore a tux with an Ivory jacket which contrasted well with the all-black attire from the wedding party and red roses in the decor.

The couple said their I-Do’s at the church that Leah grew up in, St. Anne Catholic Church in Ruskin and the two were married by her cousin who is the priest which performed the ceremony. This ceremony was full of smiles and sweet moments which made it so special for the family.

Once Leah and Bryce were pronounced husband and wife, everyone made their way to Palma Ceia Country Club where guests would enjoy quite the amazing dinner reception. Red roses and gold candelabras filled the venue’s ballroom and red and gold up lighting gave the room great colors. In the corner of the room also stood a glamorous cake full of intricate, custom detailing. As the sun set in the sky, we grabbed the two and lead them outside where the cloudy gray sky turned into the most beautiful, warm and vibrant sunset. This was just PERFECT for this couple as throughout the day, the rain clouds were keeping us all indoors!

This whole day was remarkable and one to cherish! I truly wish you both the best of the best and a life full of fun adventures. Congratulations Leah and Bryce!!!
