Kacie + Toby Step Into The Limelight | Sandpearl Resort | Clearwater Beach, FL

November 6, 2018

Kacie and Toby met at a party. They were drawn to each others’ very easy-going personalities. They are very adventurous and love exploring new sites and actives. Kacie owns a dance studio and Tobin proposed at one of her dance recitals in front of 600 people!

Their wedding day was a perfect event for two people who are so in love with each other. They enjoyed the beach location celebrating with their friends and family and so much fun was had by everyone! It was so special when Kacie’s friend Maria sang during the reception and to experience the choreographed dance routines at the reception.

Bhavya + Michael Step Into The Limelight | Opal Sands Resort | Clearwater Beach, FL

October 31, 2018

Bhavya and Michael met in graduate school (2016) and started out as friends for a long time and slowly developed interest in each other. One Sunday night, while the two were hanging out in their apartment, Michael proposed and of course Bhavya said YES! They both love the beach and sunshine which is why they decided to get married at the Opal Sands on Clearwater Beach. Friends and family from different parts of the country came to join them on their special day. The ever so stunning Bhavya walked down the aisle to Michael who had the biggest smile as his bride walked towards him. Once pronounced husband and wife, we made our way to the shore to enjoy a beautiful sunset next to the ocean. The reception was held in one of the Opal Sand’s banquet rooms where the two celebrated the night away with their sweet family and friends. It was truly a pleasure being part of this wedding. Congratulations to the newlyweds!!!

Nina + Cyress Step Into The Limelight | The Orlo | Tampa, FL

October 30, 2018

The sweetest of people, contagious joy, relentless emotions, meaningful traditions and a strong core foundation. All one needs to embark on an unforgettable journey.

Nina & Cyress met at barber school in 2014 and saw themselves in love and full of love to give in Bangkok Thailand as Cyress proposed to Nina.

Cyress is from Thailand and Nina’s family is from Cuba, their entire wedding day was filled with cultural heritage and traditions, from the groom’s attire to a traditional Thailand dance to the guava treats and cafe con leche during the reception. Witnessing these two families seamlessly embrace each other’s culture was magic 💕

Nina’s vision for her wedding day was a tropical, modern,clean and warm look with wild colors and simple greenery + palms - I think they nailed it! We felt ALL of that! Every little detail was elegant yet easy.

We felt so much love, gentleness and we truly love watching how Nina + Cyress loved on each guest ensuring their gratitude, it truly was a sight to see {everyone deserves a tight hug from Nina!}

Thank you to the Madera + Kagwast for families for having us be a part of such a special day for Nina + Cyress - Thank you! We pray that ALL you do be guided in love and may all of you ever dreamt come true.

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

Brittany + Troy Step Into The Limelight | Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach Resort And Spa | Clearwater Beach, FL

October 29, 2018

Brittany + Troy first met at an Army training event at Fort Dix in New Jersey. Troy caught Brittany’s eye when she observed how caring, patient and goal oriented he was. Their conversations started by discussing their awesome Army skills and then progressed to talking about their love of family, food, and future business ventures. They also discovered that they are both graduates from a Historically Black College or University!

Brittany and Troy have both been deployed, and knowing that Troy would have to leave again soon they spent every moment together traveling. While traveling, Brittany would talk about her future goals and they eventually became his as well. It was during this treasured time that Brittany knew that she wanted him to be her husband.

During one of Troy’s previous deployments Brittany wrote him a love letter to which he claimed to “never have received.” However, on April 15th, 2017 Brittany and Troy were hosting a housewarming party…Troy used this event as a platform to propose to Brittany. It wasn’t just any type of proposal, he got down on one knee and proposed to Brittany by reading her the “lost love letter” that she sent him during his deployment. Of course she said yes! Troy say’s Brittany enhances his life in every aspect. She is constantly setting goals and it is only a matter of time before she reaches them. There is nothing that she can’t do.

Even though Troy and Brittany are not from this area, they have been visiting Florida for years. They love being able to enjoy they warm weather and tropical feel during the winter months. Since they love to travel, they knew it would be great for their family as well. Brittany and Troy styled their wedding to be the epitome of black elegance with a Nubian twist and I have to admit black, royal blue, and gold never looked SO GOOD!

Congratulations Brittany + Troy, I loved hearing you say “I’m married!” to your guests. It was such a happy and heartfelt moment!
