Richelle + Pete Step Into The Limelight | Paradise Spring Court | Lithia, FL

A Wedding That Pointed to Something Greater | Richelle & Pete at Paradise Spring

Love has a way of bringing two people together when they least expect it. For Richelle and Pete, that journey began with a simple conversation on Facebook Dating. Just a year later, they found themselves at Paradise Spring, surrounded by the people they love most, celebrating not only their marriage but the faith that brought them together.

From the very beginning, they shared one vision: they wanted every guest to leave feeling inspired, hopeful, and closer to Jesus.

Paradise Spring was the perfect place to bring that vision to life. Warm, elegant, and inviting, it created the perfect setting for family and friends to gather for a meaningful weekend together. Every detail reflected who they are as a couple… intentional, joyful, and deeply rooted in love.

Their ceremony was filled with thoughtful touches that made it uniquely theirs. As guests arrived, they found a wedding logo printed on individual packets of Kleenex—a sweet hint that there would be plenty of happy tears. Inside, the ceremony space glowed with candlelight, scattered rose petals, and twinkling lights, creating a warm and intimate atmosphere.

Before the ceremony began, Richelle and Pete shared a quiet first touch, taking a moment to pray together before saying "I do." It was a beautiful reflection of the faith that has always been at the heart of their relationship. Moments later, Richelle, escorted by her son and Uncle John Paul, made her way down the aisle as Goodness of God filled the room.

Their handwritten vows, Pete's powerful testimony, and the overwhelming presence of faith made the ceremony one that no one in attendance will soon forget.

The reception was just as intentional as the ceremony. Each guest was welcomed to their seat with a personalized handwritten thank-you card.. a heartfelt reminder of how much their presence meant to Richelle and Pete. Instead of a traditional guest book, loved ones left their mark on a beautiful tree leaf guest book and recorded heartfelt messages in an audio guest book, creating keepsakes the couple can treasure for years to come. Every detail reflected their desire to make the day meaningful, personal, and full of love.

Richelle and Pete, thank you for trusting us to capture such a meaningful chapter of your story. Your wedding was a beautiful reminder that true love isn't just about finding the right person.. it's about building a life rooted in faith, hope, and purpose. We wish you both a lifetime of joy as you continue pointing others to Jesus through your marriage.

Love,
Rebecca

Calla + David Step Into The Limelight | Paradise Spring | Lithia, FL

Calla and Dave’s wedding day was truly one for the books!! They got engaged here in Sarasota so it was only fitting they came back to Florida for their wedding. Even though the day began worrying about the Florida rain, the weather couldn’t have been more perfect. It was a nice cool afternoon for their beautiful garden wedding.  Both the bride and groom were a little nervous but once they saw each other their faces absolutely lit up. They exchanged their vows surrounded by their closest friends and family, followed by an intimate reception.  They danced the night away, and even ended with a dip in the pool! Here’s to the new Mr. and Mrs. Humphrey: wishing you guys a lifetime full of love and laughter.

Jennifer + Mike Step Into The Limelight | Paradise Spring | Lithia, FL

In 2016 Mike stumbled across Jenn's Twitch stream because she was playing his favorite game, The Last of Us. They became fast friends and spent countless hours hanging out and gaming together online. While spending their anniversary in St. Augustine, they were taking a walk through the beautiful historic town. Everything just felt right so Jenn knelt down and asked the question!

“I love Mike's good heart, how he cares so much about others and the loving way he treats animals too. I love his sense of humor and how well it meshes with my own. I love his never-ending enthusiasm for life, always coming up with new fun things to do and never letting us fall into routine. I love how sensitive and romantic he is, he's so loving and always surprising me with small gestures. I love how supportive he is of my passions and dreams, he is very involved in my stream and always rooting for me. He has never missed one of my shows.I love his problem-solving mind, he's not one to give up on any problem, he'll always think of a solution and work to fix it. I love his voice, his laugh, his face, everything about him.” - Jenn

“Falling in love with Jenn happened in an instant. She always brings the best version of myself out of me in every situation and always makes me look inside of myself and think about things from a different perspective. There's never ever enough time in a day to spend with her and I'm constantly looking for new things to do and experience with her. She makes me laugh all the time, makes my heart race and melt all at once. She has the kindest heart I've ever known and an unrivaled sense of empathy. Just seeing her face makes me smile and I feel so lucky and special to be able to share my time and my life with her and to watch her grow into an even more wonderful person every single day.” - Mike

Together they enjoy gaming, watching movies, going on walks, playing card games, binging TV shows on Netflix, going to restaurants, going to Disney and visiting Connecticut.

Jennifer and Mike wanted somewhere quiet and filled with nature away from the normal tropical and beach-type areas and venues so commonly found in Florida. Their wedding day outfits matched the overall color palette of their wedding and fell in line with the nature-infused and floral theme.

They selected all of the designs and details about their ceremony and reception. They compromised along the way to make sure the day was special and meaningful to both of them. Just knowing that their wedding is a culmination of both of their efforts and creativity made this day special and unique to them. The wedding vows, the first kiss the food and seeing all of their friends and family there to support them and their life together and share their special moments with them was beautiful to witness. 

All of their hard work and planning came together to create a beautiful and enchanting scene with the floral decorations, the ceremony area in the secret garden and for their reception on the Villa patio. The entire day was a romantic and intimate escape to a secret garden surrounded by family and loved ones to celebrate the partnership they share. They wedding was nature-infused, rustic-filled and lush with flowers and trees….A tucked away fantasy.
