Almery + Zachary Step Into The Limelight | THE DON CESAR | ST. PETERSBURG, FL

Happily ever after…

During my first call with Almery, she said that their wedding day, though it would be beautiful, joyous and family/friend-filled, wouldn’t be the biggest day of their lives—because they are there for each other every day of the year. I really love that. 

Almery and Zach are both ambitious, family-orientated people, meaning that their wedding day was not only incredible and decorated like something out of a wedding magazine, but also that they were surrounded with friends + family who traveled from abroad to witness their union (as Almery is from Argentina), lots of smiles and hugs, and loved ones bursting with celebration!

These two first met in December of 2019 on Hinge. Their first date was actually in Almery’s restaurant in Tampa and she cooked while they had their date (I told you they were ambitious!). In September of 2021 is when they got engaged in the most romantic way ever… during a hot air balloon ride over Disney!

Everything from their engagement story, to their wedding day vows and friends’ speeches shows you how kind these two are. How in love they are! We adore this beautiful pair and wish them a lifetime of success, in both love and in their business!

Congrats to the Morrison’s!

Corelli + Radford Step Into The Limelight | The Don Cesar | St. Petersburg, FL

Corelli & Radford… such a beautiful LOVE! 

This stunning couple met in 1994 through a long term family friendship. They kept in touch over the years and finally reconnected in 2019 where their friendship grew into a very special relationship. Corelli & Radford both love that they are both loving, caring, free spirited, passionate and family oriented.  Family means everything to them & you could tell on their wedding day how much they loved & cared for each family member! From shopping, going to theme parks and sporting events to listening to different genres of music and going to church, Corelli & Radford simply love doing life together! 

Our beautiful couple held their wedding at the one & only Don Cesar! They loved the Historical and tropical beachfront elegance that the Don Cesar has so it was a stunning venue for their special day. 

Their entire wedding day was based on the true meaning of forever love which is friendship, trust, genuine love & family values. Corelli & Radford also incorporated butterflies all through their wedding decor to represent new beginnings! 🦋 Everything was truly so beautiful!  

During the ceremony, Corelli sang a sweet & beautiful song to Radford which touched everyone’s hearts! Family was at the center of this day and it was so amazing to see this beautiful family come together to celebrate the love of this bride and groom.  🥰

Despite the unpredictable weather we were still blessed with a STUNNING sunset over St. Pete Beach! Corelli and Radford ✨shined✨during this sunset session as they simply enjoyed the moment and each other. They both make each other so happy and that was evident during their entire day. 

Corelli & Radford, we wish you a lifetime of LOVE! 🥂♥️

Katie + Andrew Step Into The Limelight | The Rusty Pelican | Tampa, FL

Get to know Katie & Andrew…

How/when did you meet each other:: Andrew and I met in freshman year at the University of Florida. My dorm roommate and I were having a game night at my dorm . One of her friends, Joe (the best man), brought Andrew with him. We played a game called “werewolves” that showed Andrews bright and silly personality. Immediately I was interested, but Andrew was seeing someone else at the time. We had hung out many more times at mutual friend events. one day were were the only ones in the friend group, along with Monica (bridesmaid), who were 21. So naturally we went out together, just the three of us. By this point Andrew was single and Monica could sense our chemistry, so she helped set us up. A few months later, I made the big move and kissed him at midnight during a NYE party. The rest is history!

How did he propose:: After I graduated nursing school, Andrew and I Decided to take a road trip to North Carolina between our birthdays. The plan was to go hiking along the Blue Ridge Parkway in Asheville. At the very first hike of the very first day, after walking up a mile to the top of a hill, Andrew surprised me with his proposal while posing for pictures. I had no idea, it was very sweet. We spent the rest of the trip celebrating our engagement.

What do you love about each other:: Andrew is literally my best friend. We do everything together. We share similar interests, have a lot of mutual friends and love to go on adventures. The more I got to know him, the closer we grew. He always makes me laugh, is an amazing chef, passionate and extremely smart person.

Interests/hobbies you enjoy doing together:: We enjoy playing tennis, watching movies, cooking, going out with friends, competing hard core in board games/foosball.

Two best friends got married! We LOVED being a part of Katie & Andrew’ s special day 🥰 it was a calm, serene day filled with lots of LOVE. We really enjoyed seeing these two interact with each other and their loved ones, it was such a beautiful occasion and just being able to experience so much JOY was a treat.
We wish Katie & Andrew an amazing future as Mr. & Mrs. Cheers to a wonderful couple!

Amber + Tyler Step Into The Limelight | St. Raphael’s Catholic Church + The Vinoy Renaissance St. Petersburg Resort & Golf Club | St. Petersburg, FL

Amber and Tyler had the most amazing day ever! They got married at the beautiful St. Raphael Catholic Church in St. Pete, and I don’t think we’ve ever seen such emotion! Both the bride and groom totally broke down in tears as they saw each other and met at the altar. Truly one of the sweetest moments ever. Their ceremony was followed by cocktail and reception at the Vinoy. Boy was it cold but this couple made the best of it! They got to snuggle up nice and close so we could capture these amazing photos for them. After they braved the weather it was time to party! It was so evident how much everyone loved and cared about the couple when all 3 people toasting got choked up. Their sweet words just enforced what we already knew: that Amber and Tyler were made for each other. From then on the couple didn’t leave the dance floor for the rest of the night, dancing and celebrating with their loved once! It was one of the most fun crowds we’ve seen. We are so glad you guys found each other and know you have the most incredible future ahead of you! Congratulations to the newlyweds ❤️

Devin + Michael Step Into The Limelight | Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach Resort And Spa | Clearwater Beach, FL

After 2 times postponing, this must have been 3 times the charm. It was the most perfect day!! Devin and Mike’s story began in 2014, where they met in law school. A few years later Mike proposed at a beautiful beach in Ireland. Since their original wedding was set for May 2020, they were so excited to finally get to exchange vows in front of their loved ones. They had a beautiful rooftop ceremony, followed by an even more beautiful sunset! As many people said throughout the night, Devin and Mike compliment each other perfectly, and it’s like they’ve been a part of each other’s families for years. We were so happy to be a part of such an anticipated day and it did not disappoint! The couple had a great time catching up with all their guests and finally getting to party with them. Truly an amazing night! We couldn’t be happier for Devin and Mike, and we know they have such an amazing future ahead of them 💖 Cheers to the newlyweds!
