Melanie + Zack Step Into The Limelight | Opal Sands Resort | Clearwater Beach, FL

Melanie and Zachary's love story began in 2016, during their first year of pharmacy school at the University of South Florida. As soon as they met, they felt an immediate connection, and after class, they would spend hours lost in conversation about anything and everything. It quickly became clear to them both that they had found their soulmate in each other. 

In 2020, after graduating from pharmacy school, Zachary surprised Melanie with a proposal. They celebrated their engagement with a surprise party, surrounded by their closest friends and family.

On their big day, the weather was truly perfect! A slight breeze, overcast skies, and the sound of crashing waves just a short ways away from their ceremony site. Melanie and Zack were showered with love and joy as they tied the knot to make their marriage finally official. 

The morning of, both Melanie and Zack’s moms mentioned that their wedding day has been highly anticipated for many years as they waited to finally tie the knot after finishing school. It was such an honor to witness their union and such a gorgeous celebration. 

Congrats to the Zippi’s!

Elizabeth + Matthew Step Into The Limelight | Bellwether Beach Resort | St. Pete Beach, FL

Elizabeth and Matt met at a bar in June of 2019. Matthew was working at after she went on a terrible online date. They are very attracted to each other physically, enjoy each other’s sense of humor, share the same faith, and love each other’s personalities. Together they enjoy just hanging out talking/laughing, going out to eat and working puzzles. Matt proposed at the airport, at the gate when Elizabeth got off the plane. She was getting off the plane to come visit is family for the 4th of July.

They had their wedding in St Pete because they just moved across the country and decided to start their lives together here! They were married in a traditional catholic wedding. They selected to celebrate at The Bellwether as their reception venue - an elegant but comfortable and fun location for their friends and family to all be together to celebrate their wedding with them. This beachside and pretty setting was enjoyed by for everyone. The flowers had a beauty influence - all white roses and orchids with tropical greenery. 

Elizabeth got creative with a few DIY projects - a sign at the entrance of the reception ballroom, the table numbers and name cards.

Highlights from the ceremony includeThe flower girls walking down the aisle, Elizabeth’s dad walking her down the aisle, when Elizabeth saw Matt's face as she walked down the aisle, and the moment the priest pronounced them married. The father/daughter dance & son/mom dance and enjoying the reception with their guests was the FAVORITE parts of the day for Elizabeth and Matthew.

Overall, everyone was excited, comfortable, pampered and ready for fun all day long!

Mary Kate + Christian Step Into The Limelight | Streamsong Resort | Bowling Green, FL

Mary Kate met Christian in 2020 on a dating app. Within hours of matching, they were on their first date and have been inseparable ever since! 2020 made everyone get a little more comfortable with their loved one’s so Christian and MK spent their first six months working alongside one another. Christian asked Mary Kate to marry him on beautiful Miami beach shortly after and here we are a year later!

Mary Kate and Christian love fishing, surfing, playing tennis, golf and days on the boat. They admire how hard working the other is and love how great of a team they make. They are truly best friends. 

Mary Kate and Christian tied the knot at the stunning Streamsong resort surrounded by happiness and love. A highlight of the evening was the Bridesmaids singing the couple’s story, which is a tradition in Mary Kate’s family. We loved getting to know this couple and being a part of their big day.

Congrats!

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!

Rachel + Robert Step Into The Limelight | Opal Sands Resort | Clearwater, FL

Rachel and Robert came all the way from Cincinnati for a Florida beach wedding, and it was SO worth it! The day was perfect from beginning to end. They are truly such a sweet couple, which was evident by all the family and friends that made this trip to celebrate their love. Getting ready for the big day was just as fun as the party itself! It was filled with the most thoughtful gifts (Robby got Rachel a vinyl of their first dance song ❤️) and happy tears (Rachel’s first look with her bridesmaids and dad) The day got even sweeter when the couple had their first look and their sweet pup Charlotte joined them! They then had the most beautiful ceremony overlooking the water with Robby’s grandfather officiating. We didn’t think it could get better but then Charlotte joined her parents for their first dance!! It was really such a magical day. We are so glad we got to be a part of giving Rachel and Robby their perfect beach wedding. Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Sunderman!!
