Kaya + Brian Step Into The Limelight | Town Manor on the Lake | Auburndale, FL

April 27, 2022

Brian and Kaya first met in 2014 at USF, where Brian was pursuing his B.S in Physics, and Kaya was completing her Ph.D in Physics. They met in the lab of Dr. George Nolas (in attendance), but were both quite busy at the time and did not end up dating until 2016 after they had both graduated. They then later moved to Tallahassee together in 2017 with Kaya working at FSU and Brian Pursuing his Masters in Mechanical Engineering.

Talk about a smart couple! Smart AND kind, these two are a beautiful pair that were clearly made for each other. They accent each other like two pieces of a puzzle. Throughout the day they were constantly making sure not only their partner, but everyone in attendance was having a good time. Everyone in attendance had a blast, and Brian and Kaya were the most stunning couple. The ceremony was bright and beautiful (albeit a tad windy), and the reception was cozy and love-filled.

I am so blessed to have been a part of their special day and would do it again in a heartbeat.

Allison + Ethan Step Into The Limelight | Harborside Chapel + The Rusty Pelican | Tampa, FL

June 20, 2019

Allison and Ethan first met at CevicheTappas Restaurant in down town St.Pete after talking online for a few weeks. More than anything Ethan loves making Allison laugh, loves how incredibly kind she is and he says she has never met someone with a bigger heart. Allison loves that Ethan is so funny and entertaining! He is so patient and calm, and incredibly supportive. They never run of things to say and do together and they love being home together. They both enjoy seeing movies and binging on their favoriteTV shows. They like to visit family and travel together to different countries. Ethan found a quite spot near a beautiful fountain in the gardens of Versailles palace to propose one evening.

Their wedding was an elegant yet relaxed celebration of their marriage with all our family and friends. Everyone had a great time and danced the night away with them. The vibe of Rusty Pelican provided a cozy atmosphere and the beautiful water surrounding the location added to the romantic ambiance. When Allison and Nick first saw Harborside Chapel they knew it was where they wanted to get married-it’s so so simple and beautiful! Like a new canvas for us to paint their marriage.

Colors are the wedding included navy blue, peony pink, blush, white, cream, eucalyptus green and a hint of fuchsia. Some of their favorite wedding details included the Chapel itself, Allison’s dress, the wedding arbor, the floral arrangements and the atmosphere. Allison created all the center-pieces for the wedding. The groom Ethan brother and father built the wedding arbor for the wedding ceremony. Their DIY floral arrangements were lush with greenery and included blush, white and peony roses and a few fuchsia roses in a background of eucalyptus and mixed deep greens, complimented by floating candles.

This special day was the beginning of their story, and shared with their closest and most loved family and friends.

What do you think will be your highlights from the ceremony and reception? I think we both are looking forward to sharing the our special day with family and friends. Relaxed. Excited. Emotional. Happy. MARRIED! Congratulations Allison + Ethan!

Maryann + Michael Step Into The Limelight | Palma Ceia Golf & Country Club | Tampa, FL

June 13, 2019

Maryann and Michael have a true “puppy love” love story…they met all the way back in kindergarten at the tender age of five years old. Michael proposed at Christmas in 2018 in front of Maryann’s family. Together they share a love of music, food, wine, hockey, going to the beach and traveling. It is a joy to see the compassion they have not only for each other, but for their friends and family; and to witness their shared sense of humor.

Their Rustic, English Garden Cocktail Party was romantic, stress-free, fun and memorable. All guests felt warmly welcomed, entertained, happy and comfortable Maryann and Michael enjoyed celebrating their future together with their families.

Staci + Juan Step Into The Limelight | Carrollwood Country Club | Tampa, FL

April 4, 2019

Staci + Juan met through Myspace in 2008, when Juan was commenting on her pictures and trying to message her. She eventually decided to message him back and that was how they realized they went to the same school. Staci was a freshmen and Juan was a sophomore. They became really close friends and Staci always knew that he really liked her, but it took her longer to get there. Eventually she ended up developing a huge crush on him. They decided to date, but it didn’t last as Staci moved and went to a different high school for her sophomore year. They lost touch until they ran into each other while attending college and that’s where their friendship picked right back up where they left it. They remained friends for a while until Juan told Staci that he loves her and he has for a very long time. Juan then told her that no one could ever treat Staci as well as he would and no one could ever love her as much as he does.

They began to date on March 12, 2013 and have been together ever since. On a very cold Christmas Day in 2016, Juan + Staci were up in the mountains spending time with Juans’ family when they decided to go outside for a hike. They stopped for a moment to enjoy the view and were discussing how beautiful the scenery was and how much fun they were having together. Juan told Staci that “nothing could ever be more beautiful to him than me”…at that moment he took a knee and asked Staci to spend the rest of her life with him.

There are so many things that Staci + Juan love about one another and that even after five years they continue to find new things to love. Staci loves how goofy they are together, and how vulnerable they can be with one another. They are never afraid to express themselves or to be open and honest with one another about anything. However, their most absolute favorite thing is watching one another be parents to their daughter Kendall. Staci loves how much Juan loves their little girl and how he is THE BEST DAD EVER!

Congratulations Staci, Juan, + Kendall!

Rachel + Anthony Step Into The Limelight | The Birchwood | St. Petersburg, FL

April 3, 2019

I don’t think we ever danced so much at a wedding before! We could not stand still. The room was so alive and filled with JOY, it was contagious!
That’s how the whole day was for these two. They beamed happiness!
Rachel & Anthony dated for 7 years before tying the knot in front of close friends and family. They enjoy cooking and traveling (always in style).
St. Paul's Catholic Church is a particularly meaningful location for Rachel as she attended elementary + middle school there and now Rachel got to marry the love of her life where so many other beautiful memories took place. Rachel loves Anthony's big heart for people and she admires his generosity and kindness. Rachel is more of a reserved gal who finds pure contentment in being genuine and loving towards others.
Rachel & Anthony’s wedding day was the epiphany of classic elegance meeting “the need to party!” Their guests enjoyed a night of dancing surrounded by glamour and long-lasting memories at the never disappointing Birchwood in downtown St. Pete.
Rachel & Anthony, we know you both will enjoy life. We wish you both ALL the dancing and “amazing culinary” life can possibly bring.
