Haley + Russell Step Into The Limelight | Sirata Beach Resort | St. Petersburg, FL

Haley and Russell met in 2016 through a mutual friend and they’ve been together since April of 2016. Exactly one year later, Haley and Russell were officially engaged—there wasn’t a “grand proposal”, but rather the two of them designed her ring together. So sweet!

These two are so fun. Haley and Russell love riding Harleys and going on adventures. For their grand adventure, they came down to St. Pete Beach from upstate New York to tie the knot!

Their Sirata wedding was stunning. With their reception space designed by the bride and Melanie from Chantilly Chic Celebrations, it radiated boho elegance. Also, their reception spot overlooked the beach, so guests got to watch the sun go down on the white sandy beach.

Congratulations to Haley & Russell!  Your wedding day was beautiful and we are so glad we got to be apart of it!

Keeley + Drew Step Into The Limelight | The Don CeSar | St. Petersburg, FL

Drew and Keeley were love at first swipe - they met on Bumble and went on their first date on November 28, 2017. They met for cocktails after work at a bar called Buecherts Saloon on Capitol Hill in DC and shared a kiss under the night sky and fell in love very fast & fiercely!

Keeley joined Drew and his family last November on a trip to the Patagonia.The proposal day involved a strenuous mountain hike up Cerro Llao Llao to a beautiful lookout spot at the top. Keeley was going about it as normal, stopping at every beautiful spot along the way up while secretly Drew was freaking out.  When they got to the gorgeous 360 view of the Patagonia mountain tops, Keeley plopped down on

the edge to soak it all in – Drew asked, “are you sure you don’t want to stand up?” Keeley had no idea what was going on so she remained seated. Drew conceded and said slightly under his breath “well then I guess this is as good a place as any…” and right then and there, something incredible happened!!!

The Wedding day came along and knowing just how adventurous and fun this couple was, we knew it would be such a great day from the start! Getting ready with friends and family was definitely so much fun with funny moments, laughs and sweet moments. A first look happened for the couple and it was such a sweet and tender moment for the two (of course they also had a blast and made it funny). Once with each other, we joined the entire bridal party and we made our way to the front of the beautiful Don Cesar to take some pretty epic group shots of everything just having the time of their life together.

Ceremony happened and it was such a beautiful moment and out of no where it started raining!!! Everyone was such a good sport about it and the couple made this little surprise into such a good and unexpected plot twist - they went along with it and made the best out of this funny occurrence! What is better than a rain of blessings from above?!

And just like they had always desired, the two joined their loved ones and the most near-and-dear, at a gorgeous reception. Even though it rained, we were still all able to go outside onto one of the Don Cesar’s patios to dance the night away. It was such a fun and adventurous day with these two love birds, congrats to the newly weds!!!

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

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.
