Nicole + Travis Step Into The Limelight | THE RESORT AT LONGBOAT KEY CLUB | SARASOTA, FL

The Story of Nicole and Travis is such so romantic and sweet. It all started ten years ago when Nicole and Travis were in their senior year of high school.  Travis walked up to Nicole and asked her help him with an English assignment.  From that point on they started to talk more and become the best of friends then one day after a date to olive garden travis asked her to be his girlfriend and she said yes!  Fast forward 10 years later Nicole and travis were walking along the beach in Key West. That particular night the weather was perfect and love was in the air!  When Nicole looked back at travis she was surprised to see him on one knee with a ring in his hand. Of course she said yes!!!! Their wedding day was full of sunshine smiles and of course coconuts galore! The couple celebrated the union of both of their family as they laughed and danced the night away under the stars and the twinkling of the disco ball. We wish the Poley’s a marriage full of laughs and loves as they continue to make memories together.

Katherine + Lucas Step Into The Limelight | Sandbar Restaurant | Anna Maria, FL

Katie + Lucas’ story is a good one…

In the beginning of 2019, Lucas and Katie went to the graduation party of one of their mutual friends. Partway through the party, Katie spots Lucas and has to ask her friend who the tall man is (for reference for those who don’t know Lucas, he’s over 6 1/2 feet tall). Their mutual friend then introduces the two of them and Katie and Lucas spend the rest of the evening together. When they go their separate ways, Katie gives Lucas her number… or so they thought. 

Katie waited for over a week wondering why Lucas hadn’t texted her to plan a date that he had promised her at the party… that’s when Lucas reached out to their mutual friend saying that he had the wrong number, whether it was on accident or purpose. Their friend then gave Lucas the CORRECT phone number, and then the rest is history!

Lucas popped the big question to Katie in December of 2021 while they were in Vail. Leading up to their engagement, they had traveled near and far together, adopted their fur baby Boomer, and even vacationed to Longboat Key (which is where they stayed for their wedding!).

Their big day was full of friends, laughter and lots of dancing. Their reception space was gorgeous, with a checkered dance floor, wicker lanterns, and tropical flowers. As Katie said throughout the day, it was “very chill”! Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves, the music, and each other’s company.

Congrats to the Rytel’s!

Janelle + Jeff Step Into The Limelight | Lido Beach Resort | Sarasota, FL

What a beautiful, love + family-filled day!

Janelle and Jeff are from Rhode Island, and so were the majority of their guests (aside from Janelle’s sweet parents). This ultimately means that their friends and family are absolutely amazing and took the time to travel from afar to celebrate this wonderful couple! Janelle and Jeff were thrilled to be surrounded by their favorite people on one of their biggest days.

A beach ceremony, a classy reception, LOTS of dancing and laughter, and let’s not forget about the incredible sunset. Truly a perfect day. We are so happy for Janelle and Jeff and their union! We wish them so much fun as they have their honeymoon here in Florida (Wedding + honeymoon all in one! You can’t go wrong with a post-wedding celebration on the gorgeous Sarasota beaches!).

Congratulations to these sweet souls.

Katie & Daniel Step Into The Limelight | Marie Selby Botanical Gardens | Sarasota, FL

Katie met Danny in NYC six years ago and fell in love right away. Three years ago, Danny proposed to Katie on Pier 62 right near the water. Katie said “yes!” and they celebrated by seeing Sam Smith in Brooklyn.

They love how they each balance each other and how they motivate each other to be better. Katie and Danny enjoy traveling, going to museums, watching movies and attending concerts/musicals/plays. They also have recently welcomed a beautiful baby girl, Amelia, who is very well loved. 

After having to push back the wedding a year due to the pandemic, Katie and Danny were married at the beautiful Marie Selby Garden, surrounded by friends and family. It was a beautiful day and we loved being a part of it!

Molly + Austin Step Into The Limelight | St. Bernard Catholic Church + Resort at Longboat Key Club | Longboat Key, FL

Get to know the gorgeous Molly & Austin…

How did he propose: Austin took me to Dumbarton Oaks, an estate in Georgetown, on my 20th birthday to see the property and most specifically the rose gardens (for Molly Rose of course). Unfortunately when we got there the roses had an unusual season and did not bloom. Austin promised that we would be together long enough he would take me to see plenty of rose gardens. 5 years later shortly after moving to LA together we went to another estate with all different gardens. When we got to the rose gardens Austin reminded me of the story before telling me he wanted to make a new promise now: to spend the rest of our lives together! 

What do you love about each other: We love how each other can make us laugh no matter what and always supports the other in all their endeavors in life. We are each others best friend! 

Interests/hobbies you enjoy doing together: Hiking, walking, running, swimming, and going out to a nice meal... and singing much to our neighbors dismays.

These two really are amazing! They are the sweetest people… they are both soft-spoken and just so nice to be around… they just smiled all day long it was so beautiful for us to witness their love for each other.

We were surrounded by loved ones and beauty, the decor was simply stunning and delicately beautiful in every way. We LOVED being a part of such beautiful moments during Molly & Austin’s wedding day. Cheers to this sweet couple!
