"Under the Sea" Wedding

Maureen and Sean grew up in the same development, but did not really know each other until high school. They connected again March 17th, 2018 at a St. Paddy's Day party and have been together ever since! Sean proposed at level 11 at the Grand Plaza Hotel on beautiful St. Pete Beach, overlooking the beach and a spectacular sunset over the Gulf of Mexico.

Maureen and Sean balance each other out, and have an incredibly deep connection. Together they enjoy going to shooting ranges, playing top golf, go-cart racing, and pretty much anything as long as they are together. They spend a lot of time working on house projects together and they definitely make a great team on that.

Maureen and Sean wanted something that represented their love of the beach and ocean, but would be temperature controlled as Sean works out in the heat all day. Maureen’s favorite color is rose, and it was perfect with the bridesmaid dresses - they were a bit of a 1920's style, mixing in some bling along with beach decor. They were able to have their dream "Under the Sea" Wedding in the Coral Reef tank, highlighted with an appearance by live penguins! Just being able to celebrate their love together with everyone was magical. But it was taken up a notch when Maureen’s Dad and his Irish family started Irish step dancing!

Amanda and Gatlin met in high school in a web design class but were just good friends until college.While celebrating their 5 year anniversary in North Carolina, Gatlin pulled over to the perfect spot on the side of the rode and proposed spontaneously in the snow.Three years later and they have tied the knot!

Amanda and Gatlin love making each other and after only a short time with the couple, it is not hard to see how well they compliment each other.They enjoy spending time together gaming, geeking out over Japanese culture, Anime and card games.

We LOVED being a part of this couple’s wedding!They truly embraced each moment of their wedding day and enjoyed so much laughter with their loved ones on the Yacht Starship. Fun fact, Amanda actually helped design the wedding cake. How awesome is that?!

They compliment each other beautifully and we are so glad to have witnessed Amanda and Gatlin’s love through our lens.

Congrats to Mr. and Mrs. Hood!
