Ashley + Michael Step Into The Limelight | Sacred Heart Catholic Church + Le Méridien Tampa, The Courthouse | Tampa, FL

Ashley and Michael… what a joy it was to witness their wedding day.

Ashley and Michael’s story starts when they were in grade school. Ashley was a cheerleader and Michael was on the football team… one caught the other’s eye, but they didn’t date for a while after. Michael’s brother describes Michael as being “by the book”, and it may have taken many years, but Ashley and Michael finally got to tie the knot on a beautiful Saturday morning in Tampa. 

On their wedding day, emotions were overflowing. Tears of happiness were shared by their closest friends and family (and the vendors). Their ceremony took place at the beautiful Sacred Heart, followed by cocktail hour and their reception at Le Meridien. The reception was breath-taking, from the beautifully crafted flower wall with their last name in neon lights, to the dainty treats that they had on their dessert table. It truly was a sweet day. One of our favorite moments was their cake cutting… or should we say cake smash?

Ashley and Michael are the perfect duo, balancing playfulness, seriousness and love. We are so happy that these two now get to share the rest of their lives MARRIED! It’s about time! 

Congratulations to the Hoffmans!

Maureen + Sean Step Into The Limelight | The Florida Aquarium | Tampa, FL

 "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!
