Richelle + Pete Step Into The Limelight | Paradise Spring Court | Lithia, FL

A Wedding That Pointed to Something Greater | Richelle & Pete at Paradise Spring

Love has a way of bringing two people together when they least expect it. For Richelle and Pete, that journey began with a simple conversation on Facebook Dating. Just a year later, they found themselves at Paradise Spring, surrounded by the people they love most, celebrating not only their marriage but the faith that brought them together.

From the very beginning, they shared one vision: they wanted every guest to leave feeling inspired, hopeful, and closer to Jesus.

Paradise Spring was the perfect place to bring that vision to life. Warm, elegant, and inviting, it created the perfect setting for family and friends to gather for a meaningful weekend together. Every detail reflected who they are as a couple… intentional, joyful, and deeply rooted in love.

Their ceremony was filled with thoughtful touches that made it uniquely theirs. As guests arrived, they found a wedding logo printed on individual packets of Kleenex—a sweet hint that there would be plenty of happy tears. Inside, the ceremony space glowed with candlelight, scattered rose petals, and twinkling lights, creating a warm and intimate atmosphere.

Before the ceremony began, Richelle and Pete shared a quiet first touch, taking a moment to pray together before saying "I do." It was a beautiful reflection of the faith that has always been at the heart of their relationship. Moments later, Richelle, escorted by her son and Uncle John Paul, made her way down the aisle as Goodness of God filled the room.

Their handwritten vows, Pete's powerful testimony, and the overwhelming presence of faith made the ceremony one that no one in attendance will soon forget.

The reception was just as intentional as the ceremony. Each guest was welcomed to their seat with a personalized handwritten thank-you card.. a heartfelt reminder of how much their presence meant to Richelle and Pete. Instead of a traditional guest book, loved ones left their mark on a beautiful tree leaf guest book and recorded heartfelt messages in an audio guest book, creating keepsakes the couple can treasure for years to come. Every detail reflected their desire to make the day meaningful, personal, and full of love.

Richelle and Pete, thank you for trusting us to capture such a meaningful chapter of your story. Your wedding was a beautiful reminder that true love isn't just about finding the right person.. it's about building a life rooted in faith, hope, and purpose. We wish you both a lifetime of joy as you continue pointing others to Jesus through your marriage.

Love,
Rebecca

Calla + David Step Into The Limelight | Paradise Spring | Lithia, FL

Calla and Dave’s wedding day was truly one for the books!! They got engaged here in Sarasota so it was only fitting they came back to Florida for their wedding. Even though the day began worrying about the Florida rain, the weather couldn’t have been more perfect. It was a nice cool afternoon for their beautiful garden wedding.  Both the bride and groom were a little nervous but once they saw each other their faces absolutely lit up. They exchanged their vows surrounded by their closest friends and family, followed by an intimate reception.  They danced the night away, and even ended with a dip in the pool! Here’s to the new Mr. and Mrs. Humphrey: wishing you guys a lifetime full of love and laughter.
