Melissa + Dave Step Into The Limelight | Tampa Marriott Water Street | Tampa, FL

Meet Barbie & Ken…

…I mean Melissa & Dave 🥰

Ohh these two… they are the nicest, warmest, sweetest, most good looking people you’ll meet!
Dave proposed to Melissa on a Christmas morning and have enjoyed many beautiful moments together.
Melissa & Dave enjoy traveling, drinking wine, going to arcades and playing games… they also LOVE so beautifully.

We simply love seeing couples who just let go and SHINE together with passion and thoughtfulness for everyone around. We also love when people truly enjoy each moment, making sure to include what is most important… “family”. That is what sums up Melissa & Dave’s wedding day! It was all classic, emotional, thoughtful and so much fun!

We wish Melissa & Dave… love and many more special and unforgettable moments together.

Kayla + Shane Step Into The Limelight | Davis Islands Garden Club | Tampa, FL

Merry. Loved. Cheerful!

Kayla and Shane met in class at the University of Florida in 2014. Together they enjoy trying new restaurants/new foods, hiking with their dog and watching true crime documentaries. Shane loves Kayla’s sense of humor and her incredible ambition. She loves how he is funny, hard-working, and understanding. Shane proposed on a hike near Leigh Lake in the Grand Tetons National Park. 

They had a beautiful ceremony in a romantic garden outdoor setting, followed by fun night dancing and mingling with they closest friends and family. The pinnacle of the night was when the bride and groom made their getaway from the venue in a water taxi!

Kayla and Shane had some super cool details! Kayla made all of the bouquets out of wooden flowers so they are more sustainable and can be kept forever! The overhead string lights between the trees added to the elegant ambience of the evening. And their centerpieces will be interactive!

Christina + Luis Step Into The Limelight | Tampa Marriott Water Street | Tampa Bay, FL

From our beautiful bride and groom:

Christina had been ballroom dancing with Arthur Murray Clearwater for two years before her teachers convinced her to try Latin dancing. It was much different from the smooth dancing she was used to but finally decided to give it a try. On the other hand, Luis, who is a natural Latin dancer, had not been out salsa dancing in quite some time until the night he met Christina. They were the first two people on the dance floor and the last people off the dance floor. Christina and Luis have been dancing ever since. They have taken many dance lessons together and continue to enjoy their time dancing anywhere and everywhere. They have taken Argentine tango lessons, Foxtrot lessons, and even Swing dancing lessons. Music and dancing brought Christina and Luis together and it is something they will continue to cherish doing together for as long as they can!

The wedding day…

The day was finally here and both Christina and Luis began their day at Tampa Marriott Street. This beautiful venue would host their guest during the cocktail-ceremony and reception. As soon as both bride and groom were ready, it was time to see each other for the first time that day. They decided to see each other before the ceremony just to get the jitters out of the way - they were so happy seeing each other!

The ceremony was unique since the couple did not want it to be to routine-like and wanted it to be short and sweet and during cocktail hour. They had no chairs, and no bridal party. It would be just them, their little ones, and family gathered around. It was touching to see how happy their little one’s were once Christina and Luis were pronounced husband and wife. Reception time came around and Christina and Luis opened up the dance floor with a choreographed dance as their first dance! It was truly a happy and lively group which made the night feel just right. 

Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs!
