Megan + Ryan Step Into The Limelight | The Rusty Pelican | Tampa, FL

from Megan’s POV:

Ryan and I fell in love in graduate school. I am a year older and we were only in SLC together as a couple for 6 months before I moved across the country to Tennessee for my first job. We did long distance for a year before he blindly moved to Tennessee without a job to see if our relationship was the one. I think of our relationship as over coming a lot of obstacles from distance to family tragedies. We always look to each other for support and companionship through everything and we truly are each others best friends.

We enjoy watching/going to sporting events together. We LOVE our dog Lucy. When we lived in Utah and Tennessee we enjoyed hiking and getting out in the mountains together. We enjoy starting tv shows together and dumb humor like "The Office.”

Megan & Ryan’s wedding day was classic and simple with lots of elegant and unique touches… I mean did you see Megan’s stunning dress? Truly one of a kind and Megan looked so beautiful in it! AND did you see Ryan’s ever-so-classically-fun tie and socks? That’s their dog Lucy’s face on those socks! lol We love that so much.

Every moment was so special and we truly enjoyed being a pat of Megan & Ryan’s special day.

ps. wanna find Megan? Look for her on the dance floor and NEVER forget to give her enough space to MOVE 💃🏼

Elizabeth + Matthew Step Into The Limelight | Bellwether Beach Resort | St. Pete Beach, FL

Elizabeth and Matt met at a bar in June of 2019. Matthew was working at after she went on a terrible online date. They are very attracted to each other physically, enjoy each other’s sense of humor, share the same faith, and love each other’s personalities. Together they enjoy just hanging out talking/laughing, going out to eat and working puzzles. Matt proposed at the airport, at the gate when Elizabeth got off the plane. She was getting off the plane to come visit is family for the 4th of July.

They had their wedding in St Pete because they just moved across the country and decided to start their lives together here! They were married in a traditional catholic wedding. They selected to celebrate at The Bellwether as their reception venue - an elegant but comfortable and fun location for their friends and family to all be together to celebrate their wedding with them. This beachside and pretty setting was enjoyed by for everyone. The flowers had a beauty influence - all white roses and orchids with tropical greenery. 

Elizabeth got creative with a few DIY projects - a sign at the entrance of the reception ballroom, the table numbers and name cards.

Highlights from the ceremony includeThe flower girls walking down the aisle, Elizabeth’s dad walking her down the aisle, when Elizabeth saw Matt's face as she walked down the aisle, and the moment the priest pronounced them married. The father/daughter dance & son/mom dance and enjoying the reception with their guests was the FAVORITE parts of the day for Elizabeth and Matthew.

Overall, everyone was excited, comfortable, pampered and ready for fun all day long!

Jenna + Samuel Step Into The Limelight | Rusty Pelican | Tampa, FL

This day was a long time coming, and boy was it worth it!! Jenna and Sam were originally supposed to have their wedding on January 1, 2021. The unfortunately had to postpone the big celebration but they still were able to have a beautiful backyard ceremony with their closest loved ones! Though they were already married for almost a year there was still so much excitement that they could finally celebrate as planned. And they had a fun addition since they got a puppy a few months following their ceremony, they were able to include her for part of their day which was the sweetest! The reception took place at the beautiful Rusty Pelican where the couple had the best time dancing the night away. There was even a surprise performance! Jenna and her mom watched Mama Mia growing up and Jenna always said she wanted her mom to perform for wedding like in the movie. So her mom did just that, enlisting her 2 best friends for help. Everyone absolutely loved it! It was a joy to see everyone finally getting to celebrate the Belcastro’s and we are so glad we were a part of it. Officially one year of marriage down, many more to go. Congrats Jenna and Sam!!
