Haley and Russell met in 2016 through a mutual friend and they’ve been together since April of 2016. Exactly one year later, Haley and Russell were officially engaged—there wasn’t a “grand proposal”, but rather the two of them designed her ring together. So sweet!

These two are so fun. Haley and Russell love riding Harleys and going on adventures. For their grand adventure, they came down to St. Pete Beach from upstate New York to tie the knot!

Their Sirata wedding was stunning. With their reception space designed by the bride and Melanie from Chantilly Chic Celebrations, it radiated boho elegance. Also, their reception spot overlooked the beach, so guests got to watch the sun go down on the white sandy beach.

Congratulations to Haley & Russell! Your wedding day was beautiful and we are so glad we got to be apart of it!

Taylor + Jim Step Into The Limelight | Sirata Beach Resort | St. Petersburg, FL

Taylor & Jim have known each other since high school socially, became close as they finished college and fell in love! They took their first cruise to the Caribbean and Jim proposed on the highest point on the ship at sunset. They love trying new restaurants, going to the movies, staying home and ordering in takeout and watching tv. Taylor & Jim enjoy going for nightly dog walks. They love to travel to new places, and try to go somewhere new every 6 months or so.

Their wedding day at Sirata Beach Resort was filled with lots of love and laughter… their family + friends game is strong! It was an intimate yet fun wedding to say the least… it was simple, elegant and it incorporated lots of greenery for a modern feel. The rain tried to take over but these two made sure to enjoy each moment… and Florida decided to grace us with a gorgeous fiery red sunset… it was simply perfect in every way. Lots and lots of beautiful memories were made and fun was had… we LOVED being a part of such a joyous day for Taylor & Jim. Congratulations to the gorgeous couple!

Danielle + Derek met each other at a country bar in downtown St. Petersburg.When they locked eyes they felt butterflies and still do every time they see each other.While getting to know one another they realized that they had a lot in common. Danielle and Derek love to go boating, working out, and relaxing by the pool. They love how they are both very loyal and they make each other laugh.

Danielle and Derek’s romantic Vinoy wedding was everything they could have ever dreamed of and contained the most red roses in one location that I have ever seen.

Congratulations on finding your forever!

“St. Pete elegance meets party of the year!”

Joe and Rachel were set up on a blind date! Joe's Aunt Joanna and Rachel’s mom's friend Teresa work together as nurses at All Children's Hospital. They thought that they would be a good match, and they were so right! Together they enjoy boating, scuba diving, bike riding and playing with their pups. Joe proposed during a boat ride at their favorite spot, Sombrero Reef, in the Florida Keys. It is the most beautiful place and will forever mean so much to them! Joe and Rachel both have a sarcastic sense of humor and love making each other laugh.

Rachel and Joe planned a wedding that showcased to everyone their love for St. Pete. They both grew up his St. Pete and were proud to to bring out the beauty of the area at their wedding! Rachel dreamed of getting married at The Vinoy since she was in high school! It was their perfect, picturesque backdrop for their Old St. Pete style, elegant wedding featuring Florida palms. They love palm leaves incorporated them in the most elegant way! They also had a custom map of St. Pete created for their invitations as well as their menu cards. And obviously they loved their custom open bar! Another unique touch, were the custom-made tumblers guests took home, made personally by Joe! All take home goodies had a running theme, "Stolen from Rachel and Joe's Wedding”.

Overall there was an amazing party atmosphere with a wonderful and interactive band. When Joe began breaking out his amazing dance moves the party really got started!

Their love for this city and each other was clearing SHINE-ing!!! They are true Floridians through and through!
