AMANDA AND DANIEL FEATURED IN THE LIMELIGHT | THE DON CESAR | ST. PETERSBURG, FL

July 12, 2017

Amanda and Daniel had such a sweet wedding day and were a pleasure to work with. These two met back at a Luke Bryan concert and then had their first date to a Rays game in St. Petersburg. They love that they are both goofy, funny, spontaneous, and can have fun wherever they are going, always making it an adventure. Together they love FSU football games, Bucs games, volleyball, the beach, boating, and weekend road trips. After realizing their love for each other, Daniel took Amanda back to where they had their first date, at Ferg's in downtown St. Petersburg, and he proposed! :) Amanda said yes and the rest is history! Friends and family traveled in all the way from Atlanta to join these two in a romantic, glam filled wedding at the Don Cesar Hotel for a beautiful exchange of “I do’s” followed by a rocking reception in one of the hotels lovely ballrooms with tunes by the band Society Hill. A good time was had by all. It was lovely working with these two and congrats to the newlyweds!! :)

TAYLOR AND CURT FEATURED IN THE LIMELIGHT | CA'D'ZAN RINGLING MUSEUM | SARASOTA FL,

July 11, 2017

Taylor and Curt met at work five and a half years ago. They bonded over both being foodies, Taylor fell in love with Curt's easygoing and kind nature. Curt fell in love with Taylor's generosity, sense of humor and cooking! On May 28th, the couple said their I do's infront of the steps of the Ca'd'Zan at the Ringling Museum in Sarasota. Everything about their wedding shined with vintage elegance. With classic styles of gold, ivory and black the Ca'd'Zan location fit perfectly with Taylor and Curt's chic style! It rained right up to the moment of their first look, but in the end that worked out beautifully as the skies opened up and the weather cooled down for their outdoor ceremony. Everything was so beautiful and executed so well, a reflection of this beautiful couple themselves! They are such a sweet couple and we thought they had just one of most beautiful weddings!
Congratulations to Taylor and Curt! Here are a few favorites from that day!

HEATHER AND STEVE FEATURED IN THE LIMELIGHT | HYATT CLEARWATER BEACH | CLEARWATER, FL

July 11, 2017

Heather and Steve were such a wonderful couple to work with... from the time I first spoke to Heather to the wedding day, such a sweet, easy going couple with a beautiful family that is now 8. They united their 6 children by including them in a sand ceremony that allowed every one to pour their sand into one beautiful vase, this signifies the joining of the family as well as the union of the bride and groom. Heather and Steve chose to do a first look so that we would be able to get some beautiful shots of the family before going on to see everyone at the ceremony. The ceremony was on the beach where it threatened to rain, even a few rain drops fell right before the ceremony but it held out and we were able to have the perfect ceremony followed by pictures on the beach. Reception was just amazing on the sky terrace over looking the ocean, with pops of pink and other colors in the flowers, white linens, string lights above and an amazingly beautiful sunset... it made for a perfect FL evening.
Congratulations Heather and Steve. I am so honored and excited that I was able to capture your beautiful day for you!

NUHA AND LAYTH FEATURED IN THE LIMELIGHT | DOWNTOWN TAMPA HILTON | TAMPA FL,

July 11, 2017

We met up with Nuha and Layth on a beautiful Sunday afternoon to start their celebration of marriage at the downtown Hilton. The couple although they said they were anxious stayed calm and so friendly to all as they prepared for their first look. We took these two down a strip of the hotel that remained private to keep the cool air flowing on this hot day. There was so much happiness and kindness shared between these two it was contagious! They kept the beginning more intimate with their first look and a few photos with their immediate family, but they couldn't wait to get the celebration started. The reception beamed with white and crystal giving it a look of class and light! Nuha and Layth entered into their beautiful reception in song and dance. Following, was the placement of rings from the right hand to the left which signified their marriage. Friends and family celebrated into the night for Nuha and Layth with great food, a belly dancer and great laughter. You could truly see the excitement everyone had for this wonderful couple! We would like to congratulate Nuha and Layth on many more wonderful years of marriage!

MELINEA AND JACOB FEATURED IN THE LIMELIGHT | THE FLORIDA AQUARIUM | TAMPA, FL

July 11, 2017

Melinea and Jacob had a lovely wedding day at the Florida Aquarium in downtown Tampa. These two met through mutual friends when she was visiting home during her college years down in Tampa. He was stationed there at Eglin AFB. She didn't really think much of it...literally didn't think she'd ever see him again. Eventually they reconnected again via messages & he came to visit her in Tampa for her birthday. After that, and Melinea turning him down a couple of time, it became a long distance relationship since he kept getting moved by the Air Force and she moved home. Finally he was stationed in Northern California and Melinea eventually moved here after a few years. They had a roller coaster relationship with moves across the country and dealing with a deployment but it's also been a wonderful adventure together, that they now have made a forever adventure! Melinea's favorite part of the wedding day was walking down the aisle since all the wedding planning was officially over and all of the special people in their lives were there to celebrate their love as she said it's hard to get together when both sides of the family are so far apart (Melinea from Florida, Jacob from Wisconsin, and they now both live in California ). Also, the food was pretty delicious! When asked what they like most about each other, Melinea said, "I like his 'in the moment' mentality since I'm quite the planner. He reminds me to enjoy the 'now' moments. Also, I love trying new things so his sense of adventure keeps life fun and exciting." And what Jacob loves most about Melinea is, "I enjoy being able to share experiences with her, every time I see something new or exciting that I want to do, I always think 'I wish Melinea was here to do this with me.' I also like that she is constantly pushing me to be better than I currently am, even if I don't always agree with her reasoning." It was great to work with this sweet couple, and congrats to the newlyweds!! :)
