TINA AND NICK FEATURED IN THE LIMELIGHT | COUNTRYSIDE COUNTRY CLUB | CLEARWATER, FL

On a beautiful day on the beach celebrating the 4th of July these two met. This pairing was a God-send. During the ceremony it was noted that Tina had been looking for someone that was spiritual as Nick was. They were drawn to each other and Nick said this upon their first look ‘I got butterflies all over again like I did the first day we met’ WOW! That moment really set the day! It was a busy one, but between all that they managed to take in moments and enjoy this day that they were bringing a family together. Their son Theo was able to walk down the aisle towards his daddy to make way for his mother escorted by her mother. Although it was a windy day, it was also a beautiful one! We loved the coral and creams that flowed with spring time, but we loved more Tina and Nick. They were so kind with so much flare! These two were hand-picked by God for sure, you can see it by their love and respect for each other, for Theo and all of their family and friends who joined in their celebration!

We just loved these two and here are a few favorites from their big day!

MADELINE AND STEVEN FEATURED IN THE LIMELIGHT |THE DON CESAR | ST. PETERSBURG, FL

Madeline and Steven were married in a traditional Jewish wedding ceremony and an elegant black tie reception at The Don CeSar on St. Petersburg Beach!  The couple chose to hold their formal ceremony on the beach which was so beautiful and celebrated with their friends and family in the grand ballroom in the historic hotel.  Madeline was a stunning bride in her Hayley Paige gown and Steven was so excited to see her coming down the aisle with her parents.  The couple's sweet little pup also participated in the ceremony complete with is own formal wear!  Their ceremony took place under a beautiful chuppah made of vine and white flowers.  I love the traditional elements that take place during a Jewish ceremony from the signing of the ketubah to the breaking of the glass.  I think it’s so nice that the couple’s parents are such a large part of the service.  The ballroom was decorated so beautifully with white florals and crystals that matched the bride’s gown!  It was a gorgeous day that was a pleasure to capture!  Congratulations to Doctors Madeline and Steven Deutsch!

BRITTANY AND JACOB FEATURED IN THE LIMELIGHT | THE REGENT | TAMPA, FL

On such a beautiful April day, with such a beautiful couple and an abundance of love, Brittany and Jacob said 'I do' to one another.  This precious couple were a delight to be around! The ceremony was flawless with the unity of the cross and everyone dear to them celebrating with them. Family was not lost to them. As we coasted through the day, I noticed many little loves around to the point I just had to ask Brittany and she said 'we wanted for everyone to come and know it would be hard to find a sitter so we wanted to accommodate all'. I love that! It showed that Brittany and Jacob understand family and in their celebration they wanted to celebrate all forms of it, not just their wedding but everything. These two work so well together, Brittany brings an earnest and patient stronghold while Jacob is lighthearted and goes with the flow with comedy. What a beautiful blend! They are not only a glue that will hold themselves together in this life but also they bond together their family with their charisma and strength. They love all and each other. Here are a few favorites, congratulations Jacob and Brittany, may God bless you as you grow together!

LAUREN AND DREW FEATURED IN THE LIMELIGHT |HYATT REGENCY CLEARWATER BEACH RESORT AND SPA | CLEARWATER BEACH, FL

Lauren and Drew were so amazing to work with during their beautiful Clearwater beach wedding.  Sitting atop the 16th floor of the Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach Resort is this amazing spot called the Sky Terrace, with views over looking Clearwater beach and the ocean beyond, it’s an amazing place to say I Do. 

From Indiana this couple set out on an adventure to have a beautiful beach wedding… they were graced with a perfect FL day, not a cloud in the sky, a cool breeze and an amazing sunset.  Their two sweet girls were the flower girls and held parasol umbrellas that said on one “Here Comes” and on the other “Your Bride”, which I thought was so sweet and fun for the girls.  You could see how special they felt to be such an important part of the ceremony and we can’t leave out the ring bearer who walked in holding his little black briefcase that said “Ring Security”.

After taking some beautiful shots of the family all together, we did some wedding party shots and then headed down to the beach for some more fun wedding party shots and some Bride and Groom sunset shots.  After pictures on the beach, Lauren and Drew had a wonderful reception with an amazing dinner for their guests.  I loved their shell details surrounded by candle light, their beautiful cake also with shell details and of course lots of dancing.

Congratulations Lauren and Drew!
