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!

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!

KARA AND LUKE FEATURED IN THE LIMELIGHT | SOUTH SEAS ISLAND RESORT | CAPTIVA, FL

Kara and Luke were married in a beautiful ceremony and reception at the South Seas Island Resort in Captiva, FL!  This fun-loving couple planned a destination wedding and flew down from Chicago with their closest friends and family to enjoy the sand and sun of the Sanibel and Captiva area.  The bride has been vacationing there her entire life and both the bride and groom love spending their down time relaxing on the beach.  They could think of no better place to exchange vows and say “I Do!” then the island they adore.  It was a beautiful day full of sunshine and love and I was inspired by the clean and modern theme as well as the beautiful red tropical flowers that added a lovely pop of color to this light and classic wedding.  The groom chose navy blue for his attire which complimented perfectly with the back drop of the Gulf of Mexico. It was fun to incorporate the couple’s sunglasses for a few shots on the dock and we were blessed with a beautiful sunset for a champagne toast on the beach before enjoying a fun filled party with their guests! 

Kara and Luke met 5 years ago through mutual friends in Chicago and Luke proposed in front of the Eiffel Tower in Paris!  They love EVERYTHING about each other and especially each other’s loyalty, values and sense of humor.  They value their friends and family and wanted nothing more than to spend a full wedding weekend celebrating with those that were able to make the journey to witness their marriage ceremony.  It was a true pleasure to capture this special day!  Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Arneson!

FANNY AND JORDAN FEATURED IN THE LIMELIGHT | THE DON CESAR | ST. PETERSBURG, FL

Fanny and Jordan share a fun and relaxed love in their relationship. They enjoy doing kids’ activities with their four children. They also share a love of sports, movies and traveling for vacations. Jordan proposed 2 weeks before their court wedding on September 8th, 2016. Fanny was getting ready in the morning for her day and he surprised her.  Fanny loves the unconditional love, patience, and kindness of Jordan. Jordan loves Fanny's sense of humor, keen observations, and her quick wit.

Inspiration for their wedding location at the iconic Don CeSar hotel came from their first Thanksgiving together at their condo on St Pete Beach in 2015. They really enjoyed their visits to the Don CeSar hotel and kew it would be the perfect location to celebrate their wedding. They had a vision to have a beach wedding in tuxedos and dresses - and everything came out beautifully! Fanny was truly a beautiful bride and she was glowing and radiant the entire day. The vows they exchanged were so heartfelt and meaningful. And you could really see their love shine in their eyes during their First Dance as husband and wife. The reception was fun and relaxed as all of their guests enjoyed visiting with each other, dining and dancing!
