KENDRA AND TIM FEATURED IN THE LIMELIGHT |THE RITZ-CARLTON SARASOTA | SARASOTA , FL |

Kendra and Tim were married in a beautiful waterside ceremony and reception at The Ritz-Carlton in Sarasota, FL!  This amazing couple met through mutual friends and a year and a half later Tim proposed during a private dinner at their favorite vacation spot The-Ritz Carlton!  Tim had a candlelit romantic dinner planned with rose petals covering the table and the floor and since this location is very special to them it felt like the most natural place  to exchange their vows and celebrate their love!  Family is very important to the couple so I loved how Kendra's children were very involved as her son walked her down the aisle and her daughter stood up as her maid of honor.  The ceremony site was gorgeous with light colors and florals and the celebration was energetic and a lot of fun to capture!

ALISON AND MICHAEL FEATURED IN THE LIMELIGHT | SUNKEN GARDENS | THE BIRCHWOOD | ST. PETERSBURG , FL

Alison and Michael had a beautiful wedding day in downtown St. Petersburg. This was an international affair with guests traveling in from across the Atlantic.  Guests joined these two in the lush scenery of Sunken Gardens for the ceremony, and then traveled to the Birchwood to continue their celebration in one of the hotels ballrooms. In Alison's words, these two met,  “At MacDintons Tampa very late one night! He stopped me as I was leaving and I gave him my phone number. Turns out, for the longest time before we went on a first date, he had me in his phone as "Cute Russian Chick"! Who knew a British accent sounded Russian?! He will never live that down! After our first sushi date, we knew there was something between us. After the first time he came to my house and met my parents, my dog crashed into his leg with such excitement and they had an immediate bond. He misses our Henry as much as I do! Six years later...the rest is history!” Their history turned into a marriage proposal that Alison said yes :)  One day… “At sunset on the beach at Tortuga Inn on Anna Maria Island. We had been going there every year since we met for Mike's birthday, and this year seemed no different so I didn't suspect a thing! He almost backed out- I was not feeling well and then a thunderstorm approached and he decided it was a bad omen! My sister Nicola, being the level-headed person she is, told him to snap out of it (ha ha!) and I'm so glad she did :) We walked down to the beach on the way to dinner and the post thunderstorm sky was so beautiful that unsuspecting me almost didn't realize that Mike was trying to propose, while I tried to take sunset photos! Oops! How could I say no to that ring?! It was stunning. My sister took discreet photos from afar and then my parents came onto the beach holding Veuve Clicquot champagne that my heavily pregnant sister had sent for the occasion. We face timed with her and my brother in law and all celebrated on the beach together as a family. It could not have been more perfect or more of a complete surprise!” It was great working with these two and congratulations to the newlyweds! :)

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!
