DOMINIQUE AND MICHAEL FEATURED IN THE LIMELIGHT |SHERATON SAND KEY RESORT| CLEARWATER BEACH , FL

July 25, 2017

Dominique and Michael had a lovely summer wedding day at Sand Key Resort in Clearwater, FL. Friends and family traveled in to join these two in a beachside ceremony overlooking the ocean. Following the ceremony, guests made their way to one of the hotels ballrooms, where Grant Hemond and Associates got the night rocking for a fun reception. Dominque and Michael met back in 2008 through the brides brother who is also friends with the groom. These two love that they are opposites of each other and keeping each other on their toes :) Together they enjoy cooking, watching movies, and drinking wine. Being that they wanted a location that was fun, relaxing, tropical, and bright, Sheraton Sand Key was the perfect place for these two to celebrate their exchange of vows. It was wonderful to meet and work with this lovely couple, congrats to the newlyweds! :)

MADISON AND ROBERT FEATURED IN THE LIMELIGHT |GRAND PLAZA HOTEL | ST. PETERSBURG , FL

July 25, 2017

Here is a story for the ages.....Madison was working at school when a handsome young man entered in, she was curious about him and so she asked around and made sure someone gave her number to this guy. A connection was made when Robert took the chance and called her. They set up a date. When this typical two hour dinner date turned into closing down the restaurant they both knew there was something special there..and through it all they grew closer, merging their families together, finding each other in a balance and respecting/loving one another through love, kindness and selflessness. So here they were, on May 19th of 2017 amongst family and friends to say their I do's. Both had such a beautiful balance to the day. Not everything can run perfectly and although the rain clouds came their happiness and joy shined brighter than the weather. We were honored to be a part of their big day, thankful the rain didn't collapse down on them during the ceremony and just loved their interactions with their loved ones! There was so much enthusiasm and love that any hiccup seemed to be just an after thought for these two. A lesson we should all learn from. It reminds me of the expression 'keep calm and carry on' but forMadison and Robert it was 'keep calm and make it epic with whatever comes our way". Congratulations to Madison and Robert, keep strengthening each other with your optimism and realism! You two have a love that most aspire to behold! Here are a few favorites from that day!

JACKIE AND IAN FEATURED IN THE LIMELIGHT |MARCO OCEAN BEACH RESORT |MARCO ISLAND , FL

July 25, 2017

It was the year of beginnings. Starting college in Wake Forest, an endless amount of possibility laid before Jackie and Ian. They lived only a floor above the other their freshman year so it was only a matter of time before the two met. He the always busy fun one and she the studious sweet one, first became friends which led to something great gradually. After college they kept strong with a long-distance relationship, committing to one another and growing together even though far apart. Then on May 13th, 2017 Jackie said I do to Ian infront of their closest family and friends travelling from all over the country to witness such a beautiful love commit as husband and wife. This destination wedding turned out to be gorgeous with all the beauty that Marco Island Beach provides, clouds pushed forward giving a nice break from the heat for the guests. A light wind allowed Jackie’s veil to dance throughout the ceremony. Every one of their guests put away their phones to be present for the wedding. The reception was held on the balcony of the Marco Island Beach Resort overlooking the sunset as they enjoyed a candlelit dinner provided by the hotel. It was a gorgeous day for these two and capturing all their happiness was such an honor. Congratulations to Jackie and Ian, may God continue to bless you as you dance through life together!

July 25, 2017

James was on holiday in Central America when he met this beautiful woman so full of life and joy, Gabriela. The two in two countries found love over the course of six years. They traveled and experienced the world together all the while finding each other and dancing beautifully through life even with the distance between them. They made it work, combining their worlds and saying I do with both families together for the first time in Key West. This destination wedding was no ordinary one. All of their loved ones travelled from all over the world to join them in celebration, some meeting for the first time and all meshing so beautifully together with laughter and joy for this beautiful couple! The day was gorgeous and breezy. Gabriela had such a light about her, she shined so brightly on their wedding day that all around found it contagious. James was so patient and kind, the way he looked at Gabriela the first moment he saw her walk down the aisle to the very end when we said our farewells left us in awe, he had such admiration and love for her as she him. They had a boho vintage style set on the beach of the Casa Marina in Key West. This wedding embodied their personalities, with their love of travel, family balancing with their classic style. I wish these two the best in life together! Here are a few favorites of this beautiful day!

LAURA AND HECTOR FEATURED IN THE LIMELIGHT | PALMA CEIA GOLF AND COUNTRY CLUB| TAMPA , FL |

July 25, 2017

I joined Laura and Hector on one of their most precious days alongside their family and friends and I could not be any more in awe on how beautiful, and how full of energy their wedding day was.

Setting was in the city of Tampa - Epicurean Hotel was where Hector, our groom, found himself starting his day while Laura, started her day off in the most beautiful private home within Tampa. They both got ready alongside their close family and wedding party who were there to help set the positive mood for the day to come. Once ready, we all headed over to the Palma Ceia Golf and Country Club where both Laura and Hector walked down the flower filled aisle to the sound of Trombones to say their vows to one another. A balloon ceremony marked the union of the now one family and a kiss between the bride and groom marked the moment in which they officially became husband and wife. To celebrate, the amazing ballroom at the Palma Ceia was decorated in white and pink florals, gold rose linens and beautiful golden details. Chandeliers and candles lit the embellished tables where their loved ones would sit to enjoy their dinner and the time together. Dance time came around and the atmosphere was full of laughter and joy with the very catchy and soulful sound of Latin music played by quite a spectacular Band! Hora Loca came around and dancers in full, colorful costumes came out to join the family to dance the night away. What an incredible wedding it was! – and what a pleasure it was to be able to celebrate and capture Laura’s and Hector’s wedding. Congratulations to the newlyweds! Wish both of you the best of the best in life!
