HONG AND KYLE STEP INTO THE LIMELIGHT | DOWNTOWN TAMPA RIVERWALK| TAMPA , FL

July 25, 2017

I had the great opportunity to meet up with newly engaged couple, Hong and Kyle, on this Sunday evening at Tampa Riverwalk right before sunset. The overcast skies made such a beautiful light that gave the Tampa skyline in the background just the right, modern mood for this stylish and happy couple. Hong and Kyle will tie the knot this coming November. How exciting! Congratulations on your engagement!

July 25, 2017

Occasionally, we get a wedding that has such a classic and rich feel to it, you just want to dive right into it. This was one of them! With soft color schemes of pink, ivory and sage contrasting with the striking elegance and romance the Kapok provided wrapped so beautifully together. Now place one of the sweetest or the liveliest couples and you get one unforgettable night! Renee’s brother officiated the ceremony with guests surrounding them in a circular layout. There wasn’t a bad view in the house! The two brought in every emotion as they said their commitments to one another, and their guests were all drawn in by this charismatic couple! Even with it’s richness and grandeur, the wedding had the perfect mesh of party, joy and laughter! Everyone danced the night away after dinner and toasts including Renee and Ryan. It was a beautiful evening, a special day for these two starting their lives together as husband and wife but also for all loved ones involved in their day cheering and supporting them through it all!

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!
