MYKAL AND TAYLOR FEATURED IN THE LIMELIGHT | THE DON CESAR | ST. PETERSBURG, FL

Mykal and Taylor were married in an elegant evening wedding at the Don CeSar Resort on St. Pete Beach, FL!  There is just something about this time of the year and weddings!  I don't know if it is just the warmth and cheer of the holidays or the beauty of the lights and decor but I just love weddings during the holiday season!  Mykal and Taylor love this feeling as well and chose to have their wedding ceremony at the beautiful Don CeSar the weekend before Christmas!  The bride envisioned a romantic candlelit evening ceremony in the courtyard and a sophisticated black tie reception in the grand ballroom.  Everything was so beautiful!  I loved Mykal's stunning ball gown and Taylor's choice of black bow tie.  I also loved how the ballroom was decorated with candles, crystals, white tree centerpieces and drapery.  It had a winter wonderland magical feeling!  I loved how romantic and glamorous everything felt!  I also loved working with this sweet bride and groom! The couple met 10 years ago in college at Florida State and have been together ever since even while living long distance while attending graduate school!  Taylor proposed while out on a run with their dogs and even hired a photographer to capture that memory for them which I loved to hear!  The newlyweds shared in an amazing wedding day with their family and friends!  Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Taylor!

Kristi and Rob met through a mutual friend. The two having such laid-back personalities and being such animal lovers, found love over the course of three years. They set a date for June 26, 2016 in Clearwater. A destination spot for all their family and friends coming from areas of Canada and Pittsburg to celebrate such a beautiful memorable day for the two. Even with the hot weather and passing storms, both Kristi and Rob were in high spirits. Kristi’s uncle officiated their beautiful ceremony at Chapel by the Sea and the family and friends heated up the dance floors to one of Florida’s finest bands, C’nergy at Carlouel Yacht Club. They ended the day with a beautiful pastel hue sunset. We loved this wedding so very much, congratulations Rob and Kristi. God bless you as you grow together!

LUCY AND ARNOUX FEATURED IN THE LIMELIGHT | MARCO OCEAN BEACH RESORT | MARCO BEACH , FL

Lucy and Arnoux were married at the beautiful Marco Ocean Beach Resort on a beautiful Sunday morning in front of their loved ones. Both from the city, they wanted to step away from it for a relaxing beach wedding. They enjoy spending time together, watching movies, having deep conversations over dinners and of course traveling together.

“Arnoux is the most romantic man I met. Never stops impressing me with his tender gestures” Says Lucy. “He has a beautiful soul, one that is rare to find. It was easy to fall in love with his smile, his intelligence and overwhelming logic.”

“Lucia is amazing beautiful with a smile that can disarm the meanest soul on earth. Her persistence is unique, her intelligence mixed curiosity is as rare as the largest pearl deep in the sea. It was such uniqueness that would send me deep in the sea to look for. I was fortunate to have so close.” – Arnoux

During their beautiful ceremony, you could truly see how much they cared for each other and just how comfortable and safe they felt within each other’s arms. It was such a great pleasure to be there to witness true love. Congratulations to the newlyweds!

NATALIE AND VINNY FEATURED IN THE LIMELIGHT | THE RITZ-CARLTON, SARASOTA |SARASOTA , FL

Natalie and Vinny got married at The Ritz-Carlton, Sarasota. Rain rolled in right before their much-anticipated ceremony but this did not get in the way of their amazing wedding day.

Natalie and Vinny met back in 2010 at work at the Gaylord Palms Hotel in Orlando Florida. They became friends and enjoyed each other’s company and one day, while back in the same exact place the met, Natalie said Yes to join Vinny’s hand into marriage. They are both lovers of food, dancing, music, and spending time with their dearest family and friends - they complement each other in every aspect! Their fun and adventurous love life translated beautifully into their wedding day alongside family that traveled from different locations to witness this wonderful couple’s dream of becoming one.

In the uniqueness of their chemistry, their caring hearts made a very sweet choice to do two ceremonies that both cultures from each side of the now one family, could enjoy. This was a first experience and a very beautiful one. 

Congrats to the newlyweds! Natalie and Vinny, I wish you both the best on your new and exciting journey!

CHRISTINA AND ANDREW FEATURED IN THE LIMELIGHT |WYNDHAM GRAND CLEARWATER BEACH|CLEARWATER BEACH , FL

Christina & Andrew decided to have their wedding near the water, which is near and dear to their hearts. Andrew grew up on the water and his parents took him out sometimes up to a year in their boat. Their goal in life is to live and raise their children by the water so having their dream wedding at the beautiful Wyndham Grand Clearwater was the perfect location to start their lives together as husband and wife.

This wedding was breathtaking and the sunset was one of the most beautiful we’ve seen and to make it all even more dreamy and magical, the sunset was lavender which matched their wedding colors. It was a true masterpiece.

The bride and groom made sure to include the most important people in their wedding and they made sure to honor them throughout the day. One of the sweetest things we’ve witnessed was the bride and groom handing out “thank you” notes held together by a white rose to their parents and grandparents present as well as their dear friends and matchmakers Margaret & Andrew along with a sincere speech of appreciation.

We are so honored to have been a part of such a memorable and special day for Christina, Andrew their family and close friends.
