CHAYA AND MICHAEL FEATURED IN THE LIMELIGHT | DON CESAR | ST. PETERSBURG, FL

Chaya and Michael met back in high school in 2004! These two have been together for 9 and a half years. Chaya loves Michael's drive and motivation and Michael loves Chaya's "weirdness" and together they enjoy great food and the beach, which is why they chose to get married at the Don Cesar on St. Petersburg Beach. These two had a delightful ceremony in the hotel's lush gardens, and then guests made their way to one of the hotels lovely ballrooms, laced with "old world elegance" just as Chaya dreamed. It was also important to Chaya to have her grandfather, Paw, who has passed away, to be apart of their special day as they were best friends, so they had their wedding day on his birthday, and Chaya wore his wedding band. These two had a beautiful wedding day and it was great to work with them. Congrats to the newlyweds! :)

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!

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!
