November 28, 2017

We had a wonderful evening with this classy and stylish couple. Kara and Brandon tied the knot in November at The Vinoy Renaissance in St. Petersburg and enjoyed this special moment with their closest family and friends. The two could not contain their happiness while together, smiles and laughter were present as the two became one on this day.

After the ceremony, as once promised by Brandon, he surprised Kara with a cold beer and went by the waterside as husband and wife. The two then made their way to the reception hall which was lit from floor to ceiling in the most spectacular pink and purple lighting with warm glowing candles and natural pink flowers everywhere! Truly such a beautiful and elegant wedding they had in store, congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs.!!!

KAITLYN AND SAM FEATURED IN THE LIMELIGHT | THE CA D'ZAN AT THE JOHN AND MABLE RINGLING MUSUEM OF ART | SARASOTA, FL

November 22, 2017

Kaitlyn and Sam met in medical school during rotations! I LOVE their proposal story… after a hard day at work Sam took Kaitlyn to Tiffany’s and told her to choose whichever ring she wanted. If that isn’t sweet & romantic enough, the two of them had the whole store to themselves. I just love that! They chose the beautiful and romantic Ca d’Zan Mansion at the John and Mable Ringling Museum in Sarasota to have their wedding.

It was an absolutely gorgeous FL fall day, blue skies as far as the eye could see. Kaitlyn and Sam chose to have a first look, a sweet moment for the two of them by the amazing banyon trees. Then we ventured around the museum property and had a blast capturing the love between these two. They said their vows in front of family and friends with the beautiful mansion as their backdrop with a reception on the water to follow, where they had dinner, heard some lovely toasts from their family and friends, cut their amazing cake together and danced the night away under the stars.

Congratulations Kaitlyn and Sam!

RACHEL AND DAVID FEATURED IN THE LIMELIGHT | LAKEWOOD RANCH GOLF AND COUNTRY CLUB | SARASOTA, FL

November 22, 2017

Rachel and David met at Starbucks on Main Street in Sarasota just having a friendly talk, and then the rest is history! Rachel is drawn to David’s calm temperament, and his ability to always mediate a situation, and find a solution. David proposed at Ophelia’s On The Bay in beautiful Siesta Key on Valentines Day. This couple is very unique - they have a 30 year age gap and their families come from two completely different religious, cultural and ethnic backgrounds!

Their wedding was a platinum fairytale filled with glitz, ivory and lots of lush flowers. The Chuppah with hanging flowers, the breaking of the glass and the ceremony were Rachel’s favorite part of her wedding. Having both of their preachers and rabbis there was very special for this couple. Their guests enjoyed a relaxing evening and everyone could feel the love in the air!

November 22, 2017

We had such a beautiful experience with the sweetest couple on this fine November day. Craig and Jennifer had their wedding at Indigo Harvest Events located at D&J Blueberry Farm. This couple’s love and affection touched our hearts and their laughter and joy on this day was contagious - we could not get enough of them!! The couple said their I-Do’s under the shade of mother nature’s trees at this farm while family and friends were present. Their reception took place inside the beautiful barn house located right in the middle of a vast blue berry field, Rustic wood detailing and natural flowers filled the reception. As night fell, the lights of the barn lit up the warm cozy room where guests enjoyed drinks, and dinner. Such a great wedding full of funny and sweet moments with these two love birds. Congratulations to the newlyweds!

ALLYSON AND MAX FEATURED IN THE LIMELIGHT | THE VINOY RENAISSANCE ST. PETERSBURG RESORT AND GOLF CLUB | ST. PETERSBURG, FL

November 20, 2017

Allyson and Max are High School sweethearts. They met when Allyson was a Freshman and Max was a Junior in a Gym class they had together. Max proposed at a tower overlooking the lake at sunset and had a surprise engagement party afterwards. These two are truly best friends; they laugh a lot and are just two happy peas in a pod. They enjoy traveling, hanging out with family and friends, looking at French Bulldog puppies, watching football, movie nights and living room dance parties!

Their wedding was a vintage glam extravaganza! Their guests truly felt like they were in a glamorous magical place. Think “Beyonce meets Great Gatsby.” Inspiration for the color palette evolved from Allyson’s life-long love of purple. Deep purple is especially beautiful for fall and adding the glitter of course took the bling factor up a level! As for the location, Allyson toured The Vinoy with her sister when she got married and she fell in love. The hotel exemplifies that they both are “old souls.” Their wedding was one one big "Living room dance party" with family and friends.

The highlight of the ceremony was when Allyson walked down the "runway" and when the couple exchanged their vows.

The first dance was such a magical, incredibly intimate moment that encompassed the couple’s aura. A very special detail are the name place cards, handmade by the bride’s best friend and Bridesmaid Elie.

We are so honored to capture this wedding for such a loving and sweet couple. They were truly surrounded by a supportive group of endearing family and friends.
