Courtney + Alan Step Into The Limelight | Renaissance Tampa International Plaza Hotel | Tampa, FL

Courtney & Alan’s first date was over breakfast, so it was perfectly fitting to plan a brunch wedding! The morning was gorgeous and the bagels and eggs were just what their guests needed.

Their wedding was elegant and romantic the way Courtney envisioned, the decor was oh so classic… with touches of blush, rose gold, champagne gold, light pink and white.

Our bride Courtney has a very creative eye and she is very talented, she handmade their one-of-a-kind floral arch for their ceremony { I think it turned out beautiful! }. She also made each place card which were super cute and original with the most perfect succulents.

The Bride & Groom enjoyed their morning alongside their loved ones and we truly loved being able to share these moments with them, it was definitely a morning to remember.

We wish Courtney & Alan ALL the best life can offer. Congratulations!

MEAGAN + BARRY STEP INTO THE LIMELIGHT | THE FLORIDA AQUARIUM | TAMPA, FL

Meagan and Barry were married in a beautiful ceremony and reception at the Florida Aquarium!  Meagan had always dreamed of having her wedding at the aquarium surrounded by the sparkling turquoise waters and sea life of the coral reef tank for her ceremony and a reception designed with blue lighting and dendrobium orchids, which were the perfect compliment to the color palette of the space!  The couple said their vows and exchanged rings in front of the majestic under sea tank accompanied by fish, sharks and sea turtles and celebrated in the new Mosaic ballroom with their closest friends and family!  Their daughter Sydney was so sweet as the flower girl and I am happy that we were able to capture a few loving moments between her and her parents on this special day!  I loved the romantic moments we photographed of the newlyweds together backdropped by the water and in the rock windows of the wetlands!  I loved the energy of the reception as the happy couple celebrated and the fun sparkler send off from their guests!  Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Rome!

Lindsey + Steven Step Into The Limelight | Grand Plaza Hotel St. Pete Beach Resort | St. Petersburg, FL

Lindsey and Steven had such a wonderful and simply beautiful beach wedding on this very pretty day in March. Friends and Family gathered at the Grand Plaza Beachfront Resort in St Pete to witness this stunning couple say their I Do’s right on the beach. Palm tress along with coral and blush floral decorated their ceremony and reception space and of course the view of the beach was impeccable.

The pair met back 2014 through a mutual friend at a college party.  They later reconnected a few months later and kept talking and eventually started dating. On a drive up to Tonopah Nevada, after a cute little star gazing hike, Steven proposed to Lindsey and of course she said yes!

Together the couple enjoys traveling, scuba diving, watching Blue Bloods and Hawaii Five-0 together, playing cribbage, and going for walks. This couple is very active and just love being with each other at all times.

Lindsey wore a gorgeous white dress with lace and a very long train just the way she had dreamed as a little girl. Steven wore a very formal blue suit that complimented Lindsey and paired nicely with the coral accents of the bouquets.

It was such a pleasure being able to work with Lindsey and Steven. Congratulations to the newlyweds!

Heidi + Rob Step Into The Limelight | The Ringling Museum | Sarasota, FL

I had such a wonderful time with Heidi and Rob and their lovely family on this fine day in March in Sarasota. Right from the start of our day, you could see how loving and sweet this family was and it truly reflected throughout their intimate ceremony that took place at the Ca d'zan Terrace near the water at The Ringling Museum. Heidi and Rob said their I Dos right next to the mansion and had a beautiful sand ceremony which included their kids who are the biggest blessings for the both Rob and Heidi. After they were declared husband and wife, the family went out to explore the beautiful grounds of the Ringling where we captured them together as a family for the first time and Heidi and Rob as husband and wife. I could not get enough of them and just how sweet their children were. Congratulations to the newly weds!
