Krista + Michael Step Into The Limelight | Isla del Sol Yacht & Country Club | St. Petersburg, FL

June 11, 2018

Contagious JOY! From the moment I first saw Krista on her wedding day, her smile and happiness was evident. The excitement was all around and we all could not wait for these two to see each other.

Krista & Michael LOVE spending time together golfing, going to the beach, traveling, bar-hopping, doing outdoor activities, going to theme parks and playing with their dog Roscoe. Can it get any more perfect than that? They are truly made for each other and we got to share in that love on their wedding day as they enjoyed their day in the midst of rain, more rain and clouds covering the sky throughout the entire day… that did not disappoint this couple and miraculously each session was blessed with clear skies and just a few sprinkles, the first look, the ceremony, their bride an groom session in the golf course and deck, even their sparkler exit. It was all perfect! Krista & Michael brought the sunshine!

I just LOVE the way they LOVE! They met in high school as lab partners and I heard, Krista had a huge crush on him since the beginning, they are inseparable! So beautiful to see… oh and they love cookies! Cookies for the win as they celebrated with family and close friends at their fun and joyous reception.

I wish ALL the best to Krista & Michael, keep on smiling, keep on loving… keep on spreading your contagious JOY with the world.

Leah + Bryce Step Into The Limelight | Palma Ceia Golf & Country Club | Tampa, FL

June 6, 2018

Leah and Bryce had the most spectacular wedding on this cloudy and rainy day in May. Leah wore a beautiful Maggie Sottero's Hannah dress in ivory with gold & pewter accenting. Bryce wore a tux with an Ivory jacket which contrasted well with the all-black attire from the wedding party and red roses in the decor.

The couple said their I-Do’s at the church that Leah grew up in, St. Anne Catholic Church in Ruskin and the two were married by her cousin who is the priest which performed the ceremony. This ceremony was full of smiles and sweet moments which made it so special for the family.

Once Leah and Bryce were pronounced husband and wife, everyone made their way to Palma Ceia Country Club where guests would enjoy quite the amazing dinner reception. Red roses and gold candelabras filled the venue’s ballroom and red and gold up lighting gave the room great colors. In the corner of the room also stood a glamorous cake full of intricate, custom detailing. As the sun set in the sky, we grabbed the two and lead them outside where the cloudy gray sky turned into the most beautiful, warm and vibrant sunset. This was just PERFECT for this couple as throughout the day, the rain clouds were keeping us all indoors!

This whole day was remarkable and one to cherish! I truly wish you both the best of the best and a life full of fun adventures. Congratulations Leah and Bryce!!!

Erin + Matthew Step Into The Limelight | The Henderson Beach Resort | Destin , FL

June 5, 2018

Matthew and Erin’s story began in 2012, when they were set up through a mutual friend. Prior to the set up Erin had been eyeing a handsome man at the gym who was mutually exchanging her flirty glances, but they never spoke. Fast forward to the set up, their mutual friend called her out of the blue and asked if she was interested in meeting a new guy. Erin agreed, but only if she saw a picture first….little did she know it was the ‘hot guy’ from the gym!! Erin and Matthew hit it off the day they officially met, which was at a tailgate with his family and several friends.

Erin and Matthew have been together ever since…Erin admires the passion and drive that Matthew has for everything, including his career, family, and their relationship. Likewise, Matthew loves the same things about Erin. During their free time, they enjoy crossfit, hiking, football, shopping, and traveling together. Matthew surprised Erin by proposing to her during a birthday party they were throwing for their friend!

After Erin said yes and the wedding planning began, the priority for their wedding was for their family and friends to feel like they are on a fabulous vacation. Erin and Matthew chose a very modern, chic and relaxing venue: The Henderson Beach Resort in Destin, Florida. The Henderson Beach Resort had the most amazing option for them to incorporate the pristine beaches without having to be directly on the beach. They were able to have a roof top ceremony on the Sunset Vista!

Following the modern greenery trend, they elected to have their reception on the grand lawn. Not only was their wedding classy and chic, Erin and Matthew’s wedding was so much fun, the toasts were hilarious and dancing with the band was exhilarating!

Congratulations on your marriage Erin + Matthew and cheer’s to your future!

Jessica + Alex Step Into The Limelight | Museum of Fine Arts St. Petersburg, FL

June 1, 2018

Jessica and Alex got married at the Museum of Fine Arts in the beautiful city of St Petersburg. This sweet couple planned every aspect of their classy wedding day. They are both originally from Ohio but have moved to St Pete. They loved this city so much, they knew they would have to include and highlight this great location as much as possible during their wedding which they did perfectly. Their ceremony took place in the membership garden located at the heart of the Museum of Fine arts right in downtown St. Pete. Their guests traveled down to the sunshine state and gathered in this location to witness their new beginning and life as husband and wife. After their beautiful and sweet ceremony concluded, an elegant reception took place in celebration of the newly weds. Tables were decorated in black fabric, white and pink floral along with white napkins which made the room look clean and modern. At night, blue lighting lit up the walls of the room and a beautiful monogram was displayed right over their sweetheart table.

Jessica and Alex met through a dating app mid 2015. Due to busy schedules, the two were not able to meet in person until Jessica one day sent Alex a message telling him of her return to Florida where they would finally be able to meet! She LOVES how special he make her feel and truly admires all his cute and sweet gestures for her. While on vacation in Jamaica, Alex planned a candlelight dinner on the beach for her and the two enjoyed a beautiful sunset. A few mins later as the sun was setting, he popped the question and the rest was a beautiful fairytale.
