Morgan + Mike Step Into The Limelight | The Ritz-Carlton | Sarasota, FL

October 22, 2018

Morgan and Brian met in 2011 through a mutual friend, Patrick Guerrette (Groomsman), at a gathering on the weekend. Mike reached out for a first date and were inseparable ever since. Mike scheduled a weekend getaway at The Cliff House in Cape Neddick, Maine and proposed on the cliffs overlooking the ocean. Mike got down on one knee and professed his love. It was a very memorable evening/weekend.

Morgan loves Mike's introverted, even-keeled personality. Morgan said “Mike is very dedicated to those he loves, he's determined, he's charismatic, he's successful, he's resilient, he's soft and loving, he's incredibly handsome, he's spontaneous.” Mike likes Morgan's extroverted personality. Mike stated “We offset one another. Morgan is type-A, always on the go, energetic, caring, loyal, loving, intelligent, funny.”

Together, Morgan and Mike enjoy traveling, going to the beach, finding new restaurants, shopping, exercising, spending time with family and friends, hosting events at their house, watching movies, and cooking.

The lovely couple are from Portland, Maine, but each have family members who live in Sarasota, Florida. Their first vacation together was a trip to Sarasota and Sarasota became a very special place for them and each of their families. After visiting the Ritz Carlton Hotel for brunch, Morgan knew she always wanted to get married there. After Mike saw the Ritz Carlton Hotel for the first time during venue tours, he fell in love with the traditional luxury vibe.

Their beautiful ceremony and reception all took place at The Ritz Carlton Hotel - just like they had wanted. it Morgan looked amazing in her laced gown. Mike wore a classic black suit with a black bow to add a bit of contrast to his beautiful bride’s wedding dress. The two enjoyed being present with their adored friends and family to celebrate the love that united Mike and Morgan. Congratulations to the newly weds!!!

Michele + Jim Step Into The Limelight | Sandpearl Resort | Clearwater Beach, FL

October 18, 2018

Such a fun couple! We LOVED spending time with Michele & Jim on their wedding day.

They know how to love! We all felt it… their guests were all “let in” Michele & Jim made sure to spoke to each guest and hugged their necks. It was a sixth to see!

Michele & Jim, enjoy racing, hockey, their harley rides and travel time… but most of all, they enjoy each other’s company. Each look, each smile, each gesture was so genuine and filled with deeply rooted love.

They planned for a beach ceremony but what they got was an unexpected last minute change a plans, but did that effect anything? Not at all! They smiled their way through and recited their vows inside as the rain poured outside. This did not seem to phase them… they just went along and their love shined through beautifully.

The skies eventually did clear way and we were able to grab some sunset pictures for Michele & Jim by the water.

They all danced the night away and had a blast making new memories together.

We are so happy to have been a part of such an incredible day with Michele & Jim, ALL the best to you!

Ashley + Tim Step Into The Limelight | Opal Sands Resort | Clearwater, FL

October 17, 2018

Ashley and Tim met in February of 2015. Tim came into Ashley’s work to have Ricki, one of her coworkers, sign a contract for a home she was looking to purchase. Ricki was persistent in having the two meet and get to know each other. Tim called Ashley one evening and that's basically where it all started. Thank God for Ricki, she has since passed away. We will always hold a special place in our hearts for Ricki!

It was Christmas evening and the two were sitting on their couch in their apartment. Ashley was joking around and said "I really thought we were going to get engaged for Christmas" Tim then pulled out the ring, slid it on her finger and said let's do it! Ashley thought he was kidding, but then she got so excited she threw up haha! (But she forgot to mention she was really sick with a virus/cold.)

This sweet couple loves their fur babies, binge watching tv shows, going out to eat, traveling and shopping. Tim smiles with his eyes when he sees Ashley, and he goes above and beyond taking care of her. He is ambitious and gets things taken care, which Ashley appreciates so she don't have to stress. Tim love’s Ashley's big blue eyes! Ashley has such a big heart - she is very caring and compassionate. The connection and laughter between Ashley and Tim is beautiful to witness. What a joy they are each getting to marry their best friend!

Ashley and Tim definitely wanted to have a view of the water for their magical day, and Opal Sands was so gorgeous they knew instantly they wanted to get married there. They selected formal outfits that were also somewhat beachy. Their wedding was beachy, classy, elegant, romantic and fun. It was a day of sharing their love for each other and celebrating with family and close friends all having the time of their lives!

It was very special for Ashley and Tim’s family and friends travelled in to come to their wedding. Sharing the day with so many family and friends they have not seen in a long time and celebrating afterwards was so much fun and so many new memories created for them!

Megan + Ed Step Into The Limelight | Seagate Hotel & Spa + Seagate Country Club | Delray Beach, FL

October 15, 2018

Megan & Ed met each other at the University of Florida at a dental school and nursing school social. They enjoyed a couple of drinks and danced the night away, only to meet each other the next day for breakfast {the rest, they say is history!}

Instantly we began to see the love these two share for each other. Megan is the sweetest thing ever! She is so genuine, delicate, caring and just a joy to be around. Ed is a true gentleman and cares for others in every way. Their wedding reflected ALL of those attributes as we witnessed Megan & Ed interact with each other, family and friends. It was such a delight to be a part of their day!

When I asked why they selected The Seagate Hotel & Spa and The Seagate Country Club, their answer was so selfless… they wanted a location everyone could enjoy, not only during the wedding day but also the entire weekend with different activities and great restaurants around. They made sure their guests felt welcome, comfortable and a part of the family.

With that in mind, their entire day was impeccable! Beautifully planned and executed by Your Special Day by Joni and her team and we ALL felt at ease and were able to truly enjoy each moment. I love when I can look back and say, “they truly enjoyed their wedding day” We all felt it, we were all living such great moments together. From the getting ready to the glow sticks send off… it was all elegant, meaningful and fun!

Megan & Ed, thank you so much for having us and allowing us to be a part of such a memorable day! We wish you both ALL the best life can bring,

Hanni + Brian Step Into The Limelight | Zota Beach Resort | Longboat Key, FL

October 15, 2018

Hanni and Brian were introduced by a friend/co-worker. They immediately hit it off and began dating. At the time, Brian lived in Virginia Beach so he would drive up every other weekend for a whole year until he moved up to Northern Virginia. In mid May, Brian put a ring on a crawfish claw on a plate of crawfish and proposed to the love of his life, Hanni. They absolutely love spending time together and enjoy each other’s friendship. Together, they fly fish, enjoy bike rides, walk their two labs and enjoy traveling.

This wonderful couple got married at the Zota Beach Resort in Long Boat Key FL. Their beautiful ceremony was held on the beach. Hanni looked spectacular in her white wedding gown as her father walked her down to meet Brian who was so excitedly waiting for her. This was definitely a moment to remember since her father had recently had a couple complications but he made it down the aisle to give her away.

After this heartwarming ceremony, the new weds joined their friends and family to celebrate their love for each other inside one of the resorts banquet halls.
