Brittany + Troy Step Into The Limelight | Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach Resort And Spa | Clearwater Beach, FL

Brittany + Troy first met at an Army training event at Fort Dix in New Jersey. Troy caught Brittany’s eye when she observed how caring, patient and goal oriented he was. Their conversations started by discussing their awesome Army skills and then progressed to talking about their love of family, food, and future business ventures. They also discovered that they are both graduates from a Historically Black College or University!

Brittany and Troy have both been deployed, and knowing that Troy would have to leave again soon they spent every moment together traveling. While traveling, Brittany would talk about her future goals and they eventually became his as well. It was during this treasured time that Brittany knew that she wanted him to be her husband.

During one of  Troy’s previous deployments Brittany wrote him a love letter to which he claimed to “never have received.” However, on April 15th, 2017 Brittany and Troy were hosting a housewarming party…Troy used this event as a platform to propose to Brittany. It wasn’t just any type of proposal, he got down on one knee and proposed to Brittany by reading her the “lost love letter” that she sent him during his deployment. Of course she said yes! Troy say’s Brittany enhances his life in every aspect. She is constantly setting goals and it is only a matter of time before she reaches them. There is nothing that she can’t do.

Even though Troy and Brittany are not from this area, they have been visiting Florida for years. They love being able to enjoy they warm weather and tropical feel during the winter months. Since they love to travel, they knew it would be great for their family as well. Brittany and Troy styled their wedding to be the epitome of black elegance with a Nubian twist and I have to admit black, royal blue, and gold never looked SO GOOD!

Congratulations Brittany + Troy, I loved hearing you say “I’m married!” to your guests. It was such a happy and heartfelt moment!

Kristen + Eric Step Into The Limelight | Museum of Fine Arts | St. Petersburg, FL

Kristen + Eric met on a snowy night in Cape Cod, Massachusetts in 2012 and have been on many adventures together ever since. Whether it is snowboarding, cliff jumping, kayaking, hiking, they both have SO much fun together! In true adventurous fashion, Eric proposed to Kristen in a living treehouse in Burlington, Vermont! 

Recently, Kristen + Eric have started a new chapter of their lives by moving to Florida. When Kristen + Eric were deciding where to have their wedding they decided that they wanted their family to experience Florida’s tropical atmosphere, as well as, having their guests embark on an adventure of their own. It just so happens that the weather this time of year is perfect for vacations….and weddings, so there was no better time to showcase their new hometown! 

On their wedding day, the weather was perfect and with a slight breeze ensuring that their northern guests did not get too hot. The ceremony atmosphere at the Museum of Fine Arts’ garden gave a little bit of ‘old Florida’ charm as well as classic elegance. When the ceremony came to conclusion and Kristen + Eric turned to their guests to be announced as husband and wife, their guests erupted in the most exciting and heartfelt moment I have ever experienced. It was a true celebration of love!

Congratulations on becoming Mr. and Mrs. Eric + Kristen, you are one of the sweetest couples I have ever met ♥️

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

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!

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

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

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.
