Amy + Richard Step Into The Limelight | Downtown Tampa, FL

What a great session we had with this wonderful and happy family. We started off with all members of the family, including their four-legged loved ones. Love and laughter all throughout their session was contagious and set the tone to a beautiful moment. After shooting in the spot that Richard proposed to Amy, we made our way to a place with a little more of an exciting and relaxed atmosphere. Here, Amy and Richard got some drinks and cheered to a new life together! They will both be saying their I-DO’s mid JULY. Congratulations on your engagement!!!

Rachel + Benny Step Into The Limelight | Fort De Soto Park | St Petersburg, FL

Rachel + Benny met through mutual friends while living in Connecticut. They hit it off, yet Benny would always joke about the ’10 year plan.’ BUT after only 5 years…he knew that he needed Rachel to be his forever. Benny waited for their Connecticut trip to pop the question to Rachel and on Christmas day while they were surrounded by their friends and family, Benny asked Rachel to marry him. 

Congratulations on your engagement Rachel + Benny, I can’t wait for your New England infused winter wedding next year at the Opal Sands Resort!

Sarika + Shivan | Step Into The Limelight | Clearwater Recreation Center & Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach Resort and Spa | Clearwater Beach, FL

March 1st, 2019

Sarika + Shivan welcomed their wedding guests from around the world to Florida with an amazingly creative World Market Party! Their guests were whisked from their hotel to the event by Trolley and upon arrival they were met by two food trucks lit up by market lights. Staying true to their Indian roots and their market party theme they fitted the inside of the Clearwater Recreation Center with a beautiful jewel toned mandap where guests were met by a henna artist, moroccan lanterns, ceiling drapery with multicolored hanging umbrellas, and an authentic Indian food cart with travel themed party favors. 

Sarika, Shivan and their guests were impressed and so joyful to start the weekend celebration.

Sarika + Shivan met each other in Phoenix, Arizona in April of 2016. They immediately loved that they had mutual interests in hiking, mountain biking, traveling, going to the gym, and foodie festivals. The ‘like’ with one another eventually grew into the love for one another. She loves his caring nature and he loves her passion and ambition.

While at the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina, Sarika and Shivan took a horse and carriage ride to the top of the hill overlooking the Estate. While overlooking this castle-like building Shivan proposed to Sarika. 

Sarika + Shivan's wedding was like a Sri Lanken-Indian fusion fairytale with the ceremony at the very top of the Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach. It felt as if you were up in the clouds!

Congratulations to Sarika + Shivan, we are so happy for you!

Kimberly + Will Step Into The Limelight | The Don CeSar | St. Petersburg, FL

Kimberly & Will

Our story began in 2007 at Wharton High School in math class. We became friends after this math class that Will claimed to struggle in - he asked me to tutor him. We both had the same taste in music and were in sports. One time Will let me borrow a Sublime CD that I have yet to return to him. He still asks for it every time he wants to be funny. Years went by we went off to college but  remained friends. After I graduated college we started hanging out again. We enjoyed running, working out and began to travel together. After numerous miles that we ran, weights that were lifted, adventures that took place around the world and 3 years later Will got down on one knee on the beach in St. Petersburg, Florida.  

Kim - Loves Will’s patience . Will - Loves Kim’s ambition. Together they enjoy working out and traveling. 

Their elegant wedding day was inspired by a focus on flowers and a white color scheme.  Their wedding was truly a happy and exciting celebration. Their party had everyone up and dancing!
