Dawn + Charles Step Into The Limelight | Fenway Hotel | Dunedin, FL

Dawn + Charles’ story began when they met on an online dating website. They are both big into health and fitness and love to train together by cycling, skiing boating, and hiking. Dawn + Charles are also hardworking and in their off time they love to live life large and travel.

Charles proposed to Dawn at a private beach in the Bahamas after enduring a very rough sea day on their boat. On the day of the proposal he knew the timing was right when all of a sudden the wind seized and the clouds opened to reveal the sun. He knew it was his late mothers presence and took it as a sign from above that Dawn was the one!

Congratulations on becoming husband and wife Dawn + Charles!

Andreina + John Step Into The Limelight | Cross Creek Ranch | Dover, FL

Ina first met John while finishing her internship at Palmetto General Hospital. Though John did not notice Ina during this time, he definitely left quite the impression on her. Sadly, their timing was not right and Ina's internship came to an end sending them both on separate ways. Fast forward a couple of months when Ina was offered a job at Palmetto and where John was still working on his fellowship. This time, however, their timing was perfect and with a little help from some friends, a relationship began between the two. They were both crazy about each other and knew they wanted to spend the rest of their lives together and so John asked Ina the question in front of a million people (which she hated) and she said yes. Now the two live together in Tampa along their two crazy, but loving puppies, Red and Blue. 

Love story from couples’ website: http://www.johnpaulandandreinasayido.wedding/ 

We could not have asked for a more beautiful weekend!  The deeply rooted and serene ceremony at Nativity Catholic Church was intimate and honorable. Then on Saturday,  the feeling all around was warm and comforting with family & friends and the most perfectly decorated venue at Cross Creek Ranch with touches of dusty pink elegance with a modern rustic chic feel.

Ina & John are a delight to be around… they live life to the fullest and their dancing shoes are on ALL DAY!

Andreina is from Venezuela, so you know the party was on! So.Much.Fun. indeed! Along with so many memorable moments, like the First Look on the “love” bridge, First Dances and the time when the Best Man said “ I’ve know John since kindergarten”, such a cherished friendship. This will be a night to remember for us. 

Thank you for having us Andreina & John. We wish you ALL the best life can bring. Viva la vida!

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.

March 2nd, 2019

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!
