Danielle + Daniel Step Into The Limelight | Baldwin Park, Orlando FL

April 11, 2019

Danielle and Daniel met each other through online dating on Match.com and had their first date in July of 2016. They instantly connected after their fist date and never looked back. They were in Charleston (Danielle's favorite city) where they went out to dinner at a rooftop restaurant, went on a tour and then… when they returned to the hotel Daniel asked Danielle to marry him!

Danielle graduated from UF and Daniel is from Ocala - they both enjoy watching football together and go often to a Gator Bar to watch the Gator's game. So it only made sense to begin our session at the Thirsty Gator! Next we ventured over to the super chic Baldwin Park Village and we ended the session at the beautiful Lake Baldwin. We love the variety of images we created using a mixture of nature and charming architecture. It feels like we ventured everywhere from Colorado to Italy!

April 11, 2019

Christina and Matthew met for the first time in Tampa at a Christmas church party where they both didn't know anybody. They happened to walk side-by-side on the way into the party and ended up talking with each other the whole night. on the day Matt proposed, He took Christina to the Colombia Restaurant in Clearwater. They both sat at the beach and watched the sunset. That's when he proposed! To celebrate, they went to The Melting Pot for dessert and enjoyed each other’s company. Matt LOVES how kinda and caring Christina is and Christina loves how bold Matt is. Together, they enjoy watching movies and musicals.

Christina and Matt Got married in the church where Christina grew up in. Grace Episcopal Church was and has always been a part of her families like so it only made sense to say their I-Do’s there. Spanish architecture has always been attractive to the two, so the couple decided to have their reception at the beautiful Avila. Their decor was classic and romantic with blue candles, large, tall florals as center pieces, and an ombre blue cake. It was honestly such a beautiful time where the both of them spent quality time together as Mr. and Mrs. Congratulations!!!

Adriana + Matthew Step Into The Limelight | Circle B Bar Reserve | Lakeland, FL

April 9, 2019

I had quite the pleasure of meeting both Adriana and Matt on this beautiful, overcast day. We explored a park in Lakeland where the two had already had a nice stroll before earlier in their relationship. Both Adriana and Matt could not stop looking at each other - they love each other’s company so much and you could tell by the smiles and laughter the two would have together. It was such a great day! The two lovebirds will be saying their I-Do’s mid November and we cannot wait! Congratulations on your engagement!!!

Katie + Giorgio Step Into The Limelight | Powel Crosley Estate | Sarasota, FL

April 5, 2019

In September 2010, Giorgio's fraternity was hosting an event. After the event ended, there was an after party that Giorgio was going to. Katie also ended up going to this same party through some mutual friends. Later on that night, they met and it was history since.

The two officially started dating on November 12, 2010. Giorgio had invited Katie to join him in Marco Island for the weekend. He had also arranged to have dinner at Da Vinci's and then to watch the Sunset at Resident's Beach. On the beach Giorgio officially asked Katie to be his girlfriend.

Katie was just finishing up her last couple of weeks of nursing school. For the longest time, She was told they were going to go to Marco Island that weekend. Unfortunately, Katie had to cancel the plans last minute. Little did she know, Giorgio had planned to propose that weekend on April 29, 2017. Giorgio quickly figured out a backup plan. That week, Katie had officially received her first job offer as a registered nurse. Giorgio took this opportunity to plan something and told her they were going out to dinner to celebrate the new job.

That Friday before dinner, Giorgio told Katie to go to the mall and he would buy an outfit for her for dinner the next day. On the way to dinner, Giorgio told Katie they were going to some cool place for drinks. They went to Oystercatchers, which is right on the water in Tampa. Both of them ordered drinks at the bar and then Giorgio stated he wanted to go outside. Before going outside he "went to the bathroom" aka gave his phone to the hostess to take pictures. Little did Katie know, Giorgio had gone to Osytercathces the day prior to tip the hostess and to take pictures the following day.

Katie was so confused as to why Giorgio wanted to go outside especially since it was the first hottest and most humid day of the season (about 95 degrees out). He said “come here I want to show you the view”.

As they were walking to the water, Katie could not even figure out what was happening until She turned her head and Giorgio was on one knee asking marry Katie!!!

What an amazing day we had with Katie and Giorgio in mid March 2019. Their ceremony and reception was fully decorated with floral and green foliage. Katie wore a stunning gown that made her look spectacular. Giorgio wore a blue suit that made him look sharp. The two said their I-Do’s at the Powel Crosley Estate in Sarasota FL. It was a great wedding day for the two fully of laughter and dancing. Congratulations to the newlyweds!!!

Staci + Juan Step Into The Limelight | Carrollwood Country Club | Tampa, FL

April 4, 2019

Staci + Juan met through Myspace in 2008, when Juan was commenting on her pictures and trying to message her. She eventually decided to message him back and that was how they realized they went to the same school. Staci was a freshmen and Juan was a sophomore. They became really close friends and Staci always knew that he really liked her, but it took her longer to get there. Eventually she ended up developing a huge crush on him. They decided to date, but it didn’t last as Staci moved and went to a different high school for her sophomore year. They lost touch until they ran into each other while attending college and that’s where their friendship picked right back up where they left it. They remained friends for a while until Juan told Staci that he loves her and he has for a very long time. Juan then told her that no one could ever treat Staci as well as he would and no one could ever love her as much as he does.

They began to date on March 12, 2013 and have been together ever since. On a very cold Christmas Day in 2016, Juan + Staci were up in the mountains spending time with Juans’ family when they decided to go outside for a hike. They stopped for a moment to enjoy the view and were discussing how beautiful the scenery was and how much fun they were having together. Juan told Staci that “nothing could ever be more beautiful to him than me”…at that moment he took a knee and asked Staci to spend the rest of her life with him.

There are so many things that Staci + Juan love about one another and that even after five years they continue to find new things to love. Staci loves how goofy they are together, and how vulnerable they can be with one another. They are never afraid to express themselves or to be open and honest with one another about anything. However, their most absolute favorite thing is watching one another be parents to their daughter Kendall. Staci loves how much Juan loves their little girl and how he is THE BEST DAD EVER!

Congratulations Staci, Juan, + Kendall!
