Hannah + Adam Step Into The Limelight | University of Tampa | Tampa, FL

Hannah & Adam’s love story began back in Ohio and they are both taking roots in Tampa as they begin their lives together in sunny Florida. They LOVE their dogs Titus & Nala so it was so important to have them join in their engagement session (they did so well!). 

Hannah & Adam will tie the knot in February of 2020 at Isla del Sol and we could not be more excited.

Happy wedding planning!

Samantha + Joe Step Into The Limelight | The Sunset by Gulf Drive | Bradenton Beach, FL

Samantha and Joe met on eharmony in November of 2014. They were living in Manhattan in an apartment in Hell's Kitchen, Joe took her to one of their favorite restaurants and then up to the rooftop of their building and he proposed there with the skyline as their beautiful backdrop. Joe never fails to make her laugh. They are each other's best friend and are always happy to spend time together, no matter what they are doing.

Samantha and Joe had their wedding at The Sunset by Gulf Drive Café right next to the beautiful blue ocean. They invited friends and family from all parts of the states to join them in one of the most important day of their lives. The ceremony site was lined with white chair with coral linens and flower pedals that trailed up to where they would be standing to say their I-Do’s. Reception was beach themed and provided seats to their guests until it was time to party! It was truly a pleasure to be part of their special day! Congratulation to the newlyweds!!!

Trish + Nick Step Into The Limelight | TradeWinds Island Resort | St. Pete Beach, FL

Trish & Nick met at a Carolina Panthers vs. Seattle Seahawks football game on January 17, 2016 for the NFL Divisional Round game. After a Panthers win Nick and Trish met up at a bar and it has been a “football loving” relationship ever since!

Nick proposed to Trish on the evening of June 9, 2018 at their house. Trish was out with her girlfriend getting pampered at Ré Salon in Charlotte. Trish was expecting a laid back evening and kept Nick anxiously waiting at the house for 4 hours while she relaxed and had wine. Upon Trish coming home she proceeded to play with the neighbor’s kids, check the mail, and do the dishes all while Nick was hiding upstairs with ring, flowers, and wine in hand.

Trish & Nick share kindness, passion, they are supportive of each other, they encourage each other, they care of each and in the midst of it all… they find humor. They enjoy the beach and have always dreamt of having a destination beach wedding. They like to go to different breweries, wineries, they love traveling and cooking oh and visiting Triple D Restaurants (Diner, Drive-Ins, & Dives) How fun is that?

For their wedding, they wanted a simple yet modern beach wedding with a contemporary & tropical twist. A wedding where guests will feel comfortable in beach dress attire, while providing an elegant feel. Since this is a complete destination wedding they wanted all traveling guests to feel warm and welcomed and TradeWinds Island Resort did not disappoint. The outfits overall, bring out all the beach feels and they were able to include dark blue/navy for Nick's favorite college team - Penn State Nittany Lions.

From the handmade signs all throughout, to the Palma Phoenix Green filler plants and the dramatic King Protea Flowers to the mouth watering Doughnut Bar (in which the stands were handcrafted by Trish and her dad) to the ever chic and trendsetting geometric ceremony arch. Did you know that the triangle is the strongest shape found in nature? The sweetest moment during the ceremony was when Taylor joined Trish & Nick and was given a necklace from the couple, representing their infinite union. Family & thoughtfulness was all around. Trish’s vision came to life with beauty and everlasting memories.

Oh…to our bright blue eyed Trish, laid-back Nick & sweet Taylor we wish you ALL the good life can bring.

Enjoy it with all your heart.

Raquel + Brendan Step Into The Limelight | Powel Crosley Estate | Sarasota, FL

Raquel + Brendan met on Tinder (yay modern technology!) and went on their first date on August 11th, 2017 and have been inseparable ever since. You know that feeling when you truly believe you’ve know each other for ages? Yeah… that happened instantly. They love being around each and they are not ashamed to say, they love each other quirkiness! They enjoy traveling, going to the movies, trying new places to eat, cooking together, and relaxing at home together.
Brendan made the bold move of proposing to Raquel at the ever romantic Ca' D'Zan Museum in Sarasota, Florida. He even bought out the tour so he could propose in the Great Hall. So selecting Powel Crosley Estate was no brainer as it resembles the Ca' D'Zan Museum where Brendan proposed.
Their wedding day was romantic and elegant yet non-traditional. The classic neutral colors with the boldness and pop of burgundy and fuchsia was pure (beautiful) drama.
We loved being part of their “I Do’s” and it always an honor to be able to capture such special moments.
Raquel + Brendan we wish you both nothing but the best and may you always find beauty in each other.
Live boldly!

Blaire + Brandon Step Into The Limelight | The Ringling Museum | Sarasota, FL

What an amazing day we had with Blaire and Brandon on this beautiful day in May. We started off the day at the Westin in Sarasota where both Brandon and Blaire got together with their bridal party to get ready for the big day. The time quickly came to put on the dress. Blaire looked spectacular in her gown! We traveled to The Ringling where both the ceremony and reception would take place right at the Ca D’zan. The view was gorgeous and this couple made it even more beautiful. There was floral EVERYWHERE in both ceremony and reception. A harpist played a song which gave way to Blaire’s walk down the aisle which was just a beautiful moment to cherish.

Once the ceremony was done, we went into the mansion and to the top of the exclusive tower that had an amazing view. This couple made it picture perfect and it was so much fun!

Brandon and Blaire, we really enjoyed being a part of your special day, congratulations!!!
