Brielle + Nick Step Into The Limelight | Key West, FL

September 24, 2019

The ever-so-sweet and fun couple: Brielle + Nick met initially at the Apple store! Nic was working as a “Genius” technician. Brielle’s phone was broken. After he fixed it they connected on social media. And guess what? Her phone broke AGAIN! From there their friendship and love blossomed.

For the proposal, Nic went ALL OUT and managed to pull it all off as a surprise! Together they rented and Airbnb and scooters for the first time to go explore all around Key West. Nic proposed at sunset at Fort Zachary. For the engagement portrait session, we went back to the EXACT spot where Nick initially popped "THE" question and he got down on one knee again!!! 💛💛💛

Together, Brielle and Nic enjoy exploring new areas, eating sushi, going on hikes - they are “doers”! We cannot WAIT for your wedding at Casa Marina!!!!

Yenifer + Hector Step Into The Limelight | Hilton Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort | Fort Lauderdale, FL

September 10, 2019

Proverbs 18:22
He who finds a wife finds a good thing.

When you find your “person”… just the fact of being around them makes you completely happy.
Yenifer & Hector are each other’s “person”… in more way than one.
They 𝓁𝑜𝓋𝑒 doing life together and actually enjoy the simple fact that they get to go grocery shopping together! They like to go shopping, taking their girls Maddie & Bailey out for walks and they even enjoy doing absolutely nothing together at home.
They 𝓁𝑜𝓋𝑒 to travel and have seen some incredible places along their journey, Japan, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Paris, Israel, Spain, El Salvador… and these are just the places I know of!

Here’s what they 𝓁𝑜𝓋𝑒 about each other… in their own words:
What I love about Yenifer is her eyes and smile. She has the most beautiful, and sensitive heart. Love that she's a go-getter. She always do whatever she says she's going to do. She lights up my world. Always cheers me up when I'm not feeling at my best, and keeps a positive attitude towards any situation we may go through. I love the fact that she always pushes herself to accomplish every goal and dreams. I feel blessed to have her as my wife, and the thought of spending the rest of our lives together gives me the strength, motivation and desire to be the best I can.
What do I love about Hector.. his way of seeing life, his personality and his eyes (specially eyelashes). I love the fact that I can be myself around him. We can laugh at the most stupid thing for hours. His a responsible and caring man. lastly but not least, I love the fact that he pay attention to every detail about me, if I need or want something etc. Overall I don't see my life with anyone else but him.

Their ceremony was intimate and filled with emotion, their vows were spoken while everyone enjoyed the gorgeous view of Fort Lauderdale Beach, it was so romantic and meaningful.
Yenifer & Hector love their family and friends and their love for them was inevitable on their wedding day. They made sure to intentionally hug and talk to everyone present… it was beautiful to witness.
And let me tell you…they 𝓁𝑜𝓋𝑒 to laugh, their smiles were consistently on their faces the whole day and they both truly enjoyed every moment of their day.

I just 𝓁𝑜𝓋𝑒 they way they 𝓁𝑜𝓋𝑒…

Abby + Eric Step Into The Limelight | Sirata Beach Resort | St. Petersburg, FL

August 22, 2019

Abby and Eric met In April of 2017 when a mutual friend set them up on a blind date. Eric drove two hours to take Abby out for dinner and drinks. They hit it off right away and have now been together for over 2 years. One day, when they were on vacation in Punta Cana, Eric got down on one knee and asked for Abby’s hand in marriage. Of course, she said yes!

Eric and Abby both love to travel and love the beach. His family lives in Ohio, while Abby’s family lives in Illinois. They were going to have a wedding in Indianapolis as a central location, but when they realized Abby’s grandparents wouldn't be able to make a 2 hour drive, they both decided to have a small ceremony for them at home and then take off and get married on the beach with their closest family and friends in Florida. Since both Abby and Eric love the beach, Eric did some research on locations and made plans to call a few locations. They fell in love with Sirata Beach Resort.

On the day of their wedding, Abby’s bridesmaids wore sunflower yellow dresses and the men were in gray and white outfits. Abby wore a beautiful, white gown and held the most colorful and lively bouquet of flowers. Each groomsmen had a different colored boutonniere and the bridesmaids had bold colored bouquets as well. The day was sunny with a clear blue sky. It was simply perfect for these two!

Kristen + Joe Step Into The Limelight | Piedmont Park + Farr Family Farm | Atlanta, GA

August 8, 2019

Kristen and Joe originally met at work,. Their office staff would go out after work and Kristen was able to see Joe's true personality. She claims he could not keep her away, plus he liked her a little bit too. ;) They quickly discovered they have similar interests. It's one of those unique chapters in life that just doesn't have a title, the story just wrote itself and they were together.

Kristen and Joe went on a cruise around Valentines day of 2019 and on 02.10.19. Joe said he wanted to go see the front of the ship. It was nighttime therefore there were not a lot of people around and he said "you know I love you right" then got down on one knee and proposed to Kristen. So sweet!

Kristen says, “I love how Joe is such a dork he can always find a way to make me laugh, and when he laughs he has this cute little giggle. He is also so smart it still amazes me to this day. He loves his family so much (even the crazies) and has grown to be part of mine. He's also an Asian that likes country music, what could i not love about that?”

Joe says, “I love Kristen for not only her intelligence and beauty, but her character and her accepting of me for who I am...I believe she phrased it "a dork". I love how she is always willing to take on new adventures with me. She loves her family (yes like mine, even the crazies) as I love mine. Plus who can resist a country girl!”

We had such a pleasure getting to know not only Kristen and Joe, but also Joe’s family for their engagement portrait session. The happy couple currently live and work in Atlanta. So it only made since that we began the session in Piedmont Park - in the heart of downtown Atlanta. We were blessed to have such a clear day with no rain in the middle of so many summer thunder storms! We then made the drive north to Rydal, GA. I was blown away to experience the juxtaposition of the peace of being in midst of God’s natural creation on the Farr family farm with the liveliness and hustle & bustle of downtown!

We are so excited to for Kristen and Joe and look forward to capturing more of their love story at their wedding next spring at the famous “Pink Palace”, the Don CeSar on St Pete Beach.
