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!

Rachael + Nick Step Into The Limelight | The Don Cesar | St. Petersburg, FL

July 18, 2019

Rachael and Nick met in my Junior year of college. Rachael was in school for by BSN in Fort Lauderdale and Nick was on an internship for golf in Kendall Florida. They love going to sport events, mostly baseball games, hockey and football. The proposal came as a complete surprise. They had season tickets to Saint Louis Cardinal's spring training games and Nick got extra tickets to go on the field and in the dugout Nick got someone to film the whole thing. It was spectacular!

Rachael and Nick had always wanted to have their wedding on the beach so having it at the Don Cesar was definitely the perfect place to say their I Do’s. Their ceremony was beautifully decorated with floral and an arch that set just the right romantic mood for the couple. The day was gorgeous with the sky full of clouds. This made for some dramatic photos of the couple right before they went inside their reception room to celebrate the night away.

Stephanie + Jeff Step Into The Limelight | Marina Cantina | Clearwater Beach, FL

July 2, 2019

Stephanie + Jeff met at work in 2010. They started off as friends but couldn’t deny that they had a considerable amount of chemistry. After some time, they decided to take their friendship and develop it into a relationship. Stephanie was nervous at first because she is a “package deal.” It wasn’t just Stephanie that Jeff needed to win over, Jeff needed to win over her son Alex as well. Stephanie was so happy that Jeff was accepting of Alex and has become the most amazing father for him.

Stephanie + Jeff enjoy each others sharp sense of humor and love how they balance one another out. Jeff knows how to make Stephanie laugh and he always knows how to calm her down when she is stressed or feeling down. Likewise, Jeff loves how Stephanie can always pick him up when he is having a rough day. They love traveling together, cooking, eating, projects around the house, and watching “their shows.”

Jeff proposed to Stephanie in Chicago on the 95th floor of the John Hancock Building. They just finished their meal at The Signature Room when the fireworks display began, at the same time as the fireworks the staff came and brought Stephanie her favorite dessert (Creme Brûlée) and on the plate it said, “Will you Marry Me?”

When deciding where to have their wedding Jeff and Stephanie knew it had to be in Florida. They both have a lot of amazing childhood memories here and it is a place both of them hold very near and dear to their hearts. Jeff and Stephanie came to Clearwater two years ago on vacation and absolutely loved it, they thought it would capture their laid back fun energy perfectly!

Congratulations on becoming husband and wife Stephanie + Jeff!
