Marissa + Bryce Step Into The Limelight | Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach Resort and Spa | Clearwater Beach, FL

October 9, 2019

Marissa and Bryce met in 2012 when Bryce transferred to her workplace. Marissa immediately loved how Bryce had the ability to make her laugh even when she may have had a very terrible day. Besides being hilarious, Bryce has always been so kind and loving with her. Bryce feels like he can always be himself around Marissa, which is so important to him because he tends to joke around a lot. He loves everything about Marissa and her company. Marissa and Bryce enjoy going to the drag racing track, binge watching Netflix, playing video games, and playing with their dogs together.

In 2018, Bryce proposed to Marissa on their yearly ski trip. Every year they travel to the mountains in North Carolina, so nothing was out of the ordinary. As they were skiing down the mountain, Bryce asked her to stop halfway down. She thought they were going to take a picture, but instead Bryce proposed!

Marissa and Bryce were married at Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach Resort and Spa’s 16th floor sky terrace overlooking the beautiful view of Clearwater Beach and surrounded by their loved ones.

Congratulations Marissa and Bryce, may your days be filled with enormous amounts of love and laughter!

Karen + Joey Step Into The Limelight | St. Pete Museum of Fine Arts | St. Petersburg, FL

October 8, 2019

In August of 2014, Karen and Joey met through a combination of mutual friends while working at the same place. Joey quickly discovered Karens Kind and caring nature, while, Karen really enjoyed Joey’s sense of humor and how he was always making her laugh. In November, they decided to start dating.

Knowing Karens love of museums, Joey attempted to propose at The Ringling Museum of Art in Sarasota, however, Karen wasn’t prepared to go to the museum because she was too hungry. Instead of going to the museum, Joey proposed to Karen with a beautiful Emerald engagement ring in the comfort of their own home.

Karen and Joey love watching TV and movies, eating out and trying new restaurants, but their favorite is to travel and visit museums. Which is where the inspiration for their wedding location came from. Not only do they have a love for downtown St Pete, they also love the beauty of the Museum of Fine Arts as well.

Joey and Karen’s wedding was not your typical wedding, there was no theme. I know that sounds strange to others, but I found it amazingly refreshing. After all, they weren’t throwing a birthday or Halloween party, it was their wedding day! They chose to incorporate details that were very unique to them. For example, they had emerald green groomsmen details and bridesmaids dresses, to showcase the engagement ring and the love of their relationship. Next, they had books as their table numbers, because they love to read. They had a Lego cake topper of a bride and groom and a thumb print guest book in the theme of the movie “UP.”

Congratulations on becoming husband and wife Karen and Joey!

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…
