Meredith + Brantley Step Into The Limelight | The Birchwood | St. Petersburg, FL

February 14, 2020

a little something about our Meredith & Brantley…

How did he propose: (From Meredith's POV:) We were celebrating our third anniversary. As fans of wine and big band music, we decided to spend our anniversary at a Great Gatsby-themed NY Eve party at a vineyard/hotel outside of Atlanta, where we were living at the time (Chateau Elan). We went with another couple, who apparently was in on an even bigger surprise. Brantley had planned a proposal with the hotel staff - with roses and rose petals covering the hotel room, I walked into our room to see a bottle of champagne and two champagne glasses. When Brantley asked me to look at the champagne bottle, I noticed that there was a question printed on the bottle: "Will You Marry Me?". Completely surprised, I turned around to see Brantley on his knee holding a ring!!

What do you love about each other: Meredith: Brantley will put others before himself, always. He is selfless, empathetic, thoughtful, and aware. Brantley understands how important family and friends are to me, and constantly encourages us to go and visit the people that mean the most to us - one example of how he always puts others first :) He is funny, always finding ways to make me laugh even if I'm having a less-than-ideal day. He is kind and constantly challenges himself to be a better person - inspiring me to do and be better.
Brantley: Meredith makes me want to be the best version of myself. She is smart, passionate, and driven, and inspires everyone around her. She has pushed me (in a good way!) to want to lead a healthier life. She also introduced me to travel, and now one of our favorite things to do is to go explore new places either around Tampa Bay or outside of Florida.

These two were swooning the whole day… they just simply LOVE being together and that was felt around.
Their intimate ceremony at The Birchwood was perfectly filled with laughter and special moments are Meredith said their I do’s. They planned each aspect of their wedding day together, from selecting the music style to hand-selecting each flower {yes ladies, you read it correctly!}. Each detail shared their love story together and we are ALL here for it!

Meredith & Brantley… thank you so much for having us be a part of your LOVE STORY…
We wish you ALL the best in ALL you do..

xoxo

Becky + Brith Step Into The Limelight | Sandpearl Resort | Clearwater Beach, FL

February 14, 2020

In Fall 2016, Brith messaged Becky on OkCupid to ask if she would like to go out on a date. Brith, not knowing Becky was Jewish, suggested they go out to eat bacon (because bacon is so much cooler than coffee). Lucky for Brith, Becky was not kosher and did not take offense. Becky suggested a hip gastropub and they met up shortly thereafter. They quickly knew there was a connection and the date continued for over four hours. Brith walked Becky to her car and they both knew they wanted to see each other again. On July 4th, 2019, Brith unexpectedly got down on one knee, while the two of us were out on our balcony watching the fireworks.
Becky loves how affectionate Brith is towards her. She says he makes her feel grounded and at home and really admires how great of a person her is to her and others around him. Brith loves how Becky is giving and generous with her time, money, and energy. Becky’s intelligence and how loving and caring she is around Brith and his little boy.
Becky and Brith had their wedding at the the Sandpearl Resort in Clearwater Beach. They first say each other during their first look which was a very sweet and intimate moment for them. Ceremony time came along and they said their I do’s right on the white sand, with the water right behind them. To end the night, their family and friends all came together at Hunter’s Ballroom for dinner, drink and dancing! It was such a great time for this couple and we were more than honored to be there to capture their day.
Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs!

Erika + Wynn Step Into The Limelight | Downtown St. Petersburg

February 11, 2020

So much of Erika and Wynn’s love story is tied in to downtown St Pete! They had their first date at Red Mesa Cantina - we were able to even photograph them sitting at the exact same table! They spend many date nights at the local St Pete bars. And they were engaged in Straub Park, just beyond the Vinoy, and then headed to Red Mesa Cantina where friends and family met them to celebrate! They also will have their rehearsal dinner at Red Mesa Cantina, and their wedding will be held at the St Pete Museum of Fine Art. Wynn loves sailing and they both enjoy the water so we had to incorporate that in our session as well.

Due to an unexpected cold snap, the couple each wore a different outfit than originally planned. However, it worked out GREAT and made it easy to capture good “cuddle” “lovey” pictures. Congratulations Erika and Wynn - we are so excited for your upcoming wedding!

Brianna + Kristofer Step Into The Limelight | Magnolia Building | Lakeland, FL

February 6, 2020

Brianna and Kristofer got married in the beautiful month of January of 2020 at the Magnolia Building in Lakeland. They met online in July of 2014 and officially had their first date in person in Aug later that same year. Brianna says “Kris is very kind, thoughtful, and generous and he even plays music!” Kris loves that Brianna is strong, independent and intelligent with a great sense of humor and the two are just perfect for each other. On the wedding day, the two couple not stop being apart and even during our photo sessions that day, they were always holding hands or holding each other. Their wedding was decorated in purple and white details with a dessert table full of cupcakes, white drapes at the alter space and purple uplighting all around. It was the perfect atmosphere for all the sweet moments and of course party time! Congratulations to Brianna and Kris!
