Hannah + Adam Step Into The Limelight | Isla Del Sol Yacht & Country Club | St. Petersburg, FL

Hannah & Adam met in the Summer of 2015 through mutual friends. Since then… life has been full of beauty and their fur babies! Adam even proposed to Hannah right in their living room alongside their doggies.
They support each other in everything they do and honesty is key between the two.
Hannah & Adam enjoy traveling, hiking, swimming and exploring together.

Their wedding day was filled with lot of colors and family was all around… we were surrounded by water and sunshine. We truly loved seeing these two tie the knot. They have planned and dreamed of this day for quite some time, so seeing their vision come to life was precious. There were many DYI elements, from the bouquets done by Hannah’ sister to the decor on the gazebo to each little detail on the tables, the custom shells carrying the rings and flower girl baskets all made or embellished by hand.

Hannah & Adam we wish you both so much LOVE and many more adventures together!

Megan + Matthew Step Into The Limelight | Lido Beach Resort | Sarasota, FL

Surrounded by friends, family and love these two families became together in the midst of a lighthearted and fun ambiance.  Megan and Matthew met back on October 24, 2014. Their first date was to Handles Ice Cream shop in their hometown of Fishers, IN. Their second date was to the Indianapolis Zoo.  

According to Matt he proposed “very extravagantly” 😉. He proposed in front of the soldiers and sailors monument in Indianapolis, IN with all of their friends and family around. The bride’s best friends (Cristina and Michelle) took Megan on a scavenger hunt that ended at the monument. Cristina got Megan and Michelle lost in the middle of downtown Indianapolis on the way to the monument, in the pouring rain with a dead cell phone. But thankfully all worked out in the end! 

What do you love about each other? {In their own words…}
Matt loves about Megan:

  • She’s always thinking about others and putting others first

  • Great person, great friend

  • Puts up with my annoying and goody behavior

Megan loves about Matt:

  • Selfless, caring, loving

  • Will give everything he has if it will help someone else

  • His desire to make the world a better place (police officer, soldier in the army) 

  • His love and passion

  • Goofy, never takes life too seriously 

Together they enjoy playing with their “fur babies” Cooper (dog) and Niko (cat), going out to eat at new restaurants, double dates with Cristina and Spencer, exploring zoos and aquariums in different cities and spending time with families and friends.

Megan’s love for the ocean and her dream of getting married on the beach inspired their search for the perfect wedding venue. Megan’s grandparents live in the Sarasota area and that is how they discovered Lido Beach Resort.  Their classy, yet casual wedding was a  little bit country with ocean vibes. They brought their home town in Indiana to the beach by with incorporating country music and sunflowers in the decor.

Ruth + Manni Step Into The Limelight | Hilton Tampa Downtown | Tampa, FL

What an incredible celebration we had with Manni and Ruth! This two day event is definitely one to remember. Manni and Ruth met at a family gathering through their parents who go to the same church. Over time, they got closer and closer and began a journey together when Manni proposed Ruth during breakfast about 2 years after.

Their special day started on Saturday at Tampa Marriott Water Street and Westshore Grand in Tampa. Ruth wore a lace covered white bridal gown with just the right touch of sparkle for her ceremony dress while Manni stylishly wore an all white suit with red velvet detailing and shoes. Once ready, we made our way to Bayshore Baptist Church where the two said their I-Do’s and worshiped together with their new family. This couple was so happy to finally be Mr and Mrs and it was then time to celebrate! The Hilton Downtown hosted an elegant and elaborate wedding reception for this new couple. Gold centerpieces and rose gold detailing, white floral on every table and a gorgeous stage with white, ornate chairs and floral backdrop. It was PERFECT!

The Next day, the gathering was a celebration in their traditional and cultural attire. Manni and Ruth would be the King and Queen of this day and they sure dressed like royalty! The first look was especially sweet because Manni was flat-out amazed at his beautiful bride. At the GFWC Tampa Woman’s Club, family awaited their presence and grand entrance. They were singing and dancing throughout the whole evening once the couple arrived and the amount of joy in that room was something that we will always remember. It was more than spectacular and an honor to be part of Manni and Ruth’s wedding day. Congratulations!

Priya + Austin Step Into The Limelight | Rooftop 220 | Marriott Tampa Water Street | Tampa, FL

The wonderful thing about Priya & Austin is that they grew up together. They have known each other since middle school! How absolutely unique is that? They share the love for the Florida Gatos together as well as trashy reality shows! Let me tell you… they are both hilarious, they made us all laugh all day long. 

Priya & Austin reside in Colorado and they wanted to come back to Tampa where they grew up to celebrate.
They chose to do a Traditional Indian Hindu wedding ceremony at Tampa Water Street surrounded by family and close friends from all over the country. Some family members even traveled all the way from India to join in the festivities.
We absolutely enjoyed being a part of Priya & Austin’s story, from the welcome party (where we experienced out first Henna designs as photographers) to the non-stop dancing during their reception… the music, the food, the people it was all so very vibrant and alive with bliss. Such a beautiful and bright culture! 

Thank you Priya & Austin for having us! We wish you both ALL the best in life! badhaee ho
