Erica + Anthony Step Into The Limelight | Grand Plaza Hotel | St. Petersburg, FL

March 24, 2020

Erica & Anthony met through a friend (and also officiant) Erik, ten years ago.
Anthony proposed to Erica at home, they were getting ready to go out to dinner and he surprised her when he got on one knee with the kids close by (exactly how Erica wanted).

Erica loves that Anthony is honest, hard worker and makes her feel comfortable. They can always be themselves around each other and communicate through any situation. Erica loves his determination to set goals together and follow through until they are accomplished. What she loves most is how amazing he is as a father and caretaker to their family.

Anthony loves how much she makes him laugh, when she laughs… he loves her drive, even when she is exhausted she still steps up to the plate for their family. Anthony loves how supportive Erica is of his goals and hobbies. She always pushes him to be a better father and overall human being.

Erica & Anthony both enjoy parenting, eating good food, laughing, vacationing, relaxing (can we say spa day!), making coffee together and Netflixing! (yes, its a thing! lol)

For their wedding day, they wanted not just one day to celebrate but a whole trip with their family and friends to celebrate them! They love the beach and thought Grand Plaza Hotel would be the perfect place for their wedding as they live in Schenectady, New York.

They LOVE to dance and these two lit up the dance floor! It was definitely a night to remember. We enjoyed getting to know these two and their sweet boys, their wedding day was filled with lots of laughter and so many beautiful memories. We loved being there!

Erica & Anthony we wish you ALL the best in ALL you do.

Laura + Austin Step Into The Limelight | Sacred Heart Catholic Church + Rusty Pelican | Tampa, FL

March 23, 2020

Laura and Austin found out that each other existed July 29th 2017.They had matched on Tinder and Austin sent the first message. They didn’t meet in person until August 18th 2017 at Doc B’s at International Mall after Laura had previously canceled the first date attempt. Austin proposed down byTampa Bay with their brand new puppy Mason (who they had just brought home less than 24 hours prior).Austin said he wanted to play with Mason down by the Bay and when they got down there he found a bench for them to all sit on. As they were sitting there, he said that he had bought a new collar for Mason that was too big for her now but that she would grow into and hopefully last forever. BUT...that wasn’t the only thing he wanted to last forever! ha! That’s when he got down on one knee and asked Laura to marry him. He also had a “Will you marry me?” message engraved on the new collar’s tag. Laura was so distracted with letting the puppy down that she went running to get Mason before he could get the ring on her finger. Two of their friends were there hiding to take pictures.

Laura says of Austin,“We complete each other perfectly.We are very similar in our interests/greatest pleasures/beliefs (God, family first, football, exercising, eating, wine, traveling) and also very different. Austin is much more relaxed but also very particular. Laura is a planner and more high strung. Austin prefers cold weather and Laura would take the beach any day. I love the way that Austin always knows the perfect moments to kiss/hug/tell me he loves me. I can easily tell when he is extremely passionate about anything and he always gives 100%. Austin is my other whole. He loves me immensely, even at my worst and is the most loyal person I have ever met. He cares deeply for his family and close friends and has embraced my family as his own. He is always my biggest fan and supports me through all of my crazy endeavors. I know that even though there will be hurdles to overcome, he will always be right by my side.”

Austin says,“Laura is very strong willed.When she wants to accomplish something she spearheads the opportunity. Laura also as a very soft and mothering side. Her passion and experience working with children, combined with her innate desire to love and nurture, help to showcase the wonderful mother she will be one day. I love these characteristics.”

Together they enjoy trying new restaurants or recipes at home, drinking wine, attending sporting events, traveling and shopping.

Sacred Heart Catholic Church is the first place where Austin and Laura attended mass together and they have loved being a part of the parish family and getting involved with University Dinners and meeting other new parishioners. It was wonderful incorporating so many gifts of our Lord in their photos. Austin has been confirmed into the church and he communion for the first time with wine on their wedding day - how very special!

They both love the color blue so they wanted to incorporate as much blue as possible.The men wore in navy and the bridesmaids wore shades of blue as well. Laura’s gorgeous gown was flowy and light...perfect for a Florida wedding but very unique.

Most of their wedding day was traditional, but they did want to incorporate as much football theme as they could into the day as they both love football! Everyone at the wedding felt loved, happy, included, and full (full bellies)!

They wanted a small and intimate wedding with close friends and family, laid back, personal and very classy! Tampa Club was the perfect setting for their vision to come to life!

Linda + Steve Step Into The Limelight | St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Cathedral | Countryside Country Club | Clearwater, FL

March 18, 2020

Linda & Steve met on a dating app in 2017 and the rest is love…
They love laughing together and just being goofy (nothin’ wrong with that!) They are kind and caring to one another and they support and share the same dreams always lifting each other up on down days.

Linda & Steve enjoy boating, fishing, being around friends and family, date nights, biking down Dunedin and traveling.

Their wedding day was the epic mash up of the North East Local Greek Girl meets Southern boy… and we really enjoyed witnessing the beautiful Greek Orthodox Ceremony at St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Cathedral filled with beautiful and unique moments. They later joined their families at Countryside Country Club for their reception also filled with lots of traditional Greek dancing and so much fun!

This bunch knows how to celebrate! Everyone enjoyed the night away and we are here for it!

Thank you Linda & Steve for having us… we wish you both ALL the happiness in the world.

Lee + Nicholas Step Into The Limelight | Laurel Oak Country Club | Sarasota, FL

March 13, 2020

Lee and Nick met in November of 2012 through mutual friends at a party while on break from college. They started officially dating in August of 2013. In their own words: “I love that we are not just lovers but also friends. We enjoy boating together and quality time with each other but we also enjoy to have fun with our friends without each other.” Nick proposed in the mountains in North Carolina on a family vacation.

Their overall story is one of love. The cheerful wedding was filled with love, yet not traditional at all. The selected Laurel Oak Country Club as their venue because it is so fresh, sharp and clean looking and just had a brand new remodel. They chose a golf course because that is Nicholas' second love.

Special touches included personalized name plates, and a DIY seating chart. The highlight of the ceremony was the reaction of Nicholas when Lee walked down the aisle. The highlight from the reception was the high energy level of the party.
