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.

Emily + Vinny | Step Into The Limelight | Rialto Theater | Tampa, FL

January 21, 2020

I love me some Emily & Vinny ♥️
I first met Emily during a styled shoot for Milan Catering. Emily is a wedding planner and we clicked right away as we worked together during the session. At that point I could not have imagined I would be photographing her very own special moments as a stunning bride.
I met Vinny during their engagement session along with their cute lil pup Pim… it was so nice getting to know the one who swept Emily off her feet and let me tell you… even though they met on Tinder (ha!) they are absolutely perfect for each other. Emily has such a natural way of being calm in the middle uncertainties (honestly, no one would ever know anything unplanned is happening!) She just has a way of gently fixing a situation and moving things along… Vinny on the hand NEEDS his Emily by his side. He makes her smile (constantly!) and Emily is able to truly enjoy each moment with him. They compliment each other beautifully. She plans, he smiles and melts her heart ♥️
Their wedding day was incredibly beautiful… the bright reds and golds made it so classic! The rustic feel of the venue made it so glam and gave us all Old Hollywood. Each little detail was carefully thought out and the end result was just gorgeous in every way.
I am still in awe that I was trusted to photograph Emily & Vinny’s dream wedding.
I wish you both ALL good things… cheers to many beautiful memories together!

Jackie + Matt Step Into The Limelight | The Westin Tampa Bay | Tampa, FL

November 6, 2019

Jackie & Matt met in 2012 at a work Christmas Party (oh and Christmas is so close!).

She loves his big heart and loyalty to his friends and family… she also loves how intelligent Matt is.

Matt loves her compassion towards others and how she prioritizes family oh and she can cook! Jackie is also very resourceful when it comes to crafts (how fun is that?!)

They enjoy spending time with family, eating ice cream (yum!), traveling and hiking.

Jackie & Matt’s wedding truly was very laid back yet super fun! We loved their contemporary decor with a wood circle arch, glass welcome sign and the ever so classic blush tones in the flowers.

One of the sweetest moments during the Ceremony was their Sand Ceremony… they brought sand from their home towns Michigan & South Carolina and poured them together in a very meaningful moment after saying their vows to each other ❤

They danced the night away and enjoyed many sweet moments with family & friends.

As for us… we just adored being a part of Jackie & Matt’s love story.
