Rosario + Roger Step Into The Limelight | Tampa Club | Tampa, FL

October 29, 2020

Rosario & Roger LOVE life!! We truly enjoyed meeting them and their amazing families.

They met online in September of 2019 and have been inseparable ever since. They love to have fun together and they are almost always smiling or laughing together. They enjoy salsa dancing (which we got to witness first hand! Fuego!) singing, playing guitar (which Roger is amazing at!) Binge watching Netflix, fine wining & dining, traveling and boating.

Roger played it real big when he proposed to Rosario on a helicopter overlooking the ocean and beaches of St. Petersburg and Clearwater so Tampa Club was the most appropriate location to tie in all their love with elegance, glamour and class.
During their special wedding ceremony they were able to represent their families in beautiful ways, where Rosario’s sons walked her down the aisle and both families declared beautiful words over the couple. It was an intimate beautiful day filled with lots of meaningful moments.
We witnessed two beautiful people sharing their love with the ones they adore the most and a tip to the wise “take your time when saying your wedding vows”. Rosario had us ALL crying as she gracefully took her time when reciting her vows to Roger, it gave us all chills. And if you have a talent… incorporate it in your wedding, Roger serenaded his bride during the reception and it was jaw dropping.

Rosario & Roger, please continue to be this amazing ray of sunshine to the world and enjoy every possible moment together. You two deserve ALL good things. Cheers!

October 26, 2020

Get to know Melissa & Ryan…

How/when did you meet each other:: We met online. I swiped right. Our first date was at Bar 185- we talked for some time and then didn’t see each other for a few weeks after. Then we talked /texted daily. We saw each other at least a few times a week from that day on..

How did he propose:: In Napa, at Far Niente- it was beautiful. We had a perfect tasting (we both love wine) and then we walked around the pond and I thought he was taking a photo of us- instead he was videotaping as he asked me to marry him!

What do you love about each other:: We are loving, truthful. We compliment each other. We are respectful of each other's times and values. We make each other laugh, help each other, make each other better. We challenge each other and want the other to be their best.

We LOVED celebrating with Melissa & Ryan, their wedding day at Powel Crosley was filled with cherished moments, surrounded by family & close friends.

COVID-19 and rain tried to take away their joy but was unsuccessful, Melissa & Ryan’s LOVE showed through and they enjoyed each precious minute. Their smiles lit up the room and made each moment meaningful and sweet. Powel Crosley enkindled the perfect atmosphere for Melissa & Ryan to savor each part of their day and dance the night away.

Thank you Melissa & Ryan for having us be a part of such a special day! We wish you both ALL the best life can bring. Cheers!

Jennifer + John Step Into The Limelight | Lake Dan Nature Preserve | Odessa, FL

October 26, 2020

Jennifer met John at an Irish Pub six years ago. Even though they spent the entire night chatting, they spent the next two years being friends on Facebook. After many attempts and a run-in, Jennifer finally agreed to let John take her out. Here we are six years later and they have been inseparable ever since. John proposed to Jennifer during at a family campfire, surrounded by family with their song playing.

For their session, the couple incorporated their pup and John brought a picnic basket. I loved photographing this fun loving couple for their engagement session and cannot wait for their wedding in November.

Shannon + Kevin Step Into The Limelight | Tropical Breeze Resort | Siesta Key, FL

October 8, 2020

We absolutely loved being a part of Shannon and Kevin’s big day. They were married in Siesta Key (their second favorite place) and surrounded with love. The couple met four years ago, on the dance floor of Traders and has been dancing together ever since.

Kevin original proposal plans did not go as planned due to a late arrival of the ring. However, things happened just like they were mean to be because he ended up popping the question to Shannon in New Smyrna Beach, where the couple originally met! In the words of Shannon, “it was perfect”.

Shannon and Kevin are some of the most generous souls and love surprising each other with acts of gratitude. They share a love for 60s-70s country music, rock and roll, traveling, boating and spending time with loved ones. Oh, and they do cherish their Friday night Winn Dixie runs.

Their wedding day was a classic beach wedding and filled with joy and love. Congrats, Mr. and Mrs. Ward!
