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

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.

Liana + Mike Step Into The Limelight | Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach Resort and Spa | Clearwater, FL

Liana and Mike had an amazing wedding at the beautiful Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach Resort and Spa. I had the privilege of meeting this lovely couple a few months prior when we took engagement photos at Sandy Beach. They were so much fun and so lively together, it truly was a great time for all of us! The wedding day finally arrived and both Mike and Liana along with their friends and family were more than excited for the big day. Mike and Liana said their I-Do’s on the terrace which overlooked the water. The weather was PERFECT and their ceremony space was beautifully decorated with white chairs, floral arrangements at the front and on the chairs - classic and elegant! 

The reception that followed was just as beautiful with purple up-lit walls, white roses and green foliage center pieces and a cake which had two seahorse right at the top to give it just the right amount of ocean flair. To end the night full of happy moments, the couple had a nice streamer sendoff with all their guests surrounding them. It was pretty neat and a night to remember. 

Congratulations to the newlyweds!!!

Victoria + Saleh Step Into The Limelight | Embassy Suites by Hilton Tampa Downtown Convention Center | Tampa, FL

Victoria and Saleh got married at theEmbassy Suites in downtown Tampa. Friends and family from all parts of the world came to this special occasion to celebrate love at it’s finest! Family from Central America and Egypt reunited in one of the venue’s ballrooms to watch Victoria walk up the isle with her father to meet the love of her life standing there waiting for his bride with pure happiness in his eyes..

Their reception was held in another ballroom which was beautifully decorated with navy blue napkins, clear-gold-beaded chargers, a white lace and navy blue runner,  white and blue floral arrangements, and golden amber uplighting around the room. Two cakes were displayed, one of which was made into the form of a gold pyramid.  At one point during dinner service, a belly dancer surprised the couple with a couple dances that sparked joy and created an atmosphere of excitement on the dance floor. This day was truly spectacular for the couple since they were surrounded by all their loved ones who lived near and far. Congratulations to Victoria and Saleh!

Rachael + Nick Step Into The Limelight | The Don Cesar | St. Petersburg, FL

Rachael and Nick met in my Junior year of college. Rachael was in school for by BSN in Fort Lauderdale and Nick was on an internship for golf in Kendall Florida. They love going to sport events, mostly baseball games, hockey and football. The proposal came as a complete surprise. They had season tickets to Saint Louis Cardinal's spring training games and Nick got extra tickets to go on the field and in the dugout Nick got someone to film the whole thing. It was spectacular!

Rachael and Nick had always wanted to have their wedding on the beach so having it at the Don Cesar was definitely the perfect place to say their I Do’s. Their ceremony was beautifully decorated with floral and an arch that set just the right romantic mood for the couple. The day was gorgeous with the sky full of clouds. This made for some dramatic photos of the couple right before they went inside their reception room to celebrate the night away.
