Laina + Henry Step Into The Limelight | St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church + The 1910 Inn | Tarpon Springs, FL

Henry and Laina met in 2009 on the first day of Tarpon Springs High School. They were paired together as partners for projects in a Culinary Arts elective class and they have been inseparable ever since.

Almost a decade later, they were enjoying a birthday celebration for Henry in St. Pete. After a day of festivities, Henry and Laina were supposed to be meeting friends at the Fenway Hotel but the friends were “running late”. While waiting, Henry and Laina walked across the street to a bench by the water to watch the waves. Henry got down on one knee and proposed. After saying yes, the “tardy” friends ran across the street from where they had been watching the entire time (sneaky sneaky) to congratulate and celebrate with them!

Henry says: I love that we are friends first and that we have a good balance of doing what’s best for each other, whether that means putting the needs of one of us ahead of the other and vice versa. I also like that we share similar views and positions on life’s big questions and issues and we’re not afraid to communicate about them.

Laina says: : I love that, no matter the situation, everything is always better when we're together. Grocery shopping, laundry folding, and other mundane tasks are made fun with lots of laughs together. I also love that, even when we’re upset, there is always mutual shared respect and kindness for one another. When we argue, we fight with love.

St. Nicholas has been integral to Henry's life. The Greek Orthodox faith is very important to him and getting married anywhere else was unthinkable. Henry went with the classic black tuxedo, with the Coburn Clan tartan cummerbund, an attempt to balance his Scottish heritage with the Greek. While the ceremony was at St. Nicholas, Laina was able to incorporate her Episcopal upbringing through the organ music at the start and close of their ceremony.

Throughout the day, the couple had integrated personal aspects highlighting the things they love about Florida. Laina had oranges in her bouquet to add a bright pop of color. Instead of cake the couple went for a delicious key lime pie. Finally, their favorite restaurant served a delicious spread of fresh seafood and local beers during the reception.

It was truly a pleasure being able to be present for this wonderful couple. We wish them the best of the best and many more years of fun and adventure together as Mr. and Mrs. Congratulations!!!

Sarah + Brett Step Into The Limelight | Sirata Beach Resort | St. Pete Beach, FL

Brett proposed in Maui on the Kaanapali beach during the sunset on August 3rd 2019. Brett loves how Sarah tells funny stories and makes him laugh. He loves her sense of adventure and how much she cares about other people. Sarah loves how patient, kind, and caring Brett is. He is really great at making Sarah smile and keeping things light when she is taking things too seriously. Together, they like to take their boat out to the lake and go wake-boarding. They both enjoy going to the mountains to snowboard and like going on runs together. When at home, they like watching shows or movies on the couch and hanging out with their new puppy Zeke! They are both big sports fans and enjoy watching and attending sporting events for all of our SF Bay Area teams.

Sarah's parents recently retired and moved to Florida. Sarah always wanted a beach wedding so St. Pete Beach was the best option for us! It is their happy place so the Sirata Beach Resort was just perfect for this beautiful and happy couple.

The wedding day itself was one that we will always remember because of all the beautiful moments that happened on this day. The first looks were most import to Sarah since she needed to see her parents before the ceremony to help calm her just enough before seeing Brett. The father and daughter moments were truly the sweetest and had everyone (including us) in happy tears!

The time finally came to see Brett during the first look. It would be just the two of them together, having a special little moment right before the ceremony. They exchanged vows and held each other in their arms until it was time to get married!

The ceremony was full of funny and happy moments while gathered at the beach with a vast ocean in the background. The reception was decorated with a tropical flare where ever possible with touches of greenery and beach elements. It was such a great day with Sarah and Brett and all their adored friends and family. Congrats to the newlyweds!!!
