Lauren + Jordan Step Into The Limelight | Sirata Beach Resort | St. Petersburg, FL

April 2, 2021

Lauren and Jordan’s love story began at put-put in 2017. It continued when Jordan proposed a few years later, on top of an amazing waterfall in Yosemite. That’s no surprise since their favorite thing about each other is how adventurous they are. Their next adventure was going to be their honeymoon in Hawaii, which is where they got the inspiration for their wedding. We couldn’t have asked for more perfect weather for their ceremony on the beach, surrounded by beautiful tropical colors and flowers. And their flower girl and sweet pup Misty stole the show! We had so much fun with them and their families and friends. Congrats to the new Mr. and Mrs. Mieras!!

Madison + Ashton Step Into The Limelight | Tampa Museum of Art | Tampa, FL

March 26, 2021

A Night At The Museum...

Happy, Energetic, Loved & Enthusiastic

Ashton and Madison met during her Sophomore year at Florida State University in Religion Class. Madison walked in the first day and thought he was cute so she sat down next to him.They started out as friends and would hangout occasionally. After 2 years of being best friends, they started dating their senior year and have been inseparable ever since.

Ashton had the ring for about a month and a half and was trying to plan where he was going to pop the question. He looked at planning a trip for them to take or locations around Tampa but couldn’t find the right opportunity. His brother plays college football in Boston, MA andMadison had never been to Boston before, so they agreed to go up together. Ashton knew

this would be the right time to ask as his family would be up there and they could all share in the moment. He planned to ask Madison in the Boston Public Gardens. His father is an avid photographer so he asked him to come up early and join them around Boston while taking photos of them and the city. Ashton’s dad was was in on the plan and knew that he had planned to ask Madison in the Public Gardens.They walked the city and eventually made it to the there. After walking around for a little while, they made their way back onto the bridge.They were getting ready to leave and Ashton’s dad decided they needed to take a few last photos. It was at this moment, Ashton got down on one knee and surprised Madison. He asked Madison to make him the happiest man by being his forever. Thankfully for him, she said YES!

What they love about each other is the ability they have to balance each other out. Madison pushes Ashton to strive for more and look to the future while Ashton calms Madison down and makes sure she enjoys the present. Ashton loves Madison’s corny sense of humor and she loves how nurturing and caring he is towards her and anyone he meets.

Together they love to travel, try new restaurants, going to wineries and breweries, working out at the gym, hanging out with family, friends and their fur “daughter” Harley.

Madison has always loved Curtis Hixon Park and love how it over looks UT. It is always so pretty around that area at night time, so it was a perfect setting for their Black Tie, very formal and elegant wedding day! They were married on the terrace over looking the water and UT.Their favorite detail of the wedding is their unique exit!They had a Grand Exit with Sparklers and then left on a water taxi boat.They took off down the Hillsborough River to dock over at the Tampa Marriott Water Street.

Madison and Ashton planned their whole wedding together and so enjoyed seeing it all come together in the end. Having Madison’s oldest brother Ryan officiate the ceremony was a true highlight of the day. (And it was a surprise to everyone!!!!). Walking down the aisle and seeing each other for the first time knowing they were about to commit to Forever was a very emotional and powerful moment. Perhaps topped only by the first kiss as husband and wife! As for the reception, being around family and friends and dancing the night away was a blast for Madison and Ashton.

Jessica + Koren Step Into The Limelight | The Ringling | Sarasota, FL

March 18, 2021

Get to know Jessica & Koren…

How/when did you meet each other:

Jessica and Koren met on the first day of Physical Therapy school. They became close friends when they started commuting together to Anatomy Lab. They spent hours studying together, and Koren would save Jess a seat in class and bring her snacks on their breaks. Neither Jess or Koren had intentions to date initially, however after three months of friendship, they grew close and have been together since!

How did he propose:

Koren and Jessica and their close friends were at the 2019 X-Games in Aspen to celebrate Jessica's birthday. While they were skiing, Koren and Jess took the lift to the top of the mountain where Koren got down on one knee and proposed! Koren admits that he was terrified of falling and losing the ring the whole day. Jessica was so excited that she skied down the mountain screaming "I'm engaged!"

What do you love about each other:

Jess: I love that Koren is adventurous, he is caring and generous, he always sees the best in people, he brings a sense of humor into every situation.

Koren: I love Jess’s selflessness, drive, sense of humor, patience.

Interests/hobbies you enjoy doing together:

Skiing, hiking, camping, paddle boarding, trying new foods/beers, traveling, biking and hanging with family and friends

Describe the overall story for your wedding:

We wanted to have a weekend full of activities for our guests to enjoy and spend time with us the whole weekend. We are kicking off the weekend with a catamaran cruise, then rehearsal dinner, then wedding and then Beach BBQ the day after the wedding. We value quality time very much and wanted to celebrate with everybody we love over the whole weekend.

Inspiration for your wedding location and theme:

Koren’s family is from Florida and my grandparents are comfortable with Florida so we decided to do it there. We originally were planning our wedding to be overseas as many of our family lives internationally. We decided to keep it in Florida to make it easier on our local guests. I still wanted to have international influence and for that reason I chose the Ringling as it has a Venetian style.

Their wedding day was magic! The Ringing never ceases to amaze us… and it was the perfect background for Jessica & Koren’s romantic, classic, elegant and simply gorgeous wedding. We LOVED being a part of each part of their day, from First Looks to that stunning sunset on the terrace.

Jessica & Koren, thank you so much for having us! We wish you both ALL the happiness in the world.

Michelle + Garrett Step Into The Limelight | Isla del Sol Yacht & Country Club | St. Petersburg, FL

March 5, 2021

Michelle and Garrett met at Florida State University. Right after Michelle graduated with her Masters degree, they took a vacation to Hilton Head, SC with their new puppy Westcott. Their vacation was planned to last a week and were visiting family in Raleigh NC and friends in Atlanta GA. Sunday night when they arrived in Hilton Head Michelle and Garret went to the beach for a picnic dinner. Right as Garrett was getting ready to propose on the beach, it began to RAIN! Their puppy went crazy, the beach got windy, and they had to scramble to pack up our picnic and run to the car. The entire time Michelle was oblivious but Garrett was panicking about the ring loose in his pocket. Once they got back to the Air B&B they watched one of the final episodes of their favorite show, Game of Thrones, and while were enjoying some chocolate lava cake in PJs, Garrett got down on one knee and popped the question! It was simple, intimate, and perfect.

Michelle loves Garrett’s sense of humor, competitiveness, and his grilling. Garrett loves Michelle’s infectious smile, positive attitude, and her cooking. Together, they enjoy Hiking, Cooking, Music festivals, listening to podcasts/audiobooks, taking care of their puppy, and watch all things marvel, harry potter, and Disney!

Both being from South Florida, they chose to have their beautiful wedding at Isla Del Sol. They loved the relaxing private beach and knew this is a place their guest would enjoy.

Their wedding day was Romanic, beachy, relaxing and elegant. It was a true celebration of their love, family and friends. This gorgeous couple also loved getting their photos taken so it was truly such a great time with them with some of the most epic shots captured! From first look under the gazebo, to the sparkler exit at the end, everything was simply beautiful!

We are so happy for you Michelle and Garrett! Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs!!!
