Tiffany + Mike Step Into The Limelight | Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach Resort And Spa | Clearwater, FL

April 8, 2021

Get to know Tiffany & Mike…

How/when did you meet each other: Summer of 2011. My best friend Kailey and myself were still friends with her high school sweetheart Will, and he invited us down to his friends dock party. That "friend" was Mike, so we met at the dock, and we became friends and spent the year sailing and racing together. In 2012 we started dating officially. Since then we had been sailing and skiing and spending as much time together as possible!

How did he propose: We were in Florida for a distance sailboat race, the Everglades Challenge. Due to a last minute injury (cut my ring finger, of all fingers, pretty badly during the boat setup the day before the race), we had to drop out. So we went on to vacation at the finish in Key Largo. After a morning of kayaking, Mike asked me if I wanted to go check out a boat that had just finished the race over on the beach by our hotel. As we walked over, he said, "lets go get some pictures at the end of the dock since we never get any pics" (which is true haha). We walked out to the end of the dock and he asked our friend Todd to take some photos, after a few normal pics, he said "ok one more pose", and he dropped to one knee and asked me to marry him. All our fellow competitors were on the beach, as well as all our family who had come down to watch us race (or so I thought).

What do you love about each other: I love that Mike is so passionate about what he loves and driven to take on new challenges/adventures. He is also someone that can calm me down in an instant because he's so level-headed and such a jokester.

Quote from Mike when I asked about what he loves about me: "Your fiesty-ness and ambition" We collectively love that we have true best friends in each other. No matter what sailing/skiing/life adventure lies before us, we'll embark on it together.

Interests/hobbies you enjoy doing together: Sailing/racing, Skiing, kayaking/paddleboarding

Describe the overall story for your wedding: We want the story for our wedding to be centered around our love of the water and entertaining. This was the idea behind our ceremony on the Sky Terrace overlooking the Gulf. Our cocktail hour on the Belleair terrace was something to tie in our love of the outdoors.

Inspiration for your wedding location and wedding day outfits: We love the Clearwater/St. Pete area, and the idea that you have bodies of water on both sides of the land. We wanted a location where we could take in the beautiful views of the Gulf. We also wanted to get married in a place where we felt like we could be on vacation and Florida has always been a winter escape for us from Ohio where we could sail and enjoy some time in the sun. Wedding day outfits are similarly inspired by us wanting to feel like we are on vacation.

We completely enjoyed being a part of Tiffany & Mike’s wedding day! Their families were so excited to be there to celebrate the tow of them… btw - sweetest family ever!
Their tropical, laid back and elegant day was such a breeze. We loved deign them both enjoy their day and it was all simply perfectly beautiful in emery way. We wish Tiffany & Mike ALL the goodness in the world! Congratulations!

Stephanie + Brian Step Into The Limelight | Hotel Zamora | St. Petersburg, FL

April 8, 2021

Stephanie and Brian have been together for about 8 years. The first time they met, was through a mutual friend on a night when they went out to have a drink. Stephenies mentioned to me that Brian has helped her and has supported her so much through all the ups and downs and together they make life so much better.

During their wedding process and because of the weird times that we have all experienced, this beautiful couple has had to reschedule their wedding date 3 times! But the day was finally here and it was truly such a sweet and beautiful moment for the two. Super close friends and family joined Stephanie and Brian on the Sundeck at Hotel Zamora to say their I do’s. It was such a gorgeous day over all and this made way for all the pretty smiles and laughter during the ceremony. It was the sweetest thing to witness!!

After the ceremony, everyone was invited all the way up to the roof top for a romantic and dreamy rooftop reception. The first dance between Stephanie and Brian was one of our favorite moments. The two seemed to be so at peace in each other’s arms and so happy to be together. Congratulations to the newly weds!!!

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!!

Danielle + Ryan Step Into The Limelight | Hotel Zamora | St. Petersburg, FL

April 2, 2021

Ohh how we just LOVED meeting Danielle & Ryan… I mean look at them!
I just loved how genuine and sweet they both are. They giggled the entire session and we are here for it!
We met at Hotel Zamora for their engagement session and made our way over to the beach for some sunset photos… we laughed, talked about hockey… laughed some more, popped champagne and enjoyed the St. Petersburg sunset together… I am telling you, engagement sessions are the best way to get the “photo jitters” out and get to know your photographer. It’s always a good time and great practice for the wedding day. Oh and just FYI Danielle & Ryan will be getting married at BellaCosa Lakeside Lodge & Venue (take a peek at this gorgeous venue y’all) and we cannot wait for it all… the venue, the details, the families, the moments… it will be a beautiful day!

Cheers to Danielle & Ryan!

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.
