Brielle + Nick Step Into the Limelight | Casa Marina | Key West, FL

Best Elegant Beach Wedding Ever!

Nick worked at Apple and saw Brielle from across the store. He approached her and began a conversation which led to him asking for her to follow him on Twitter.  A few months later, Brielle’s iPhone had an issue and in a panic, she messaged Nick on twitter saying “Hey Apple guy”… The rest is history!

Together they spent the day site seeing and bar hopping around Key West on a little Vespa! Then they had dinner at Louie's Backyard before heading to Fort Zachary Taylor to watch the sunset, that's when Nick popped the question! 

They both enjoy Food!!! Books, Movies, Music, TV shows, Hiking, Traveling, WINE! They have the amazing ability to make each other LAUGH! Their communication and teamwork that they incorporate is the foundation to their relationship and allows them to overcome any obstacle. Their understanding of each other and passion and support for their dreams and goals is beautiful to witness! 

Nick and Brielle were the first destination wedding in both of their families which pays tribute to their love of travel and the beach. The goal of the overall vibe of their wedding was an elegant island vibe. Everyone had so much fun and danced the night away while capturing the essence of Key West! Casa Marina is a beautiful blend of elegance, history, and tropical vibes. Outfits were more bohemian, laid back oceanic.

Favorite moments of their special day included The First Look, the first dance, the "I Dos", cake cutting, sunset! Some favorite details were Brielle wearing her mom's and grandma's engagement ring, Brielle's Cascading Bouquet, custom drinks, the scenery and the wedding dress. Brielle also gave her bridesmaid's ankle bracelets as a gift that they will all wore that day. Nick's best man had a pineapple as his Boutonnière! 

Congratulations to this beautiful couple!

Jezen + Reid Step Into The Limelight | Sandpearl Resort | Clearwater, FL

Jezen & Reid…

How did he propose:: He took me to take "photos" in Temecula. When we arrived, we went horseback riding at the Carter Estates. At the end of the ride, they took us to the look-out point, where he proposed. It was private with champagne, strawberries and a view. It was perfect. 

What do you love about each other:: We both knew on our first date that we were going to be our forever persons. Reid is a romantic and always puts us first. I have always felt like I was the most important thing to him. He said that he watched me for years before finding the right time to pursue me. He said my laugh is what caught his attention and knew that he wanted to get to know me. 

Interests/hobbies you enjoy doing together:: Going wine tasting in Temecula, working out and traveling. We love going out on dates with each other and we go out of town once a month to make sure we make time for ourselves. 

Describe the overall story for your wedding:: He is from Florida and really wanted his toes in the sand. Sunset was also the most important thing to him. We wanted it to be fun and informal in certain instances. I really wanted my family there so we are flying my whole family from California. So we made it a vacation, reunion and wedding, so that it was an experience to remember.

We just loved celebrating these two! We loved witnessing their love for each other and their families.
Cheers to an amazing couple, we wish you both ALL that is beautiful and good ❤︎

Cherine + Dan Step Into The Limelight | Picnic Island Beach | Tampa, FL

With just a simple picnic basket and white blanket, along with a bottle of champagne we headed to Picnic Island with Cherine and Dan for their engagement session! After rescheduling twice due to Florida summer thunder storms, we were so excited to finally meet and work on this session together!

Cherine is from South Florida and Dan is a Tampa native. When Cherine moved to Tampa, she saw an ad for a social bowling league and signed up to meet some new friends! Their teams were switched at the last moment and destiny fated Cherine and Dan to meet in June of 2019! They were friends for six months before dating each other. Their first date was in January of 2020 at Jurassic Word Alive in the Amelie Arena. 🦖 The pandemic hit a couple of months late, and the two became inseparable! 

Together they enjoy walking in the park on the river, theme parks, Busch Gardens, Sea World, Universal and binging on TV shows. Picnic Island has a number of cool areas for photos, including a few beaches, a small boardwalk and a wooded area. Sooooo perfect given their "light Jurassic Park” theme they will have for their wedding day!🦕

Congratulations Cherine and Dan! We cannot wait to be a part of your special day in March at The Florida Aquarium!

Therese + Alain Step Into The Limelight | CL Space | Tampa, FL

 

Therese and Alain met in Ybor at a club 16 years ago. They were best friends throughout the years before they started dating which let them build a strong foundation as friends. Alain proposed at the Enchant Christmas light display in St. Petersburg in front of a huge Christmas lit wedding ring with their best friends and siblings there to witness this beautiful moment.

Alain mentions that he loves her caring personality, how great she is with his kids, her passion for teaching, and her sense of humor. Therese loves how loyal he is to the people around him, the great father he is, how she can always count on him for everything, his sense of humor, and how important he makes her feel. Together, they both love spending time with family and friends, watching their favorite tv shows, boating, and most recently, shopping for their new home.

The wedding day was nothing less than spectacular. The two were very excited to see each other and it was the sweetest thing to witness while photographing them during getting ready. The CL Space was the venue that both would say their vows to each other and it was decorated so beautifully. Rustic wooden chairs, a wooden arch with floral garlands and Einstein hanging lights became the backdrop to this wonderful moment. Friends and family all gathered under one roof to celebrate this beautiful couple. Congratulations to the newlyweds!!!

Katie & Daniel Step Into The Limelight | Marie Selby Botanical Gardens | Sarasota, FL

Katie met Danny in NYC six years ago and fell in love right away. Three years ago, Danny proposed to Katie on Pier 62 right near the water. Katie said “yes!” and they celebrated by seeing Sam Smith in Brooklyn.

They love how they each balance each other and how they motivate each other to be better. Katie and Danny enjoy traveling, going to museums, watching movies and attending concerts/musicals/plays. They also have recently welcomed a beautiful baby girl, Amelia, who is very well loved. 

After having to push back the wedding a year due to the pandemic, Katie and Danny were married at the beautiful Marie Selby Garden, surrounded by friends and family. It was a beautiful day and we loved being a part of it!
