Amanda + Christopher Step Into The Limelight | Zota Beach Resort | Longboat Key, FL

We had the amazing opportunity to be a part of Amanda and Chris’ wedding held at the gorgeous Zota Beach Resort in Longboat Key FL. First look was our absolute favorite part of the day - the moment Chris saw his now wife for the first time of the day was simply priceless! Between laughter and a couple happy tears, you could tell just how much they both cared for each other and how much Chris comforted Amanda. A little rain would not stop this couple from getting married and we took the rain as a sign of many blessings coming down from above! During our chance to chat with Amanda, she explained to us how Chris proposed to her by placing the ring on her new sphinx kitten’s collar which was just the perfect way to ask her to marry him! The couple both love spending time with each other, going out to movies, shopping, playing video games together and going out to dinner. They are comfortable with each other and knew right from the start that they wanted to spend the rest of their life together.

Congrats to the newlyweds!!!

Jenny + Shane Step Into The Limelight | Yacht StarShip Cruises & Events | Tampa, FL

…We have found the one for whom our soul loves…

Jenny and Shane’s wedding day was a special, yet relaxed, celebration of their commitment to one another. They have been together five years, engaged for two of those years and really just wanted the confirmation of their commitment to be something simple in a beautiful place surrounded by the most important people in our lives. Their wedding day was stay true to the story of them - a little bit crazy, a little bit loud, and a whole lot of love.  As much as the day was beautiful and wonderful, Jenny and Shane are most looking forward to continuing their life together as husband and wife.

They met in high over school 20 years ago. They reconnected on Facebook in 2015 and started dating January 2016.  At  Thanksgiving 2018 dinner Shane proposed with all of the kids in attendance.  Jenny and Shane compliment each other, they are best friends, they call each other out on our stuff and they are supportive of each other! They are both foodies, and like trying new restaurants. They like to travel and experience new things together.  They enjoy the outdoors, kayaking, fishing, camping, hunting, hiking/walking. They just enjoy hanging out and being together. They love spending time with our kids and grandkids and mutual friends, bowling and go-cart racing, mini golf, amusement parks, etc. They say they are either really lazy together or really adventurous :) 

Their first vacation as a couple and family was to Clearwater Beach, best time ever, and it just felt fitting to go back to the place they really bonded as a family at first to say their vows. What started as a simple plan for them to marry on the beach evolved in to something quite a bit more elaborate. Getting married on the Yacht Starship really changed the story of the wedding, and inspired their color choices. Jenny’s ivory dress was flowing and elegant and she wanted something similar for my daughters. The dusty rose color is so pretty and looked stunning on them against the backdrop of the sea. Of course the blue suits for the guys were perfect to set sail sat sea, so really things just all started to fall into place after they booked their venue. They loved the idea of getting married at sea, as no one they know has ever done that!

Some of the most special moments include Jenny getting ready with her girls, and her son walking her down the aisle to give away to Shane. Celebrating with life long friends, and creating memories with the people that mean the most to her remaining in this world’s an incredible joy to capture. Holding hands as husband and wife, enjoying good food and wine, seeing his face when he first saw her ready to go, getting married at sea by a Captain, saying their vows and kissing for the first time as man and wife, watching the sunset while at sea.….all magical moments!

Laurie + Mike Step Into The Limelight | The Florida Aquarium | Tampa. FL

Laurie and Mike got married at one of my personal favorite locations,The Florida Aquarium. After being in lockdown and not seeing their friends and family for over a year, it finally all came together and the opportunity to have everyone be together was here and was such an excitement for this couple. Laurie was a marine biology major in collage and loves animals, so the Florida Aquarium was the perfect place to have their wedding.From getting ready, the first kiss after the I-do’s and the first dance together, Laurie and Mike had smiles from cheek to cheek and having the best time of their life together. It was apparent that these two were meant for each other and we were more than happy to be present to capture this special day with them. Congratulations Laurie and Mike!!!

Rachel + Robert Step Into The Limelight | Opal Sands Resort | Clearwater, FL

Rachel and Robert came all the way from Cincinnati for a Florida beach wedding, and it was SO worth it! The day was perfect from beginning to end. They are truly such a sweet couple, which was evident by all the family and friends that made this trip to celebrate their love. Getting ready for the big day was just as fun as the party itself! It was filled with the most thoughtful gifts (Robby got Rachel a vinyl of their first dance song ❤️) and happy tears (Rachel’s first look with her bridesmaids and dad) The day got even sweeter when the couple had their first look and their sweet pup Charlotte joined them! They then had the most beautiful ceremony overlooking the water with Robby’s grandfather officiating. We didn’t think it could get better but then Charlotte joined her parents for their first dance!! It was really such a magical day. We are so glad we got to be a part of giving Rachel and Robby their perfect beach wedding. Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Sunderman!!
