Lisa + Garrett Step Into The Limelight | The Vinoy® Renaissance Resort & Golf Club | St. Petersburg, FL

Classic, elegant, timeless, and a touch of vintage!

Lisa grew up locally in St Pete, but moved to New York six years ago. Lisa and Garrett met each other on June 18, 2018 in NYC at a bar on a cold rainy weekday night. Garrett thought that Lisa was out of his league, which is probably still true, but was pleasantly surprised when Lisa said yes to a second date. For their second date they spent the afternoon in Central Park, including at Tavern on the Green and the Plaza Hotel, before going to one of Lisa’s favorite Upper East Side bars. 

Garrett proposed in the middle of COVID during quarantine (4/28/2020) on her birthday in the outside space (a small garden) of their NYC apartment.  Garrett and Lisa were hosting Lisa’s hometown friend and bridesmaid, a traveling nurse, at their apartment for several months while she worked in the city. Garrett took Lisa on a long walk through Union Square while Lisa’s friend decorated the garden in our backyard. After they walked into the apartment complex, red rose pedals led to the blooming cherry blossom tree outside where Garrett proposed – on Lisa’s 30th birthday.

Together they love to travel and explore cool neighborhoods in remote locations. Some of their favorites include: Boca Grande, FL; Vail, CO; and Washington, D.C. In Colorado, they love to spend time outside – in the summer hiking near the Snake River in Summit County and in the winter on the slopes with their Epic Passes. They also love exploring restaurants in the East Village in NYC. 

The historic Vinoy in downtown St Pete set the stage perfectly for their classic, elegant, timeless wedding day, with touch a vintage accents. They were really excited about the venue and the opportunity to be with their friends and family in a variety of locations at the Vinoy – the tea garden, the mezzanine, and the ballroom. 

The most memorable moments of the wedding day included Travis officiating, Paul’s speech, and dancing with guests. At the end of the evening everyone was tired but so happy from hard partying! Their wedding was a family- and friends-oriented affair where they celebrated both the beginning of our lives together as well as the opportunity to see many people for the first time after more than a year of COVID.

Italian Club Step Into The Limelight | Paolo Longo Award Reception | Tampa, FL

We got to photograph the Italian Club of Tampa’s Paolo Longo Award Reception, and it was honor to be part of such a great night! The honorees of the award along with their families and friends were all there to celebrate, as well as many of the members of the Club. We loved getting to hear the amazing history of the club, and the great speeches from the recipients. The award ceremony was followed by an amazing dinner catered by Olympia Catering, and DeLeon Entertainment had everyone on their feet dancing the night away! Congratulations to the recipients of the prestigious award, and congratulations to another year of great things for the Italian Club!

Crystal + Jason Step Into The Limelight | Sandpearl Resort | Clearwater, FL

Crystal & Jason met at a friends party. Camden (Crystal’s son) started to play with Jason and one thing led to a next and the rest is a beautiful history!
Jason loves Crystal’s smile and says “I do my best to have every interaction end with a laugh and a smile. She’s the most caring and loving person I’ve ever met and it shows right through her smile.” Crystal says, “What I love about Jason is how selflessly he loves and how genuine he is. He will do anything for anyone and his family.”

We just LOVED how family was intentionally the center of Crystal & Jason’s entire wedding day! Amazing fact… their wedding date was also Crystal’s grandparents 70th anniversary date! How absolutely amazing is that? Crystal & Jason chose to have their daughter Chloe walk down the aisle with the Maid of Honor (such a special moment) and Camden walked his mom down the aisle… which OMG! Nothing cuter than that! They also made a point to do a Sand Ceremony during their wedding.

We witnessed such sweet moments through the day, we LOVED their sunset session and it was just such a laid back and enjoyable moment, it was pure beauty! The Clearwater Beach sunset will forever have our hearts ❤︎ We wish Crystal & Jason a lifetime of beautiful moments with each other and their cuties Camden & Chloe!

Devin + Michael Step Into The Limelight | Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach Resort And Spa | Clearwater Beach, FL

After 2 times postponing, this must have been 3 times the charm. It was the most perfect day!! Devin and Mike’s story began in 2014, where they met in law school. A few years later Mike proposed at a beautiful beach in Ireland. Since their original wedding was set for May 2020, they were so excited to finally get to exchange vows in front of their loved ones. They had a beautiful rooftop ceremony, followed by an even more beautiful sunset! As many people said throughout the night, Devin and Mike compliment each other perfectly, and it’s like they’ve been a part of each other’s families for years. We were so happy to be a part of such an anticipated day and it did not disappoint! The couple had a great time catching up with all their guests and finally getting to party with them. Truly an amazing night! We couldn’t be happier for Devin and Mike, and we know they have such an amazing future ahead of them 💖 Cheers to the newlyweds!
