Karley + Chad Step Into The Limelight | The Ringling | Sarasota, FL

Karley & Chad have known each other since High School… but their LOVE story doesn’t begin until after college when they saw each other at a friend’s lake home.

Karley & Chad are true best friends, their friendship has carried their love and we loved being able to witness this love & friendship on their wedding day… Karley says “We have become this one person which is really cool. We are both strong individuals who rely on each other to keep going”.

Both Karley & Chad enjoy going to concerts, watching movies together, attending sporting events and traveling together.

Their wedding day was nothing short than pure glamour ✨ it was a modern twist on vintage art… the white orchids and touches of gold gave the overall decor a classic and elegant beauty. Karley & Chad incorporated a string quartet during the ceremony making it all feel majestic. Their guests danced the night away with the sounds of The New Royals, the band played hit after hit!

Karley & Chad made sure to enjoy each moment of their wedding day with their close friends and families, with lots of hugs, laughter and dancing. What a night to remember, such beauty… so much LOVE. 

We wish Karley & Chad much success in everything they do! Cheers to an amazing couple ❤︎

Rachel + Jason Step Into The Limelight | The Dali Museum | St. Petersburg, FL

What a special day!! Rachel and Jason came all the way from New York for their big day. They were truly just so excited to get to marry each other and celebrate with their families, they said they weren’t so caught up in the details. But all the details were amazing! The chocolate mustaches, the Dali clock wax seal, and the ice cream bar were just a few of my favorites to name a few. They planned such a beautiful day to enjoy and they really did! They got some private time in the garden, signed their Ketubah surrounded by their families, and had the coolest ceremony on the staircase of the Dali Museum. The reception flowed out into the garden and was such a blast! From the first song everyone was out up out of their seats! We got to be a part of the Hora too and we loved getting to see Rachel and Jason SO happy. When they first met Jason talked about their wedding and Rachel thought he was crazy! But when you know you know ❤ Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Fitter, we wish you all the best!!

Sara + JD Step Into The Limelight | The Dewey | ST. PETE BEACH, FL

Sara and JD met very randomly in downtown St. Pete on December 22nd - but it was obviously fate! Sara’s friend struck up a conversation with JD and immediately said, you must meet my friend (me). They've been inseparable ever since. These two just get along and “get” each other! Their love for each other is easy!

JD proposed near the place where they met, on their 2-year dating anniversary. He had a sign company create yard signs leading up to popping the question. Super sweet and creative! 

Together they are super active - always on the go.The love traveling everywhere - so. many. trips. Outdoor activities - boating, paddle boarding, scootering, biking, walking. They are rarely home and even rarely turn on a tv. 

Their first date was on Pass-a-Grille Beach, so it was a perfect location to select for their beach ceremony! The color palette was simple - just lots of natural greenery and whites. After the reception at the adorable Dewey, everyone was thinking “WOW, that was fun!”

Amelia + Mike Step Into The Limelight | Yacht Starship | Tampa, FL

This dream of a wedding started out with a beautiful cruise out the Tampa Bay, where these two said “I Do” and then the party started! If I could describe this day with one word, it would be FUN! Mike and Amelia have a contagious love for life that is felt by everyone around them. Mike’s best man gave a fantastic toast to the couple, and Amanda (Amelia’s daughter and Maid of Honor) was Amelia’s rock throughout the day. Whatever nerves may have been present at the start of the day were gone as soon as Mike laid eyes on Amelia in her dress for the first time as she came down the aisle. You could see in his eyes the love and admiration he has for his new wife.

They had a beautiful sunset out on the open water, kept things lively on the dance floor, and shared many moments with their loved ones and many friends that came aboard to share their day with them. There were laughs, kisses, and many smiles to be had by all in attendance. 

I want to give a special thank you to Mike and Amelia for giving me the opportunity to be a part of your special day. Seeing the love you have for each other is an inspiration to us all!
