Connie + Panos Step Into The Limelight | Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church & Innisbrook Golf & Spa Resort | Palm Harbor, FL

Connie and Pano met at the chanter’s stand at Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church. Connie was organizing chanters to chant solo hymns for the Akathist service during Great Lent and was told to talk to Pano so he could sign up to chant. Pano signed up and then didn’t show up! Later that night, Connie found a video posted on Facebook of Pano chanting with her cousin at another church, so she sent him a message to give him a hard time. They secretly dated the first couple of months, all while everyone around them kept telling them they should be together. When people finally did find out they were dating that whole time they were all so shocked!

Pano told Connie they were going to go to dinner for his best friend’s birthday. While Connie was getting ready to go to dinner that evening, Pano and his parents were in her driveway setting up for the surprise of her life. When Connie and Pano walked out the front door, a path of lit candles led them out to the driveway. The driveway was full of red rose petals, candles, and balloons. Pano led Connie into a heart created with rose petals and candles to pop the question. 

Their elegant, classic wedding shimmered with ivory, gold and champagne accent colors and decor.   The priests and chanters were all related to the bride and groom and/or very close friends. Their Koumbaro (best man) is also a priest so he played both roles (so there was a special outfit change during the service). Homemade desserts were made by the grandmothers of the bride and groom.

Considering it is where they met and they share a deep faith together, the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church was the perfect ceremony site! Together, Connie and Panos enjoy taking walks and going to parks. Also, this traditional Greek wedding was very large - with 350 guests! So much fun and Innisbrook Golf & Spa Resort is one of the few venues that can accommodate this large guest count so it was a perfect spot for the reception!

Ashley + Michael Step Into The Limelight | Abercrombie Park | St. Petersburg, FL

Ashley and Michael are the sweetest pair.  We met at Abercrombie Park, a hidden gem in St. Pete, and were blessed by the best weather. With sunset streaming through the trees, Ashley and Michael’s joyful smiles, and beautiful temperatures, this engagement session was such a fun time! These two are tying the knot in Tampa on October 15th, 2022 and we cannot wait to witness + photograph their big day ❤️

Maggie + Jay Step Into The Limelight | Armature Works | Tampa, FL

Five years ago, Maggie met Jay at his apartment through mutual friends. It was Valentines Day so you could say that love was in the air and they have been inseparable ever since. A few years later, Jay proposed to Maggie at the Stratosphere Restaurant in Las Vegas.

Get to know a little more about the couple…

What do you love about each other?
Maggie: Everything!!! I love that he’s always in a good mood and follows through on promises. Dependable and thoughtful and handsome.

Jay: I love her independence and dance parties.

The couple said their “I Dos” at the stunning Armature Works surrounded by friends and family. From the handpicked details of the reception to the handmade arch (props to “handyman” Jay), this wedding was STUNNING. Not only that, their wedding was so fun, we even found ourselves smiling along with the guests! Flower Men? Come on, how fun is that?!

Congrats to the Whites!

Nicole + Brian Jr. Step Into The Limelight | Postcard Inn | St. Petersburg, FL

a little about Nicole & Brian ❤︎

How/when did you meet each other: Seven years ago, it all started with a beer *literally* and a shot of Jamo. He was a happy hour reg at my bar and I can honestly say I remember the first day Sue (the AM bartender) transferred me his tab.Those blue eyes pulled me right in. Not to mention how handsome he is/was. I definitely “chased” him, the girls i worked with at the time knew and would always come tell me when “my boyfriend” was at the outside bar, so naturally I’d have to hop out there and do a lap and say whats up. ;) 

How did he propose: 11/11/2018- we were getting ready to leave for Tampa to see a BUCCs game.We were at our apartment, JUST US. He was being off- I remember questioning 'Why are you being so weird and nice to me right now?!’ And next thing I knew, he was rambling and I could tell he was beyond nervous, so I figured out what was going on.. He knows I NEVER would've liked anything in front of a bunch of people and he surprised me! I'd say he fricken nailed it, and he could NOT have done better at choosing the most perfect ring, that was exactly what I didn't know I always wanted. 

What do you love about each other: He’s my doer, the “rock/rational” one- I keep him/us organized and day to day schedules/bills “locked-in” He truly does make me feel like I am the only woman he sees <3 and is in fact,“My favorite” <3 

Interests/hobbies you enjoy doing together: hanging/drinking with friends and fam.Watching football- EAGLES BABY! Brian is a BUCCS fan- we’ve watched each of our teams win a Superbowl together!! We 

spend A LOT of time hanging/playing with our nephews (Ben&J.J) Watching Criminal Minds and countless other TV shows. 

Pre-Covid- I suppose you could say we enjoyed traveling. B/w weddings, beach parties & bridal AND baby showers. From late 2016-2019 we made MULTIPLE trips to NJ (quite a few in which we drove) Costa Rica, Maryland, Kentucky, and Tampa.We were NON-STOP & always had the next adventure planned. 

Describe the overall story for your wedding:The wait… Has felt wayyyy tooo long- especially with COVID and having to postpone.We kept 11/11 as our date, because it was the date that Brian proposed and once we decided to “roll with it”, we were sticking to it! I also previously looked into the meaning behind 11/11 - 11:11 - and to summarize some of the answers I came across - A perfect moment to start a new chapter in your life. A moment when you need to make huge, life-changing decisions and be fearless. A great time to embrace unique qualities- individuality. JUST DO YOU! You are being sent the energy of wisdom and positivity. 

Inspiration for your wedding location and theme: The first time Brian took me out of my comfort zone, early on in our relationship, he swept me away to St Pete to meet his friends (Best man, Ryan included) he brought me to PCI- 99% of our beach trips over the past 7 years have been to PCI.Typically we’d hang at the beach bar/on the beach and wait to watch the sunset and then head home. So, one day- after we were engaged and sitting at the beach bar at PCI - we had a moment and said ‘Why don’t we just get married here?!’ and have been planning our garden ceremony, beach(ish) wedding ever since. 

Nicole & Brian’s day was absolutely perfection… it was beachy, casual and mostly fun! We loved getting to know these two and their families, we wish Nicole & Brian ALL that is good. Congratulations!

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!!
