Sarah + John Step Into The Limelight | The Resort at Longboat Key Club | Sarasota, FL

Sarah & John met via Elite Singles and started talking mid May of 2020… then scheduled their first date for June 6th, 2020 at Capital Grille in Tampa, FL. They fell quickly for one another ❤︎

They enjoy spending time with the kids, going out on the boat, jet skis, horseback riding, traveling and relaxing together. They basically do everything together and love it! Even grocery shopping every Sunday…

Sarah & John’s wedding day was romantic & intimate… classy & elegant with all white flowers orchids, roses, hydrangeas lots of candles. LOVE was all around and we LOVED being  a pat of such a sweet day for Sarah & John. 

Congratulations to an amazing couple… we wish you both ALL this is good! Cheers!

Sarah + Brett Step Into The Limelight | Sandpearl Resort | Clearwater Beach, FL

You know those couples that everyone knows that they are made for each other EXCEPT the actual couple? Well, meet Brett and Sarah. They met the first year staff training at their first job out of college. After a few work trips, runs in Boston Commons, tours of the Freedom Trail, Cannoli’s at Mikes Pastry and exploring spooky caves, their friends started to question if this truly was just a friendship. Sarah and Brett insisted it was just that but, well…here we are. 

Late 2016, Brett realized that he actually wanted more than a friendship with Sarah. So, he started to create ways to hangout with Sarah more one-on-one. After a couple yoga dates, boating days and a trip to the Dali Museum–Sarah started to get the hint. On New Year of 2017, Sarah and Brett finally made it official. Exactly four years later, Brett got down on one knee and asked Sarah to marry him. 

The couple tied the knot at the beautiful Sandpearl Resort surrounded by friends and family. We loved being a part of it!

Congrats Sarah and Brett!

Kayla + Shane Step Into The Limelight | Davis Islands Garden Club | Tampa, FL

Merry. Loved. Cheerful!

Kayla and Shane met in class at the University of Florida in 2014. Together they enjoy trying new restaurants/new foods, hiking with their dog and watching true crime documentaries. Shane loves Kayla’s sense of humor and her incredible ambition. She loves how he is funny, hard-working, and understanding. Shane proposed on a hike near Leigh Lake in the Grand Tetons National Park. 

They had a beautiful ceremony in a romantic garden outdoor setting, followed by fun night dancing and mingling with they closest friends and family. The pinnacle of the night was when the bride and groom made their getaway from the venue in a water taxi!

Kayla and Shane had some super cool details! Kayla made all of the bouquets out of wooden flowers so they are more sustainable and can be kept forever! The overhead string lights between the trees added to the elegant ambience of the evening. And their centerpieces will be interactive!

Kelly + Ray Step Into The Limelight | Isla Del Sol Yacht & Country Club | St. Petersburg, FL

Men, take notes. ✍️ Ask ✍️ her ✍️ to ✍️ bring ✍️ her ✍️dog.

Kelly and Ray went on their first day five years ago at The Mill Restaurant in Downtown St. Pete. They instantly bonded over their shared love for Game of Thrones and dogs. Ray insisted that Kelly bring along Bailey on their third date. After pulling their outdoor table towards the street because she saw another dog, ruining Ray’s shorts with her muddy paws and more mischievous things–Kelly thought Bailey had doomed a love interest. Instead, Ray laughed the entire thing off, gave Bailey a pat on the head and got new shorts. Kelly knew then that this was something special. 

Marriage is about teamwork and this couple makes the perfect team. Kelly is the organized one who keeps everything on track while Ray makes sure that they have fun! They love to travel, go to theme parks, take walks with Bailey and go on long bike rides. 

After having to reschedule their wedding date, Kelly and Ray eloped during the pandemic in beautiful North Carolina. Their wedding day was full of happiness, family and friends. Even Bailey made an appearance during the ceremony. They said their I Do’s at the beautiful Isla Del Sol. They even provided TVs for their guest so they could watch their rival college football games (Kelly is a Gator and Ray is a Buckeye fan!) We loved being a part of this couple’s story! Congrats to your happily ever after!

Rachel + Samuel Step Into The Limelight | Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach Resort And Spa | Clearwater Beach, FL

You know the saying “if it is meant to be, it will happen”? A few years ago, Sam met this girl named Rachel at a work beach party. They spent the entire day together but unfortunately, it didn’t go anywhere. However, those closest to them claim to just “know” a match had been made. During 2020, Sam moved into the apartment next to Rachel and they have been inseparable ever since.

Rachel and Sam love spending time outside in the sunshine, learning to cook, catching up on their favorite Netflix shows and spending quality time with their loved ones.

The couple said their “I Dos” at the beautiful Hyatt Clearwater. Even though the rain decided to make a visit, nothing could put a damper on this couple’s day. Surrounded by love and joy from their closest family and friends, Sam and Rachel consistently had a smile on their face. We loved being a part of their day! Congrats to the Youngermans!
