Jenna + Samuel Step Into The Limelight | Rusty Pelican | Tampa, FL

This day was a long time coming, and boy was it worth it!! Jenna and Sam were originally supposed to have their wedding on January 1, 2021. The unfortunately had to postpone the big celebration but they still were able to have a beautiful backyard ceremony with their closest loved ones! Though they were already married for almost a year there was still so much excitement that they could finally celebrate as planned. And they had a fun addition since they got a puppy a few months following their ceremony, they were able to include her for part of their day which was the sweetest! The reception took place at the beautiful Rusty Pelican where the couple had the best time dancing the night away. There was even a surprise performance! Jenna and her mom watched Mama Mia growing up and Jenna always said she wanted her mom to perform for wedding like in the movie. So her mom did just that, enlisting her 2 best friends for help. Everyone absolutely loved it! It was a joy to see everyone finally getting to celebrate the Belcastro’s and we are so glad we were a part of it. Officially one year of marriage down, many more to go. Congrats Jenna and Sam!!

Tamiko + David Step Into The Limelight | Lido Beach Resort | Sarasota, FL

OMG! How we LOVE these two!

Their entire day was so emotional and absolutely perfect.

Tamiko & David met on Tinder back in 2016… and they are writing a beautiful love story together.

They love their ability to be on the same team and love each other unconditionally ❤︎

Tamiko & David enjoy going out to eat, movies, going to the beach, spending time together.

Their wedding day truly was an intimate gathering of family and friends, a beautiful beach ceremony, simple but chic followed by a joyous celebration of music food and dancing.

We love how they incorporated a Filipino tradition into the ceremony with the Chord Ceremony (wedding lasso) and during their reception they danced the night away with Caribbean music which was just what their guests needed. 

We truly wish ALL the best for Tamiko & David and hope for many more dance parties with theist loved in their future (these people can dance!). So much fun!

Cheers to an amazing couple.

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!
