Maryann + Matt Step Into The Limelight | Casa De La Geiger | Odessa, FL

Comfortable, loved, free, excited! 

Maryann and Matt are best friends, they make each other laugh and they  support each other.  They love hunting, traveling and playing golf together. Together they have three beautiful children. They originally met at a party in 2002ish, and Mat proposed on Christmas morning in 2008.  

They were married in a quick ceremony in a judge’s chambers on Valentines day several 11 years ago - so they stuck with black, wine, and blush pink colors for their big wedding celebration! Everything was classy rustic chic. The best parts of the day included the exchange of vows, dancing with each there and their parents and the speeches. 

Their whole wedding was unique. They did not stick to traditional styles and truly made their day unique to them. They even custom-crafted and built their own tables and arch!

Diane + Cruise Step Into The Limelight | The Ringling + Waterlefe Golf & River Club | Sarasota, FL

What a beautiful day for the Eastman’s! We started at the incredible Ringling Museum for a ceremony in the garden. It was the perfect location since Diane is an artist! Her and Cruise shared the sweetest words once they met under their floral arch. It was so beautiful to witness their love for each other and their excitement to exchange their vows. Cruise could not take his eyes off of Diane! We then headed to cocktail hour and reception at the Waterlefe Golf & River Club.  The view was amazing! We were able to see the incredible sunset while the couples loved ones toasted to them. Diane and Cruise had such a nicely choreographed first dance, and they further surprised their guests with Mother/Son and Daughter/Father-In-Law choreographed dances too! After dinner Jonathan Cortez with Ace in the Hole Entertainment got the party started with live music, and everyone danced the night away. The flower girls, the groom’s sweet nieces, were the absolute cutest and did not leave the dance floor all night. The light up LED sticks made the party even better! When guests needed a break, they headed over to the DELICIOUS French fry bar.  The Eastman’s sure know how to part! Congrats to the newlyweds 💍

Amber + Tyler Step Into The Limelight | St. Raphael’s Catholic Church + The Vinoy Renaissance St. Petersburg Resort & Golf Club | St. Petersburg, FL

Amber and Tyler had the most amazing day ever! They got married at the beautiful St. Raphael Catholic Church in St. Pete, and I don’t think we’ve ever seen such emotion! Both the bride and groom totally broke down in tears as they saw each other and met at the altar. Truly one of the sweetest moments ever. Their ceremony was followed by cocktail and reception at the Vinoy. Boy was it cold but this couple made the best of it! They got to snuggle up nice and close so we could capture these amazing photos for them. After they braved the weather it was time to party! It was so evident how much everyone loved and cared about the couple when all 3 people toasting got choked up. Their sweet words just enforced what we already knew: that Amber and Tyler were made for each other. From then on the couple didn’t leave the dance floor for the rest of the night, dancing and celebrating with their loved once! It was one of the most fun crowds we’ve seen. We are so glad you guys found each other and know you have the most incredible future ahead of you! Congratulations to the newlyweds ❤️

Sophia + Anthony Step Into The Limelight | Museum of Fine Arts St. Pete | St. Petersburg, FL

Sophia & Anthony’s ♥️ story…

How/when did you meet each other: We met each other at work (oops haha). It was both our first jobs out of college and Anthony noticed Sophia right away. 

How did he propose: Our first vacation together was in Chicago. About 2 years later, we back to Chicago to visit my sister who is living there at the time. I thought it was just a quick weekend to see her, but little did I know he had flown in my parents AND his family, and surprised me on the rooftop of a glamorous hotel downtown. I was soo shocked! We spent the rest of the weekend celebrating all together. It was the best day of my life (so far ;) ). 

What do you love about each other: Sophia loves how fun-loving and ambitious Anthony is. He is the hardest worker I have ever met. He is the positive one out of the two of us and always brings the sunshine. 

Anthony loves Sophia's brain most of all; she is intelligent and quick-witted and always keeps him on his toes.

Interests/hobbies you enjoy doing together: We can have fun doing just about anything as long as we're together! But we are big restaurant-goers and love meeting friends for drinks. Concerts are a common occurrence for us too. We have been traveling a ton recently, but also love a quiet night at home with our puppy watching a movie. We are BIG football fans! 

Sophia & Anthony’s was classy, elegant and so much fun! We loved being able to witness Sophia & Anthony surrounded by their families, so beautiful to see families celebrating together nowadays… we loved that they chose Museum of Fine Arts St. Pete, it showcased so much culture and class, the entire day felt timeless.

We wish Sophia & Anthony many many more magical days together ✨

Alyssa + Justin Step Into The Limelight | St. Paul Catholic Church + Tampa River Center | Tampa, FL

Where to begin with Alyssa and Justin!! They were seriously one of the sweetest couples ever, and it was evident Justin would do anything to make Alyssa happy. For his proposal he had hired a photographer and had planned to take Alyssa to one of the peaks of the Blue Ridge Mountains to see the sunrise, but when they got there the main entrance was closed! Justin somehow found another way up the mountain and was able to get in touch with the photographer despite the bad service, resulting in the most PERFECT proposal!That’s no surprise because their entire wedding day was perfect too. They had their ceremony at St. Paul’s Catholic Church, and even had special sponsors help them perform a beautiful Philippine wedding tradition.  Then they  made their way downtown to their reception at the amazing Tampa River Center.  There they had the sweetest choreographed dance that literally felt like it came out of a Disney movie! They continued dancing the night away to the Matt Winter Band to end their night. I truly don’t think they stopped smiling at each other the whole day! Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Scheib! I know if you guys continue looking at each other the way you did on your wedding day,  you will have endless days of love ahead ❤️
