Alesha + Mackenzie Step Into The Limelight | Dali Museum + St. Pete Pier | St. Petersburg, FL

So… we met Alesha & Mackenzie at the Dali Museum for their engagement session and ohh my gracious…
This was their very first professional photo session together and we are in L❤︎VE with these two!
The weather was perfect (not too hot, not too cold) and we loved getting to know these two.
Alesha & Mackenzie were both naturals in front of the camera and we just love the way they love!
They are just the sweetest together and enjoyed each moment of the session with ease.

Alesha & Mackenzie are both so ready to tie the knot at the Florida Aquarium in November (and so are we!) We wish Alesha & Mackenzie a very happy wedding planning season. We cannot wait to see you both on the big day.

Danielle + Ryan Step Into The Limelight | BellaCosa Lakeside Lodge & Venue | Lake Wales, FL

Danielle & Ryan met o Tinder in 2017…their first date was to see Star Wars, they both enjoy watching shows, biking, walking their dog Cappi, the gym, cooking, eating and golfing together.
They truly love everything about each other especially their sense of humor, smiles and attitudes.

Danielle & Ryan’s wedding day was nothing short than a fairytale, it was magical in every way ✨
The entire day felt romantic and classic… from the horse and carriage carrying Danielle down the aisle to the gorgeous BellaCosa Lakeside as their background to the flowers that perfectly accented each portion of the day with blush, ivory and pinks… 

We LOVED meeting these two for their engagement session at Hotel Zamora in St. Pete and now being able to witness Danielle & Ryan around family & friends celebrating their love… it was just perfect, it was emotional… it was classically beautiful ✨

We wish Danielle & Ryan many many more beautiful days together! May the force always be with you ✨

Elizabeth + Matthew Step Into The Limelight | Bellwether Beach Resort | St. Pete Beach, FL

Elizabeth and Matt met at a bar in June of 2019. Matthew was working at after she went on a terrible online date. They are very attracted to each other physically, enjoy each other’s sense of humor, share the same faith, and love each other’s personalities. Together they enjoy just hanging out talking/laughing, going out to eat and working puzzles. Matt proposed at the airport, at the gate when Elizabeth got off the plane. She was getting off the plane to come visit is family for the 4th of July.

They had their wedding in St Pete because they just moved across the country and decided to start their lives together here! They were married in a traditional catholic wedding. They selected to celebrate at The Bellwether as their reception venue - an elegant but comfortable and fun location for their friends and family to all be together to celebrate their wedding with them. This beachside and pretty setting was enjoyed by for everyone. The flowers had a beauty influence - all white roses and orchids with tropical greenery. 

Elizabeth got creative with a few DIY projects - a sign at the entrance of the reception ballroom, the table numbers and name cards.

Highlights from the ceremony includeThe flower girls walking down the aisle, Elizabeth’s dad walking her down the aisle, when Elizabeth saw Matt's face as she walked down the aisle, and the moment the priest pronounced them married. The father/daughter dance & son/mom dance and enjoying the reception with their guests was the FAVORITE parts of the day for Elizabeth and Matthew.

Overall, everyone was excited, comfortable, pampered and ready for fun all day long!

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!
