Neli + Todd Step Into The Limelight | Powel Crosley Estate | Sarasota, FL

Neli & Todd… the sweetest people you’ll meet! Get to know them…

How/when did you meet each other:  We met the night of Halloween 2018 in San Francisco, CA. Our first date took place at an elegant restaurant in the SOMA district, followed by jazz and cocktails at the iconic Black Cat and dancing the night away at the cutting-edge night club Audio. What a first date that was!! It was love at first sight and it felt like we’ve known each other forever.

How did he propose: We moved in together during lockdown in 2020. We had our homemade elegant dinners followed by dancing and fun. Until one night, both dressed up as if going out but really staying home, Todd proposed and Neli said Yes!!! 

Interests/hobbies you enjoy doing together: Our love for music was the first thing that we discovered we had in common. Other shared passions of ours are yoga and travel. So we decided to go to a yoga retreat in Bali. It was ambiguous and adventurous to see if we can travel well together to such a far destination. Sure we did and other fun destinations followed. Including Canada and Bulgaria, the best of all!

Neli & Todd’s wedding day was simply magical, the Powel Crosley Estate was the perfect backdrop for their Bulgarian festivities, we loved learning about all the traditions together and celebrating such an amazing couple. 

We wish Neli & Todd (and soon their little bundle of joy) A life full of beautiful adventures and lots of love!

Lauren + Matthew Step Into The Limelight | HYATT REGENCY CLEARWATER BEACH RESORT AND SPA | CLEARWATER, FL

Classically classic! 💛

Here’s a little about the gorgeous Lauren & Matthew…
How/when did you meet each other: November of 2017 we both happened to be in Key West for separate Bachelor/Bachelorette parties. We were at the right place at the right time when our friends introduced us as the single ones.

How did he propose: We were in Tampa visiting friends and after lunch went to see our friends new apartment and their rooftop view. Of course we all got our rooftop pictures and Matt actually asked me if I wanted to take a picture (I should have known something was up). I honestly thought he was joking with me since all of my friends were there and he loves to joke, but come to find out there was a ring box in his hand. Of course mixed in with laughs was a YES!

What do you love about each other: We balance each other out really well. Both caring and thoughtful. We enjoy doing life together.

Interests/hobbies you enjoy doing together: We enjoy traveling together, golfing, walking the dog, outdoor activities and anything on the water.

Lauren & Matthew’s wedding day was so laid back and filled with many many beautiful and thoughtful moments… exactly what we all needed! The classic white, black and gold made it all so easy and elegant… and can we talk about how GORGEOUS these two are together? We so loved being a part of their special.

We wish Lauren & Matthew ALL that is good! Enjoy married life together 🥰

Alexsandra + Mauricio Step Into The Limelight | Esplanade Golf and Country Club | Lakewood Ranch, FL

¡Familia por Siempre!

We so loved meeting these two souls… their wedding day was full of love, laughter and most importantly familia! We were able to witness their love for one another and the joy their families bring to Alexsandra & Mauricio. Their wedding day was a true ¡fiesta! with sooo much dancing and good music.  

Alexsandra & Mauricio met each other while working together at Marshall’s and from then on… they have loved laughing together and have enjoyed their connection with their families. Mauricio loves how hard working Alexsandra is and Alexsandra loves that Mauricio can cook! (can I get an amen!) They enjoy watching movies together, going to Disney, trying new restaurants, spoiling their dog Lil and traveling.

They incorporated Mauricio’s roots by performing a bilingual Ceremony in English & Spanish and we cannot forget “La Hora Loca”during their reception! (SO.MUCH.FUN!).

Alexsandra & Mauricio love effortlessly and we LOVE that about them, we wish them so much MORE amor and amazing adventures together.

¡Felicidades a la linda pareja!

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 💍
