Kadie + Rodney Step Into The Limelight | SALE E PEPE | Marco Island, FL

Get to know Kadie & Rodney…

Rodney and Kadie met in June of 2016. Rodney is a builder and he contacted Kadie about representing him with his sales because she is a Realtor. They met the first time to discuss business, but Rodney later asked Kadie out on a lunch date. They been together ever since and she also took the job!
Rodney proposed on the back terrace by a fire pit. They had a couple close friends there, listening to a playlist that he made for Kadie. It was after a wonderful day of boating and hanging with friends on the river.
Rodney and Kadie are both are very honest, loyal people that cherish our time together. They both love their families and their commitment to each other, they always are mindful of their children and their feelings. Because they are a blended family, they both cherish their time together and with each others kids, but they make sure to allow time one on one with their own children, so nobody feels left out.
They have similar interests, traveling, family time, boating, spending time together and with friends. Rodney loves sports and Kadie enjoys watching him play them. They both love dogs, really all animals, they currently have 5 dogs together.
Their wedding day was classy and fun! Rodney and Kadie truly enjoyed their day, along with their guests and {mostly} on the dance floor. The decor was a classic theme with ivory and blue for their main colors, not over doing it with flowers, it was very tasteful with gold and ivory accents.
It was such a gorgeous day… Marco Island never disappoints!
We wish Kadie & Rodney a beautiful life together, filled with many many unforgettable moments. Cheers to a beautiful couple!

Erica + Lionel Step Into The Limelight | Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach Resort And Spa | Clearwater, FL

We all want to know…

How did he propose? It was the Fourth of July 2021 and we had just gotten back from Lionel’s cousins house. He asked Erica to wait in the car while he did something inside (Erica thought maybe Isabella had painted something for her). 20 minutes passed and Erica really had to use the restroom, so she called Lionel and asked if she could come inside now. When she walked in, Lionel had the stairs lined with rose petals and candles, and had their song playing in the background—it was at this point that Erica finally caught on. Erica walked up the stairs and found more rose petals and candles all over the room. Lionel was standing there waiting for her with the biggest smile on his face. Lionel said some very beautiful words, the specifics of which Erica doesn’t remember because her heart was beating so fast. Lionel then called for his girls Isabella (9) and Liana (4) to come out of their room and told Erica to turn around. When she did, she saw that both girls were wearing shirts that said “Will you marry our daddy?” Erica immediately dropped to her knees and began crying. When she turned to look at Lionel, he was on one knee and had the most gorgeous ring in his hand. It was easily the best day ever!

What do you love about each other: 

• Erica loves about Lionel: the incredible dad he is, the patience he has with her, how hardworking he is, the notes he leaves her in the morning, when he cleans the house and does yard work, how big his heart is.

• Lionel loves about Erica: The unbelievable role model and step-upped mother she has become for Isabella and Liana. The love and compassion she shows Lionel, Isabella, and Liana on a daily basis. Erica has been the best life partner Lionel could have ever asked for and is very blessed to have Erica in his life.

Interests/hobbies you enjoy doing together: we like to golf together, spend time with our families and our 2 girls.

Erica & Lionel’s wedding was pure magic! It was a beautiful story unfolding was they celebrated their families coming together and becoming one.
It was classic & timeless, we loved seeing Erica’s dad perform during their Ceremony and just how thoughtful it was for them to incorporate Spanish for Lionel’s side of the family. It was so sweet to see 

Erica & Lionel enjoy their day along with their girls… 
We wish Erica & Lionel a lifetime of JOY and happiness. Congratulations!

Nicole + Blake Step Into The Limelight | Pass-a-Grille Beach | St. Pete Beach, FL

A beautiful sunset, a champagne pop, and a great couple… we can’t ask for much more!

We are always so happy when we get to meet our sweet couples before their wedding day and the sunset for their engagement session was the cherry on top! These two are such a sweet pair. Seeing their interactions and laughter between photos truly made taking the photos so much fun.

We can’t wait to see them in a year and a half at Longboat Key Club when they say “I do”!

Lauren + Cliff Step Into The Limelight | Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach Resort And Spa | Clearwater, FL

Lauren and Cliff met when they were sophomores in High School through a mutual friend, who was trying to play match maker for the two. Lauren went to Freedom High School, and Cliff went to Beaver Falls High School, which was about a 20 minute distance from each other. Cliff was not shy about making it known that he was interested in Lauren. Lauren, on the other hand, was unavailable at the time. However, Cliff would remain persistent and he would not hide his interest when he would run into Lauren. Fast forward through college, getting “real jobs”, and entering into the real world, Lauren and Cliff’s paths crossed again. Lauren and Cliff have many mutual friends, and it would not be uncommon for them to run into each other at social gatherings. Cliff decided to take his chance, and he started messaging Lauren. When Lauren told her family about Cliff, they immediately loved him, especially Lauren’s Dad and Grandma, Marianne. She jokes with Lauren to this day that she “hand picked” Cliff for Lauren. On September 14, 2017, Lauren and Cliff had their first date at Burgatory in McCandless Crossing. The two talked and laughed for hours! They then went to the mall and Cliff helped Lauren pick out a birthday present for her mom. Burgatory still serves as a special date spot for Lauren and Cliff— It’s their go-to place to celebrate special moments in their relationship, such as celebrating each other’s personal successes, having their engagement photo shoot, and getting their townhouse.

Cliff proposed on May 29, 2021 while he and Lauren were on a trip to visit Lauren’s family in Florida. Cliff popped the question at Sarasota Bayfront Park as the two walked by the water. Cliff and Lauren’s family tricked Lauren into thinking they were waiting for dinner reservations, which actually did not exist. Lauren said YES! Lauren and Cliff celebrated with family, including Lauren’s grandmother, Marianne Luther, who was flown in from Louisiana to be able to celebrate the special moment.

Fast forward to Lauren & Cliff’s wedding day… such a gorgeous and sweet day!
Lauren looked absolutely beautiful and Cliff could not take his eyes off of her. They celebrated with family and Friends in Clearwater Beach, Florida surrounded by so much love. 

We love the classy and elegant ivory with touches of light blue and greenery for Lauren’s decor, so romantic but most importantly we LOVED being a part of such a special day for Lauren & Cliff. It was such a treat to watch them love and care for each other. We wish with Lauren & Cliff a lifetime filed with lots of bliss and amazing adventures. Cheers!

Niki + Neil Step Into The Limelight | Sheraton Sand Key Resort | Clearwater Beach, FL

Niki and Neil met online in December of 2013… and the rest is history.

Since being together, Niki and Neil have had the opportunity to travel around Florida together, despite them living Michigan. Florida fulfilled the visions that they looked for in their wedding day, so they chose the beautiful Sheraton Sand Key Resort! Not only was this a wedding celebration, but also a weekend vacation with their closest friends and family. Their friends and family mean the world to them and that was so evident throughout their entire wedding day. 

From getting ready, to their first touch, their ceremony, group photos and every moment after, Niki and Neil were showered in love from all of their people. These two had always wanted a low key destination wedding with a small group of their favorite people, and their vision came to life!

We adore Niki and Neil. These two compliment each other incredibly well and it was so much fun to capture such a sentimental and momentous day. We wish them nothing but love, laughter, and a happily ever after…together and with their sweet pup.
