Megan + Kevin Step Into The Limelight | Lido Beach Resort | Sarasota, FL

#MELBYNOMO

HOW WE MET?

JULY 2018

SO.... We met on bumble. We used to tell people we met at prom because at the time we were embarrassed to admit that, but now we embrace it. We did go to the same high school and did not talk until post college. We always thought it was so crazy we went to the same high school for 3 years and never spoke a day in our lives. However, timing couldn't have been more perfect!

THE PROPOSAL

OCTOBER 11TH, 2021

After long months/years of waiting. Kev finally took me down to the sunshine state, which happens to be one of my fav places. We walked the soft sands of Honeymoon Island near Tampa FL. He got down on one knee on the beach during the sunset.... He made me just about pee my pants!! I was caught off guard but crying happy tears. It was a moment every girl dreams about, and my dreams came true. I got my dream ring/guy all in one awesome moment <3 So as you can see things were done out of order, BUT we wouldn't want it any other way.

THE WEDDING

february 25TH, 2023

A day full of LOVE and fun! Megan + Kevin looked completely radiant and they were so ready to get married. We so enjoyed witnessing these two celebrate each other at the ever-so-gorgeous Lido Beach Resort. We loved how they took their time and enjoyed each moment of the day. From the intimate First Look to the laid back Ceremony on the beach to the fun reception with lots of games and different dances involving their guests. Each moment was lived to the fullest that day…
We wish Megan + Kevin a lifetime of adventure and so much LOVE. Cheers!

Monique + Mark Step Into The Limelight | THE VINOY® RENAISSANCE ST. PETERSBURG RESORT & GOLF CLUB + SUNSET BALLROOM | ST. PETERSBURG, FL

So… we are slightly obsessed with Monique & Mark ❤︎
These two beautiful souls celebrated their love with so much class, we loved how elegant each detail of their wedding day was at the unique and historical Vinoy® Renaissance St. Petersburg Resort & Golf Club. Surrounded by their families and closest friends Monique & Mark tied the knot at the timeless Tea Garden during sunset.

Monique & Mark’s love shined through so beautifully, we could all feel it throughout the entire day.

On the regular, these two enjoy skydiving, gaming, rock climbing, traveling together and we loved being able to witness their excitement when they spoke about each other and their future together.

They danced the night away at the Sunset Ballroom and made sure to love on each of their guests and families. We just love the way they love and we wish Monique & Mark ALL good things in everything they do.

Congratulations to a beautiful couple ❤︎

Rachael + Dominic Step Into The Limelight | Italian Club | Tampa, FL

Rachael and Dominic met in 2013 while they were in their college marching band. They were in band together for two years prior to dating… and now, 8 years later, they’re married!

Because we just HAVE to share it, here’s how Rachael tells their engagement story: 

“Dominic rented out a movie theater for the movie The Eternals. He told me that we were going to a theater in St. Pete for comfortable chairs. He asked me after we got into the theater before the movie started. My sister and parents were hiding behind the seats to surprise me.”

Rachael loves that Dominic is determined and straight forward. He will always be there when she needs him and be the support system that she can depend on. Dominic loves Rachael's passion for animals and love of life. 

Throughout their wedding day, you could spot many birds, as birding is something that both Rachael and Dominic like to do together. From the details on their cake and their table signs, to their guest book, they tied in their mutual love for wildlife! 

Their entire day was beautiful, set in the beautiful Italian Club, decorated with perfect touches of pinks and blues, and lots of celebrating in the form of dancing, drinking coffee from their coffee bar + eating gelato! Congratulations to Mr. & Mrs. Raia!

Ana Carolina + Rolando Step Into The Limelight | Aloft Tampa Midtown | Tampa, FL

¡Los mejores! Ana Carolina & Rolando ♥️
A friend introduced them and they naturally started talking to each other.
Then the sweetest moment… while they were curled up in bed, Rolando showed Ana Carolina some engagement ring on his cell and casually said “ this ring is the one I like the most, and you? Will you marry me?”. From then on they started to plan their special day with familia y amigos.
We LOVE how they both just fit together so naturally and beautifully. Their main core is family and simply being together.
Ana Carolina & Rolando’s wedding day was flawless… all the details was thoughtful and meaningful including the lighting of the candle during their ceremony which included their sweet daughter. We loved witnessing Ana Carolina & Rolando loving on each guest and taking the time to thank everyone for being there to celebrate them. I think Ana Carolina managed to hug, talk and take a picture with everyone… it was so special to see.
Deseamos a Ana Carolina y Rolando todo lo mejor en todo lo que hacen. Sirven todas las cosas buenas. ¡Siempre!

Michelle + Adam Step Into The Limelight | Westshore Yacht Club | Tampa, FL

Dream weather, dream couple, dream day. 

Michelle and Adam’s story started 7 years ago. In January 2016, these two met at a friend’s barbecue. Since then, they have spent much time exploring the great outdoors, trying new foods, cooking, and being with each other’s families.

The love between Michelle and Adam’s two families radiates. Not only do Michelle and Adam love each other dearly, but all of their siblings mesh well and both sets of parents’ friendships are close knit. The bond between them and their families is so strong and beautiful. Michelle and Adam also had 99% of their guests come from out of town and from around the continent to witness this sweet union, so there’s a lot of love there too!

With a stunning view of the marina from the chuppah, an overcast ceremony, and a stunning string-lit reception, we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day.

Congrats! מזל טוב!
