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

So fun fact…

after Meryl & Matt’s first date…and after nonstop conversations, they ended up at Taco Bell! {the BEST spot for a midnight snack, am I right?}

Meryl & Matt met on Tinder and have been dating for almost seven years. They are now cat parents and they LOVE spending quality time at Disney together.

Matt made sure to propose to Meryl in the most perfect way. While on a boat he popped the question and when Meryl turned around their families and close friends were all there to celebrate with them! Proposal and engagement party all in one.

We laughed so hard during their engagement session, learning about what we love and just getting to know each other. We had such a great time… we started by the Dewey in St. Pete and ended up on the beach enjoying the sunset and overlooking their wedding venue, Bellwether Beach Resort.

I cannot wait to celebrate these two beautiful ones, it will be such a fun day. I may cry, I will definitely laugh and I’ll get to hang with the cool kids. Meryl & Matt, happy wedding planning. Enjoy each moment and run to Disney if you’re ever stressed ♡

Jennifer + Peter Step Into The Limelight | The Cliff House Maine | Cape Neddick, ME

Jennifer and Peter met on a blind date set up by mutual friends in October 2021. They remember their first date at Plumb Island Grill being filled with laughter…

At 5:30 a.m. Peter proposed to Jennifer as the sun was rising and shining glorious light through their bedroom windows. 

Jennifer describes Peter as being a complete gentleman. She loves how he makes her laugh, and the way he takes care of their family. Together, Jennifer and Peter, enjoy waking on the beach with their dogs, watching their daughters play soccer, running, and DIY projects. 

Their beautiful NE coastline wedding celebrated two families intertwining. The beautiful bride, Jennifer wanted a gorgeous Cinderella wedding with her prince, and we made sure our photographs encapsulated all her wedding wishes. The stunning coastline brought in a nautical and outdoorsy feeling, which suits the bride and groom perfectly. We wish this beautiful new family a lifetime of happiness as they adventure on this new journey!

Katherine + Lucas Step Into The Limelight | Sandbar Restaurant | Anna Maria, FL

Katie + Lucas’ story is a good one…

In the beginning of 2019, Lucas and Katie went to the graduation party of one of their mutual friends. Partway through the party, Katie spots Lucas and has to ask her friend who the tall man is (for reference for those who don’t know Lucas, he’s over 6 1/2 feet tall). Their mutual friend then introduces the two of them and Katie and Lucas spend the rest of the evening together. When they go their separate ways, Katie gives Lucas her number… or so they thought. 

Katie waited for over a week wondering why Lucas hadn’t texted her to plan a date that he had promised her at the party… that’s when Lucas reached out to their mutual friend saying that he had the wrong number, whether it was on accident or purpose. Their friend then gave Lucas the CORRECT phone number, and then the rest is history!

Lucas popped the big question to Katie in December of 2021 while they were in Vail. Leading up to their engagement, they had traveled near and far together, adopted their fur baby Boomer, and even vacationed to Longboat Key (which is where they stayed for their wedding!).

Their big day was full of friends, laughter and lots of dancing. Their reception space was gorgeous, with a checkered dance floor, wicker lanterns, and tropical flowers. As Katie said throughout the day, it was “very chill”! Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves, the music, and each other’s company.

Congrats to the Rytel’s!

Carrie + Yianni Step Into The Limelight | Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church | Clearwater, FL

Carrie and Yianni met online on EligibleGreeks.com. Carrie came across Yianni's page first and couldn't believe how much they had in common after reading his profile. She liked his profile on the website, and waited 3 long days for him to finally message her. According to Yianni, when he came across Carrie's profile, he didn't think she was real because she had listed all of the same interests as him (he thought she copy & pasted from his page). He decided to pay the website anyway to allow him to message her to find out if she was real or not. After about a month of messaging and face-time calling each other, Yianni decided that he couldn't wait any longer to meet her and made the 11-hour drive down to St. Petersburg, FL to meet her in person for the first time. On their first date, he greeted her with a bouquet of flowers and a case of craft beer. The rest is history.

Oh my… these two are made for each other! We LOVED being able to witness their love for each other. Through the thoughtful traditions and meaningful details, both Carrie and Yianni commemorated their Greek heritage in beautiful ways. We love how Carrie and Yianni take such great pride in everything they do. 

Their wedding day was full of LOVE and a whole lot of dancing. It was all pure joy.

We wish Carrie and Yianni a lifetime of happiness and many more beautiful memories together!

Να ζήσετε (na zisete)! A wish for a long life together, full of health and prosperity.
