Kasey + Jack Step Into The Limelight | THE DON CESAR | ST. PETERSBURG, FL

How Kasey and Jack’s story started… 

They met in 2019 using an online dating app. Kasey knew aright away that she wanted probably marry Jack - he was unlike anyone she'd ever met. The first date was at a cute cocktail bar in Chicago—a pipe burst through so they had to run to the bar next door for their second drink!

How Jack proposed: Jack proposed to Kasey at the Indiana Dunes early in the morning—sweaty and tired from the hike, she said yes! They had slurpies together and then drove back to Chicago to celebrate! (But not before Kasey painted her nails & Jack took a cat nap)! 

How their wedding day went: SO incredibly beautiful and the smoothest, most full of genuine joy wedding we have seen in a while! Kasey radiated so much happiness and Jack opened up as the night went on, bringing out some fun dance moves by the end of the night! These two are such a compliment to one another—that was very apparent. The love in their eyes as they looked at each other throughout the day was a testament to how exciting of a day this was for them and how meaningful/memorable it will be for the rest of their lives.

We are so happy for the Fagen’s! Congrats Kasey and Jack!

Claire + Pierce Step Into The Limelight | SUNKEN GARDENS | ST. PETERSBURG, FL

Claire and Pierce’s love story goes back to high school, when they first started dating at 16 and 17 years old! When they were in high school and dating, they promised each other that they would not get married and that it was only temporary…but God had other plans for them! Flash forward to November 19th… 7 years after they first started dating.

Claire and Pierce’s wedding day was reflective of the work that the Lord has done in their lives. Their love for God and each other radiated between them and their guests throughout the ceremony and the rest of the evening. These two had a beautiful ceremony in the garden, surrounded by their closest friends and family members, a family friend playing the guitar, and smiles of delight for their union. With prayers over the couple and sweet vows of their declaration of love and commitment, Pierce and Claire became husband and wife!

Their reception followed, oh so romantic under the string lights and stars! Many gorgeous details decorated their reception, soft chatter among guests as well as great music filled the space, and the bride and groom were smiling non-stop. It was truly a gorgeous event. 

We always like to ask our couples what they love about each other and here’s what Claire and Pierce said:

“What I love about Pierce is his dedication to be a provider and a protector, and his encouragement he gives for my walk with Jesus. I love how he is slow to anger and that he has a tender heart for the Lord.” —Claire

“What is love about Claire is how sweet she is, how thoughtful and creative your mind is. How strong your walk with Christ is and how you pursue your goals and don’t give up.” —Pierce

To the Pattisons: We wish you an endless amount of joy as you continue your lives together! We pray that the Lord would be glorified in each and every thing you do as a couple and that you see Him at work in all circumstances. We hope you would continue to encourage one another, cheer each other on, and always seek Him. Congratulations!

Jenna + Jason Step Into The Limelight | Yacht StarShip | Clearwater Beach, FL

Jenna and Jason had the time of their lives!!! They met last November 18th through Facebook mutual friends. They enjoy working out, taking long walks, going to the lake on their boat, cooking together, and spending most of their time together. Their first trip together was to Treasure Island.

Jason proposed in the car two hours after he got the ring because he just couldn't wait! Although Jenna and Jason reside in Memphis, TN, they chose to get married off Clearwater Beach because this area was where they first said out loud that they wanted to get married.

Jason has such a kind heart. He makes Jenna laugh constantly and always makes sure she is good and taken care of. Jenna knew he was "the one" the first night she met him. Her dreams came true when she walked down the aisle and saw his face light up as he saw her.

The couple celebrated with friends and family, dancing and having fun at the reception on the Yacht Starship.

Sarah + Phillip Step Into The Limelight | Opal Sands Resort | Clearwater, FL

Straight from the couple:
How they met…
“We met on Bumble in 2017 while Sarah was in medical school at University of Miami and Phil was working as an electrical engineer in his home city of Miami. We had a mutual friend and felt comfortable meeting each other for a paddle boarding date, and the rest is history! We were each other's one and only Bumble date!”
How Phillip proposed… 
“He took me to Lighthouse Point in East Haven, CT where his childhood friend was hiding on the beach to take pictures. He brought a bouquet of red roses and our favorite bottle of Malbec from the Finger Lakes and got down on one knee. I interrupted his proposal with an eager yes, and we had a beautiful photoshoot on the beach during sunset.”
What they love about each other: 
Sarah: "Phillip is incredibly kind and smart and always pushes me to be the best version of myself. He gets me out of my comfort zone by signing me up for obstacle course races and trying delicious new foods. He always makes me laugh and every day is a good day when we're together." 
Phillip: "Sarah is sweet and super smart. She's pretty and funny and very thoughtful. She laughs at my jokes and is game for just about anything!”
Sarah and Phillip’s wedding day was nothing short of peaceful. Everything about their wedding day exuded relaxation, hospitality for their guests, and joy. Sarah and Phillip are such sweet souls and we are so excited for them to now be newlyweds! Congrats to the Weiners!
