BROOKE + COLIN STEP INTO THE LIMELIGHT | TAMPA YACHT & COUNTRY CLUB | TAMPA, FL

 

Colin and Brooke met at Brooke’s first job out of college - Digital Mavericks. Together, they wrote/managed celebrity blogs and social media accounts. They both loved exploring new places, going on outdoors adventures and spending time together. Once their relationship grew and Colin knew she was perfect for him, Colin decided to propose to Brooke by the water, near downtown St. Pete.

Brooke Says “I love that Colin is my biggest cheerleader - my confidence has grown since knowing him due to how much he believes in me and how well he treats me. He always puts me first - making me happy is what makes him happy. He is selfless and absolutely always thinks of/puts others before himself. He is sincere, hardworking, loving, thoughtful, the best dad to our puppy and cat, and gets along well with absolutely everyone.”

Their love and passion towards each other is something you quickly pick up on since they are not afraid to get lost in each other’s presence any where they are. This translated beautifully and shined throughout their wedding day which was filled with laughter, special moments and surprise moments!

They are both Pisces and are born one day apart - the last two days of pisces which led them to want to get married somewhere close to the water.  The chose the Yacht Club because being near the water was imperative for the two. Brooke explains, “I am happiest at the beach or near water. I also love that the Yacht Club is classic and a canvas that can easily be made your own. It was convenient for all of the local people to attend there and I wanted to make things easy on everyone.”

On the wedding day, Brooke wore a gorgeous Galia Lahav gown which she looked so stunning in! Brooke mentioned to me, “My dress is one of my very favorite elements of all! It's very romantic and classy but sexy, too - it's sheer with a light nude/semi sheer lining, very very detailed - with a unique vine pattern on the sheer portion.”

The ceremony was outdoors and beautifully decorated with floral pieces on the floor that lead up to a large circular floral piece at the top of the aisle, where this pretty couple said their I-Do’s. After the ceremony, a reception hall within the Tampa Yacht & Country Club hosted a fun evening for the newlyweds and their guests. Dancing and partying was happening all through the night and Brooke and Colin, being the water signs that they are, ended the night by jumping in the pool!

It was truly such a pleasure being able to be present for this wonderful couple. I wish them the best of the best and many more years of fun and adventure together as mr. and mrs. Congratulations!!!
