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

December 8, 2023 Rebecca Zoumberos

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!
