McKenna + Aaron Step Into The Limelight | Cross Creek Ranch | Dover, FL

“Life is a song, LOVE is the music”.

McKenna & Aaron met on the first day of fall classes, freshman year at USF in music theory and yes they both utterly enjoy music 🎼
They love how they are able to push each other to be the best versions of themselves. They both have a love for music and teaching others through music, which has strengthened their relationship.
McKenna & Aaron enjoy spending time with their puppy, Groot, and cat, Milo. They also enjoy playing games with friends and family and going to Disney.
Their wedding day was magic! We LOVED watching these two tie the knot at the Enchanted Garden at Cross Creek Ranch… it was pure beauty! We so appreciated all the bright and bold colors throughout the venue… it made it all come to life! Each moment was oh so special, despite the Florida heat! lol McKenna & Aaron’s guests had such a great time and we loved being a part of it all.
We wish McKenna & Aaron a lifetime of happiness and many beautiful musical moments together.

Nicole + Thomas Step Into The Limelight | Cross Creek Ranch | Dover, FL

It was such a pleasure being present at Nicole and Thomas’s wedding held at Cross Creek Ranch in Florida. These two beautiful and lively souls met at a mutuals friend’s birthday party and they quickly caught interest in each other. Thomas loves how thoughtful, caring and loving Nicole is and says she makes him feel like a better person when they are together. Nicole loves how easy going Thomas is, how adventurous, and supportive he has always been with her and she adores him for that.

This fun and laid back couple started their wedding day getting ready with their loved ones around them. In between laughs and funny moments, the two got ready for the big day. The ceremony time came around and guest walked through a garden to get to the Enchanted Forest where Nicole and Thomas would say the I-Do’s. It was the fairytale wedding the couple had always desired and it was definitely magical!

The party time came and this was held inside the most magnificent barn with string lightings covering the ceiling, barn inspired decor, with clocks and floral center pieces. The cake was beautiful placed on a rustic furniture piece and decorated in a way that described the couple (with a silly twist of course!). Guests enjoyed the night with the new mr. and mrs and they all had fun dancing and singing. It was such a great night, one that will live in their hearts! Congratulations to the newlyweds!

Andreina + John Step Into The Limelight | Cross Creek Ranch | Dover, FL

Ina first met John while finishing her internship at Palmetto General Hospital. Though John did not notice Ina during this time, he definitely left quite the impression on her. Sadly, their timing was not right and Ina's internship came to an end sending them both on separate ways. Fast forward a couple of months when Ina was offered a job at Palmetto and where John was still working on his fellowship. This time, however, their timing was perfect and with a little help from some friends, a relationship began between the two. They were both crazy about each other and knew they wanted to spend the rest of their lives together and so John asked Ina the question in front of a million people (which she hated) and she said yes. Now the two live together in Tampa along their two crazy, but loving puppies, Red and Blue. 

Love story from couples’ website: http://www.johnpaulandandreinasayido.wedding/ 

We could not have asked for a more beautiful weekend!  The deeply rooted and serene ceremony at Nativity Catholic Church was intimate and honorable. Then on Saturday,  the feeling all around was warm and comforting with family & friends and the most perfectly decorated venue at Cross Creek Ranch with touches of dusty pink elegance with a modern rustic chic feel.

Ina & John are a delight to be around… they live life to the fullest and their dancing shoes are on ALL DAY!

Andreina is from Venezuela, so you know the party was on! So.Much.Fun. indeed! Along with so many memorable moments, like the First Look on the “love” bridge, First Dances and the time when the Best Man said “ I’ve know John since kindergarten”, such a cherished friendship. This will be a night to remember for us. 

Thank you for having us Andreina & John. We wish you ALL the best life can bring. Viva la vida!
