Melissa + Dave Step Into The Limelight | Tampa Marriott Water Street | Tampa, FL

Meet Barbie & Ken…

…I mean Melissa & Dave 🥰

Ohh these two… they are the nicest, warmest, sweetest, most good looking people you’ll meet!
Dave proposed to Melissa on a Christmas morning and have enjoyed many beautiful moments together.
Melissa & Dave enjoy traveling, drinking wine, going to arcades and playing games… they also LOVE so beautifully.

We simply love seeing couples who just let go and SHINE together with passion and thoughtfulness for everyone around. We also love when people truly enjoy each moment, making sure to include what is most important… “family”. That is what sums up Melissa & Dave’s wedding day! It was all classic, emotional, thoughtful and so much fun!

We wish Melissa & Dave… love and many more special and unforgettable moments together.

Danielle + Ryan Step Into The Limelight | BellaCosa Lakeside Lodge & Venue | Lake Wales, FL

Danielle & Ryan met o Tinder in 2017…their first date was to see Star Wars, they both enjoy watching shows, biking, walking their dog Cappi, the gym, cooking, eating and golfing together.
They truly love everything about each other especially their sense of humor, smiles and attitudes.

Danielle & Ryan’s wedding day was nothing short than a fairytale, it was magical in every way ✨
The entire day felt romantic and classic… from the horse and carriage carrying Danielle down the aisle to the gorgeous BellaCosa Lakeside as their background to the flowers that perfectly accented each portion of the day with blush, ivory and pinks… 

We LOVED meeting these two for their engagement session at Hotel Zamora in St. Pete and now being able to witness Danielle & Ryan around family & friends celebrating their love… it was just perfect, it was emotional… it was classically beautiful ✨

We wish Danielle & Ryan many many more beautiful days together! May the force always be with you ✨

Crystal + Jason Step Into The Limelight | Sandpearl Resort | Clearwater, FL

Crystal & Jason met at a friends party. Camden (Crystal’s son) started to play with Jason and one thing led to a next and the rest is a beautiful history!
Jason loves Crystal’s smile and says “I do my best to have every interaction end with a laugh and a smile. She’s the most caring and loving person I’ve ever met and it shows right through her smile.” Crystal says, “What I love about Jason is how selflessly he loves and how genuine he is. He will do anything for anyone and his family.”

We just LOVED how family was intentionally the center of Crystal & Jason’s entire wedding day! Amazing fact… their wedding date was also Crystal’s grandparents 70th anniversary date! How absolutely amazing is that? Crystal & Jason chose to have their daughter Chloe walk down the aisle with the Maid of Honor (such a special moment) and Camden walked his mom down the aisle… which OMG! Nothing cuter than that! They also made a point to do a Sand Ceremony during their wedding.

We witnessed such sweet moments through the day, we LOVED their sunset session and it was just such a laid back and enjoyable moment, it was pure beauty! The Clearwater Beach sunset will forever have our hearts ❤︎ We wish Crystal & Jason a lifetime of beautiful moments with each other and their cuties Camden & Chloe!

Denise + Jeffrey Step Into The Limelight | Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach | Clearwater, FL

It all started while out with a friend in Grand Rapids, MI October 2012 at one of their favorite spots in Michigan, HopCat. Denis met Jeff for the first time. They converted and after drawing on napkins to get to know one another, Jeff and Denise proceeded to talk and laugh all night. They got closer as time went by and started dated until one day, disguised as a birthday trip to Denise’s favorite place, Walt Disney World, Jeff custom planned an entire day. The day began with the first surprise, staying at Animal Kingdom Lodge Jambo House. They had the luxury of spending the day by the pool and watching Giraffes and Zebras stroll theSavanna from the balcony. For dinner, Jeff narrowed options to 3 locations; as fate would have it, Denise picked the one that followed his plan at Contemporary Resort. Initially begging to see the gingerbread house on display, Jeff convinced her to take a walk out by Seven Seas Lagoon. There, they were met by a captain taking them on a private boat ride to watch the “Happily Ever After’ Fireworks from Magic Kingdom. Surprise, after surprise, Jeff managed to hide a ring box in his sock; removing the ring when Denise was not looking, and got down on one knee and asked Denise to marry him. The smallest details, down to his timing, all done on his own. It made this day super special for Denise and one that she will always cherish!

Clearwater Beach was the first place they visited after moving to Florida. It was the beginning of a new chapter in their lives. Being a place they love frequenting, they wanted to share their love for their new home and this next chapter with friends and family. The Hyatt was perfect for this beautiful moment and they were so happy to celebrate their love. 

“Sharing our life, in a place we love, with the people we love. We couldn’t ask for much more.” - Denise & Jeff

Katey + Jaime Step Into The Limelight | Hyde Park Presbyterian Church + Jackson's Bistro, Bar & Sushi | Tampa, FL

Katey & Jaime met at a Christmas luncheon a while back… and the rest is pure bliss.

Jaime decided to propose to Katey during a beautiful Sarasota Florida sunset, he then surpassed Katey with a dinner with all their families and best friend.
They absolutely LOVE  everything about each other and have the cutest son together. They  love spending time with their families and son and love going out for dinner and drinks (so the proposal was perfect!).
Katey & Jaime wanted an intimate celebration for their wedding day and that is just what they needed… they had a very beautiful traditional ceremony at Hyde Park Presbyterian Church and they enjoyed a very relaxed and intimate dinner at Jackson's Bistro, Bar & Sushi with their families and close friends. It was traditional meets modern right in the heart of  Tampa Downtown. It was a day filled with lots of love and the key word was “family”… simple but completely elegant and classic. We LOVED being a part of Katey & Jaime’s special and wish them both all the goodness in the world! Cheers to newlyweds!
