Mary & Brent Step Into The Limelight | Hilton Clearwater Beach Resort & Spa | Clearwater Beach, FL

Mary and Brent had always wanted to have a beach wedding. With enough effort and planning, Mary and Brent had their dream wedding at the Hilton Clearwater Beach. The two got ready at the Hilton and wanted to do a first touch before the ceremony which was the sweetest moment early in the day. It was time for the ceremony and just like they wanted, it happened on the beach, under a bamboo and floral wedding arch. The couple said their I-Do’s and it was off to party! A tent was located right by the beach which held their reception. This would give them and their guest the full beach experience. String lights lit the reception area and love and happiness filled the area. It was truly an amazing event filled with laughs and pure joy. Congratulations to the newlyweds!!!

Liana + Mike Step Into The Limelight | Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach Resort and Spa | Clearwater, FL

Liana and Mike had an amazing wedding at the beautiful Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach Resort and Spa. I had the privilege of meeting this lovely couple a few months prior when we took engagement photos at Sandy Beach. They were so much fun and so lively together, it truly was a great time for all of us! The wedding day finally arrived and both Mike and Liana along with their friends and family were more than excited for the big day. Mike and Liana said their I-Do’s on the terrace which overlooked the water. The weather was PERFECT and their ceremony space was beautifully decorated with white chairs, floral arrangements at the front and on the chairs - classic and elegant! 

The reception that followed was just as beautiful with purple up-lit walls, white roses and green foliage center pieces and a cake which had two seahorse right at the top to give it just the right amount of ocean flair. To end the night full of happy moments, the couple had a nice streamer sendoff with all their guests surrounding them. It was pretty neat and a night to remember. 

Congratulations to the newlyweds!!!

Heidi + Tom Step Into The Limelight | Opal Sands Resort | Clearwater Beach, FL

Sweet words from the bride Heidi:

A Cinco De Mayo to remember!

Tom and I met at a Mortgage Professionals Golf Tournament on Cinco De Mayo. I invited Tom with the intention of networking and hoping to build a business relationship. I ended up with the love of my life and a love story I will never forget.

About a month before the tournament I met Jolie, who is a realtor in Tom’s office. We had recently worked together on a deal and originally I had asked her to attend the tournament. She said she wasn’t much of a golfer and suggested that I ask a friend in her office instead. Little did I know that Jolie was playing matchmaker and had told Tom she thought we'd hit it off. We’d both been saying the same thing “there’s no good guys/girls left”.

I almost didn't call him not wanting to spend 18 holes with a stranger. The thought of small talk for an entire day sounded miserable but this was a new job and my new boss was going to be there. I was supposed to bring someone relevant to our industry so I worked up my courage and ended up calling him a few days before the event and left a voicemail. Funny that he still has it saved to this day.

May 5th rolled around and Tom and became fast friends. The conversation was easy and immediately I felt at ease with him. By the third hole we were swapping match.com date stories and by the 18th hole we were planning our next adventure. It may have taken us all of 3 weeks to figure out we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together and we could not be more happy to share in this special day with all of you.

The Proposal!

I popped the question at the Don CeSar Resort on St. Pete Beach! It was our birthday weekend and I surprised Heidi the morning of our trip that I switched our room from Postcard Inn to the Don because it was her big 3-5 bday! I set up a couples massage that day for us to set the tone and get relaxed. After an amazing couples massage and lunch/pool day/drinks (but not too many!)...we got ready for what she thought was a dinner down the street. Instead, I told her we should go down to the pool for a drink and then take a stroll on the beach before dinner. Little did she know, I was just delaying her to drop on one knee on the beach.

Behind the scenes I had lots of help from her sister/Matron of Honor- Holli on coordinating our families to get rooms down there and also to be there for the surprise as well. Holli used her Ninja-like moves to be invisible down on the beach to be able to take all the pictures of the surprise proposal. After Heidi said YES, we went up to the Don restaurant where our families were there to Surprise her.

What a celebration it was! Between the best day of my life to celebrating both of our birthday's, it's a day that we both will never forget!

And let me tell you! The love these two posses for each other is a beautiful sight to see! 

From the First Look to Tom’s remarkable Karaoke performance during their reception. They could not stop starring at each other! We LOVED being there to witness each moment unfold. Each detail was impeccably done and LOVE was all around. Fun they had! Tom should be an entertainer! He had that room on fire with excitement and Heidi’s sweetness is just what Tom needs… Thank you for having us Tom & Heidi, we wish you ALL the best.
