Dominique + Matthew Step Into The Limelight | Sandpearl Resort | Clearwater Beach, FL

Happy, love, fun, memorable!

Dominique + Matt met in 2015 when they were both working at MGM Grand Casino Marketing (Matt) & Social Events (Dom). This sweet couple is very supportive of each other, loves each other’s sense of humor and share the same values. Together they love being travel partners and the mini family they have built with Winnie & Krewella (their fur babies). Matt proposed with a custom scrapbook of all of their adventures together on the beach in Florida - inspiration from the movie “Up”.

Dom and Matt enjoy attending baseball games (any sporting events really) together, bar hopping, traveling, playing Yahtzee in their backyard with their fur babies, going to the beach and boating.

Their wedding was a fun, loving bad-*ss party including glow sticks, a mash up of songs and great food.

Dom and Matt love the water and travel to Florida at least once a year. Their first trip to Florida was to Clearwater! Inspiration for their wedding location at The Sandpearl came from the views of the water with the beach as the background. And the theme was to be classy and include bright colors. Dom was originally looking for a flown beach dress & fell in love with something completely opposite. It was fun and “lax” with a banging after party once the traditional parts are over. The best part of the day was the beautiful sunset, late night bites, glow sticks, overall background of the entire day and having their fur babies with them!

Rachel + Benny Step Into The Limelight | Opal Sands Resort | Clearwater, FL

 

They drove up to CT for Christmas to surprise their family. Little did she know, Ben had something else planned. After everyone opened their presents Ben brought out a box and said “this is for everybody”. In the box was a cable to plug into the TV and a card saying “plug me in”. They plugged it in and a video started to play. It was a slideshow of all the pictures they took together in the past 5 years, and steps on falling in love. At the end was a picture of Ben holding a sign saying “will you marry me” and he was down on one knee in front of Rachel. WOWZA! All the feels!

They are both caring to one another, Rachel knows he would move mountains for her if she asked. They have each others backs through everything. Rachel also loves how goofy they can be with each other. They can be themselves 100% of the time. They bring out the best in each other. Ben always says that Rachel makes him a better man.

Rachel & Ben like going to the movies, they like to try new things, like going to a new restaurant or trying a new activity. They tried Top Golf and it was so much fun even thought neither of them are golfers. They also like to go to the beach with their dog Mort.

For their wedding they wanted to find a location that was simple but had a wow factor. With Opal Sands Resort, it was the view. It fit perfectly with what Rachel was going for. They didn't want to have a beach wedding but wanted that ocean as the backdrop. Opal Sands Resort was perfect for that. They wanted a simple and elegant feel, not too over the top with everything. Rachel wanted a simple dress, but added a belt to make it pop. With florals Rachel wanted to do very romantic and tasteful.

Rachel wanted to live in the moment and have gorgeous images to look back on… we just loved how they took in the day and allowed it to just flow naturally, it was intimate and purposeful with touches of class and so much LOVE to go around.

Rachel & Ben we wish you both ALL the best in life! Enjoy it all (together).

Marissa + Bryce Step Into The Limelight | Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach Resort and Spa | Clearwater Beach, FL

Marissa and Bryce met in 2012 when Bryce transferred to her workplace. Marissa immediately loved how Bryce had the ability to make her laugh even when she may have had a very terrible day. Besides being hilarious, Bryce has always been so kind and loving with her. Bryce feels like he can always be himself around Marissa, which is so important to him because he tends to joke around a lot. He loves everything about Marissa and her company. Marissa and Bryce enjoy going to the drag racing track, binge watching Netflix, playing video games, and playing with their dogs together.

In 2018, Bryce proposed to Marissa on their yearly ski trip. Every year they travel to the mountains in North Carolina, so nothing was out of the ordinary. As they were skiing down the mountain, Bryce asked her to stop halfway down. She thought they were going to take a picture, but instead Bryce proposed!

Marissa and Bryce were married at Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach Resort and Spa’s 16th floor sky terrace overlooking the beautiful view of Clearwater Beach and surrounded by their loved ones.

Congratulations Marissa and Bryce, may your days be filled with enormous amounts of love and laughter!

Heather + Rocky Step Into The Limelight | Yacht StarShip | Clearwater Beach, FL

Nautical & Casual

Heather & Rocky tied the knot at Yacht StarShip Cruises & Events Clearwater surrounded by family & friends.
They both love ocean, boating, sunsets ( all things Florida!). They enjoy camping, fishing, vacations and spending time with their kids. ( Splash a little football in there too!).
The inspiration for their wedding was all things nautical, in the classic navy blue, white and touches of gold.
Clearwater Beach was the perfect backdrop for their special day, it just tied it all together beautifully 💙
We had a blast celebrating these two and we wish them many years of happiness & Florida adventures.
