Monique + Mark Step Into The Limelight | THE VINOY® RENAISSANCE ST. PETERSBURG RESORT & GOLF CLUB + SUNSET BALLROOM | ST. PETERSBURG, FL

So… we are slightly obsessed with Monique & Mark ❤︎
These two beautiful souls celebrated their love with so much class, we loved how elegant each detail of their wedding day was at the unique and historical Vinoy® Renaissance St. Petersburg Resort & Golf Club. Surrounded by their families and closest friends Monique & Mark tied the knot at the timeless Tea Garden during sunset.

Monique & Mark’s love shined through so beautifully, we could all feel it throughout the entire day.

On the regular, these two enjoy skydiving, gaming, rock climbing, traveling together and we loved being able to witness their excitement when they spoke about each other and their future together.

They danced the night away at the Sunset Ballroom and made sure to love on each of their guests and families. We just love the way they love and we wish Monique & Mark ALL good things in everything they do.

Congratulations to a beautiful couple ❤︎

The sweetest couple… Cassidy & David 🥰
They met in Spanish Class in High School back in 2014 and have been loving life together ever since.
Cassidy loves David’s good heart and how he makes her laugh… Davis loves Cassidy’s kindness, thoughtfulness and how she loves and cares for him.
They both enjoy playing video games, walking around Downtown Tampa and are both huge Star Wars fans.

Lisa + Tim Step Into The Limelight | | SUNKEN GARDENS | ST. PETERSBURG, FL

Tim and Lisa had a chance meeting at a local St. Pete restaurant in January of 2020. They ended up sitting next to each other and found out they shared many common interests including their areas of work. After their meal, Tim accompanied Lisa to see a live band play…

On April 1, 2022, Tim planned out an unforgettable April fools joke. He told Lisa their plans were a dinner with his new boss to keep his secret plan from being spoiled. Instead, he planned a picnic at Vinoy Park where he would propose to her. Rain thwarted his picnic plans, but he proposed anyway. He then surprised her with her friends and family at a karaoke bar. They sang the rest of the night away, concluding his amazing and unforgettable prank.

 Reliving their first encounter, Tim and Lisa love to see live music and attend music festivals together. They take traveling to the next level and love trying new and amazing foods and wine. As much as they love dining out, Tim loves to cook and Lisa loves Tim’s cooking. They love being social and are always down for a social event. The wedding was the bash of a century. Both the bride and groom wanted their wedding to be a blast and they succeeded! They decided to make their wedding feel like a tasting event with amazing entertainment and skip the sit down dinner. The beautiful bride looked stunning in her lace gown! Limelight sends our well wishes to this fun and festive couple as they take on a new event in life!

Lauren + Cliff Step Into The Limelight | Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach Resort And Spa | Clearwater, FL

Lauren and Cliff met when they were sophomores in High School through a mutual friend, who was trying to play match maker for the two. Lauren went to Freedom High School, and Cliff went to Beaver Falls High School, which was about a 20 minute distance from each other. Cliff was not shy about making it known that he was interested in Lauren. Lauren, on the other hand, was unavailable at the time. However, Cliff would remain persistent and he would not hide his interest when he would run into Lauren. Fast forward through college, getting “real jobs”, and entering into the real world, Lauren and Cliff’s paths crossed again. Lauren and Cliff have many mutual friends, and it would not be uncommon for them to run into each other at social gatherings. Cliff decided to take his chance, and he started messaging Lauren. When Lauren told her family about Cliff, they immediately loved him, especially Lauren’s Dad and Grandma, Marianne. She jokes with Lauren to this day that she “hand picked” Cliff for Lauren. On September 14, 2017, Lauren and Cliff had their first date at Burgatory in McCandless Crossing. The two talked and laughed for hours! They then went to the mall and Cliff helped Lauren pick out a birthday present for her mom. Burgatory still serves as a special date spot for Lauren and Cliff— It’s their go-to place to celebrate special moments in their relationship, such as celebrating each other’s personal successes, having their engagement photo shoot, and getting their townhouse.

Cliff proposed on May 29, 2021 while he and Lauren were on a trip to visit Lauren’s family in Florida. Cliff popped the question at Sarasota Bayfront Park as the two walked by the water. Cliff and Lauren’s family tricked Lauren into thinking they were waiting for dinner reservations, which actually did not exist. Lauren said YES! Lauren and Cliff celebrated with family, including Lauren’s grandmother, Marianne Luther, who was flown in from Louisiana to be able to celebrate the special moment.

Fast forward to Lauren & Cliff’s wedding day… such a gorgeous and sweet day!
Lauren looked absolutely beautiful and Cliff could not take his eyes off of her. They celebrated with family and Friends in Clearwater Beach, Florida surrounded by so much love. 

We love the classy and elegant ivory with touches of light blue and greenery for Lauren’s decor, so romantic but most importantly we LOVED being a part of such a special day for Lauren & Cliff. It was such a treat to watch them love and care for each other. We wish with Lauren & Cliff a lifetime filed with lots of bliss and amazing adventures. Cheers!

Niki + Neil Step Into The Limelight | Sheraton Sand Key Resort | Clearwater Beach, FL

Niki and Neil met online in December of 2013… and the rest is history.

Since being together, Niki and Neil have had the opportunity to travel around Florida together, despite them living Michigan. Florida fulfilled the visions that they looked for in their wedding day, so they chose the beautiful Sheraton Sand Key Resort! Not only was this a wedding celebration, but also a weekend vacation with their closest friends and family. Their friends and family mean the world to them and that was so evident throughout their entire wedding day. 

From getting ready, to their first touch, their ceremony, group photos and every moment after, Niki and Neil were showered in love from all of their people. These two had always wanted a low key destination wedding with a small group of their favorite people, and their vision came to life!

We adore Niki and Neil. These two compliment each other incredibly well and it was so much fun to capture such a sentimental and momentous day. We wish them nothing but love, laughter, and a happily ever after…together and with their sweet pup.
