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 ❤︎

Michelle + Ben Step Into The Limelight | Esplanade Golf and Country Club | Lakewood Ranch, FL

These two are the definition of FUN! You can really tell they always have fun together no matter what they're doing. They are very clearly both committed to building a life together and putting in the effort to make their dreams a reality. Michelle and Ben met in St. Kitt where they were completing Veterinary  School and incorporated that into their table signs by naming each table after a place there. Ben's cuff links and tie clip were his Grandfather's, and they looked stunning on him. Their signature cocktails featured their two pets and let them become a part of Michelle and Ben’s big day. You could really see their love for animals in the little details throughout the reception! Their photo booth and guest book were stars of the show as that area was full the entire evening with people enjoying themselves and celebrating the beautiful couple. Their families pitched in with designing the space as Ben's mom hand made all the table signs and Ben and his dad built the arch used during the ceremony!

These two have a wonderful future ahead of them, and I can’t wait to see all the big things life has in store for them as a couple. They were truly some of the most genuinely kind people I’ve had the pleasure of working with, and I would do it again in a heartbeat.
