Raquel + Kyle Step Into The Limelight | The Florida Aquarium | Tampa, FL

Raquel & Kyle…

They met back in 2016 in Tampa, Florida and have been laughing and loving ever since ♥️
When Kyle was ready to propose to Raquel, he decided to pop the question in front of the entire family at the historical sponge docks in Tarpon Springs, Florida (in front of a HUGE Christmas tree!).
Raquel LOVES Kyle’s sense of humor and kindness and Kyle LOVES Raquel’s supportive attitude towards the things he enjoys (we LOVE us some Raquel, she’s the sweetest thang!)
Both Raquel & Kyle enjoy diving, theme parks, video games and going on random adventures around town.
Raquel’s favorite color is 💜 so she made sure to incorporate her fave color throughout her wedding along with her love for Disney and the movie Tangled. Their wedding day was classy and elegant with lots of pops of color and many many beautiful moments.
We so LOVED meeting these two beautiful fish lovers and we could not have asked for a more perfect dat at The Florida Aquarium, it was drama, it was sweet, it was pre joy and we are here for it!
We wish ALL the best to this amazing couple and may ALL your dreams come true ✨

Melissa + Stephen Step Into The Limelight | Red Mesa Events | St. Petersburg, FL

“Who would have thought that a simple super like would change our lives”.
Melissa and Stephen matched on bumble and went on their first date to watch a friends band at a local brewery. They hit it off immediately and the rest is history. The couple loves how much they have in common. Melissa is a professional singer and Stephen has a big spot in his heart for live music. They love spending time outside and going on adventures together. After a four mile hike to the top of Little Haystack in New Hampshire, Stephen asked Melissa to marry him. Of course, she said yes!
The couple said their “I Dos” on Melissa’s grandparents anniversary. Fun Fact, the centerpieces were all different because they were part of her grandmother’s collection.
We LOVED celebrating with Melissa & Stephen on their wedding day at Red Mesa was filled with cherished moments, surrounded by family & close friends.

Meredith + Brantley Step Into The Limelight | The Birchwood | St. Petersburg, FL

a little something about our Meredith & Brantley…

How did he propose: (From Meredith's POV:) We were celebrating our third anniversary. As fans of wine and big band music, we decided to spend our anniversary at a Great Gatsby-themed NY Eve party at a vineyard/hotel outside of Atlanta, where we were living at the time (Chateau Elan). We went with another couple, who apparently was in on an even bigger surprise. Brantley had planned a proposal with the hotel staff - with roses and rose petals covering the hotel room, I walked into our room to see a bottle of champagne and two champagne glasses. When Brantley asked me to look at the champagne bottle, I noticed that there was a question printed on the bottle: "Will You Marry Me?". Completely surprised, I turned around to see Brantley on his knee holding a ring!!

What do you love about each other: Meredith: Brantley will put others before himself, always. He is selfless, empathetic, thoughtful, and aware. Brantley understands how important family and friends are to me, and constantly encourages us to go and visit the people that mean the most to us - one example of how he always puts others first :) He is funny, always finding ways to make me laugh even if I'm having a less-than-ideal day. He is kind and constantly challenges himself to be a better person - inspiring me to do and be better.
Brantley: Meredith makes me want to be the best version of myself. She is smart, passionate, and driven, and inspires everyone around her. She has pushed me (in a good way!) to want to lead a healthier life. She also introduced me to travel, and now one of our favorite things to do is to go explore new places either around Tampa Bay or outside of Florida.

These two were swooning the whole day… they just simply LOVE being together and that was felt around.
Their intimate ceremony at The Birchwood was perfectly filled with laughter and special moments are Meredith said their I do’s. They planned each aspect of their wedding day together, from selecting the music style to hand-selecting each flower {yes ladies, you read it correctly!}. Each detail shared their love story together and we are ALL here for it!

Meredith & Brantley… thank you so much for having us be a part of your LOVE STORY…
We wish you ALL the best in ALL you do..

xoxo
