So fun fact…

after Meryl & Matt’s first date…and after nonstop conversations, they ended up at Taco Bell! {the BEST spot for a midnight snack, am I right?}

Meryl & Matt met on Tinder and have been dating for almost seven years. They are now cat parents and they LOVE spending quality time at Disney together.

Matt made sure to propose to Meryl in the most perfect way. While on a boat he popped the question and when Meryl turned around their families and close friends were all there to celebrate with them! Proposal and engagement party all in one.

We laughed so hard during their engagement session, learning about what we love and just getting to know each other. We had such a great time… we started by the Dewey in St. Pete and ended up on the beach enjoying the sunset and overlooking their wedding venue, Bellwether Beach Resort.

I cannot wait to celebrate these two beautiful ones, it will be such a fun day. I may cry, I will definitely laugh and I’ll get to hang with the cool kids. Meryl & Matt, happy wedding planning. Enjoy each moment and run to Disney if you’re ever stressed ♡

Kiley + Brandon Step Into The Limelight | Don CeSar Hotel | St. Petersburg, FL

July 22, 2020

Kiley & Brandon met in undergrad about 4 years ago… on Tinder!

They somehow landed on the exact same path of med school. Completely by chance. There has been a never-ending stream of events that should never happen that have led them to be together.

They have gone to med school in different countries together, both have had emergency surgeries together…packed up their lives in three hours to escape a crisis and return to the US... the list goes on! And somehow in the middle of med school, trying to get licensed as physicians, and moving over seas and back again they still managed to plan a wedding!

Here’s what they love about each other…

Kiley: "He is the most genuine person I have ever met. I feel like a queen when I am with him. It's like everything he does is to make me happy. I have never met a more kind and generous person. We laugh at each other's stupid jokes and always have each others backs. I couldn't imagine going through med school with anyone else. I'm so lucky to get to have him. I could go on... but I will stop for now :)

Brandon: "She always brings the very best out of me. I love that she is my biggest fan as I am hers. No matter how difficult the day may be she always puts a smile on my face and makes my day better than the last. I love that she is my first and only love.

Kiley & Brandon love going to the movies, cooking together and sporting events.

Their wedding day was nothing short than a fairytale… they have been through every adventure together, hurdles and big moments and have been each other’s best friends along the way. Their wedding day truly reflected how they keep on falling more in love every day and we LOVED being a part of such a gorgeous and perfect day!

November 6, 2019

Danielle + Derek met each other at a country bar in downtown St. Petersburg.When they locked eyes they felt butterflies and still do every time they see each other.While getting to know one another they realized that they had a lot in common. Danielle and Derek love to go boating, working out, and relaxing by the pool. They love how they are both very loyal and they make each other laugh.

Danielle and Derek’s romantic Vinoy wedding was everything they could have ever dreamed of and contained the most red roses in one location that I have ever seen.

Congratulations on finding your forever!

Rachel + Benny Step Into The Limelight | Fort De Soto Park | St Petersburg, FL

March 26, 2019

Rachel + Benny met through mutual friends while living in Connecticut. They hit it off, yet Benny would always joke about the ’10 year plan.’ BUT after only 5 years…he knew that he needed Rachel to be his forever. Benny waited for their Connecticut trip to pop the question to Rachel and on Christmas day while they were surrounded by their friends and family, Benny asked Rachel to marry him.

Congratulations on your engagement Rachel + Benny, I can’t wait for your New England infused winter wedding next year at the Opal Sands Resort!
