Lindsay + Matt Step Into The Limelight | Water Works Park + Armature Works | Tampa, FL

The definition of fate…

In October of 2017 Lindsay, decided to put a sticky note on Matt’s Jeep and asking him out not knowing what he looked like! Their first date was at Water Works Park, rollerblading on the river walk and now they enjoy off-roading in Matt’s Jeep, family gatherings, laughing, trying new restaurants together.
They love everything about each other, their sense of humor, love for adventure, their family commitment and friendly personalties.
Their vision for their wedding day was a rustic, easily going and a lively feel. Their day was a piece of them and Lindsay & Matt wanted to share those moments with ones nearest and dearest to them. I would say they succeeded in doing so!
Their day was fun and filled with love… from seeing Lindsay’s daughter’s sweet little face during the ceremony  to the ever so rehearsed First Dance between Lindsay & Matt. Love was all around.
We wish ALL good things and many many adventures on your Jeep for years to come.
Congratulations!

Christina and Matthew met for the first time in Tampa at a Christmas church party where they both didn't know anybody. They happened to walk side-by-side on the way into the party and ended up talking with each other the whole night. on the day Matt proposed, He took Christina to the Colombia Restaurant in Clearwater. They both sat at the beach and watched the sunset. That's when he proposed! To celebrate, they went to The Melting Pot for dessert and enjoyed each other’s company. Matt LOVES how kinda and caring Christina is and Christina loves how bold Matt is. Together, they enjoy watching movies and musicals.

Christina and Matt Got married in the church where Christina grew up in. Grace Episcopal Church was and has always been a part of her families like so it only made sense to say their I-Do’s there. Spanish architecture has always been attractive to the two, so the couple decided to have their reception at the beautiful Avila. Their decor was classic and romantic with blue candles, large, tall florals as center pieces, and an ombre blue cake. It was honestly such a beautiful time where the both of them spent quality time together as Mr. and Mrs. Congratulations!!!

Kristine + Jacob Step Into The Limelight | The Florida Aquarium | Tampa, FL

Krissy and Jacob’s love story began on March 22nd, 2013 during their spring semester at the University of Tampa, Jake was a senior and Krissy was a junior.  They were out with their respective friends and local college hang out and bumped into each other. Jake bought Krissy a drink and the rest was history.

The fall of 2017, was a crazy time period for Krissy and Jake. In October, Jake had decided that he wanted to make Krissy his forever and got blessings from Krissy’s parents. Krissy’s parents then gave Jake a diamond. Jake decided on a plan to propose to Krissy in Florida during Christmas. However, tragedy happened when Krissy’s dad got hurt in a hunting accident. So, Jake changed his plan. He, Krissy, and their fur baby Chase drove up to Cleveland for the holidays to spend time with her family. While they were headed out to dinner in downtown Cleveland Jake saw the city square lit up so beautifully that he stopped and asked Krissy to come with him. They were standing in front of the Christmas tree and Jake dropped down on one knee. 

Krissy and Jake love everything about each other, especially how they are able to make one another laugh. They are truly best friends in every way and love spending time on the beach walking their fur babies, Chase and Hayden. For their wedding they decided to have it in Tampa since it is where they met and where they live. Most of their family are from the Ohio and New Jersey so it was a perfect time to get their family out of the freezing north and enjoy some beautiful Tampa weather. Krissy and Jake’s inspiration for their wedding was to incorporate their love for animals and what better place to do it than The Florida Aquarium! They even had extra special guests at the ceremony, penguins!

Congratulation’s on finding your forever Krissy + Jake!

Gabriella + Michael Step Into The Limelight | The Floridan Palace Hotel | Tampa, FL

Gabriella and Michael met each other during the famous pirate invasion of Tampa event called Gasparilla in 2015. They had been out with friends celebrating when they just so happen to meet at Macdintons. Michael came up to strike up a conversation after just moving back to the Tampa area and the rest is history!

On Christmas Eve 2017, they were at Gabriella's mother's house having dinner. Somehow, Michael had found the time to sneak away and ask her parent's permission to marry me. Michael surprised her with plane tickets to Hawaii, a place that she had always dreamed of going! They left the morning after Christmas and had an absolute blast. On New Years Eve, they went for a walk on one of the private beaches. They sat on the beach when all of a sudden, Michael got down on one knee and proposed. They rang in the new year in Hawaii and could not wait to come home and celebrate with their family and friends!

Gabriella has this to say about her love for Michael, “Michael has an awesome sense of humor, he is a great friend and gets along with everyone! His laugh is contagious and so unique. He keeps me calm and always is my voice of reason. I love to travel with him because he loves trying new things and always keeps an open mind. He works very hard and is a loyal son, is great with his family and mine.”
Together they bring out the best in each other and have a sense of humor and their LAUGHING is contagious! They enjoy lounging by the pool or beach, traveling and cooking together.

They wanted their wedding to be very romantic and traditional. They knew that they wanted to embrace Tampa's culture and show their guests why they love this city so much. Everything felt fresh but still warm with florals and lighting. The Floridan is so iconic and grandiose, boasting the most beautiful architecture and was absolutely stunning during the holiday season. The black tie attire certainly matched the ambiance and set the tone for a glamorous final weekend in 2018!

Gabriella was most excited for her wedding dress and they both loved their band, the florals. They also had some amazing details during the cocktail hour that are unique to Tampa - a cigar aficionado and a flamenco guitarist!

Gabriella and Michael really love to have fun and entertain, and they certainly paid attention to every little at the biggest party they will ever have! They picked out each detail together so that everything at the wedding was a reflection of both of their families and history, and the different pieces that bring them happiness.

So many special emotional moments throughout the day left all of the guests feeling overjoyed and in awe of the elegant decor. You could see and feel the love as Gabriella was first walking down the aisle with her dad, when her dad gave her away and as Gabriella and Michael said their vows. The excitement and celebration of love continued as their shared their first kiss and first dance as husband and wife with all of the most special people in our lives being in one room witnessing their joy.
