Brookelin + Tyler Step Into The Limelight | Yacht Starship IV | Clearwater Beach, FL

Ohhh my goodness… we just love these two!! 💛 

Brookelin and Tyler met in high school and dated the last few months of their senior year. They ended up breaking up since Brookelin was moving away to college, however, they kept in touch throughout those four years. The day Brookelin moved back home, Tyler asked her out on a date and the rest is history!

When asked what Brookelin loves about Tyler she answered, “I love the way he treats me, supports me, and cares for me. I love his hard work and passion for life. His kind heart and spirit, as well as his smile as it radiates the second he walks into the room. I also love his easy-going spirit and humor as he never fails to make those around him laugh. Honestly, there isn't much I don't love about him. He is everything I ever wanted and more; he is everything I didn't even know I needed.” 

We asked Tyler what he loves about Brookelin and he said, “"Everything". I love how calming and sweet she is. I love our relationship and connection. I really feel like we understand and get one another so well. I love her hard-work and dedication, as well as her passion and love for others.” 

I mean isn’t that the sweetest?! 😍

This gorgeous couple simply loves doing life together! They enjoy going for long bike rides to the beach and enjoy spending quality time, either just the two of them or with friends, at the beach. They also love to travel and go out on date nights!

Brookelin and Tyler wanted the overall story of their wedding to be God-filled! They wanted their guests to see what true love looks like and how God has his hands in everything and knew what He was doing to prepare them for each another. Because Brookelin and Tyler dated in high school, broke up, then got back together four years later, they wanted their guests to witness their “once in a life-time” kind of love! They also wanted their guest to see how God has worked in their beautiful relationship and how he will continue to work in their relationship for years to come.

And let me tell you… their entire wedding day story was all of this and more!

Brookelin and Tyler set sail for their wedding aboard the Yacht Star Cruise. 🛥This unique and one of a kind venue was the perfect setting for Brookelin and Tyler’s wedding because it represented their unique and one of a kind type of love! Their entire day was classic, timeless, elegant, and romantic. From Brookelin’s stunning, romantic dress to the beautiful handmade floral centerpieces, every detail of this day was so thought out and absolutely beautiful! Our favorite parts of their special day included Brookelin walking down the aisle and Tyler’s priceless reaction, first dance with one another, and finally that stunning Florida sunset!!! 🌅

We wish this gorgeous couple a lifetime of love & joy! Cheers to the new Mr. & Mrs. Bennett!!! 🥂

Maddie + Alex Step Into The Limelight | Yacht Starship IV | St. Petersburg, FL

A little bit of sparkle, a little bit of pineapples!

Madeleine and Alex met at the University of Arizona Law School, Fall 2015. Madeleine was taking graduation pictures in a national park near where they lived inTucson,AZ (Saguaro National Park).They were out in this beautiful field of yellow flowers & Alex said he wanted to take a few more pictures ... the rest is history (There’s pictures on their website that Alex’s roommate took!). Also, fun fact, Madeleine almost turned back around before they got to “the spot” because they saw a rattlesnake.Alex is a wildlife biologist & was very excited... snakes are Madeline’s #1 fear so she was petrified.

In their own words....

Alex: “I love how adventurous Maddie is. I love how driven she is to go get what she wants. I love how fun and silly she can be. Most of all, I love how she makes me better.”

Maddie: “Alex is one of the smartest and kindest people I know. I love his ambition and how he pushes me to try new things. He is my best friend, he makes me really happy, and he makes me want to be a better person.”

Together they like to play board games, watch movies, and they LOVE to travel. They also love dogs—they have a 2 year old Alaskan Klee Kai named Bandit.

Their wedding day was wedding plan #3!!! Their original wedding/location was in Tucson, Arizona in a beautiful historic hotel/garden in the desert.Then, COVID happened and Madeleine'’s parents moved to Florida.With neither her parents, nor them living in AZ, it didn’t make sense to have the wedding in Arizona anymore... especially because Alex’s family also lives in Florida.

SO, they went with the Yacht Starship because (1) They love boats and (2) They wanted something totally different than what they were doing before. A clean slate.☺ So instead of desert garden, they did an upscale tropical glam vibe.A little bit of sparkle, a little bit of pineapples.

Madeleine actually found her dress in 2011... can you believe that! She saw it in a magazine when she was 18 and said “that’s my wedding dress!” Amazingly enough, her bridal salon (Schaffers in Phoenix,AZ) was able to get a hold of it out of the Lazaro vault in NewYork.As soon as she tried it on, she knew it was the one.Also, she saw it the day she tried it on a in a random episode of “Say Yes to the Dress!” that was on that night... it’s a small world. Madeleine’sMadeleine bracelet is her mother’s, it was a wedding gift to her. It was the first gift her dad got her mom after they were married. ALSO, the diamond in her wedding ring is actually her mom’s too. 33 years of good marriage karma :) Her pearls belong to her grandmother.

Mostly, Madeline and Alex were really excited to be surrounded by the people they love most in the world as they got married. Madeleine also loves her dress (obviously) and the pineapple theme carried through the guys’ socks and cufflinks all the way to the centerpieces! Everyone at the wedding felt happy, special, loved, and celebratory!
