Erica + Anthony Step Into The Limelight | Grand Plaza Hotel | St. Petersburg, FL

March 24, 2020

Erica & Anthony met through a friend (and also officiant) Erik, ten years ago.
Anthony proposed to Erica at home, they were getting ready to go out to dinner and he surprised her when he got on one knee with the kids close by (exactly how Erica wanted).

Erica loves that Anthony is honest, hard worker and makes her feel comfortable. They can always be themselves around each other and communicate through any situation. Erica loves his determination to set goals together and follow through until they are accomplished. What she loves most is how amazing he is as a father and caretaker to their family.

Anthony loves how much she makes him laugh, when she laughs… he loves her drive, even when she is exhausted she still steps up to the plate for their family. Anthony loves how supportive Erica is of his goals and hobbies. She always pushes him to be a better father and overall human being.

Erica & Anthony both enjoy parenting, eating good food, laughing, vacationing, relaxing (can we say spa day!), making coffee together and Netflixing! (yes, its a thing! lol)

For their wedding day, they wanted not just one day to celebrate but a whole trip with their family and friends to celebrate them! They love the beach and thought Grand Plaza Hotel would be the perfect place for their wedding as they live in Schenectady, New York.

They LOVE to dance and these two lit up the dance floor! It was definitely a night to remember. We enjoyed getting to know these two and their sweet boys, their wedding day was filled with lots of laughter and so many beautiful memories. We loved being there!

Erica & Anthony we wish you ALL the best in ALL you do.

Kimberly + Will Step Into The Limelight | The Don CeSar | St. Petersburg, FL

March 20, 2019

Kimberly & Will

Our story began in 2007 at Wharton High School in math class. We became friends after this math class that Will claimed to struggle in - he asked me to tutor him. We both had the same taste in music and were in sports. One time Will let me borrow a Sublime CD that I have yet to return to him. He still asks for it every time he wants to be funny. Years went by we went off to college but remained friends. After I graduated college we started hanging out again. We enjoyed running, working out and began to travel together. After numerous miles that we ran, weights that were lifted, adventures that took place around the world and 3 years later Will got down on one knee on the beach in St. Petersburg, Florida.

Kim - Loves Will’s patience . Will - Loves Kim’s ambition. Together they enjoy working out and traveling.

Their elegant wedding day was inspired by a focus on flowers and a white color scheme. Their wedding was truly a happy and exciting celebration. Their party had everyone up and dancing!

Carolynn + Kendrix Step Into The Limelight | The Don CeSar Hotel | St. Petersburg, FL

December 21, 2018

Kendrix + Carolynn’s story started three years ago when Kendrix kept “liking” Carolynn’s photos on instagram. She finally decided it was time to meet him so she walked right into the surf shop that Kendrix owned in Channelside and they immediately fell in love.

They love so many things about one another…how they make each other laugh, how they parent together, are able to motivate and encourage each other, the ability to put all of their trust into one another, and how similar their life goals and values are.

Carolynn + Kendrix’ favorite way of spending time together involves playing basketball and football. They even had an awesome basketball themed cake topper to top their wedding cake! Even though they love sports, there was nothing else sporty about their romantic black and white wedding. Carolynn + Kendrix’ wedding was so emotional, it was so hard to hold back the tears as we watched them come together to exchange their vows. You could feel how happy Carolynn + Kendrix felt to finally become one and you could also feel how proud their family was!

Congratulations Carolynn + Kendrix, Mr + Mrs Jones at last!

Danielle + Paul Step Into The Limelight | Don CeSar Hotel | St. Petersburg, FL

December 18, 2018

The Don Cesar is one of the most spectacular venues that host the greatest weddings. Danielle’s and Paul’s wedding did not fall short one single bit - simple, elegant and classic.

The couple met at grad school in Virginia in 2013 but did not start dating until 2015. After some time, Paul knew it was time to propose to the love of his life. The engagement ring was hidden in a sweatshirt that Paul bought for Danielle after taking her to dinner on a Wednesday night. The day of the week made it a surprise. The sweatshirt was an Army sweatshirt because Paul went to West Point and was taking Danielle to her first Army/Navy game. She said YES!

Danielle loves that Paul is protective, intelligent, and helpful to the point of making every situation feel easier to deal with. Paul loves that Danielle is easy to talk to, intelligent, and challenges him. Together, they enjoy working out, running, hiking, watching sports, traveling and of course, being together.

Danielle grew up in the Tampa area and has always loved St. Pete Beach and the Don Cesar. Most of Paul's family and friends and a lot of Danielle's extended family and friends live up north so they also thought it would be a great vacation weekend for everyone.

On the day of the wedding, Paul wore a midnight blue tux that was custom made for the wedding. Danielle wore a beautiful gown that had a moscato lining that shimmers in the light. The reception space was decorated with floral centerpieces, chandeliers and blue uplighting all around.

It was truly and honor to be part of such a gorgeous wedding, congratulations to the newly weds!

TRACEY AND TOM FEATURED IN THE LIMELIGHT | SIRATA BEACH RESORT | ST. PETERSBURG , FL

July 25, 2017

Tracey and Tom had a lovely summer wedding on St. Petersburg beach at the Sirata Beach Resort. Friends and family, local and from afar, traveled in to join these two in their exchange of vows overlooking the beautiful gulf of Mexico. Guests then joined these two in a rocking celebration with tunes by the Tom Sartori Band. These two met back in 2011 in Knoxville, TN. While vacationing in Tortola, BVI, Tom and Tracey were at a beautiful restaurant called BananaKeet, and they asked a couple to take their picture with the sunset, and as Tracey was admiring the sunset, Tom gave the phone to the couple, and Tracey turned back around, and Tom popped the question, and Tracey said yes! :) Together they enjoy watching/going to college football games, golfing, eating, drinking, traveling, going to the beach, and working out. Being that Tracey is a Florida girl and they love vacationing at the beach, Sirata Beach Resort was the perfect location for these two. It was beautiful working with Tracey and her husband Tom on their wedding day, especially since Tracey and I went to high school together! It was so neat to capture these memories. Congratulations to the newlyweds! : )
