Erika + Brian Step Into The Limelight | Carrollwood Country Club | Tampa, FL

Erika and Brian first got introduced to each other through a friend they had in common. Their relationship became closer and closer until one day, while at the Rockefeller Christmas Tree in New York City, Brian proposed to Erika. Erika loves how Brian is loving, caring, and admires his strong sense of style. She adores him and how he is a family man, a fireman and a hard worker. Brian loves Erika’s drive, ambition, her work ethic, how beautiful and friendly she is. Together, they are kind and love to help others. They are truly quite the remarkable couple!

On October 20th, Erika and Brian said their I-Do’s at the Carrollwood Country Club on a day that started out with rain. As the day progressed, the clouds let the sunlight shine down and it turned out to be quite a spectacular day! Once pronounced husband and wife, the two happily danced their way into their reception hall which was decorated with a mixture of candles, flowers, a fireman’s axe, chill pill prescription favors and many other little details that reflected their lives.

It was truly an honor to be part of such a wonderful celebration of love. Congratulations to the new mr. and mrs!

Nina + Cyress Step Into The Limelight | The Orlo | Tampa, FL

The sweetest of people, contagious joy, relentless emotions, meaningful traditions and a strong core foundation. All one needs to embark on an unforgettable journey.

Nina & Cyress met at barber school in 2014 and saw themselves in love and full of love to give in Bangkok Thailand as Cyress proposed to Nina.  

Cyress is from Thailand and Nina’s family is from Cuba, their entire wedding day was filled with cultural heritage and traditions, from the groom’s attire to a traditional Thailand dance to the guava treats and cafe con leche during the reception. Witnessing these two families seamlessly embrace each other’s culture was magic 💕

Nina’s vision for her wedding day was a tropical, modern,clean and warm look with wild colors and simple greenery + palms - I think they nailed it! We felt ALL of that! Every little detail was elegant yet easy.

We felt so much love, gentleness and we truly love watching how Nina + Cyress loved on each guest ensuring their gratitude,  it truly was a sight to see {everyone deserves a tight hug from Nina!}

Thank you to the Madera + Kagwast for families for having us be a part of such a special day for Nina + Cyress - Thank you!  We pray that ALL you do be guided in love and may all of you ever dreamt come true.

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

LAURA AND HECTOR FEATURED IN THE LIMELIGHT | PALMA CEIA GOLF AND COUNTRY CLUB| TAMPA , FL |

I joined Laura and Hector on one of their most precious days alongside their family and friends and I could not be any more in awe on how beautiful, and how full of energy their wedding day was.

Setting was in the city of Tampa - Epicurean Hotel was where Hector, our groom, found himself starting his day while Laura, started her day off in the most beautiful private home within Tampa. They both got ready alongside their close family and wedding party who were there to help set the positive mood for the day to come. Once ready, we all headed over to the Palma Ceia Golf and Country Club where both Laura and Hector walked down the flower filled aisle to the sound of Trombones to say their vows to one another. A balloon ceremony marked the union of the now one family and a kiss between the bride and groom marked the moment in which they officially became husband and wife. To celebrate, the amazing ballroom at the Palma Ceia was decorated in white and pink florals, gold rose linens and beautiful golden details. Chandeliers and candles lit the embellished tables where their loved ones would sit to enjoy their dinner and the time together. Dance time came around and the atmosphere was full of laughter and joy with the very catchy and soulful sound of Latin music played by quite a spectacular Band! Hora Loca came around and dancers in full, colorful costumes came out to join the family to dance the night away. What an incredible wedding it was! – and what a pleasure it was to be able to celebrate and capture Laura’s and Hector’s wedding. Congratulations to the newlyweds! Wish both of you the best of the best in life!
