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

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!

Karen + Christian Step Into The Limelight | St. Mary Our Lady Of Grace Church | Isla Del Sol Yacht and Country Club | St. Petersburg, FL

Kae + Christian met each other six years ago while attending medical school. They didn’t expect to fall in love because they were always very busy eating out, studying, and sleeping, but they did. Kae and Christian have worked very hard to get where they are. Originally from the Philippines, they worked tirelessly through college and surprised their family with their engagement.

This couple lives in the northern U.S. but wanted to have a destination wedding. The part of their wedding day that they looked forward to the most was their beautiful ceremony at Saint Mary Our Lady of Grace Catholic Church. It provided such a special moment as I had the privilege of listening to their family rejoice with the lord and sing hymn’s, blessing Kae + Christian on their wedding day. Once the ceremony concluded, their family was whisked off to Isla Del Sol Yacht & Country Club to relax and dance the night away in a private yacht club and beach atmosphere.

Kae + Christian compliment each other very well, and I am so excited to see what the future holds for you. Congratulations!

Michelle + Jayson Step Into The Limelight | Town Manor on the Lake B&B | Auburndale, FL

Jayson’s brother, Ricky, introduced this couple to each other. Michelle didn’t want to date a friend’s brother…but…they met and clicked right away! This chill couple is very laid back and enjoys weekends with each other and their kids.  They enjoy UFC, food, and just spending time together.

Jayson and Michelle had dinner reservations at Ciros in Tampa. Michelle had a feeling “it” would happen at dinner. Jayson gave her a few small gifts prior to leaving and the last “gift” was Michelle looking up to him on his knee with a beautiful ring asking for her hand in marriage!

Jayson says about Michelle, “I love her eyes and smile. I love how fun she is. I love watching her with my girls and how caring she is. She’s stunning. She makes me feel very special.” Michelle says about Jayson, “I love how comfortable we’ve been since day one. He’s so smart, makes me laugh and is incredibly handsome. He makes me feel beautiful and loved every single day. He’s my person.”

Jayson and Michelle loved the feeling of Town Manor when they toured the venue. It offered both the indoor and outdoor ambiance they were looking for.  “A great place with attention to detail.” Their rustic yet elegant  wedding was a relaxed day for everyone. They forgo traditional formal activities so their guests could just come, eat, listen to good music and celebrate! There were tapes style foods freely flowing throughout the evening while guests drank, had fun and partied! The couple loved spending time with their besties and family. Having them there for their special day was amazing. Michelle could not wait to say , “I do” with Jayson. His face when she walk down the isle was filled with love and excitement.

TINA AND NICK FEATURED IN THE LIMELIGHT | COUNTRYSIDE COUNTRY CLUB | CLEARWATER, FL

On a beautiful day on the beach celebrating the 4th of July these two met. This pairing was a God-send. During the ceremony it was noted that Tina had been looking for someone that was spiritual as Nick was. They were drawn to each other and Nick said this upon their first look ‘I got butterflies all over again like I did the first day we met’ WOW! That moment really set the day! It was a busy one, but between all that they managed to take in moments and enjoy this day that they were bringing a family together. Their son Theo was able to walk down the aisle towards his daddy to make way for his mother escorted by her mother. Although it was a windy day, it was also a beautiful one! We loved the coral and creams that flowed with spring time, but we loved more Tina and Nick. They were so kind with so much flare! These two were hand-picked by God for sure, you can see it by their love and respect for each other, for Theo and all of their family and friends who joined in their celebration!

We just loved these two and here are a few favorites from their big day!
