Michele + Jim Step Into The Limelight | Sandpearl Resort | Clearwater Beach, FL

October 18, 2018

Such a fun couple! We LOVED spending time with Michele & Jim on their wedding day.

They know how to love! We all felt it… their guests were all “let in” Michele & Jim made sure to spoke to each guest and hugged their necks. It was a sixth to see!

Michele & Jim, enjoy racing, hockey, their harley rides and travel time… but most of all, they enjoy each other’s company. Each look, each smile, each gesture was so genuine and filled with deeply rooted love.

They planned for a beach ceremony but what they got was an unexpected last minute change a plans, but did that effect anything? Not at all! They smiled their way through and recited their vows inside as the rain poured outside. This did not seem to phase them… they just went along and their love shined through beautifully.

The skies eventually did clear way and we were able to grab some sunset pictures for Michele & Jim by the water.

They all danced the night away and had a blast making new memories together.

We are so happy to have been a part of such an incredible day with Michele & Jim, ALL the best to you!

Megan + Ed Step Into The Limelight | Seagate Hotel & Spa + Seagate Country Club | Delray Beach, FL

October 15, 2018

Megan & Ed met each other at the University of Florida at a dental school and nursing school social. They enjoyed a couple of drinks and danced the night away, only to meet each other the next day for breakfast {the rest, they say is history!}

Instantly we began to see the love these two share for each other. Megan is the sweetest thing ever! She is so genuine, delicate, caring and just a joy to be around. Ed is a true gentleman and cares for others in every way. Their wedding reflected ALL of those attributes as we witnessed Megan & Ed interact with each other, family and friends. It was such a delight to be a part of their day!

When I asked why they selected The Seagate Hotel & Spa and The Seagate Country Club, their answer was so selfless… they wanted a location everyone could enjoy, not only during the wedding day but also the entire weekend with different activities and great restaurants around. They made sure their guests felt welcome, comfortable and a part of the family.

With that in mind, their entire day was impeccable! Beautifully planned and executed by Your Special Day by Joni and her team and we ALL felt at ease and were able to truly enjoy each moment. I love when I can look back and say, “they truly enjoyed their wedding day” We all felt it, we were all living such great moments together. From the getting ready to the glow sticks send off… it was all elegant, meaningful and fun!

Megan & Ed, thank you so much for having us and allowing us to be a part of such a memorable day! We wish you both ALL the best life can bring,

Hanni + Brian Step Into The Limelight | Zota Beach Resort | Longboat Key, FL

October 15, 2018

Hanni and Brian were introduced by a friend/co-worker. They immediately hit it off and began dating. At the time, Brian lived in Virginia Beach so he would drive up every other weekend for a whole year until he moved up to Northern Virginia. In mid May, Brian put a ring on a crawfish claw on a plate of crawfish and proposed to the love of his life, Hanni. They absolutely love spending time together and enjoy each other’s friendship. Together, they fly fish, enjoy bike rides, walk their two labs and enjoy traveling.

This wonderful couple got married at the Zota Beach Resort in Long Boat Key FL. Their beautiful ceremony was held on the beach. Hanni looked spectacular in her white wedding gown as her father walked her down to meet Brian who was so excitedly waiting for her. This was definitely a moment to remember since her father had recently had a couple complications but he made it down the aisle to give her away.

After this heartwarming ceremony, the new weds joined their friends and family to celebrate their love for each other inside one of the resorts banquet halls.

Amanda + James Step Into The Limelight | The Florida Aquarium | Tampa, FL

October 15, 2018

In 2014, James was finishing up his residency and Amanda was working as a nurse on the orthopedic unit at a hospital in St. Petersburg. James initiated their friendship at work by coming to where Amanda’s unit to bring her coffee and conversation. They both seemed to work off the same humor and it was effortless to make one another laugh. One day James worked up the courage to ask Amanda for her phone number. They went on several dates and James swept Amanda off her feet!

James proposed to Amanda after taking her out to a romantic dinner at Armani’s. They came home and Amanda went to pet their dog Stella when she discovered that James had placed an engagement ring around her collar. When James saw that she noticed the ring, he got down on one knee while holding Stella and asked Amanda to marry him! What made it even more memorable was that The University of Florida baseball team won the College World Series National Championship! They are huge Gators fans…so they celebrated their engagement with champagne, laughs, love, and a National Championship!

James and Amanda originally planned on getting married on Duck Key in The Florida Keys, however, Hurricane Irma damaged their wedding venue and they were forced to relocate. James and Amanda love sea life, so after touring The Florida Aquarium they knew it was where they wanted to say their wedding vows.

Congratulations Amanda + James we are very excited for this new chapter in your lives together as husband and wife!

MEAGAN + BARRY STEP INTO THE LIMELIGHT | THE FLORIDA AQUARIUM | TAMPA, FL

April 7, 2018

Meagan and Barry were married in a beautiful ceremony and reception at the Florida Aquarium! Meagan had always dreamed of having her wedding at the aquarium surrounded by the sparkling turquoise waters and sea life of the coral reef tank for her ceremony and a reception designed with blue lighting and dendrobium orchids, which were the perfect compliment to the color palette of the space! The couple said their vows and exchanged rings in front of the majestic under sea tank accompanied by fish, sharks and sea turtles and celebrated in the new Mosaic ballroom with their closest friends and family! Their daughter Sydney was so sweet as the flower girl and I am happy that we were able to capture a few loving moments between her and her parents on this special day! I loved the romantic moments we photographed of the newlyweds together backdropped by the water and in the rock windows of the wetlands! I loved the energy of the reception as the happy couple celebrated and the fun sparkler send off from their guests! Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Rome!
