Dominique + Matthew Step Into The Limelight | Sandpearl Resort | Clearwater Beach, FL

Happy, love, fun, memorable!

Dominique + Matt met in 2015 when they were both working at MGM Grand Casino Marketing (Matt) & Social Events (Dom). This sweet couple is very supportive of each other, loves each other’s sense of humor and share the same values. Together they love being travel partners and the mini family they have built with Winnie & Krewella (their fur babies). Matt proposed with a custom scrapbook of all of their adventures together on the beach in Florida - inspiration from the movie “Up”.

Dom and Matt enjoy attending baseball games (any sporting events really) together, bar hopping, traveling, playing Yahtzee in their backyard with their fur babies, going to the beach and boating.

Their wedding was a fun, loving bad-*ss party including glow sticks, a mash up of songs and great food.

Dom and Matt love the water and travel to Florida at least once a year. Their first trip to Florida was to Clearwater! Inspiration for their wedding location at The Sandpearl came from the views of the water with the beach as the background. And the theme was to be classy and include bright colors. Dom was originally looking for a flown beach dress & fell in love with something completely opposite. It was fun and “lax” with a banging after party once the traditional parts are over. The best part of the day was the beautiful sunset, late night bites, glow sticks, overall background of the entire day and having their fur babies with them!

Kirsten + Jackson Step Into The Limelight | Isla del Sol Yacht & Country Club | St. Petersburg, FL

ohh people… you have got to het to know this ahhhmazing couple!

Kirsten & Jackson ♥️

How/when did you meet each other:: We met in 2015 in Pittsburgh during Kirsten's senior year at the University of Pittsburgh through pure fate. Jackson's groomsman, Alex Baker, was dating (now engaged) to Kirsten's Maid of Honor, Cori Plesko (then college roommate), and Jackson was recently stationed at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base about 3 hours away in Ohio. Baker was in Pittsburgh visiting Cori, and invited Jackson out to visit... After that weekend, Jackson just kept visiting Pittsburgh to see Kirsten…

How did he propose:: Jackson was at Air Force Reserves training in Biloxi, MS in the summer of 2020. Kirsten LOVES the beach and visited for Labor Day weekend along the gulf coast. We had an private sunset dinner cruise Thursday, woke up Friday for a long sunrise run together, enjoyed the beach during the day, took out jet skis, surf and turf dinner, and finished with a sunset walk on a secluded beach with an amazing view where we came across a blanket, champagne and Jackson dropped a knee.

What do you love about each other:: Kirsten is driven, smart, and constantly challenges me to become a better person. Jackson is selfless, loyal, loving and my best friend who brightens my days constantly.

Interests/hobbies you enjoy doing together:: Running, hiking, kayaking, brewery hopping, traveling to new places, watching movies

When I tell you… I instantly feel in love with these people! Yes… whole truth! The are sincere, kind, sweet, caring, loving… all that oouuie goouiie stuff! Yes! These two and their families. Their wedding day didn’t go as planned due to an unexpected Florida storm but that didn’t even faze them… they laughed they danced and true enjoyed every single moment of their day with the people they love. 

We are honored to have been a part of Kirsten & Jackson’s love journey and we wish both ALL good things in ALL they do. Cheers to an amazing, I mean ahhhmazing couple!

Shannon + Ryan Step Into The Limelight | Bellwether Beach Resort | St. Pete Beach, FL

Shannon and Ryan were a dream to photograph. These two kept smiles on their faces throughout the entire day in the face of rain and wind. No matter how hard the weather tried to bring them down, they kept glowing and enjoying each other’s company along with their family and friends at the beautiful St. John Vianney Catholic Church as well as the stunning Bellwether Beach Resort. Their vows to each other, capped off by Ryan’s introduction speech at the reception spoke to the love they hold for one another and how it is stronger than any challenges they may face. Although the rain kept us indoors, they are stunning subjects to photograph and that is evident in all the portraits we were able to take around the church and reception venue throughout the night. Their first dance was one to remember as they struck a beautiful dip that wowed the entire audience, and it translated into one of the most active dance floors in recent memory for me. This couple knows how to have fun and look amazing while doing so and I am so happy I was able to be a part of their special day.

Maryann + Matt Step Into The Limelight | Casa De La Geiger | Odessa, FL

Comfortable, loved, free, excited! 

Maryann and Matt are best friends, they make each other laugh and they  support each other.  They love hunting, traveling and playing golf together. Together they have three beautiful children. They originally met at a party in 2002ish, and Mat proposed on Christmas morning in 2008.  

They were married in a quick ceremony in a judge’s chambers on Valentines day several 11 years ago - so they stuck with black, wine, and blush pink colors for their big wedding celebration! Everything was classy rustic chic. The best parts of the day included the exchange of vows, dancing with each there and their parents and the speeches. 

Their whole wedding was unique. They did not stick to traditional styles and truly made their day unique to them. They even custom-crafted and built their own tables and arch!

Kathleen + James Step Into The Limelight | Sunken Gardens | St. Petersburg, FL

Okay ya’ll… word of the day “fun!” Kathleen is hilarious and we literally laughed all day! Jimmy is a whole vibe… calm, cool and collected. These two compliment each other perfectly and I am just happy I was able to be a part of their wedding day. Their wedding day was classy, boho chic with elegant touches all around… Kathleen’s bouquet has to be one of my personal favorites, from the white roses, to the white orchids to the feathers (simply breathtaking) and Jimmy’s super smooth suede shoes (classic)! It was all pure perfection.

Sunken Gardens is like an oasis in the middle of the city in St. Pete, it was the perfect backdrop for Kathleen & Jimmy’s day. (ps. Kathleen LOVES plants and I am here for it!) We witnessed so much LOVE throughout the day, we could not be happier for these two and we truly wish them both ALL that is good!

Enjoy married life ❤︎
