Alyssa + Luke Step Into The Limelight | SUNKEN GARDENS | ST. PETERSBURG, FL

Meet the sweetest couple…
Alyssa & Luke made us smile and cry our eyes out on their wedding day 🥰 Just being able to witness the way they looked at each other, melted our hearts completely.
Alyssa & Luke met in undergrad as interns at a mental health hospital (I believe it was LOVE at first sight for Alyssa).
After dating and getting to know each other Luke proposed to Alyssa on a private felucca ride on the Nile in Cairo at sunset, perfectly romantic!
Their wedding day was pure joy and absolutely stunning in every way. From the bright and vivid flowers to the one-of-a-kind custom wedding cake filled with sugar flowers, to the thoughtful table numbers with descriptions of unique and elegant flowers… everything had a purpose.
Just the simple fact that we could feel the love between these two… made our hearts full!
We wish both Alyssa & Luke a lifetime of happiness and many more adventures together. Cheers to a beautiful couple!

Maureen + Thomas Step Into The Limelight | Bakers Ranch | Parrish, FL

Ohh these two!
Maureen & Thomas met on a dating site… (thank goodness for technology!) and have been laughing together ever since…
We just LOVE how they truly enjoy being together, Maureen & Thomas were glued to each other on their wedding day. They also enjoy hiking, bike riding, vacationing, watching movies and relaxing together. Their wedding day was laid back and filled with emotional moments, did you see Thomas’ reaction as Maureen walked down the aisle? Such a “moment” ♥️
Have you ever had tacos at a wedding? Well, Maureen & Thomas did and it was a hit! I mean, who doesn’t love tacos? 🌮 It was such a great day… so much fun! So many beautiful and sweet moments and through it all, Maureen & Thomas were authentically themselves and enjoyed every moment… we wish Maureen & Thomas so many more amazing moments together and so much more fun together!

Jocelyn + Jason Step Into The Limelight | Sandpearl Resort | Clearwater Beach, FL

Jocelyn & Jason met in St. Petersburg, FL in 2020 (the greatest year, am I right?!)

Jason then proposed to Jocelyn one afternoon at home when they were just hanging out with their newly adopted puppy. 

Jason loves that Jocelyn is a very caring person who loves their pets. Jocelyn is career driven and an independent woman. Jocelyn loves that Jason is very patient, caring and a pleasure to be around. They always have a great time time together. Both Jocelyn & Jason enjoy traveling, going to the movies and the dog beach 🐶

Their wedding was pure classic! It was simple and bright with lots of white flowers throughout… we loved watching these two tie the knot with a beautiful sand ceremony, where the couple take sand from their individual vessels and combine the grains into one. The act represents the joining of two individuals and the creation of a new union and family. Jocelyn & Jason also incorporated the unity candle ceremony which symbolize the joining of their families, the merging of two individuals, the creation of a blended family.

Their entire day was pure joy and filed with lots of love! We wish Jocelyn & Jason many many more memorable and beautiful years together 🥂

Jessica + Cameron Step Into The Limelight | Sunken Gardens | St. Petersburg, FL

Jessica & Cameron were both pursuing careers in medicine and needed experience in the medical field. To enter the field they needed to become EMT's. On the first day of the program, Cameron sat next to Jessica and they began talking from there…
On a modern twist, Jessica proposed to Cameron, she planned to do something romantic at Sunken Gardens on Valentines Day but Cameron is a homebody. He said instead he wanted to stay in, get some pizza, drink some white claws and watch a movie. Jessica proposed in the most unromantic way possibly, after he returned from a pee brake during the movie. She panicked! lol
Jessica & Cameron both appreciate each others drive, passion and work ethic but also have a great time whenever they are together (we can contest to that!). They enjoy watching shows/movies together such as House of the Dragon, enjoy traveling together and sharing gross/exciting medical storied.
Cameron loves botany and Jessica visited the Sunken Gardens a few years ago for Mothers Day. They both liked the idea of guests being able to roam the gardens during the reception. On their wedding day… it was a crisp cold and windy day but it was a perfect! We could ALL feel the love they have for each other, we just LOVED watching them enjoy their day with their loved ones.
We are so happy for these two and we wish both Jessica & Cameron a lifetime filled with fun, adventure and so much LOVE!

Abigail + Patrick Step Into The Limelight | Pass-a-Grille Beach

The skies were clear and the weather was absolutely perfect at pass-a-grill beach. Abigail and Patrick looked stunning and in love as the sun started to set on the beach. The passion this couple has for either other is magical you can see it in their eyes as they laughed and smiled together.
