John and Staysi

Staysi and John sure know how to throw a party! We had an amazing time with this couple and their family and friends at the Turtle Creek Country Club in Tequesta. The weather was beautiful  and provided an incredible backdrop for the couple’s first look as well as their vows and we were blessed with a gorgeous sunset. Staysi had planned multiple surprises for her guests including special dances with her mom and dad. Guests also wasted no time getting their groove on. From beginning to end, it was an amazing day filled with romance and love. Thank you for including us on your wedding day, Staysi and John! Congratulations!

Zach and Sarah

Gator fans to the max traded in everything traditional for everything unique, suprising, and fun! The bride was dressed by her grandmothers and did two touching first looks with her parents and then her bridesmaids. She was escorted down the aisle by her dad, but was preceded by her adorable daughter Maddy and her “Ring Security Guard” grandfather and “Flower girl” grandmothers. Later, at her garter removal, she removed it from her husband Zach, who then attached it to their personalized football to throw it to the single men. They had choreographed dances for their first dance, father/ daughter dance, and as a surprise at the end of the night an almost 5 minute choreographed dance with the bride and all the bridesmaids to so many fun tunes. The hootin’ and hollerin’ could be heard all over Tampa Bay! It was truly an event of a lifetime. We wish you both the best as your family and love continues to grow!

Ryan and Melanie

We met Melanie at a bridal show through the coaxing of her sister and mom, she relented to even having a photographer at wedding and we were certainly glad she did! From the subtle peacock details to her picture perfect smile, we enjoyed documenting her day of tears, laughs, shenanigans! The entire family’s love for one another was overwhelming and we loved being part of it.

Chris and Johnna

A small intimate ceremony on Indian Rocks Beach followed by a dinner at the groom’s mom’s house was exactly what this couple hoped for. They were surrounded by their family as they said their vows on a miraculously beautiful June evening. The skies opened just in time for Johnna’s short walk from the beach condo where she was getting ready to the white sandy aisle where Chris was waiting. They were showered with the beautiful sun and were blessed with an amazing sunset. As soon as the sun kissed the water, Chris and his new bride were headed to a very romantic reception for a wonderful evening of food and dancing.

David and Brande

It was a beautiful day at the Safety Harbor Spa when we met up with the bride. Brande was calm and cool and getting ready to meet her Fiance for the last time before he became her husband for their first look. The minutes flew by as her parents we given precious gifts and saw their baby girl transform into a beautiful bride. The “first look” took place beside a bubbling fountain and David was clearly waiting with anticipation. Brande and David’s family and bridal party stood to the wayside anxiously awaiting their arrival for pictures then to head to the alter, at Ruth Eckard Hall. As the guests gathered, the wind blew a nice breeze and David made his way to the alter. Brande was proudly escorted by her father to begin the beautiful ceremony where she soon became a wife. The new Mr. and Mrs. put on a wonderful party and ended the night with the lighting of Chinese Lanterns.
