Morgan + Michael Step Into The Limelight | Sirata Beach Resort | St. Pete Beach, FL

Morgan & Michael are high school sweethearts ♥️
Michael asked Morgan to be his date at his junior formal when she was a sophomore in high school and they have been together ever since! They have been together for 11 years.

How did he propose:: It was my birthday weekend, a few months after we bought our first home and we were getting ready for dinner. I knew he was up to something (he is a very very bad liar) and I thought he was planning to have all my friends and family surprise me for my birthday. Well I was wrong! We were about to leave for dinner and he proposed in our living room, just the two of us and our dog Gracie and it was perfect. I always knew I wanted it to be private and just the two of us.

What do you love about each other:: Michael motivates me to be the best version of myself. He makes me laugh and smile everyday. He's caring, funny and always wants what is best for me. I love how much we have grown together over the years and our amazing life that we built together.

Michael loves how happy I make him and all of the memories that we made together and is looking forward to making more memories as husband and wife.

Interests/hobbies you enjoy doing together:: Going to the beach, taking our dog Gracie for walks, playing tennis, traveling and making memories together!

Morgan & Michael’s wedding day was simple, beachy, boho, classic and oh so romantic! St.Pete Beach is where they went on their first vacation together many years ago. Since then they have been back many times and have made some of their favorite memories. Morgan & Michael couldn't imagine getting married anywhere else. Most (if not all) of Morgan & Michael’s family & friends traveled to Florida from New Jersey! And what a fun group of people they are! They laughed, they danced and made many new beautiful memories together.

We just LOVED seeing their love shine through and just how beautifully they love each other.

We wish Morgan & Michael all good things! Cheers to a beautiful couple!

Rachel + Samuel Step Into The Limelight | Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach Resort And Spa | Clearwater Beach, FL

 

You know the saying “if it is meant to be, it will happen”? A few years ago, Sam met this girl named Rachel at a work beach party. They spent the entire day together but unfortunately, it didn’t go anywhere. However, those closest to them claim to just “know” a match had been made. During 2020, Sam moved into the apartment next to Rachel and they have been inseparable ever since.

Rachel and Sam love spending time outside in the sunshine, learning to cook, catching up on their favorite Netflix shows and spending quality time with their loved ones.

The couple said their “I Dos” at the beautiful Hyatt Clearwater. Even though the rain decided to make a visit, nothing could put a damper on this couple’s day. Surrounded by love and joy from their closest family and friends, Sam and Rachel consistently had a smile on their face. We loved being a part of their day! Congrats to the Youngermans!

Lisa + Marco Step Into The Limelight | Don CeSar Hotel | St. Petersburg, FL

A couple of seasons ago, Lisa and Marco bonded over their love for black and gold.They fell in love and Marco proposed to Lisa at the halftime of a Steelers Game. She said “YES!” and the rest is history.

Because of COVID, this couple had to plan their wedding three times.You could say that three times is the charm because their wedding day was stunning! They were married on St. Pete Beach with the historic Don Cesar in the background and surrounded by loved ones.

This couple is SO SWEET.They love watching football, spending time with friends, traveling and trying new restaurants. If there is anything this couple love more than each other, it is their fur baby, Lily, who almost stole the show as the flower girl.

We loved being a part of this couple’s day! Congrats!

Lee + Nicholas Step Into The Limelight | Laurel Oak Country Club | Sarasota, FL

Lee and Nick met in November of 2012 through mutual friends at a party while on break from college. They started officially dating in August of 2013. In their own words: “I love that we are not just lovers but also friends. We enjoy boating together and quality time with each other but we also enjoy to have fun with our friends without each other.” Nick proposed in the mountains in North Carolina on a family vacation.

Their overall story is one of love. The cheerful wedding was filled with love, yet not traditional at all. The selected Laurel Oak Country Club as their venue because it is so fresh, sharp and clean looking and just had a brand new remodel. They chose a golf course because that is Nicholas' second love.

Special touches included personalized name plates, and a DIY seating chart. The highlight of the ceremony was the reaction of Nicholas when Lee walked down the aisle. The highlight from the reception was the high energy level of the party.

Jillaina + Scott Step Into The Limelight | Lakewood Ranch Golf & Country Club | Lakewood Ranch, FL

We had the wonderful opportunity to be a part of Jillaina and Scott’s special day. Scott lives in Iowa, and Jill lives in Tampa. They happened to have some mutual friends that live in Tampa, and on January 19, 2013 Scott came to town celebrate a birthday of our mutual friend. They met that night - He saw Jill across the room and came running over to say hello. He asked if she would join him for dinner the next day, and Jill politely declined with no interest in getting involved romantically.

The next day, their mutual friend and asked her if she would like to join her for dinner. Jill said yes, and when she got to the restaurant none of her friends were there! But Scott was... they tricked her into having dinner with him. The dinner led into late night bowling, and one of the most fun and perfect nights they’ve ever had. The love was instant, and has never faded!

On the day Scott proposed to Jillaina, Scott took Jill back to the place they had their first dinner and bowling together to recreate their first date. He then asked her to marry him and Jill said yes!

Their wedding day was gorgeous! Glitter, glitz, glam, fun, food, and lots of activities. The venue dripped in crystals and sparkles! From their ceremony site, to the reception hall, everything had glitter, rose gold and just the right touch of sparkle. It was truly a day to remember!
