Juanita & Rick Step Into The Limelight | Lido Beach Resort | Sarasota, FL

Juanita & Rick at at pool party back in 2018 in Cheltenham, PA. After a couple years of dating, Rick proposed to Juanita on her birthday on April 1st in 2021 ♥️
Juanitas’s POV:
I love that Rick is very calm and level headed, slow to anger, very loving and supportive, has a great sense of humor, fun to be with.
Rick’s POV:
I love that we are best friends, she is supportive, beautiful, and easy to talk to, we have a lot in common and enjoy being with each other.
Juanita & Rick both enjoy playing golf, running, lifting weights, traveling, watching movies and tv shows, going to beach, shopping, eating out at restaurants and of course they both LOVE the beach.
Their wedding day was super laid back and oh so romantic, we LOVED watching these two interact with other {they cannot keep their hands off of each other and ohh how we LOVE it!} They both are very sweet and just soooo nice ♥️ they truly made sure to enjoy every single moment to the fullest and we could not be happier for these two beautiful souls.
Thank you Juanita & Rick for having us and for allowing us the honor of capturing your most special day!
We wish you both ALL the best in ALL you do ♥️
ps. Juanita handmade the most fragrant and soft moisturizer for each of her bridesmaids and yes, she made me one as well… soooo sooo good! {and oh so sweet! Thank you so much}.
