Haley + Russell Step Into The Limelight | Sirata Beach Resort | St. Petersburg, FL

Haley and Russell met in 2016 through a mutual friend and they’ve been together since April of 2016. Exactly one year later, Haley and Russell were officially engaged—there wasn’t a “grand proposal”, but rather the two of them designed her ring together. So sweet!

These two are so fun. Haley and Russell love riding Harleys and going on adventures. For their grand adventure, they came down to St. Pete Beach from upstate New York to tie the knot!

Their Sirata wedding was stunning. With their reception space designed by the bride and Melanie from Chantilly Chic Celebrations, it radiated boho elegance. Also, their reception spot overlooked the beach, so guests got to watch the sun go down on the white sandy beach.

Congratulations to Haley & Russell!  Your wedding day was beautiful and we are so glad we got to be apart of it!

Tamiko + David Step Into The Limelight | Lido Beach Resort | Sarasota, FL

OMG! How we LOVE these two!

Their entire day was so emotional and absolutely perfect.

Tamiko & David met on Tinder back in 2016… and they are writing a beautiful love story together.

They love their ability to be on the same team and love each other unconditionally ❤︎

Tamiko & David enjoy going out to eat, movies, going to the beach, spending time together.

Their wedding day truly was an intimate gathering of family and friends, a beautiful beach ceremony, simple but chic followed by a joyous celebration of music food and dancing.

We love how they incorporated a Filipino tradition into the ceremony with the Chord Ceremony (wedding lasso) and during their reception they danced the night away with Caribbean music which was just what their guests needed. 

We truly wish ALL the best for Tamiko & David and hope for many more dance parties with theist loved in their future (these people can dance!). So much fun!

Cheers to an amazing couple.

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

Michelle and Garrett met at Florida State University. Right after Michelle graduated with her Masters degree, they took a vacation to Hilton Head, SC with their new puppy Westcott. Their vacation was planned to last a week and were visiting family in Raleigh NC and friends in Atlanta GA. Sunday night when they arrived in Hilton Head Michelle and Garret went to the beach for a picnic dinner. Right as Garrett was getting ready to propose on the beach, it began to RAIN! Their puppy went crazy, the beach got windy, and they had to scramble to pack up our picnic and run to the car. The entire time Michelle was oblivious but Garrett was panicking about the ring loose in his pocket. Once they got back to the Air B&B they watched one of the final episodes of their favorite show, Game of Thrones, and while were enjoying some chocolate lava cake in PJs, Garrett got down on one knee and popped the question! It was simple, intimate, and perfect.

Michelle loves Garrett’s sense of humor, competitiveness, and his grilling. Garrett loves Michelle’s infectious smile, positive attitude, and her cooking. Together, they enjoy Hiking, Cooking, Music festivals, listening to podcasts/audiobooks, taking care of their puppy, and watch all things marvel, harry potter, and Disney!

Both being from South Florida, they chose to have their beautiful wedding at Isla Del Sol. They loved the relaxing private beach and knew this is a place their guest would enjoy.

Their wedding day was Romanic, beachy, relaxing and elegant. It was a true celebration of their love, family and friends. This gorgeous couple also loved getting their photos taken so it was truly such a great time with them with some of the most epic shots captured! From first look under the gazebo, to the sparkler exit at the end, everything was simply beautiful!

We are so happy for you Michelle and Garrett! Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs!!!
