Marissa + Walker Step Into The Limelight | The Ringling | Sarasota, FL

Marissa met Walker in 2015 at college orientation. Years later, Walker took Marissa to St. Augustine to go restaurant hopping. While taking a walk along the historic forts, he surprised Marissa by getting down on one knee.

Marissa loves how adventurous, brave, and confident Walker is. He pushes her to be her best and to never settle. She loves his smile and laugh which lights up her heart. He inspires her to step outside of my comfort zone and to truly enjoy life to the fullest. Most of all, she loves his love of God.

Walker loves Marissa's strength and persistence. He loves her beauty. He loves her faith in the Lord. He loves her humility, and compassion for all people.

Walker is a pilot so it only makes sense that they LOVE traveling. They are also foodies and love trying new hot spots. They are huge lover’s of art (Ringling, hello?), movies, board games, rollercoasters and learning new things. 

Marissa and Walker said their “I Do’s” at the elegant Ringling,  surrounded by so many loving and supportive friends and family.

Congrats!

Shannon + Kevin Step Into The Limelight | Tropical Breeze Resort | Siesta Key, FL

We absolutely loved being a part of Shannon and Kevin’s big day.  They were married in Siesta Key (their second favorite place) and surrounded with love. The couple met four years ago, on the dance floor of  Traders and has been dancing together ever since. 

Kevin original proposal plans did not go as planned due to a late arrival of the ring. However, things happened just like they were mean to be because he ended up popping the question to Shannon in New Smyrna Beach, where the couple originally met! In the words of Shannon, “it was perfect”.

Shannon and Kevin are some of the most generous souls and love surprising each other with acts of gratitude. They share a love for 60s-70s country music, rock and roll, traveling, boating and spending time with loved ones. Oh, and they do cherish their Friday night Winn Dixie runs. 

Their wedding day was a classic beach wedding and filled with joy and love. Congrats, Mr. and Mrs. Ward!
