Kristen + Steven Step Into The Limelight | MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS ST. PETERSBURG | ST. PETERSBURG, FL

Steven and Kristen met in October of 2017. Kristen was volunteering at a charity golf tournament at Innisbrook and Steven was playing in the tournament.They spent the evening talking at the after party and the rest is history! Kristen loves how Steven always has the ability to make her laugh and how he is always up for an adventure. Steven loves how Kristen is so comfortable to be around.They love traveling, hiking, trying new restaurants, cooking, skiing, and just spending time together.

Steven proposed during a planned a trip for Kristen’s 40th Birthday at Glacier National Park.They were on their 6th mile, hiking near Iceberg Lake and enjoying the beautiful scenery when Steven asked Kristen to marry him. Kristen was so shocked and happy, and the view made it even more majestic and so special.

Kristen and Steven chose to get married at the Museum of Fine Arts in downtown St Petersburg, Florida because they wanted to get married where they fell in love. St Petersburg hosted many of their first dates and it was important to Kristen and Steven to share their love and city with their family and friends.

Congratulations Kristen and Steven!

Kristen + Eric Step Into The Limelight | Museum of Fine Arts | St. Petersburg, FL

Kristen + Eric met on a snowy night in Cape Cod, Massachusetts in 2012 and have been on many adventures together ever since. Whether it is snowboarding, cliff jumping, kayaking, hiking, they both have SO much fun together! In true adventurous fashion, Eric proposed to Kristen in a living treehouse in Burlington, Vermont! 

Recently, Kristen + Eric have started a new chapter of their lives by moving to Florida. When Kristen + Eric were deciding where to have their wedding they decided that they wanted their family to experience Florida’s tropical atmosphere, as well as, having their guests embark on an adventure of their own. It just so happens that the weather this time of year is perfect for vacations….and weddings, so there was no better time to showcase their new hometown! 

On their wedding day, the weather was perfect and with a slight breeze ensuring that their northern guests did not get too hot. The ceremony atmosphere at the Museum of Fine Arts’ garden gave a little bit of ‘old Florida’ charm as well as classic elegance. When the ceremony came to conclusion and Kristen + Eric turned to their guests to be announced as husband and wife, their guests erupted in the most exciting and heartfelt moment I have ever experienced. It was a true celebration of love!

Congratulations on becoming Mr. and Mrs. Eric + Kristen, you are one of the sweetest couples I have ever met ♥️
