{Christina + Arty @Hyatt Clearwater Beach}

Christina and Arty exchanged cards and they both picked out the same exact card without knowing it!! That's definitely a sign it's meant to be:-)  They guys did a special tradition to help Arty get ready, everyone puts something on him, socks, shoes, tie etc.  Christina looked so pretty in her silk organza gown.  They had a big beautiful Greek wedding in Tarpon Springs, I love all the traditions.  Bubbles and exit in a Rolls Royce was their get away car to head to Clearwater Beach.  The food and wine festival happened to be going on right behind the Hyatt so never a dull moment.  Their wedding was earlier in the day so the parasol's she had for the beach photos were perfect.  We had time to do photos of them at different points during the day ending with the beautiful golden light, love it.  The reception was full of happy tearful toasts and lots of dancing.  Congrats to you both!! xoxoxo

{Lauren + Jack @Hyatt Clearwater Beach}

Lauren and Jack's wedding was full of surprises!  The best one came last:-)  Lauren had a beautiful broach bouquet made and surprised her mom with a matching one for her mom as well.  Lauren is a veterinarian, and even had little jeweled paws included on it.  Jack's gift to Lauren was an engraved Tiffany's ring holder. Instead of 6 pence in her shoe, Lauren had a penny from the year her mom was born and one from the year she was born in her cowbow boots:-)  They are from PA and definitely some die hard Steelers Fans!  After their first announcement as man and wife, they were official with the waving of the terrible towel.  It was a beautiful sunset on Clearwater Beach with soft pink and gold light.  The reception was draped in deep purple with patterned linens, tall and short centerpieces, and along with the fantastic cuisine, the most dessert choices ever.  Lauren's dad gave a very special speech and instead of a dance did something totally different!  The best surprise I left for last, Lauren and Jack had no idea their parents were surprising them with a fireworks display on the beach.  All of us who knew were trying so hard to make sure it stayed a secret and they pulled it off!  Congrats Lauren and Jack it was amazing!! xoxoxo

{Michelle + Ricardo @Hyatt Clearwater Beach Resort and Spa}

We had the perfect day for Michelle and Ricardo's wedding on the 16th floor sky terrace.  I love that location for wedding ceremonies because you can see the bay, the gulf, and the sand!  Michelle had custom hangers for all her girls, it's a little detail but makes the dresses look so much nicer when we hang them for pictures.  I always notice all the details and Michelle added a lot of little ones that really brought everything together.  She looked gorgeous in her gown and with the beaded belt, hint of beads on her veil and sparkly broach on her flowers she was ready to meet Ricardo at the end of the asile!!  Michelle and Ricardo have been together for 8 years and known each other since high school!  Karen, their officiant told the story of how her first asked her out:-)  Their vows, some of the sweetest I have EVER heard, you could feel the joy and love for each other in their voices as they promised them to each other.  Michelle's grandfather couldn't be there, but thanks to Facetime he got to see the ceremony and say congratulations to them afterwards.  Sylense caught that special moment.  The colors were eggplant with ivory, and light green.  The reception look amazing with draping and uplighting.  The centerpieces also had draping around them as well.  Michelle added a little bit of the beach with tiny corals that the escort cards were resting on along with coral wine corks for their guests to take home.  Dancing, cake, toasts, and such a fun party!!!  It was so amazing to be a part of thank you for allowing us to capture it!!  xoxoxox
