The Vinoy

“We wanted our wedding to feel elegant, classic, and timeless. We chose shades of forest green, blush pink, and white. Our floral selection perfectly matched the natural beauty of St. Pete, and we were so impressed with how the team brought the vision to life!” -The Groom

FEATURING

Sean and Cameron’s classic downtown St. Pete wedding was a chic October celebration filled with neutral flora and greenery, timeless decor, and a plethora of personal details. The Nashville grooms exchanged vows in an outdoor garden surrounded by their 114 closest friends and family before hosting an elegant reception in a historic resort ballroom.

“Our wedding brought friends from all across the country and from all different stages in our lives,” the groom revealed. “Our favorite part of the wedding weekend was running into our guests at The Vinoy who were enjoying a morning coffee or an afternoon cocktail on the veranda, soaking up the sun at the resort pool, or grabbing lunch in the cafe. It felt like our home away from home and helped us frequently connect with guests throughout the busy weekend.”

The Proposal

“After three years of dating, Cameron tricked Sean into thinking they were doing repairs at his downtown condo. Instead, Cameron took Sean through a walk at Bicentennial Mall, an outdoor park near the state capitol, and popped the question. After a few photos, they enjoyed lunch and a champagne toast (or three) at Butchertown Hall, at the same table where they shared their first date.”

The Bach Party and Honeymoon

“We did a joint bachelor party in Miami in June and chose that location for its endless sunshine, yacht rentals, and ability to keep the party going all night!

We are traveling to Italy for our honeymoon, with stops in Positano, Florence, Tuscany, and Rome!”

The Planning

Coastal Coordinating

“We wanted to have autonomy with selecting our wedding vendors and customizing the unique elements of our wedding day (invitations, overall design, custom napkins, wedding party gifts, etc.) Coastal Coordinating came highly recommended from another wedding vendor, and we immediately connected with Melanie!”

From The Planner

“Working with Sean and Cameron was a dream. Stepping into their wedding weekend was like stepping into their world, full of great friends, good music, fun, and immense love. They remained level-headed and focused on each other throughout the planning process, resulting in a perfect wedding day where they were fully present and enjoyed every moment.

I was so impressed with the vendor team they picked out! Everyone worked together seamlessly, and we had so much fun behind the scenes together. By the end of the night, we all felt like friends and family of the couple.”

From The Photographer

“What stood out most to us about Cameron and Sean’s wedding was the atmosphere of the entire day. While that may sound like a general answer, the positivity and joy surrounding this wedding was truly exceptional. Cameron and Sean were so deeply present, not only with each other, but with every person around them. They genuinely cared that their family, friends, and even the vendor team were all having an incredible experience. Their warmth, trust, and excitement were completely contagious, and it created such a celebratory and uplifting environment from beginning to end.

Many of the vendors had worked together before, which already brought a sense of familiarity and excitement to the day, but Cameron and Sean elevated that energy even further. It felt less like simply documenting an event and more like being welcomed into something genuinely meaningful and joyful.

And on top of that, everything looked absolutely stunning. Cameron and Sean were incredibly photogenic and brought such effortless style and confidence to the day. Every detail of the wedding was beautifully executed. The venue, florals, décor, and overall design all came together so elegantly. It was one of those weddings that was not only incredibly meaningful, but visually unforgettable as well.”

“We wanted a natural and authentic look for our wedding photography. Our preference was for photos not to be edited with saturation or other elements that would take away the natural beauty of the day. We wanted a natural and authentic look for our wedding photography.  

Lifelong Photography Studio came highly recommended from another wedding vendor, and we immediately felt a sense of trust and excitement after our initial consultation!”

The Experience

“We wanted to write our vows and share this special moment with our closest friends. Our officiant and best friend, Jenna Jones, wove so many personal connections into our wedding vows. The ceremony brought our guests to tears and highlighted the authenticity that we hoped to achieve on our wedding day. It was an incredible feeling to be surrounded by our closest friends from all across the country. It was a once-in-a-lifetime feeling!”

Which vendors really exceeded your expectations? 
It’s impossible to say! Melanie from Coastal Coordinating made the day feel so smooth and seamless. We didn’t have to worry about a thing! We prioritized videography and photography to capture the memorable moments with authenticity. We watch our wedding video at least twice per week! Shannon Kelly Films captured our wedding day in the most iconic videos that we watch weekly and brings tears to anyone who watches. 

Lifelong Photography Studio made our wedding day feel seamless and fun. Admittedly, we were anxious about this part of the day, but their team of professionals was encouraging, creative, and so complimentary! 2Birds brought our floral vision to life in the most stunning way! The balance of natural beauty and elegant displays truly exceeded our expectations. Curate Entertainment brought the party, just like their reviews suggested! Their app made song customization so simple, and our dance floor was packed from the first to the last song.

What advice would you give to other St. Petersburg couples? 
Trust your gut! We toured multiple venues and researched so many vendors, and we feel grateful that we trusted our gut and went with what felt right to both of us. We would highly recommend all of the professionals who made our day possible! We truly feel like we got the A-Team.
