Stephen and Sofie

Stephen and Sofie came from the UK for their wedding ceremony on a popular beach destination on Sand Key in late September.  But, due to the devastation from Hurricane Helene, their wedding plans were cancelled.  Fortunately they were able to coordinate a last minute venue change with the staff at the Hilton Clearwater Beach Resort and Spa just days before Hurricane Milton earlier this year.. 

The Hilton Clearwater Beach is seated on 10 acres overlooking the Gulf of Mexico.  This iconic hotel offers food and drink service nearly to the water’s edge, and features the only tiki bar on the sand, private beach cabanas and new pools.  Guests can refresh and revitalize in the new Hibiscus Spa, or take in a legendary sunset while dining on fresh, local fare.  IT was the perfect venue for Stephen and Sofie to get married.

Sofie looked gorgeous in her wedding gown as she was escorted down the aisle by her mother, to join Stephen in front of their wedding arch. The couple’s custom designed ceremony included a Special Remembrance for Sofie’s father, and Blended Family Vows.  Then, in front of their family, the couple shared their vows, exchanged rings and were pronounced husband and wife by Rev Rick Lackore with Sensational Ceremonies. 

Special thanks goes out to Lisa, and the rest of the staff at the Hilton Clearwater Beach, for going above and beyond to pull off an alternate venue for the couple’s ceremony.  Also, thanks to Tammy, with True Love Photography for providing this beautiful picture during their ceremony.       

Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Stephen and Sofie Kinch!
