Tampa Wedding at the Rusty Pelican: Kathryn and Brandon

February 5, 2010 – 10:41 pm

When Kristine of Fabulous Faces contacted us and told us that her sister was getting married, we were so excited! Kristine is awesome and mom had talked to her before about her wonderful family, so we knew that a wedding with her family was sure to be a great time. Dad said Kathryn and Brandon were both just as kind and good-hearted as he thought they would be. He joined them for their wedding two weeks ago with the ceremony at St. Raphael Catholic Church and the reception at the Rusty Pelican.

Kathryn looked so pretty as a bride! Fabulous Faces of course did a great job with her makeup. Mom liked the classic look of her gown, pearl earrings, and traditional bouquet. Flowers were done by Lorilarson Flowers and they matched the bright purple color that the bridesmaids wore as well. Dad always enjoys working with the talented Rob Sword of Sword Sounds so it was great to see him again as well. The cake was made by Chantilly Cakes.

The sunset was amazing on Kathryn and Brandon’s wedding day. As it fell below the clouds but over the horizon, it turned the sky red, orange, and purple. It was a great backdrop for bride and groom pictures. Congratulations Kathryn and Brandon! It was an honor for dad to be there to share in the celebration with your family and friends. Thanks for having him capture your memories!

A La Carte Event Pavilion Wedding: Michelle and Zach

February 4, 2010 – 3:24 am

When Michelle talked about her wedding day, you could tell that she was just as excited (if not more!) about her future as Zach’s wife as she was about the day itself. That is always a wonderful thing. Dad had photographed Michelle and Zach’s engagement sessions last summer and was happy to join them again on their wedding day. They were married at Saints Peter and Paul Maronite Catholic Church with their reception at the beautiful A La Carte Event Pavilion. They always do such a great job with the decor and Michelle and Zach’s wedding was no exception. The ceiling was draped in fabric with crystal chandeliers hanging, and purple lighting gave a splash of color to the black and white colors of the wedding. Dana Dineen was the florist and created beautiful arrangements of white flowers for the bouquet, ceremony alter, and reception centerpieces. Ian of Movie Magic Productions was the videographer and dad was happy to work with him again. It was dad’s first time working with Tony of Grant Hemond and he did a great job playing music that kept Michelle, Zach, and their family and friends on the dance floor.

Michelle was a beautiful bride. She wore a gorgeous Anne Barge gown from Malindy Elene Couture and mom loved the detailing on the bodice. Cari from KyleLynn did Michelle’s hair with soft curls. When Zach first saw her, he looked so proud to be marrying her.

It was easy to see how loved Michelle and Zach are. Their friends and family had a wonderful time witnessing their vows and celebrating the start to their life together. Congratulations newlyweds! Many blessings to you both in your life as husband and wife!

On His First Birthday

February 1, 2010 – 12:36 pm

Dad had been looking forward to a session with Portia and Aundre’s son for a long time. He was so excited to photograph their son on his first birthday! He played with some toys, tasted a bit of cake, and showed how much changes in just a year when he sat next to the belly cast of his mom’s pregnant belly. We hope you had a fun first birthday!

Sporting his Kenneth Cole sweater:

This is one of mom’s favorites from the session:

Already Growing

January 31, 2010 – 10:05 pm

Dominique and Phillip first had dad photograph their baby girl for a newborn session when she was just under a week old. They brought her in for a studio session a month later and she already looked so much bigger! Babies grow so quickly so it makes these pictures mean so much more.

Fistfuls of Frosting

January 30, 2010 – 4:11 pm

The day before her son’s birthday, Sophie had dad come over to photograph her little boy’s first birthday session. He showed dad around his play room, played peek-a-boo through his tunnels, and then showed dad how he liked to eat the fake fruit and sneak tupperware out of the kitchen cabinets that he can reach! Dad said it was so cute to watch him explore his house. Then his mom brought out the cake and the fun really got started! Happy first birthday!

Tampa Wedding at A La Carte Pavilion: Kelli and Jason

January 26, 2010 – 12:07 am

A La Carte Pavilion in Tampa is an awesome venue for weddings. Kelli and Jason were married there the first weekend in January. Their wedding was stunning! Not only are Kelli and Jason a gorgeous couple, but all their wedding details looked amazing as well! Kelli’s fitted gown with soft ruffles at the bottom, the feathers in the bouquet matching the feathery tall centerpieces, the pink patterned reception lighting, the fabric draping the ceiling, the beautifully detailed cake, and all the other details came together to create such a beautiful look.

Congratulations newlyweds! You did such a terrific job with your wedding and we hope the happiness of the day is always in your hearts.

Bling!

Jamie and Walter’s New Year’s Eve Wedding at the Carlouel Yacht Club

January 20, 2010 – 10:03 pm

We are finally blogging our last wedding of 2009! Jamie and Walter were married in a beautiful morning ceremony on the beach. Their reception at the Carlouel Yacht Club was a brunch complete with a chef making omelettes and pancakes to order. Brunch receptions are dad’s favorite so he was very excited! Jamie’s J Crew gown was perfect for her morning beach wedding and she carried a bouquet of orchids by Open Air Florist. The officiant was Nancy from A Florida Wedding Ceremony and the cake was made by A Better Cheesecake.

Jamie and Walter made their day even more special by including their son in the ceremony and by giving him his own cake to cut at the reception. It was an ice cream cake in the shape of a car, and it is easy to tell from the pictures how much he enjoyed it! Dad said there is lots of love and happiness in their family. We hope it only grows as years go on.

Congratulations Jamie and Walter! Thank you for having us end our 2009 weddings with such a beautiful day!

Jovan and Nathaniel are getting married in just a month and a half! Dad met up with them and photographed their engagement session in Ybor City. It was a cold day but they braved the weather for an afternoon of lots of kissing and enjoying time together as an engaged couple. Can’t wait for the wedding day!
