Studio Sunday

Tuesday, December 23, 2008 11:04 pm

Dad had an awesome day on Sunday! Three of his past wedding couples came over for pictures with their babies!! How fun is that?! It is so meaningful to be a part of the progression of life changing moments. When mom and dad got married, part of their wedding vows included the promise to accept children from God lovingly and bring them up according to their faith. To photograph the children of couples whose weddings dad played some small part is that much more special to him.

The first session was with Stephanie and Andy’s baby girl. They were married in April of 2006 at the Sunken Gardens in St. Petersburg and their daughter was born at the end of October. Dad was happy to see Stephanie and Andy again though he is sad that they will be moving out of the state soon. They are kind and wonderful people and you can see what great parents they are by all the smiles their daughter gave during the session. Even without a smile, she had the an adorable serene expression on her face.

Good luck with the move, and when you are back in Florida be sure to come by so we can see how much bigger your little girl will be!

‘Twas the Last Wedding Before Christmas

Monday, December 22, 2008 3:47 am

Last Monday dad photographed Anna and John’s wedding, the last wedding for dad before Christmas. They were married on the beach and had their reception at Palma Sola Botanical Park. Stacy from Meant to Be Wed was the coordinator and Rob Sword of Sword Sounds was the DJ for the reception.

Anna and John are from Wyoming and dad wanted them to get married there and have him photograph the wedding so he could enjoy the snow, but they had a warm Florida wedding day which we are sure their guests appreciated. The weather was beautiful most of the day until just before the reception when it began to rain. But to make it up to Anna and John, they were able to enjoy a pretty rainbow in the sky just before their reception entrance.

The guests all had a great time at the reception and partied on the dance floor most of the night. Mom liked the couple’s cake topper, a Precious Moments couple with Mickey and Minnie wedding ears. How great for a couple who are honeymooning here in Florida!

Congratulations Anna and John, and enjoy the Florida weather before you return home to Wyoming!

Sonya and Luis

On Saturday Sonya and Luis were married at Sacred Heart Church in Tampa with their reception at the Surf’s Edge Club at MacDill Air Force Base. The couple had a night ceremony so dad started his day later than usual when he met with Sonya that afternoon as she got ready. She had the cutest dog who was watching all the activity and wishing she could be pampered as well!

With Christmas coming up soon, the red accent color the couple used to accent their black and white wedding was perfect. The bride even wore a gorgeous pair of red shoes. Dad liked the damask pattern on details throughout the wedding as well.

Sonya and Luis had a great time at their reception! The Christmas tree, wreaths, and stockings hanging made for a festive atmosphere. It was a fun night, and certainly memorable! Dad was still getting over his cough and was having a bit of trouble with all the fog the DJs were making. As the night continued and there was more of the fog, the fire alarm ended up going off from it and the building had to be evacuated! Luckily it was close to the end of the night and the couple left with a smile.

Congratulations Sonya and Luis! Hope you enjoy your cruise!

Ultrasound Picture!

Thursday, December 18, 2008 2:11 am

Yesterday mom and dad had the amazing experience of getting to see our baby with an ultrasound again, and this time we have pictures! They said baby was waving hands in the air and moving arms and feet all over. Mom of course cried seeing the cute baby. God is so good and we are grateful for His blessings!

This was the best of the pictures, where you can see a hand and foot up in the air.

Even the baby is getting ready for Christmas!

Heather and Richard

Wednesday, December 17, 2008 4:45 am

In just a week and a half, Heather and Richard will exchange vows and become husband and wife! They are an awesome couple and dad is excited for their wedding.

On Friday the rain cleared and dad met Heather and Richard for their engagement session. He knew he was going to like them when he mentioned their wedding coming up and Richard said they were having the engagement session now because they always plan ahead and like to get things done and out of the way so they don’t procrastinate. Believe it or not, 2 weeks before is not the closest to a wedding that dad has photographed an engagement session!

Heather, Richard, and dad walked around downtown Tampa and dad had a great time photographing the couple being goofy and sweet and very in love.
