Katie and Alan at the Hilton Clearwater Beach Resort

Tuesday, March 17, 2009 11:55 am

We were all excited about Thursday’s wedding for Katie and Alan! Katie is my aunt Lora’s boss so we had been hearing about the wedding from aunt Lora for a while. Katie has such a kind heart and we were happy to be a part of her day.

The wedding was held at the Hilton Clearwater Beach Resort. Katie started her morning with the fabulous Darla Stafford for hair and makeup. The florist for the wedding was Iza’s Flowers and Jacob from Music on the Move was the DJ for the reception.

Dad loved that the couple had Mia, their cute dog, as the ring bearer. She wore a bandana in lavender, the wedding color, held on with a rhinestone pin. The groom’s uncle officiated the ceremony which was held on the covered porch facing the beach. Dad said the food at the reception was really yummy and all the guests enjoyed an evening together to celebrate Katie and Alan and their new life together.

Katie did not stop smiling all day!

Erin and Robert’s Engagement Session

Monday, March 16, 2009 11:40 am

Erin and Robert spent part of their Spring Break visiting Sarasota and meeting up with dad for an engagement session. Their wedding is going to be at the Powel Crosley Estate in May of next year. They wanted their engagement pictures to match up with the vintage theme of their wedding so they chose Phillippi Estate Park as the location. Early Wednesday morning dad met Erin and Robert there and they enjoyed the pretty weather as they walked around the park for pictures.

Erin and Robert will have been engaged about as long as mom and dad were engaged before their wedding. Mom says that it goes by much faster than you think it will! See you two next year!

Angela and Carlos at the Powel Crosley Estate

Monday, March 16, 2009 12:57 am

Angela and Carlos were married last Monday at the Powel Crosley Estate in Sarasota. Angela’s sister-in-law is Mollie Grady, a wedding and portrait photographer in Sarasota. Mollie has a little girl and one day we are going to have a play date! Dad enjoyed seeing Mollie again at the wedding.

The wedding colors were white and green which brought out the organic look of the start of Spring. There were lots of floating candles and hydrangea. The larger floral arrangements had long branches coming up from them. Eddy Lugo, a classical guitarist, played during the ceremony which a family member officiated. He also played at the start of the reception before Sean Dennison took over the music. Every table at the reception had bottles of wine with labels personalized with the couple’s pictures. As favors, guests were given a tree seedling in a pretty satchel tied with a bow. At the end of the night dad said it was fun to watch the couple and their son leave the Crosley in a boat! What a great departure.

Mollie had photographed Angela’s getting ready before dad arrived so dad started the day with some portraits. Here is the lovely bride, Angela:

Thanks so much to Mollie for recommending dad to Angela, and for being great at the wedding! And of course thanks to Angela and Carlos for having dad share in their day. Congratulations newlyweds, and have fun in Panama!

Smash and Squish

Thursday, March 12, 2009 3:31 am

Selena and James brought their son over for his first birthday session and it was awesome! Any time a toddler gets a cake put in front of him or her, fun is sure to result. This little boy smeared and squished and smashed his birthday cake and did a great job of it! Mom was amazed that he could cover his legs and pants almost completely in cake, but keep his face relatively clean in comparison. Happy First Birthday! It only gets more fun from here on out.
