Summer and Ryan at the Don CeSar

Friday, April 24, 2009 9:15 pm

Sunday was Summer and Ryan’s wedding day at the Don CeSar on the St. Petersburg beach. The weather was beautiful for their ceremony outside in the courtyard. The officiant was Pastor Steve Wells from the North Pointe Church. Dad said he was such a nice guy and seemed energetic and genuinely happy. Summer was smiling and crying as she was escorted down the aisle by her dad. Ryan couldn’t stop smiling as he waited for Summer to join him and become his wife.

The reception was filled with family and friends who enjoyed being together and celebrating Summer and Ryan’s love. Eric Hardy of Hardy & Co DJ and Wedding Service was the DJ and Laurie from A Piece of Cake made the couple’s cake covered in shells and bright yellow orchids. The wedding flowers were done by the Don CeSar’s Seaside Florals and included lots of bright yellows and oranges with highlights of green.

Congratulations to Summer and Ryan! We wish you lots of happiness in your marriage. Dad says thanks for having him share your wedding day with you!

Sara and Justin at the Powel Crosley Estate

Wednesday, April 22, 2009 7:26 pm

On Saturday Sara and Justin were married at the Powel Crosley Estate in Sarasota. Dad photographed their engagement last year and was looking forward to seeing them again. Sara looked like a classic bride in her updo, pearl necklace, beautifully embellished V-neck gown, and bouquet of white flowers. The wedding colors were white with tiffany blue and brown accents. The ceremony took place on the back deck with a gorgeous blue sky, fluffy clouds, and warm sun. Rob of Sword Sounds officiated the wedding and was the DJ for the reception as well.

There was a lot of dancing and laughing at the reception as guests celebrated Sara and Justin’s marriage. The couple had a beautiful day and we wish them the best for a beautiful life together. Thanks for having us as a part of your wedding!

First Birthday!

Tuesday, April 21, 2009 9:37 pm

So much changes in a baby’s first year. They go from a tiny newborn who has to learn to interact with their world to a toddler who has their own personality and explores everything they find! Dad gets so excited when he gets to see these changes and capture them through images. A year ago dad photographed a newborn session and now that newborn was back as a toddler and ready for some first birthday pictures! After showing off some great expressions, he ended the session by smashing into a birthday cake. Happy First Birthday!! We can’t wait to see how big you are next time we get to see you!

Tegan and Daniel at the Spring Jubilee

Sunday, April 19, 2009 1:09 am

Every year our church has a fair with food and rides and entertainment. When Tegan mentioned wanting a fun engagement session and brought up a fair as one of her ideas, dad told her about St. Stephen’s Spring Jubilee. The first day is always the least crowded so dad met Tegan and Daniel on Thursday at the fair. What an awesome session! They bought lots of tickets to ride the rides and enjoy themselves while dad took pictures. Mom absolutely loves the outfit and hair accessory Tegan chose. She looked gorgeous! Dad says thanks for a fun evening at the fair! He’ll see you two next month on your wedding day!!

Saturday, April 18, 2009 3:02 am

Dad was so excited to meet Meghan and Jeff on Wednesday. They are getting married on 11-11-11! What a fun wedding date! Their engagement party is coming up next month so they had their engagement session now to use some of their pictures at the party. They met dad in Ybor City and had a fun time walking around the city for their urban session. They are a great couple and it is going to be wonderful to follow their planning process leading up to their wedding.
