Here is a collage of some of the sessions, weddings, and events we were able to be part of this year. We uploaded a 2010 highlights album on Facebook as well so be sure to check it out! Have a fun and safe New Year’s Eve!
After a beautiful engagement session with Lindsay and David, dad was excited to spend the day after Thanksgiving celebrating their wedding. They are such a sweet couple and dad said seeing them so happy and in love on their wedding day was a wonderful thing. The wedding took place at the Westin Tampa Harbour Island. Their coordinator was Brittany of Tickled Pink Brides and dad enjoyed meeting her. Lindsay and David’s other vendors on their terrific team included videographer Chad Whelan who dad always has fun with, Cari of Kyle Lynn Weddings for hair and makeup, beautiful floral arrangements by Redman Steele Floral Design Studio, Bella Musica playing music during the ceremony, the always talented Rob Sword of Sword Sounds for the DJ, a pretty cake from A Piece of Cake and decor items from Fairytale Weddings and Events (727-235-2771).
Lindsay and David had their first sight before the ceremony so that they would have time for daylight pictures of the bride and groom. It was raining a bit but dad just had the couple duck into some covered areas for pictures. The ceremony was officiated by the bride’s uncle and having someone who knows the couple always makes it more intimate and personal. At the reception the guests were treated to an ice cream bar and Florida Gators cookies to honor the University of Florida where the couple met, fell in love, and were engaged. Mom thought it was cute that the cookies weren’t put out until later in the evening and the favor tags read, “See you later… Alligator! Thanks for coming. Go Gators!” Those little personal details are what make every wedding so special for each couple.
The newlyweds enjoyed a honeymoon in Italy and France! We are sure it was an amazing trip. Lindsay and David, we hope every day of your marriage is filled with as much romance and fun as all the deep dip kisses as you shared on your wedding day
. Congratulations!
One of the things we like most about visiting New York City are the wonderful people we know there. Dad photographed Lisa and Joe’s engagement session in New York City and then their wedding here in Florida. During our trip to NYC just before Christmas dad met up with Lisa and Joe again for Lisa’s maternity session! We were so happy for them when we heard that they were expecting and it was really special for dad to be there to photograph the maternity session. He met them at Rockefeller Plaza to get some of the quintessential pictures of New York City at Christmas. Lisa and Joe are amazing people. We know if we lived near them we’d be hang out lots! We wish them all the best as they look forward to their new addition! We can’t wait to hear the good news!
Just like his cousin, Shannon’s son was such a good baby and so happy through his session! He is the same age as his cousin and joined him for some pictures before starting his own 6 month session. He was grooving and dancing through the session smiling the whole day. Dad could not believe what a great baby he was! He got tired at the end of his session and cuddled up to his mom which was so precious. The session was last month but we waited until after Christmas to blog the images so the pictures would be a surprise for his grandma. Thanks to Shannon for a terrific session and we hope to see your little boy as he grows!
Dad has photographed Kalyn and Daniel’s engagement session, their wedding, and then Kalyn’s beautiful beach maternity session so he was really excited when he got to meet their little boy! He was absolutely adorable and one of the happiest babies ever. He smiled and laughed through his entire 6 month session. He has a cousin the same age who joined him at the end of his session and his cousin was just as smiley! As always, dad had a terrific time with this awesome family. They had their session a little while ago but we waited until after Christmas to blog the pictures so the images would be a surprise to the cousins’ grandma. We are sure she loved them! We can’t wait until the boys turn one because those smash the cake sessions are sure to be a blast!
