Already Growing

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

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!

Lakeland Wedding: Hannah and Matt

Dad was in Lakeland for Hannah and Matt’s wedding at the First United Methodist Church and the reception following at the Sorosis Club.  Dad had photographed Hannah and Matt’s engagement session last summer in Lakeland as well.  StyleHouse Weddings and Events were the couple’s wedding planners.  Dad enjoyed meeting them.  Other vendors included Petals of Lakeland for the flowers, Panache for the beautiful rentals, Kaleidoscope for lighting, Quest Drape for reception drapes, and DJ Carl for the reception music.

Congratulations Hannah and Matt!  We wish you a lifetime of happiness!

Mom loved the table settings the couple chose.  They looked gorgeous!

Tampa Wedding at A La Carte Pavilion: Kelli and Jason

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!

Mandi and Jeremy’s New Year’s Day Wedding at the RiverHouse

We ended 2009 with a beautiful wedding and started 2010 the same way!  Mandi and Jeremy were married on New Year’s Day at the Woodland Community Church.  Their reception was at The RiverHouse on the Manatee River in Palmetto.  The couple put together a wonderful team of vendors including Cari of KyleLynn Cosmetics for hair and makeup, Cara from Heart’s Video as the videographer, Flowers by Don as the florist, Olympia Catering for the food and cake, and Rob Sword of Sword Sounds as the DJ.

Dad enjoyed watching Mandi and Jeremy start off the new year by starting their lives together.  They were so happy to be in love!  Congratulations Mandi and Jeremy, and we hope you had a blast at Disney and your cruise!0
