Carly and Will’s 3 Month Old

Carly and Will are wonderful, loving parents.  Dad photographed their little girl when she was a newborn and they brought her back for her 3 month session.  She has grown so much already!  Here she was three months ago:

And here she is at her 3 month session:

She is so cute!  We can’t wait to see how much she grows in the next 3 months!

Wedding at the Davis Islands Garden Club: Amanda and Christopher

Amanda and Chris had their engagement session just one week before their wedding.  They were so excited for their big day to arrive and dad was happy to be there to share it with them.  They were married at the Davis Islands Garden Club.  This was dad’s third wedding in a row there yet every wedding was unique to that couple.  It is beautiful to see how every couple makes their day their own.

Dad met up with Amanda that morning as she was getting ready and was excited to see one of his past brides!  Savannah (springrrlie@aol.com) was there to do Amanda’s hair and dad got to catch up with her a bit.  Amanda also had the wonderful Julie Robbins of DS Make-up there for makeup.  Rob Sword of Sword Sounds was the officiant and then rocked it out as the DJ for the reception.  The bouquets were made by Thai-Rific Orchids and Chef Michael of Let Them Eat Cake made the cake.

Amanda and Chris were lots of fun and full of smiles.  We hope that happiness they share together grows through the years.  Congratulations newlyweds!

Wedding at the Davis Islands Garden Club: Sharon and Lawrence and the Butterflies

“Beautiful and graceful, varied and enchanting, small but approachable, butterflies lead you to the sunny side of life.  And everyone deserves a little sunshine.”  -Jeffrey Glassberg

Sharon and Larry had a beautiful garden style wedding with butterflies every where!  They had so many great details combining their colors of orange and pink with their butterfly theme.  Simply Divine Events was their wedding planner and helped put together a great day at the Davis Islands Garden Club.  Amy of Not From a Box made the stationary.  The flowers were done by Events in Bloom and looked gorgeous!  At the reception, Inspire Entertainment was the DJ and the pretty butterfly cake was made by Cakes by Nomeda.

Dad had a blast with this amazing couple.  He says they are all going to head out to the Beer Shed for a get together one night soon:).  Congratulations Sharon and Larry!


Wedding at the Davis Islands Garden Club: Alyssa and Peter

Alyssa and Peter had their engagement session with dad in Tampa and on May day they were back in Tampa with dad for their wedding day!  Their wedding colors were purple and green which looked bright and fun together.  Alyssa even wore pretty purple shoes!  The wedding was at Davis Islands Garden Club and the couple decorated with purple and green pillows, paper lanterns, and uplighting.  Cari of Kyle Lynn did Alyssa’s hair and makeup.  Mom loved how Alyssa’s hair looked.  She was such a beautiful bride!  David from Trinity Wedding Video was great to work with as the videographer.  The purple and green flowers were done by Irene at For Better For Less.  At the reception, Rob Sword of Sword Sounds was the DJ and the cake was made by Chocolate Pi.

Alyssa and Peter are so nice and so in love!  It was great for dad to be there to share their wedding day with them.  Congratulations you two!

Rusty Pelican Wedding: Katie and Colin

When dad photographed Katie and Colin’s engagement session last fall he thought their dog was so cute.  Dad was excited to see that some pictures of Bentley at the session were made into cufflinks for the wedding day!

Katie and Colin put together a fantastic team of vendors for their wedding day.  Darla Stafford is so talented and super nice.  She was there for hair and makeup.  Chad Whelan is a wonderful videographer and dad has lots of fun working with him.  Reverend Tom Greene officiated over the ceremony and Rob Sword of Sword Sounds rocked out as the DJ for the reception.  Debbie of The Bride’s Bouquet did the flowers and Chantilly Cakes made the yummy wedding cake.  Dad enjoyed working with everyone.

Mom loved the bright pink flowers and especially the mini crystal chandeliers used in the centerpieces.  The reception room looked beautiful!  Thanks so much to Katie and Colin for having dad as part of your wedding day.  Congratulations you two!
