Grand Plaza Wedding: Annmarie and Scott’s Scottish Wedding

“May the best you’ve ever seen be the worst you’ll ever see.  May the mouse never leave your pantry with a tear-drop in his eye.  May you always keep healthy and hearty until you’re old enough to die.  May you always be just as happy as we wish you now to be.”  -Scottish Wedding Blessing.

Annmarie and Scott were married at the always wonderful Grand Plaza Beach Resort on St. Pete Beach.  Everyone who works there does an amazing job and dad always loves going to the Grand Plaza.  Annmarie looked gorgeous.  She wore her hair down and rocked some cowboy boots!

The couple had a Scottish wedding with traditional Scottish attire.  Following tradition, Scott presented Annmarie with a tartan sash during the ceremony as well.  After a beautiful sunset the bride and groom joined their guests inside at the reception.  A candy buffet was set up with a ton of goodies.

Meal a naidheachd to the bride and groom!

Davis Islands Garden Club Wedding: Yen and Jason

Congratulations to Yen and Jason!  They were married at the beautiful Davis Islands Garden Club.  It was obvious that family and friends meant a lot to the couple.  Yen and Jason’s guests came together to celebrate the couple’s love and to witness the bride and groom joining their lives together as one.  The food at the reception was from Catering by Robert and the DJ was from Delite Entertainment.  Yen and Jason also had Mobile Gaming Events come to the wedding and set up video game systems with a variety of video games.  It was a big hit with both the kids and with the adults!

The newlyweds are honeymooning in Hawaii which makes mom jealous.  We hope they have a terrific time!  Thanks to Yen and Jason for having dad there to capture the memories of your wedding day!

A La Carte Pavilion Wedding: Michelle and Kyle

Michelle and Kyle were so sweet with each other at their engagement session so dad knew their wedding day would be filled with emotion and love.  Michelle got ready at the Renaissance Tampa Hotel International Plaza and had her hair and makeup done by the Michele Renee Hair and Makeup Artist Group.  The ceremony and reception was held at the A La Carte Pavilion.  It was a beautiful ceremony officiated by Pastor Dean Ryder.  Dad said you could tell that Michelle and Kyle barely noticed anything but each other as they exchanged their vows and became husband and wife.  The flowers were from Bloomsters Floral and DJ Boone from Boone’s Professional DJ Service had the guests dancing at the reception.  Well, the DJ and the bottle of Goldschlager had everyone dancing!

Congratulations Michelle and Kyle, and thanks for having dad as part of your wedding day!

Wedding at Andrews Memorial Chapel and the Dunedin Country Club: Cameron and Matthew

Congratulations to Cameron and Matt!  They were married at Andrews Memorial Chapel and had their reception at the Dunedin Country Club.  The chapel was built in 1888 and is on the National Register of Historical Places.  Imagine all the brides and grooms who have been married there in the past 120+ years!  The chapel was originally built in another location and was cut in half in order to be moved!

Cameron and Matt had Florals by Joanne as the florist, Publix made their cake, and Keith from Sword Sounds was the DJ at the reception.  Cameron looked like she had a blast dancing in her boots all night!  After a fun wedding the couple headed off to Jamaica for their honeymoon.  We hope it was a great trip!  All the best to the newlyweds!

Newborn Lifestyle Session: Risa and Philip’s Two Boys

Dad went over to Risa and Philip’s house just one week after their baby was born.  He was their second son and after just a few days of having the baby at home big brother looked very proud and comfortable in his new role.  Little brother slept very soundly for most of the session, even when being moved around.  Big brother had such a happy smile and was a lot of fun to be around.  Congratulations to Risa and Philip on their wonderful growing family!
