2 Month Old Portrait Session: Nadia’s Baby Girl

Nadia brought her daughter over for a 2 month old portrait session.  Her little girl was so cute!  With her bangs and pig tails she looked just like Boo from the movie Monsters Inc.  Nadia was wonderful with her and it was fun hearing her say Opa! in true Greek tradition.  Thanks for bringing your daughter over Nadia and we can’t wait to see you both again!

Wedding at the Grand Plaza: Rebecca and Jeff

Rebecca and Jeff had their wedding at the always wonderful Grand Plaza Hotel on St. Pete Beach.  The couple came down from Canada to enjoy the beautiful weather of Florida in the fall.  Mom fell in love with Rebecca’s Badgley Mischka silver Randall shoes!  Gorgeous!!  Rebecca’s gown with the delicate beaded lace straps that crossed in the open back was stunning as well.  Jeff looked great in his gray suit and checked purple shirt with purple tie too.  Rose Garden Florist did the flowers for the wedding, Joe of Expert Productions was the DJ, and the cake was made by Cakes by Carolyn.  Congratulations Rebecca and Jeff!  We hope your honeymoon cruise was as much fun than your wedding day!

Wedding at the Ritz-Carlton in Sarasota: Kristy and JP

The colors of sunset in the sky on the Florida beaches this time of year are breath-taking.  Kristy and JP were married as the sun was starting to go down and had their first pictures as husband and wife with those beautiful sunset colors.  Their wedding was held at The Ritz-Carlton, Sarasota with the ceremony under a pavilion decorated in fabric, petals, and floral arrangements.  Exotica Florist put together the flowers of oranges, pinks, and green accents.  Kristy wore a romantic gown with lace covering the bodice and a silk ribbon sash decorated with beading.  Cari from Kyle Lynn Weddings was there for hair and makeup and Kristi wore her hair down in soft curls under her veil.  Her look went perfectly with her gown!  Rob Sword from Sword Sounds was the DJ at the reception and dad looks forward to weddings with him.  He always does a terrific job.  Dad said the food was very yummy and the guests all seemed to enjoy it a lot as well.

The love that Kristy and JP share is obvious to anyone who spends any time with them.  We are so happy for them with all they have to celebrate and look forward to as they start their lives together!  Congratulations newlyweds!

Wedding at Sacred Heart Church and The Tampa Club: Lauren and Micah

Lauren and Micah were married at Sacred Heart Church and celebrated their reception at the The Tampa Club.  Dad always looks forward to seeing Darla and Julie of Darla Stafford Hair and Makeup and they were there to help the girls get ready.  The wonderful Ian of Movie Magic Productions was also there as the videographer.  The wedding colors were purple and green and Events in Bloom used the colors in the beautiful bouquets and centerpieces.  The cake by Let Them Eat Cake not only had flowers on top but it was decorated by purple butterflies and green leaves.  Next to the cake was a framed sign showing the guests the flavors of each cake layer.  The sign, the pretty monograms on the vases, and other stationary items were done by the bride’s sister, Krista Graphic Design.

Lauren, Micah, and their wedding party went to the downtown streets for pictures and dad had fun walking around taking pictures with them.  We are all so jealous of Lauren and Micah spending their honeymoon in Breckenridge!  We took a family vacation there a few years ago and absolutely loved it.  Fall is sure to be gorgeous there!  Congratulations Lauren and Micah!

Sand Key Family Session: Natasha, Chris, and Their Little Boy

Natasha, Chris, and their son woke up extra early to meet dad at Sand Key for a beautiful morning beach session.  Dad said their 3 year old was so much fun to hang out with.  He had the happiest smiles!  Dad also got to see our friend Robin and his little man as they played on the beach there too.  We are excited for their family session coming up soon as well!  Natasha and Chris, thanks for a great session.  You have a gorgeous family!
