Wedding at the Clubhouse at Mediterra in Naples: Megan and Ross

Last spring dad photographed Megan and Ross’s engagement session at a mini golf course.  They had such a great time and dad couldn’t wait to see them again for their big day!  The wedding was in Naples at The Clubhouse at Mediterra.  Megan had her hair and makeup done by Nancy and Michelle of the x Nancy Joseph Makeup Artistry.  Dad was happy to be working with Trinity Wedding Video who was there as the videographer.  The flowers were done by Westcoast Design Center and they were gorgeous.  At the ceremony the couple had Seaside Strings for music and Rev. Les Wicker as the officiant.  The reception music was played by a DJ from The Entertainment Source and the gorgeous cake and cupcake display was done by Kakes by Karen.

The wedding colors were pink, white, and silver and everything came together wonderfully.  Megan looked amazing in her dress!  It had romantic lace embellishments with a silver ribbon around the waist decorated with pearls and silver accents.  Ross and the groomsmen wore gray suits with pink ties and the bridesmaids all wore a bright shade of pink.  At the reception the linens were pink pintuck tablecloths with silver chairs around the tables.  The pink table numbers were in silver frames and the centerpieces were in either silver bowls or tall silver vases.  It was a beautiful spring wedding for a terrific couple.  Congratulations Megan and Ross!

Wedding at the Grand Plaza: Melissa and Kent

Melissa and Kent had their beach wedding at the Grand Plaza Resort in St. Petersburg.  The couple had the always amazing Shawna of Flawless Occasions as their wedding coordinator.  Dad always has a fun time when working with her.  Cari of Kyle Lynn Weddings was there for hair and makeup and she is terrific as well.  The wedding flowers were done by Dana Dineen and there were lots of roses decorating both the ceremony arch and the reception.  John from A Perfect Witness was the officiant at the ceremony and at the reception Corey from Grant Hemond was the DJ.  The cake was bright and bold with red, orange, and pink layers decorated with deep blue accents.  Laurie of A Piece of Cake did a great job with it!

8 Month Portrait Session with Emilia and Steven’s Son

Emilia and Steven brought their little boy over for a portrait session.  He is eight months old but already has the curiosity of a toddler.  Dad said that he smiled for most of the session but whenever he started to get a little upset all dad had to do was hand him a piece of camera gear to check out and he would be intrigued by it!  If he grows up to be a photographer we will all know that it started here at this session.  Dad said that Emilia and Steven were terrific parents and you could see how much they loved their son.  Thanks to Emilia, Steven, and little boy for a really cute session.

Lisa and William’s Son Turns One

How cute is Lisa and William’s son in his shirt and tie running around with a big bunch of colorful balloons?!  Dad first photographed Lisa and William’s little boy for his 3 month session and last week he met the family in Downtown Tampa for a one year session.  At his 3 month session he had expressions that would quickly go from serious to excited.  Now at one year he would cautiously explore and then be really happy to be running all around!  Dad said that it was adorable to watch him.  Happy 1st birthday to Lisa and William’s son!

Risa and Philip’s Two Boys

Dad photographed Risa and Philip’s youngest when he was just a newborn.  He had so much fun seeing them again last week!  They are a beautiful family and the boys had the cutest personalities to match.  Big brother was great with his little brother!  He kept putting his arm around him and giving him hugs and kisses.  Dad came home with the awesome idea of a chalk race track in the driveway for matchbox car races!  We had fun copying that at our house.  It was a terrific session and dad is looking forward to the next time he gets to see this wonderful family.
