Wedding at the Florida Aquarium: Kimberly and Jimmy

Kim and Jimmy, otherwise known as Jimberly, had their wedding at the The Florida Aquarium.  It is a terrific venue to have a wedding that reflects Florida without having a beach wedding.  Before going to the aquarium, Kim had her hair and makeup done at ManTrap.  The couple had Ian of Movie Magic Productions as the videographer and he is wonderful to work with and does a great job.  Flowers were done by Lorilarson Flowers.  Rob Sword of Sword Sounds was the officiant and the DJ.  Jason always enjoys working with Rob and he is terrific at what he does.  The wedding cake was from Publix on Bayshore.

Jason had a blast at this wedding!  Kim and Jimmy are an awesome couple and so fun to be around.  Many of their guests were people dad knew from past and upcoming weddings, including Sarah and Rob and their adorable son.  The details Kim and Jimmy chose were perfect for an aquarium wedding.  Kim carried a bouquet that was filled with bling!  The flowers were all crystals and the base was wrapped in white and blue ribbon.  Kim’s shoes were glittery with lots of crystals as well.  All of the rhinestones looked like the reflection of light on water which was beautiful at an aquarium wedding!  The bridesmaids wore gowns in a gorgeous blue color to go with the water theme as well.

Congratulations Kim and Jimmy!  We are so happy that we were able to be part of your wedding day and we hope you keep in touch!

Wedding at Sacred Heart and the Rusty Pelican: Nicole and David

Nicole and David were married at Sacred Heart Catholic Church with their reception following at the Rusty Pelican.  The couple had a wonderful team of vendors including Darla Stafford for hair and makeup, Ian of Movie Magic Productions for videography, Irene of For Better For Less as the florist, a cake from Chantilly Cakes, and Ben from Grant Hemond as the DJ.  After their ceremony and pictures in the church, the bride and groom and their wedding party went to downtown Tampa for some pictures before joining their reception.  Jason had a great time at the wedding and said the day went wonderfully.  Congratulations to the newlyweds, and thanks for having us there to capture your wedding day memories!

Wedding at the South Seas Resort: Kristian and Michael

Congratulations to Kristian and Michael!  Jason joined them for their intimate wedding at the beautiful South Seas Resort.  Kristian looked amazing in her Augusta Jones “Bobbi” gown from Malindy Elene and her gorgeous black heels.  The wedding colors were pink and black and Shelley from Fort Myers Florist made the floral arrangements and bouquets featuring pink roses and pink Gerber daisies.  Tim of Steely Pan played the steel drum at the ceremony which was held on the King’s Lawn.  At the dinner that followed the cake was from Mason’s Bakery.  The newlyweds honeymooned in Tahiti and Bora Bora!  We are sure it was an amazing trip.  Thanks for having us as part of your day Kristian and Michael!

Wedding at the Grand Plaza: Jennifer and Gregg

Jennifer and Gregg are a laid back and easy going couple.  They were married at the always wonderful Grand Plaza Beach Resort and had their close family and friends with them to celebrate.  Jennifer had her hair and makeup done by Tiffany of the Michele Renee Hair and Makeup Artist Group.  Her gown was perfect for a beach wedding!  It was just below the knee in the front but still had a pretty train in the back.  The talented Irene of For Better For Less put together yellow and pink floral arrangements to go with the wedding colors.  The flower girls wore yellow dresses with pink sashes and edges and the bridesmaids had dark pink dresses with yellow on them.  They all looked beautiful!  The officiant was Mary of Marry Me Mary and at the reception the DJ was Joe Lorenzo of Expert Productions.  The wedding cake from Cakes by Carolynn was decorated with flowers and beach details.

The couple had a first sight before their ceremony and then they were married in the Presidential Ballroom where their reception was held as well.  They went out for bride and groom pictures at sunset and when they returned to the reception it was great to see some of the events that made the day more personal.  The bride had a jersey that was half Steelers and half Dolphins.  It said “Mrs. Steeler” on the back.  The groom also had a half and half jersey with “Mr. Dolphin” on the back.  For the bouquet toss Jennifer threw a pom pom in the colors of the Steelers instead of a bouquet.  It is great to see couples make their wedding day reflect their interests and personalities!  Congratulations to Mrs. Steeler and Mr. Dolphin!

Wedding at the Lange Farm: Caitlin and Tim

Caitlin and Tim were married at the First United Methodist Church of Zephyrhills and had their reception at the beautiful Lange Farm in Dade City.  They had a terrific team of vendors including Julissa of Beauty Brought Out for hair and makeup, Irene of For Better For Less for flowers, catering by Hungry Harry’s Bar-B-Que, Doug Decker from Grant Hemond as the DJ, and a cake from Chef Nelson’s Cake Studio.

It was wonderful to see all the ways that the couple personalized their wedding to reflect their personalities.  There were Gator details including the garter, a cookie cake, and orange and blue streamers on the get away car.  I am a bit juvenile, I know, but I giggled a little at the letters on the head table of the couple’s monogram, THC:).  Before Caitlin and Tim were introduced at the reception, a “referee” came in with a whistle holding a “2 Bits” sign.  The first dance started off like a traditional bride and groom dance and then the couple broke out into some fun dance moves!  The fun dancing continued throughout the night.  Guests at the wedding including people from the bride’s sorority and groom’s fraternity and both groups did their chants during the reception.  I absolutely loved the quote that they had decorating the wall.  It said, “Today two friends become one family.”  It was similar to a quote Jason and I used at our own wedding and it reminded me of the two of us as well!  It is so special when the person you love and will spend the rest of your life with is your best friend as well and it is obvious that Caitlin and Tim share that too.  We hope your friendship continues to grow stronger as you start your lives together now as a family!
