Wedding at the Sirata: Heather and Jeff

Jason joined Heather and Jeff for their wedding at the Sirata Beach Resort.  It was a beautiful day for a beach wedding with clear blue skies as the couple exchanged their vows barefoot in the sand.  Flowers were done by DJ’s Florist and included a large orchid boutonniere that Jeff wore.  The DJ at the reception was Dan of Sword Sounds and the wedding cake was made by Chantilly Cakes.  Instead of a guest book, Heather and Jeff’s guests signed a surf board personalized with the couple’s names and wedding date.  That is going to look awesome displayed in the couple’s home!  Congratulations to the newlyweds and we hope your honeymoon cruise was a fantastic trip!

6 Month Session: Raegan and Todd’s Baby Boy

It was wonderful to see Raegan, Todd, and their kids again.  They are a terrific family!  Jason has photographed their daughter through her first year and second birthday and he’s done a family session with them as well.  Their daughter was born around the same time as our oldest daughter and then they had a son right when we had our baby as well!  Jason photographed his newborn session and now it was time for his six month session.  He had adorable smiles just like his big sister did at her six month session.  Thanks so much to Raegan and Todd for letting us being a part of your lives and we look forward to next time!

Newborn Portrait Session: Lori and Eric’s Son

After photographing Lori and Eric’s wedding and then Lori’s maternity session we were all looking forward to meeting the new baby!  Lori, Eric, and their daughter brought the newest member of their family over for a session when he was just under two weeks old.  He was a terrific baby and we didn’t believe any of the stories about him being fussy or not sleeping well because he did so great for his session!  Then again, he did show off one scary looking trait in is pictures.  We are so happy that we’ve been able to keep in touch with this awesome family!  We cannot wait to see them again and capture more milestones for Lori, Eric, and their two kids.

Wedding at Sunken Gardens: Katie and Mike

One of my favorite things about what Jason and I do is that no matter how many weddings we are a part of there is something unique about each and every one.  Katie and Mike made sure that their day was unique to the two of them and showed their personalities to everyone who attended.  The wedding was done in the style of A  Midsummer Night’s Dream so Sunken Gardens in St. Pete fit wonderfully as the venue.  Katie had her hair done at the Mane Concern Salon before getting dressed in her beautiful gown, a Pantora by Andrea Pitter on Etsy.  Mildred Maloney Flowers was the florist and the anemone flowers looked beautiful in the bouquets and corsages.  The bridesmaids all wore corsages and carried lanterns instead of bouquets.

After Katie and Mike’s first sight and some bride and groom pictures the ceremony began with a performance by the wedding party.  The wedding party also read during the toasts at the reception.  Dinner was catered by Carrabba’s and the wedding cake was from It’s Icing on the Cake.  The tables had centerpieces that were tree trunks with moss and branches and the linens were from A Linen Valley.  As the reception was ending it was raining and Katie and Mike went out for a few quick pictures in the rain.  It fit the theme of nature and romance for their wedding day!  Congratulations to the newlyweds!

Dana and Ryan’s 5 Year Anniversary Session in Ybor City
