Stefanie and Scott had their engagement session with Jason in St. Petersburg. It was a relaxed and cheerful morning walking around downtown and looking ahead to the couple’s wedding in July. Thanks to Stefanie and Scott, and Jason will see you two again on your wedding day in just 2 months!
Our kids keep us busy with lots of activities, lessons, and other fun things. That is just the way we like it! I don’t share enough of our family pictures so I wanted to blog a few of our son who recently walked the bridge from tiger cub to wolf! He was so proud of himself which always makes us happy.
It is wonderful to watch a loving family grow. Jason had photographed a newborn session and a first birthday session for Lauren and Noah’s son. Soon after their son turned one they welcomed a second baby boy into their family! Jason was happy to photograph his newborn session as well. Congratulations to Lauren and Noah on their wonderful growing family!
Jason was excited to be a part of Amanda and Geoffrey’s wedding! There were many other couples he knew from previous weddings that he was happy to see again, and he knew that Amanda and Geoffrey were lots of fun so the wedding was sure to be a great time! It was an amazing day filled with gorgeous details and lots of laughs.
Amanda was stunning as a bride. She is a hair stylist and co-owner at Trends by Devicci Salon and had other stylists from her salon there for hair. Marissa Manisalco did the makeup. Amanda’s gown was ridiculously beautiful! It had just the right amount of embellishment and detailing.
The wedding was held at the Ritz Ybor. Amanda and Geoffrey had a team of vendors that helped to bring their ideas to life. The videographer was Jacques of Studios 76. The red and purple flower arrangements were accented with black feathers. Apple Blossoms Floral Designs did a wonderful job putting those together. Tampa Lights did the drapes, along with Decoratively Speaking Events who did both draping fabric and decor. The decor really helped to pull the look of the day together. The ceremony was officiated by Rabbi Joel Simon and the DJ and MC for the reception was DJ Papi from Wild Out Entertainment. Rigatoni’s Catering made the food which was really yummy but Jason said the highlight for the guests was that they were able to eat their menus! They were big pieces of chocolate made by Chocolate Dreams and Wishes. Decoratively Speaking Events also did the specialty linens which, along with the chiavari chairs from Busy Bee Chair Company, created an opulent and elegant look. The cakes from Cakes A Go-Go included a tall and whimsical red and black cake and a UCF helmet for the groom’s cake.
Jason said the wedding was a blast! He was happy to share it with some of his past couples and other great people. You could see Amanda and Geoffrey’s personalities in the details of the day. Not only did all of those details come together to create an absolutely gorgeous day, but everyone there was laughing and enjoying themselves all day long as well. Congratulations to the newlyweds and thanks for having Jason capture these memories for you!
**ALL OF THE TIME SLOTS HAVE NOW BEEN FILLED. THANK YOU TO ALL OF THE MILITARY FAMILIES!**
UPDATE: We have had a couple requests to include all members of the military, both active duty, reserves, and veterans. Of course we agreed to honor all of you who have served! We only have a few time slots left but we’d be happy to include the kids of all military men and women, past and present!
This Memorial Day weekend we remember those who gave their lives for our country. We owe so much to those who defend our freedom! We deeply appreciate the sacrifice and bravery of men and women in our military here and abroad, both current and veteran, as well as the families who love and support them.
Our family would like to thank those who serve our country by offering free portrait sessions for kids of active military personnel. These 4th of July themed studio mini sessions will be held on June 24th and families will also receive a free disc with a selection of their images. We have a limited number of time slots so we’ll be scheduling sessions through email until all of the times are filled. These sessions can be for babies (including maternity) or kids who have a parent who is active duty military. Email jasonangelini@aol.com to schedule a free 4th of July mini session as our thank you to the wonderful men and women of our armed forces!
God bless the USA!
