Wedding at the Grand Plaza: Ashley and Mathew

Jason thought Ashley and Mat were a terrific when he photographed their engagement session.  He knew their wedding day was going to be a blast!  They came down from Georgia for a beach wedding at the always wonderful Grand Plaza Beachfront Resort.  Ashley was a gorgeous bride.  She had her hair and makeup done by Destiny & Light.  There were so many pretty orchids used in all the floral arrangements!  Marsha Marie Flowers was the florist and did a great job.  Jason always loves working with Ian of Movie Magic Productions and he was the couple’s videographer.  Reverend Tom Greene was the officiant at the ceremony.  I love the little boy carrying a “Here Comes the Bride” sign before the bride’s processional and then flipping it around to say “And They Lived Happily Ever After” for the recessional!  The reception was an awesome party and Eric of Grant Hemond kept the dance floor packed.  The three tiered wedding cake was beautifully decorated with flowers by Cakes by Carolynn.  Ashley and Mat had an amazing team of vendors!

The wedding was both elegant and laid-back at the same time.  The decor looked perfect and the details came together to make everything look stunning, but what really made the day special was Ashley, Mat, and their family and friends.  Jason had lots of fun and said there were some hilarious moments from the day!  Congratulations to the newlyweds, and we hope the beauty and joy of your wedding day grow throughout your married life together!

Rinsy and Sajay’s Baby Boy

Rinsy and Sajay have adorable kids with so much personality!  Jason first met their family when their daughter turned one and he saw them again in the spring for Rinsy’s maternity session.  She was expecting a baby boy.  Jason was excited to meet the new addition when they brought him over for a session earlier this month!  He is such a cute baby with lots of smiles and cute expressions.  Thanks for coming over Rinsy and Sajay!  We look forward to seeing your family again for more special memories and milestones!

Wedding at the East Lake Woodlands Country Club: Amber and Wayne

We are so happy for Amber and Wayne!  They had an amazing wedding day surrounded by the love of their terrific friends and family.  Jason has photographed their daughter’s newborn session and saw them again when she turned one.  He had fun seeing them again for their engagement session and their wedding day was a blast!  Amber and Wayne were married at the East Lake Woodlands Country Club.  Amber started the day having her hair done by Nancy Leef of His and Hers Hair Studio and makeup by Evelyn Costello.  At the ceremony the officiant was Allan Zuckerman of Beach Breeze Weddings.  Ceremony decor such as hanging candle globes, fabric draping, uplighting, and more was done by Event Design.  The flowers were from Petals and Papers Emporium.  At the reception the DJ was from Grant Hemond and the wedding cake was made by Publix.

Jason had a wonderful time with Amber, Wayne, and their guests.  Everyone was so nice and so much fun!  Amber and Wayne are an awesome couple and we are so happy we’ve been able to share in some of the most important times of their lives.  Thank you Amber and Wayne!  Congratulations on your wedding and what is sure to be a long and happy marriage:).

Vikki’s Maternity Session at the Beach

Vikki and Lee are expecting their first baby!  Vikki is due in September and she looks absolutely stunning.  Jason met with her and Lee for a sunset session on the beach.  The colors at sunset were amazing and Vikki ended the session in the water.  I love that!  Jason can’t wait to see them again, next time with their baby for a newborn session:).

St. Pete Engagement Session: Kristin and Simon

Kristin and Simon met with Jason just after sunrise for their engagement session.  Early morning summer sessions are a great way to avoid the mid-afternoon heat!  Kristin and Simon grew up sailing and were on the sailing team so they knew they wanted their session at the waterfront.  After pictures by the boats they walked around the nearby downtown area in St. Pete.  Their wedding is in the spring and Jason is happy that he will be there to share in the day with them!
