Mail and Ads and Blogs: Our Pictures Put to Use!

Mom Blogging:

I love seeing our images put to use.  In the mail the other day we received Caroline and David’s Save the Date card.  They are such a sweet couple and we loved the picture they chose from their engagement session!  It shows what a cute couple they are and how happy they are to be in love.  We’ve been hearing some of the planning details from Caroline’s wonderful mom and it is going to be an amazing wedding!

Also in the mail we received a thank you card from newlyweds Marisol and Neil.  It had a pretty flower cut out on the front:

and a nice message to Jason thanking him for photographing their wedding on the inside:

Elissa and Rick were also just married and are a terrific couple.  I got to meet them at our Christmas party and they were great people.  After seeing their images they wrote:

Jason,

Thank you so much for the amazing job you did at our wedding!  Everyone (including us) was amazed at you being everywhere!  The pictures are great – I think you got a pic of everyone who was there!  Now the hard part is picking out which pictures we want:)  Thank you also for the Christmas party invite – it was great to meet your family!  You are great at what you do.  Thank you.

Elissa and Rick

It was also fun for us to see two of our pictures in Michele Renee Hair and Makeup Artist Group‘s ad in the Perfect Wedding Guide (on the right):

Wedding blogs are a great place to get ideas for your own wedding planning.  Brenda’s Wedding Blog is a great one with daily updates and lots of pictures.  We are honored that she shared a ring pictures from Stephanie and Nick’s wedding on her “Ringing in the New Year” blog post!

Seeing our pictures put to great uses, getting these terrific thank you cards…2010 is starting off wonderfully!

Marisol and Neil’s Wedding at Mixon’s in the Grove

Mixon Fruit Farm in Bradenton is a fun place.  Dad takes us there to do the tour and see the rescued animals.  We love the big tortoise!  At the farm they have Mixon’s in the Grove for weddings.  It is an historic citrus grove which is wonderful as a background for a Florida wedding.  Dad photographed Samantha and Jason’s wedding there and we LOVE that Samantha’s picture is on the front cover of the Mixon’s in the Grove wedding catalog!

There are a few more of dad’s images in the catalog so be sure to look through it.  It is a terrific venue and dad was excited to be there again a few weeks ago for Marisol and Neil’s wedding.  They say it is good luck to have it rain on your wedding day so Marisol and Neil are going to have a great life together!  The rain moved the ceremony into the pavilion and the reception continued there.  Dad’s favorite part of the reception were the hand painted candies.  They were gorgeous!!  The candies were made by Divinia Jeanne’s Chocolate Heaven (941-366-5888).  Congratulations Marisol and Neal!

The hand painted candies were in a variety of colors, all absolutely beautiful!
