We’re Published in Tampa Bay Weddings Magazine!

Those of you who follow us on Facebook have already heard how excited we are :)Sharon and Larry’s wedding was featured in Tampa Bay Weddings Magazine!  It is always so much fun to see our images in a magazine.  Be sure to check out the digital edition or go buy a copy to see us in print!

And thanks to the other vendors from Sharon and Larry’s wedding who did a great job with the details as well!  They are listed in the magazine and include Jessica of Simply Divine Events (a special thanks to her!), Any from Not from a Box, Events in Bloom, Catering by Design, Cakes by Nomeda, Josh of Inspire Entertainment, and more.

At the end of the magazine, they used one more of our images for as their “Ever After”.  It is the gorgeous picture by the water from Michelle and Zach’s wedding!

Thanks to Sharon, Larry, Michelle, and Zach as well for having us there to photograph your weddings and allowing us to create these beautiful images!

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!

We Absolutely Have the BEST Couples!

Mom Blogging:

Jason and I are completely humbled by how wonderful our couples are.  We get to meet some really amazing people.  When Casey and Nathan saw our “Feed the Hungry Can Contest” they sent us a package.  It was addressed to our 4 year old which was really exciting for him.  Along with a few cans and a gift card for more cans, they had sent monster bags with some toys and candy inside for the boys and a baby photo album for their little sister.  The card inside, again addressed to our son who had the idea for this contest, said:

“Nathan and I just want to thank you for putting together this canned goods food collection.  It is a wonderful reminder of how lucky we are and how necessary it is for us all to reach out and help anyone in need.  I hope you enjoy the goodies we have sent for you and your brother and sister.”

Thank you Casey and Nathan!  You two are awesome.  Stay in touch!

Thanks Megan and Jesse!

We love mail from our couples, but dad was especially excited to get a card from Megan and Jesse (click here for the blog post of their wedding) when he saw how they addressed the envelope (we removed the actual address from the picture):

Their super sweet Thank You card said:

Jason,

You are an amazing photographer!  All of our guests have been raving about the photos.  We are totally in love with your work.  You are a wedding ninja!  You were everywhere at once, yet never noticeable.  You are like Waldo in our wedding video.”

Megan and Jesse, your wedding was amazing!  Thank you for all your kindness and we hope your images bring back lots of happy memories as the years go on.
