And we also received the WeddingWire Bride’s Choice Award for 2011!  It is our second year being recognized for being in the top 5% of local wedding professionals demonstrating quality and service excellence from the WeddingWire Network!

A HUGE THANK YOU to all of our amazing brides!  We are grateful to all of you for allowing us to do what we love.  Thank you for inviting us into the special moments of your lives and allowing us to capture your memories.  We are so blessed!

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!

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!

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!

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!

Our canned food drive ends Wednesday so contact us if you want to set up a time to drop off your food!

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.

After the wedding, we received a beautiful Thank You card from them in the mail:

“Jason – it was a pleasure again!  Everyone commented on how great you were to work with.  The pictures turned out beautiful! As you can see from the card, we love the images!

Lucia – thank you so much for answering my questions, and being so helpful!  We wish you both the best, and have a great summer!

- Carolyn and Todd”

Mom and dad say thanks to both of you for including them in your day, and of course for the wonderful card.  You are such an awesome couple!

We were impressed with the quality of the thank you card and the pretty swirl design and asked Carolyn where she ordered them.  She told us about Plush Paper Creations where she had ordered her wedding day paper items.  They had also blogged about Carolyn and Todd’s thank you cards:

More of Carolyn and Todd’s wedding paper products can also be seen on Plush Paper Creation’s blog.  Click here to view that blog post of their blue and white beach themed paper items, as well as table numbers featuring their dog!

Lauren recently blogged about vintage weddings and featured two of our weddings.  Check out her “Vintage Weddings by Jason Angelini” blog post!

Lauren also recently blogged a “Vintage Garden” inspiration board using one of Megan and Jesse’s pictures.  The vintage themed wedding is becoming a popular new trend, with bird cage veils, wing tip shoes, chandeliers, and other beautiful details.

Thanks to Lauren for including us on your blog!
