Wedding at the Lange Farm: Andrea and Patrick

Andrea and Pat had their blue and white vintage wedding at the beautiful Lange Farm in Dade City.  The bride and groom did a wonderful job with the details creating a romantic, vintage, down-home feel to their day.  At the ceremony the “Here Comes the Bride” banner was a blue quilt on burlap with lace edging. Bridesmaids carried bouquets of baby’s breath while the groomsmen had boutonnieres made from a flower on an antique key.  The reception was decorated with vintage-themed centerpieces.  There were stacks of antique books tied with ribbon, owls, and small globes next to jars of daisies.  The dinner was catered by Hungry Harry’s Famous BBQ and the wedding cake was beautifully decorated with a ribbon on the middle tier.  For the guest book, guests wrote messages on paper with vintage icons and pinned them to an antique bulletin board.

The wedding details came together beautifully!  Congratulations to Andrea and Pat!  We wish them a lifetime of happiness.

Wedding at the Lake Mary Events Center: Lindsey and Ivan

Jason met up with Lindsey and Ivan two weeks before their wedding for an engagement session.  They were terrific and Jason was happy to be there for their wedding at the Lake Mary Events Center.  Lindsey had her hair and makeup done by Kristy of Kristy’s Artistry.  The wedding colors were black, white, and red.  Lindsey carried a beautiful bouquet or red roses on a base of fluffy white feathers.  The florist was Vintage Vines and there were lots of red roses for both the ceremony and the reception.  The centerpieces were red roses decorated with pearls.  Lindsey and Ivan had Reminisce Productions as the videographer for their day and Puff N Stuff was the caterer.

The ceremony was outside and took place at sunset.  Jason had a wonderful time sharing the day with Lindsey, Ivan, and their family and friends.  He had lots of fun with Casey and Nathan whose wedding Jason photographed almost 4 years ago!  But I think Jason’s favorite part of the wedding was the orange Lamborghini!

Congratulations Lindsey and Ivan, and we hope you had a terrific time in Costa Rica!

Wedding at Mixon’s in the Grove: Ashley and Sean

“True to me, kind to me, never deceiving; Cheering me, helping me, ever believing;

Sad for me, glad for me, never apart; Dear to me, near to me, Pal of my Heart.

Clean-hearted, true-hearted, all the way thru; Uplifting and tender, wonderful you!

Fair to me, square to me, life’s dearest party, -

Best to me, blest to me, Pal of my Heart.”

That is the poem that Ashley and Sean used at their wedding and gave to their guests on their personalized favors.  They were married at Mixon’s in the Grove which is a terrific location for a Florida wedding with its beautiful orange trees!  Jason always buys orange juice there but it never makes it home.

Oneco Florist did the flowers for the wedding which included the bride’s bouquet of white orchids.  At the reception the wedding cake was made by Matt and Dom’s.  The cake topper of a bride fishing for her groom was cute.  Jason thought it was even more fitting for the day because during the ceremony there was a bird in the background fishing as well!

Congratulations to Ashley and Sean!

Wedding at the Feather Sound Country Club: Natalie and Jon-Michael

Natalie and Jon-Michael were married at the Feather Sound Country Club in Clearwater.  Natalie was a beautiful bride and she lit up every time she looked at Jon-Michael.  The wedding had a fall theme with leaves decorating the sides of the aisle, the tree centerpieces, the cake and cake table, and other tables.  Pretty autumn orange floral arrangements were at the beginning and end of the aisle.  DD’s Blooms was the florist who put the bouquets and arrangements together.  At the reception each table had a tree with the table number on it as well as leaves and hanging candles.  The decor not only reflected the fall theme but also the main wedding color which was purple.  Rob Sword of Sword Sounds was the officiant and the DJ for the wedding.  Jason loves working with him and he is terrific person.  The cake was made by Queens of Cake and had colorful leaves draping all of the tiers.

Congratulations to the bride and groom and thanks for including us in your wedding day!  We hope your honeymoon cruise was amazing!

Wedding at the USF Gibbons Alumni Center: Michele and Nathan

Michele and Nathan had one of Jason’s favorite engagement sessions ever.  They made it all about their styles, their personalities, the things they like, and they included many people from their wedding party as well.  Their engagement session was zombie invasion and Michele and Nathan made it into a terrific production with the makeup, props, and even fog machines!  Knowing how much this couple loves horror and fall and making things their own, we could not wait for their wedding day!

The wedding was held at the USF Gibbons Alumni Center with the ceremony in The Courtyard and the reception in the USF Parents Association Club Room/Atrium.  Michele had the wonderful Darla Stafford as her hair and makeup artist.  At the reception the caterer was Amici’s and the wedding cake was from Publix.  The wedding details were awesome and really reflected Michele and Nathan’s style and personalities!  The flowers were beautiful shades of orange and yellow with some wheat stalks.  There were glitzy pumpkins as decorations and on one of the cake tiers.  The garter had a silly scull face and the boutonniere had little zombie men on them.  The ceremony included the pagan custom of handfasting where the couple’s hands were fastened together with a cord to form an infinity symbol.  At the reception the wedding party entered carrying light sabers and formed a line for the ring bearer (Michele and Nathan’s son) to enter wearing a Darth Vader mask.  There were so many ways that Michele and Nathan included to create a wedding day unique to the two of them and filled with laughter and love.

Michele and Nathan, thank you for letting us be part of this experience with you!  It has been great getting to know you during your wedding planning.  We are so happy for your family and wish you so much happiness in your future together!
