Disney’s Wedding Pavilion and Citricos at the Grand Floridan: Wendy and Eric

June 16, 2010 – 10:38 pm

Wendy and Eric are not only a gorgeous couple, but they are so much fun as well!  They were married at Disney’s Wedding Pavilion with their cake and champagne reception at Citricos Restaurant at the Grand Floridian Resort and Spa in Walt Disney World.  Their wedding colors were black and white and yellow which always look so great together!  When Wendy first contacted us, she described herself and Eric as kids at heart.  Well of course anyone who knows dad knows that is him as well so he hit it off right away with Wendy and Eric!  Despite the rain pouring down outside, the bride and groom had a blast and didn’t stop laughing and enjoying themselves for a minute.  Wendy and Eric, we wish you a life filled with the love, laughter, and happiness you shared on your wedding day.  Congratulations!

Mom loves Eric’s tie!

Just for Wendy and Eric:

Wedding at the Powel Crosley Estate: Erin and Robert

June 14, 2010 – 3:25 am

It had been a year since dad had seen Erin and Robert for their engagement session in Sarasota.  He was happy to join them again on their wedding day two weeks ago!  They were married at the historic Powel Crosley Estate on the Sarasota Bay.  Kathy from Simply Gourmet Caterers acted as the couple’s day of coordinator and of course they provided the yummy food as well.  Erin was a beautiful bride!  She had Linda from A Victorian Bride there to do makeup and her bouquet and other flowers were from Flowers by Fudgie.  At the reception, Rob Sword of Sword Sounds was the DJ and was terrific to work with as usual.  The wedding cake was made by Troyer’s Dutch Heritage.

Erin and Robert were so happy and did not stop smiling all day.  We know that happiness will only grow as they build their life together as husband and wife.  Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs.!

Wedding at the Hilton Clearwater Beach Resort: Amy and Paul

June 12, 2010 – 12:40 pm

Amy and Paul’s beach wedding at the Hilton Clearwater Beach Resort was lots of fun!  From the bride’s Steve Madden jelly shoes to the groom’s surf board to the impromptu game of musical chairs at the reception to the skateboarders during the bride and groom pictures, it was a blast!  Irene of For Better For Less was the florist, Doug Decker from Grant Hemond kept the crowd going as the DJ, and Chantilly Cakes made the wedding cake.  It was an awesome day for an awesome couple!  Dad says he wants Paul to send a picture of his office once he hangs the Pennywise surf board in it.  He saw it and bought it on his wedding day!  Mom thinks they should have gone out in the water and surfed with it.  They could have dried off with their cute personalized wedding towels!  Congratulations Amy and Paul!

Wedding at the TradeWinds: Stacy and Rocky

June 10, 2010 – 9:20 pm

Stacy and Rocky had their wedding on St. Pete Beach at the TradeWinds Resorts.  Their wonderful team of vendors included Cari of Kyle Lynn Cosmetics for hair and makeup, Publix for the beautiful flowers and the cake (events0754@publix.com), Reverend Tom Greene as the officiant (727-403-6308), and Doug Decker of Grant Hemond as the DJ.  The wedding colors were bright pink and orange and mom really liked how they looked on the couple’s shimmery stationary.  They say rain is good luck on your wedding day and Stacy and Rocky were lucky that the rain did not start until after the ceremony and that the staff at the TradeWinds was able to move everything from the South Lawn to a ballroom inside quickly and efficiently.

Thanks to Stacy and Rocky for having dad share in your wedding day celebration!  You have a terrific family and we wish you lots of happiness!

Wedding at the Grand Plaza: Nanette and Jeffrey

June 9, 2010 – 12:34 am

Jason photographed Nanette and Jeff’s engagement session and was happy to see them again for their wedding at the beautiful Grand Plaza.  It was a great day for a beach wedding!  Family and friends gathered to see the couple exchange vows by the water and then everyone enjoyed a gorgeous sunset that evening.  Nanette had her hair done by London Hair, Marsha Marie was the couple’s florist, Josh Lorenzo of Expert Productions was the DJ at the reception, and Le Cheesecake made the wedding cake.  Dad liked seeing that Nanette and Jeff used their engagement pictures for different reception details like the signature frame and the card box.

Congratulations Nanette and Jeff!  Best wishes for much happiness in your lives together.

Mom’s favorite part of this picture is that everyone seems to be very excited about looking out the window except for the one guy  sitting on the couch watching the television.

Lange Farm Wedding: Caroline and David

June 2, 2010 – 4:38 am

We are so excited to share some images from Caroline and Dave’s beautiful wedding.  Dad photographed the couple’s engagement session in November and we have all been looking forward to their day for a while!  Caroline and Dave were married at the Lange Farm, a picturesque venue with terrific people.  The bride and groom put together an awesome team of vendors including Chad Whelan as the videographer, Pam Verschuere for flowers, Amy of Not from a Box for stationary, Alafia String Quartet for ceremony music, Mise En Place for catering, Doug Decker of Grant Hemond as the DJ, Shutterbooth for a photo booth, Kathryn Flocken of Paper Portraits for hand cut silhouette pictures used as the guest book as as favors for the guests, and Wright’s Bakery for an assortment of cakes that were both pretty and very yummy!  There were so many details that were meaningful to the couple and their families and that is what really makes a wedding special.  It all came together so well!

At the wedding, Caroline, Dave, and their families made dad feel like one of the family.  He had such a great time with all of them.  The wedding day was filled with the past, present, and future of a young couple joining their lives and their families together.  Dad said it was an honor to be there to share in the love and celebration of the day.  The bride’s mom, Vicki, is simply an amazing person and mom wanted to send a special thank you to her for being so fun, good-hearted, and kind.  We have loved being a part of the excitement of this special time for Caroline, Dave, and their families and we cannot wait to see what wonderful blessings the future holds for them!  Congratulations Caroline and Dave!
