Tracy and Joel were so much fun! Jason joined them on their wedding day at the Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach Resort and Spa. Tamara from Eyes on You did Tracy’s hair and makeup as she got ready for her walk down the aisle. The ceremony was on the Sky Terrace with Tom Erickson as the officiant. Jason always enjoys working with Heather of Rose Garden Flowers who was the florist. Guests had a great time at the reception with yummy food, funny props, a cake from Chantilly Cakes, and music by DJ Ben from Grant Hemond.

“At the beach, life is different. A day moves not from hour to hour but leaps from mood to moment. … We measure happiness by nothing we can hold… nothing we can catch. … We want to [stretch] the days, distill the memories, make them last.” -Sandy Gingras

People come from all over the world to start their lives together surrounded by the beauty of the Florida beaches. It is a romantic and relaxing backdrop for a day of love and celebration. Tiffany and Chris came from Minnesota for their wedding at the wonderful Grand Plaza Beachfront Resort. Jason joined them to capture memories of their special day. Tiffany looked gorgeous! I am in love with her hair which she wore in a high ponytail with volume on the top. It showed off the detailing on the back of her gown perfectly. The wedding party was barefoot in the sand and the guys wore sunglasses for the ceremony, making it a true beach wedding! The wedding cake at the reception was made by Cakes by Ron. Jason went back out to the beach with Tiffany and Chris for bride and groom pictures at sunset. It was a laid-back and fun day for a great couple. Thanks for having Jason there Tiffany and Chris!

Jason had a great time at Katie and Shane’s wedding! The ceremony was held at Disney’s Wedding Pavilion and the reception was in the ballroom of the Grand Floridian. Katie wore her hair in an updo of loose curls. She was a gorgeous bride! Her hair and makeup were done by Beaute Speciale. Katie also wore small flowers as accents in her hair. The flowers and bouquets were shades of white and pink and were put together by Elizabeth Sutton for Disney Floral. Also part of the Disney vendor team was Teresa Knox who was the officiant for the ceremony. At the reception, Chuck of Classic Disc Jockeys was the DJ. The bride and groom had a Disney bus as transportation for their guests. How fun!

Congratulations to a wonderful couple on their magical wedding day. We know this day was just the start of their “Happily Ever After.” Thank you Katie and Shane for having Jason there to be a part of it!

The Grand Plaza is an awesome venue for a Florida beach wedding. Jason was excited to be part of Nelly and Carl’s wedding there! It was terrific working with the amazing Cherish again, and Nelly had her hair and makeup done by the talented and super sweet Cari of KyleLynn Weddings. The flowers for the wedding were from Carter’s Florist and the wedding cake was made by Cakes by Carolynn.

Nelly was a gorgeous bride, and even more beautiful with the happy smile that didn’t leave her face all day. After the ceremony on the beach with Rev. Tom Greene and then pictures, Nelly and Carl headed inside for their reception. They showed off their dance moves and had a blast partying with their friends and family! Everyone had a great time celebrating this special day for Nelly and Carl. The newlyweds are headed back to the beach for their honeymoon, but this time the beaches of Jamaica! We hope it is a fantastic trip!

Lately, many couples have shared this picture with Jason as one of their inspiration pictures. It takes a really fun and expressive bunch of guys to pull it off! Carl and his groomsmen were perfect!

The day before Natalie and Vicente’s one year anniversary, they were blessed with the best gift. Their daughter was born! Jason had photographed Natalie and Vicente’s engagement session and their wedding. He was honored to be able to photograph their baby girl’s newborn session. She was just four days old when Jason met her and she was so adorable! Natalie and Vicente’s engagement session was almost one year before their wedding, and their baby girl was born almost one year after. Jason can’t wait to see what next year brings to this wonderful family!

It is wonderful seeing Nicole and Dustin grow their family! Jason has enjoyed getting to know their family. He first them when Nicole was pregnant with their first and met with Jason for a maternity session. They had a baby boy and Jason photographed his newborn session, his 6 month session, and his one year session to capture the fun milestones of his first year. He is two and a half now and recently became a big brother! Nicole and Dustin brought baby sister over for her newborn session. It was terrific catching up with them and seeing their son as a loving big brother! Congratulations to this beautiful family!

Wedding at the Powel Crosley Estate: Anuradha and Bharani’s Indian Wedding

Jason Angelini — Tue, 04 Jun 2013 17:56:32 +0000

Jason loved Anu and Bharani’s wedding! Dancing in the streets, bright colors, beautiful decor, an awesome couple, and lots of love and laughter – what an amazing day! The wedding was at the Powel Crosley Estate with Sarah Lansky as the day of coordinator. Anu was a gorgeous bride! She had her hair and makeup done by Geetaz. Her red sari stood out brilliantly against the bridesmaids and the yellow decor at the reception. Flowers by Fudgie was the florist and Affairs in the Air set up the lighting. Jason had Van Tran with him as a second shooter during the ceremony to help capture all the fun events and traditions. To keep things simple for people visiting our blog to see Jason’s pictures, we didn’t share any of Van’s images here, but Jason said it was great to work with him and we appreciate his help!

The horse for the groom’s procession (the Baraat) was from Sunshine Carriages and the priest at the ceremony was Pandit Vishnu (813-728-7512). It was a meaningful ceremony with traditions such as the Jaimala where the bride and groom exchange flower garlands, the Agni Pradikshina where the bride and groom’s garmets are joined together, the Mangalphera or walk around the sacred fire, and the Saptapadi where the priest guides the bride and groom to take seven steps forward in their first act as a married couple. There was history and cultural tradition in each part of the start of their lives as husband and wife. What a wonderful foundation for their marriage!

The reception was outside in a tent from U.S. Tent Rental. I love the deep yellow color used for linens and decor! There were also candles and tall crystal candelabras. Dinner was from Milan Catering with a cake made by Publix. The music was from Dudha Productions and guests had fun in the photo booth from Shutterbooth. Jason was honored to be part of such a beautiful day for a terrific couple. Congratulations and thank you Anu and Bharani!

It is such an amazing feeling to see a family grow and know that we are helping to capture such special memories for them! Jason met Angie and Brent when their son was a newborn. It is hard to believe that was over two years ago already! Jason caught up with their family again not long ago for a maternity session. Angie and Brent were expecting a baby girl! Their daughter was just four days old when she came over for her newborn session. Big brother was amazing with her, and it was like their baby girl had always been with them as part of their family. They are such wonderful people and we are very happy for them! Time is sure to go by quickly, as it always does when kids are young, and we can’t wait to see their son and daughter reach new milestones!

Jason cannot wait for Michelle and Jeff’s wedding! They were so much fun at their engagement session and he is looking forward to a night of celebration and laughter for their wedding day this fall. I think they should reenact the karate kid pose in their wedding attire! Jeff is very model-esque with his sassy posing ! Thanks for a terrific session Michelle and Jeff!

Holli and Brett are a gorgeous couple! They were married at Tampa Bay Watch and Jason was happy to be there to capture memories of their day. Holli and her girls got ready at a condo on the beach before heading over for the outdoor ceremony by the water and then the reception. The DJ was from Grant Hemond and after the bride and groom shared a couple rounds of shots with their guests, the dance floor was packed and everyone had a great time! Holli and Brett spent their honeymoon in Europe, visiting London, Paris, Rome, and Florence. We are sure they made many terrific memories to go along with the wonderful memories they have of an amazing wedding day. Thanks so much to Holli and Brett for having us share in such a special day for you!
