Wedding at the Mirror Lake Lyceum: Jamie and Tristan

Wednesday, July 7, 2010 1:39 am

Jamie and Tristan are such good-hearted wonderful people and dad was honored to take part in their wedding day. They had donated 101 cans of food as part of our contest to help feed the hungry (WOW!) and won an engagement session with dad. Their wedding day was in June and they were married at the Mirror Lake Lyceum. Meghan of Dream Day Productions was their coordinator and she did a terrific job, along with the rest of a talented team of vendors including the awesome Darla Stafford, Cara of Hearts Video, Delma’s, The Flower Booth, A Better Cheesecake, Amici’s Catering, and the always fun RJ Vida of Advance Entertainment Productions.

The wedding’s theme was A Midsummer’s Night Dream and the flower girls wore pretty fairy costumes in purples and greens. Mom loved the bridesmaids’ attire! They all had different colored gowns in beautiful summer colors. The reception was decorated in pinks and purples and greens with lots of orchids and branches. Tables were named after couples from Shakespeare plays and guests got their seating assignments on a booklet of cookie recipes. Guests were also treated to lots and lots of homemade cookies. Thanks to Meghan for setting some aside and sending them home for us, and of course thanks to Jamie and Tristan for that as well!

It was a day filled with emotion and love to celebrate an amazing couple. We are incredibly happy for them and the wonderful future they have to look forward to. Tristan and Jamie, thank you so much for having us share in your wedding and we hope you two stay in touch!

Wedding at the Mirror Lake Lyceum: Amy and Evan

Tuesday, April 20, 2010 2:38 am

After an engagement session in February and a bridal session in March, dad was happy to photograph Amy and Evan’s wedding in April! They were married at the Mirror Lake Lyceum. Amy had her hair and makeup done at Spa Olimpia and the couple had Carter’s Florist for their bouquets, Delectables as the caterer, Ty Chaney with Dueling Pianos for entertainment, A Piece of Cake for the wedding cake, and A Better Cheesecake for the groom’s cake. Amy might not have had it on her vendor list but mom thinks that one of Amy’s best vendors was White House Black Market for her fabulous shoes! Of course they were perfect for a white and black themed wedding. All of the bridesmaids wore black dresses and the groomsmen wore black tuxes.

Amy and Evan are terrific together and we know there is much happiness for them in their future. Dad has really enjoyed being part of the excitement leading up to their day and of course sharing their wedding day with them as well! Congratulations newlyweds!

Jamie and Walter’s New Year’s Eve Wedding at the Carlouel Yacht Club

Wednesday, January 20, 2010 10:03 pm

We are finally blogging our last wedding of 2009! Jamie and Walter were married in a beautiful morning ceremony on the beach. Their reception at the Carlouel Yacht Club was a brunch complete with a chef making omelettes and pancakes to order. Brunch receptions are dad’s favorite so he was very excited! Jamie’s J Crew gown was perfect for her morning beach wedding and she carried a bouquet of orchids by Open Air Florist. The officiant was Nancy from A Florida Wedding Ceremony and the cake was made by A Better Cheesecake.

Jamie and Walter made their day even more special by including their son in the ceremony and by giving him his own cake to cut at the reception. It was an ice cream cake in the shape of a car, and it is easy to tell from the pictures how much he enjoyed it! Dad said there is lots of love and happiness in their family. We hope it only grows as years go on.

Congratulations Jamie and Walter! Thank you for having us end our 2009 weddings with such a beautiful day!

Jenise and Seth’s Wedding at Davis Islands Garden Club

Tuesday, November 10, 2009 12:16 am

Jenise and Seth were married on Saturday at the Davis Islands Garden Club. Jenise’s sister Elyse was her maid of honor and dad will be photographing Elyse’s wedding next October! Darla Stafford and Julie were with Jenise that morning for her hair and makeup. Jenise has gorgeous eyes and mom loved how her makeup made them even more striking.

The wedding colors were brown and orange which are perfect for a fall wedding. There were lots of gerber daisies in the bouquets and as the centerpieces. The cake was made by A Better Cheesecake and dad said it was very yummy!

Jenise and Seth are headed to Cancun for their honeymoon. Dad told them to visit Isle Mujeres while they are there and rent a golf cart to drive around the island. Have a terrific time you two! Congratulations!

Amber and Thomas at the Lange Farm

Tuesday, March 10, 2009 10:44 pm

Dad started his day on Saturday at Shear Art Salon in Tampa. Amber and her bridesmaids got their hair done there before being picked up by a limo and heading to The Lange Farm. Dad loves the staff at the Lange Farm, and the location is awesome. It was so fun for dad to run into Nancy and Tracy as they had a meeting there! They are a couple whose wedding dad will be photographing in June of 2010.

Colored wedding shoes are so cute. Amber had blue shoes to wear under her beautiful gown. The gown was both romantic and fun with pretty detailing and ribbon banding on it. Long ribbons were also part of the decor on many of the floral arrangements and bouquets, though those ribbons were in the wedding colors of peach and blue. Mom thought the color combination was unique and looked cute together! Dad loved that the couple included many images from their engagement session throughout their day. One of the pictures was the front cover for the programs. Another was in a beautiful frame etched with the lyrics to “It Had to Be You.” Dad’s favorite though was the groom’s cake. Even on your wedding day, sometimes your friends just have to rag on you. Thomas had taken the day off of work when he had his engagement session. When his friends and co-workers saw one of his pictures, they couldn’t help but tease him by making it into a funny cake. Another detail at the wedding that dad really loved was the statue made to look like the couple. One of the groomsmen made it using pictures of the couple and of the bride’s dress. He did a great job replicating both the couple and Amber’s dress. Dad wants him to make one of our family!

Amber and Thomas had Collin Towers as their videographer, A Better Cheesecake for their wedding cake, and the talented Felix the DJ at the reception to keep the party going. It was a great day, and even when things started to run behind the couple was still in high spirits and ready for fun! At the end of the night, they departed through a bubble send off. Congratulations Amber and Thomas!
