The Slackadaisal Bride and the Groomzilla

On Monday dad was honored to meet Karen, the slacker bride, and Toddzilla as they were married on Siesta Key Beach.  Don’t worry, that’s what Karen called herself and Todd, not dad.  They are an amazingly awesome couple!  Dad had so much fun just emailing with Karen and he knew that in person they would be a blast.  They had a small wedding with just two friends, dad, and Meghan from Dream Day Productions.  Meghan was great!  She helped the couple put their day together, including the bouquet, decor, music, and more.

The wedding took place on the spot where Todd proposed.  What a special ceremony!  One of the couple’s friends officiated the wedding while the other was a reader.  Dad was honored to have a part in the ceremony as well and he read a blessing for Karen and Todd.   After the romantic ceremony, dad photographed the couple on the beach for sunset.  They then had their cake cutting with a pretty cake from Publix before a few more pictures at night.

Though it is so much fun to joke around with Karen and Todd, with all kidding aside we think they are terrific people and we wish them all the best.  We hope they keep the laughter through their marriage.  Thank you so much for including us in such a special day.  It was “exxxxcellennnnt.”

Heather and Richard’s Wedding

Just before Christmas we blogged about Heather and Richard’s engagement session and now we can share some pictures of their wedding which took place the Saturday after Christmas!  Dad met up with Heather that morning as Julissa of Beauty Brought Out was there for hair and makeup.  Heather was just as relaxed and silly on her wedding day as she was at her engagement session.  Dad was happy to see Lauren again too!  She was a bridesmaid in the wedding.  All of the girls were laughing and enjoying the morning, even the two flower girls who were a lot of fun all day.

The ceremony took place at Church of the Palms in Sarasota and it was decorated for Christmas.  There were poinsettias all over the alter along with Christmas trees, garland, and big wreaths.  It looked so pretty and festive!  The reception was held at the Sahib Shriners Convention Hall and the DJ was Brian with Black Tie DJs.  Dad says you can tell that a party is really going well when the macarena can pack the dance floor.  Heather, Richard, and both of their families were so nice and dad enjoyed celebrating such a great day with them.

We hope you both have a wonderful life together and always have as many smiles for one another as you did on your wedding day!

Janet and Nicholas

The Tradewinds Island Resorts in St. Petersburg is a beautiful place for a beach wedding.  Janet and Nicholas were married there last Friday.  We want to thank Nicholas for his military service!

Julissa with Beauty Brought Out was there during the getting ready for hair and makeup.  Janet had a beautiful updo and wore two white flowers in her hair rather than a veil.

The look on Nicholas’s face when he first saw Janet was so tender and loving.

Pictures with the bride and groom on the beach:

Nicholas changed into different clothes for the reception, and Janet wore a different dress.  She looked amazing in both of her dresses!

The wedding was intimate and romantic, and the guests had lots of fun celebrating at the reception!  Thanks to the bride and groom for having us there to capture the memories of the day.
