At all three of last weekend’s weddings, dad got to see some of his past couples again. At Sunday’s wedding, two of the couples in the wedding party were couples whose weddings dad had photographed! Becky and Jed and Alondra and Stan are all terrific people and dad was excited to see them all again at Rochelle and Derek’s wedding.
The previous night dad had worked with Ben from Grant Hemond and he told dad they’d be working together for Rochelle and Derek’s wedding too. When Ben found out that dad knew Rochelle and Derek from past weddings, he asked what the crowd would be like. Dad told Ben to get ready for some fun!
The wedding was held at the Davis Island Garden Club in Tampa. The black, gray, and yellow that the couple chose as the wedding colors looked awesome together. The couple also incorporated lots of golf details from personalized tees as favors to a cake topper of the bride and groom with their daughter and their dog all playing golf. Rochelle got ready that morning with Michele Renee from the Michele Renee Hair and Makeup Artist Group and dad enjoyed seeing her again. Rochelle had her hair swept completely up in curls into a beautiful updo.
Mom absolutely loved the flower girls’ dresses, and the tea kettles they carried down the aisle (using their adorable white gloves) were so creative and pretty!
The city of Tampa makes a nice backdrop for pictures.
The parent dances were both very emotional. Dad said it was very sweet to watch.
It just would not be a wedding without Rochelle and her sister Tina doing the robot! Dad says Tina is a great person too and he thinks she should renew her vows so dad can photograph her “wedding” as well. Dad knew the reception would be a lot of fun. How could it not be with this group of family and friends?!
Mom wanted us to share this picture for two reasons. One, we just blogged about hair and this shows how long dad’s hair is now. Two, one of the reasons mom loves dad so much is because he is such a kid at heart!
Rochelle looking gorgeous!
Congratulations to the newlyweds, and mom and dad hope everyone is sure to keep in touch!!!
