A La Carte Event Pavilion Wedding: Michelle and Zach

When Michelle talked about her wedding day, you could tell that she was just as excited (if not more!) about her future as Zach’s wife as she was about the day itself.  That is always a wonderful thing.  Dad had photographed Michelle and Zach’s engagement sessions last summer and was happy to join them again on their wedding day.  They were married at Saints Peter and Paul Maronite Catholic Church with their reception at the beautiful A La Carte Event Pavilion.  They always do such a great job with the decor and Michelle and Zach’s wedding was no exception.  The ceiling was draped in fabric with crystal chandeliers hanging, and purple lighting gave a splash of color to the black and white colors of the wedding.  Dana Dineen was the florist and created beautiful arrangements of white flowers for the bouquet, ceremony alter, and reception centerpieces.  Ian of Movie Magic Productions was the videographer and dad was happy to work with him again.  It was dad’s first time working with Tony of Grant Hemond and he did a great job playing music that kept Michelle, Zach, and their family and friends on the dance floor.

Michelle was a beautiful bride.  She wore a gorgeous Anne Barge gown from Malindy Elene Couture and mom loved the detailing on the bodice.  Cari from KyleLynn did Michelle’s hair with soft curls.  When Zach first saw her, he looked so proud to be marrying her.

It was easy to see how loved Michelle and Zach are.  Their friends and family had a wonderful time witnessing their vows and celebrating the start to their life together.  Congratulations newlyweds!  Many blessings to you both in your life as husband and wife!

Mandi and Jeremy’s New Year’s Day Wedding at the RiverHouse

We ended 2009 with a beautiful wedding and started 2010 the same way!  Mandi and Jeremy were married on New Year’s Day at the Woodland Community Church.  Their reception was at The RiverHouse on the Manatee River in Palmetto.  The couple put together a wonderful team of vendors including Cari of KyleLynn Cosmetics for hair and makeup, Cara from Heart’s Video as the videographer, Flowers by Don as the florist, Olympia Catering for the food and cake, and Rob Sword of Sword Sounds as the DJ.

Dad enjoyed watching Mandi and Jeremy start off the new year by starting their lives together.  They were so happy to be in love!  Congratulations Mandi and Jeremy, and we hope you had a blast at Disney and your cruise!0

Leah and Andrew’s Wedding at the Lange Farm

Dad photographed Leah and Andrew’s engagement session 6 months ago and they had fun climbing onto buildings and splashing in the water.  Their wedding day was the Sunday after Thanksgiving at the Lange Farm.  This is one of dad’s most favorite locations for both the venue and the staff.  He loved being there for weddings two days in a row!  David and his wife from Trinity Wedding Video were the videographers and they are great to work with.  Leah had the wonderful Cari of Kyle Lynn for hair and makeup.  Mom loved how Leah’s hair and makeup looked!  Kathy from Northside Florist did the flowers and the always terrific Doug Decker from Grant Hemond was the DJ at the reception.

Leah and Andrew had a peacock theme for their wedding.  The shimmery greens and blues looked pretty together!  Peacock feathers lined the ceremony aisle, and guests had programs that fanned out just like a peacock’s tail feathers.  Reception centerpieces were bird cages filled with flowers and a peacock sitting on top.  It was such a unique and creative idea for a theme and the couple did an awesome job pulling it together and making it look beautiful.

Congratulations Leah and Andrew!

Leah’s dress had amazing detailing!  It was from Sarasota Brides.

Jessica and Chris at Davis Island Garden Club

Last August dad photographed Brie and Rich’s wedding.  Not only were Brie and Rich great, but their families were also really welcoming and friendly so dad was very excited when Rich’s brother Chris got in touch about his own wedding.  A month ago dad met up with Chris and Jessica for their engagement session in Tampa.  They started in the same place where Brie had her bridal session.  How fun that both couples will have memories in the same location.

Jessica and Chris were married at Davis Island Garden Club in Tampa.  They did a terrific job decorating and mom was loving their details as she was going through their pictures!  They used yellow and green as wedding colors, perfect for an April wedding.  The wedding had branches, flowers, and plants to give it an earthy feel with shells to bring in a bit of Florida.  Branches with yellow flowers created arches at the ceremony site and were also behind the head table at the reception.  Shells on yellow ribbons hung on the ceremony chairs by the aisle.  Potted plants were given as favors for the guests and doubled as the seating assignments.  The cocktail tables had big green leaves with shells scattered around a vase.  The vase was decorated with a rafia bow and held a candle in sand and shells.  Little rafia bows were also used on the couple’s programs.  The reception room’s centerpieces were beautiful big yellow flowers next to tall vases with flowers submerged in water.  It all came together beautifully.

Jessica had her hair and makeup done by Cari Collinsworth with Kyle Lynn Studios before getting dressed in her beautiful gown.  The ceremony took place in front of the Davis Island Garden Club gazebo and was officiated by Pastor Cindy.  Catering by the Family did the food and the shell covered cake for the reception.  Dad thought it was fun when Chris took over the mic for a bit to sing for his guests.  The newlyweds left the wedding in a boat through a bubble send off.

Thanks to Jessica and Chris for a great wedding!  Congratulations!
