Wedding at the Mirror Lake Lyceum: Bonnie and Karl

“It’s more than a feeling, this is the real thing we got here.

We are flirting with greatness, God’s been so gracious.

He is holding onto you.

And me.

And we can rest easy…”

Bonnie and Karl are an awesome couple!  They were so much fun at their engagement session, dixielicious and all, and dad was really excited to be there for their wedding day!  They were married at Church by the Sea with their reception following at Mirror Lake Lyceum.  Cari of Kyle Lynn Cosmetics did Bonnie’s hair and makeup, not that Bonnie needed much help.  She is gorgeous!  Janet Baldwin was the florist, Orange Blossom was the caterer, Cakes by Carolyn made the cake, and the terrific Doug Decker of Grant Hemond was the DJ.

Bonnie and Karl are so in love with their faith and with life, and both of those just strengthens their love for each other.  Their happiness is contagious and you cannot help but smile when you see them together.  We know they have a long and wonderful future to look forward to.  Bonnie and Karl, thank you for letting us share in your happy memories!  Congratulations to a fantastic couple, and keep in touch!

Wedding at the TradeWinds: Stacy and Rocky

Stacy and Rocky had their wedding on St. Pete Beach at the TradeWinds Resorts.  Their wonderful team of vendors included Cari of Kyle Lynn Cosmetics for hair and makeup, Publix for the beautiful flowers and the cake (events0754@publix.com), Reverend Tom Greene as the officiant (727-403-6308), and Doug Decker of Grant Hemond as the DJ.  The wedding colors were bright pink and orange and mom really liked how they looked on the couple’s shimmery stationary.  They say rain is good luck on your wedding day and Stacy and Rocky were lucky that the rain did not start until after the ceremony and that the staff at the TradeWinds was able to move everything from the South Lawn to a ballroom inside quickly and efficiently.

Thanks to Stacy and Rocky for having dad share in your wedding day celebration!  You have a terrific family and we wish you lots of happiness!

Wedding at the Doubletree Beach Resort: Samantha and Alan

Samantha and Alan came from Ireland for their wedding ceremony at St. John Vianney Catholic Church and the reception following at the Doubletree Beach Resort on North Redington Beach.  Samantha had her hair and makeup done by the talented Cari of Kyle Lynn Studios.  Irene of For Better For Less made the pink and white bouquets.  Dad always enjoys working with Rob Sword of Sword Sounds and he had the dance floor packed for the reception.  It was such a fun day and dad had a blast talking and joking with all the guests.  Everyone was terrific, especially the bride and groom who just radiated happiness.  Congratulations Samantha and Alan, and many blessings for your future as husband and wife!

Wedding at the Davis Islands Garden Club: Alyssa and Peter

Alyssa and Peter had their engagement session with dad in Tampa and on May day they were back in Tampa with dad for their wedding day!  Their wedding colors were purple and green which looked bright and fun together.  Alyssa even wore pretty purple shoes!  The wedding was at Davis Islands Garden Club and the couple decorated with purple and green pillows, paper lanterns, and uplighting.  Cari of Kyle Lynn did Alyssa’s hair and makeup.  Mom loved how Alyssa’s hair looked.  She was such a beautiful bride!  David from Trinity Wedding Video was great to work with as the videographer.  The purple and green flowers were done by Irene at For Better For Less.  At the reception, Rob Sword of Sword Sounds was the DJ and the cake was made by Chocolate Pi.

Alyssa and Peter are so nice and so in love!  It was great for dad to be there to share their wedding day with them.  Congratulations you two!

Wedding at the Rusty Pelican: Nicole and Eli

Nicole and Eli are just an awesome couple.  Dad photographed their engagement session last summer and had a great time with them.  He knew their wedding was going to rock!  Dad joined Nicole and Eli for their wedding at the Rusty Pelican.  Though the weather was a bit gray that day, Nicole and Eli were all smiles.  They had a terrific team of vendors including John Melchinger from A Perfect Witness as the officiant, Irene of For Better For Less for their beautiful flowers, Chad Whelan for videography, DJ Frank Lebano to get everyone dancing, and Chantilly Cakes for the wedding cake.  Nicole and Eli’s wedding colors were yellow and blue.  The flowers they used mostly yellow roses with blue hydrangea with accents of white stephanotis for the bride’s bouquet and groom’s boutonniere.  They also had blue candy for their candy table which went great with their blue and white cake.  The photo booth there was a big hit with the guests, and with dad and Chad!

The newlyweds went to Italy for their honeymoon.  We hope they built many fantastic memories on their trip to start off their life together.  Nicole and Eli, you two are wonderful and we are so happy for you!
