Jason Angelini — Sun, 20 Jun 2010 06:45:45 +0000

“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!

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!

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!

A La Carte Event Pavilion Wedding: Michelle and Zach

Jason Angelini — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 08:24:42 +0000

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!

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

Jason Angelini — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 08:53:18 +0000

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.

What a stunning bride!

Jessica and Chris at Davis Island Garden Club

Jason Angelini — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 20:53:04 +0000

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!

Mom’s favorite bridesmaid shoes ever!

Don’t you love the yellow with orange and green accents for a spring wedding? The girls look so pretty.

Dad said it was great to see Brie and Rich again. Brie said she might be doing a Back in the Dress session soon which would be a blast! Here they are doing the Gator chomp:
