Wedding at Lakewood Ranch Country Club: Jackie and Brett

Dad photographed Jackie and Brett’s engagement session on a cold morning in January and it was sweet to see them holding hands and snuggling through the session.  Their wedding was a few weeks ago at Lakewood Ranch Golf and Country Club.  Jackie had her hair and makeup done by the always awesome Cari from Kyle Lynn Weddings.  The wedding color was a deep blue with accents of bright pinks, oranges, and greens.  The bouquets and floral arrangements from I Do Bouquets and Weddings were so fun and festive!

After the couple’s first sight and bride and groom pictures, the ceremony was held on the lawn with Bob Hoffman from A Perfect Witness as the officiant.  The reception was decorated with linens in that beautiful deep blue color, the bright and fun floral centerpieces, and pretty silver chairs.  The DJ was from Black Tie DJs and the wedding cake was made by Pastries by Design.

Congratulations Jackie and Brett!  We wish you a long and happy life as husband and wife!

Grand Plaza Wedding: Brandy and Mario

Brandy and Mario had such a fun engagement session at the Lowry Park zoo with dad.  He had been looking forward to their wedding day!  The couple was married at the Grand Plaza Beach Resort on St. Pete Beach.  Brandy looked amazing!  Cari of Kyle Lynn Weddings did a fantastic job with Brandy’s hair and makeup.  Brandy’s hair was done in a classic bridal updo and her makeup made her beautiful eyes sparkle even more.  The wedding colors were purple and green.  The floral arrangements and bouquets,  done by  DD’s Blooms, were mostly purples and whites to stand out against the bridesmaids’ green dresses and the green ties and vests for the groomsmen.  The ceremony was on the beach with Rob Sword of Sword Sounds as the officiant and also the DJ for the reception.  He is so talented and a great person.  The wedding cake was done by Queens of Cake.

Brandy and Mario are a wonderful couple and we are so happy for them and what is sure to be a long and happy future together.  They were surrounded by family and friends who were happy to celebrate the couple’s love and new life together.  Congratulations to the newlyweds, and thank you so much for including us in your special day!

Wedding at the River Wildnerness Golf and Country Club: Nicole and Brian

Dad had a great time with Nicole and Brian!  They had an elegant wedding but kept it lots of fun too.  Their wedding party was a blast and impressively acrobatic!  It was a terrific day.

The wedding was held at the River Wilderness Golf and Country Club.  Cari from Kyle Lynn Weddings was there for hair and makeup.  Dad enjoyed working with her again.  The flowers were done by Oneco Florist.  Dad was happy to see Grace of A Wedding with Grace and she always does a great job as the officiant.  The DJ was from DeLair Entertainment and the awesome green and black cake was made by Cakes by Ron.

The couple enjoyed some time in Key West for their honeymoon.  We hope it was a lot of fun!  Congratulations on your beautiful wedding and all the best in your future as husband and wife!

Wedding at the Westin Tampa Harbour Island: Lindsay and David

After a beautiful engagement session with Lindsay and David, dad was excited to spend the day after Thanksgiving celebrating their wedding.  They are such a sweet couple and dad said seeing them so happy and in love on their wedding day was a wonderful thing.  The wedding took place at the Westin Tampa Harbour Island.  Their coordinator was Brittany of Tickled Pink Brides and dad enjoyed meeting her.  Lindsay and David’s other vendors on their terrific team included videographer Chad Whelan who dad always has fun with, Cari of Kyle Lynn Weddings for hair and makeup, beautiful floral arrangements by Redman Steele Floral Design Studio, Bella Musica playing music during the ceremony, the always talented Rob Sword of Sword Sounds for the DJ, a pretty cake from A Piece of Cake and decor items from Fairytale Weddings and Events (727-235-2771).

Lindsay and David had their first sight before the ceremony so that they would have time for daylight pictures of the bride and groom.  It was raining a bit but dad just had the couple duck into some covered areas for pictures.  The ceremony was officiated by the bride’s uncle and having someone who knows the couple always makes it more intimate and personal.  At the reception the guests were treated to an ice cream bar and Florida Gators cookies to honor the University of Florida where the couple met, fell in love, and were engaged.  Mom thought it was cute that the cookies weren’t put out until later in the evening and the favor tags read, “See you later… Alligator!  Thanks for coming.  Go Gators!”  Those little personal details are what make every wedding so special for each couple.

The newlyweds enjoyed a honeymoon in Italy and France!  We are sure it was an amazing trip.  Lindsay and David, we hope every day of your marriage is filled with as much romance and fun as all the deep dip kisses as you shared on your wedding day:).  Congratulations!

Wedding at the Grand Plaza: Erika and Shane

Another beautiful beach wedding at the Grand Plaza Beach Resort!  Erika and Shane were married at the end of October and dad was there to photograph their wedding.  Dad also photographed their engagement session this past summer.  Erika and Shane had the talented Irene of For Better For Less put together the flowers.  Cari from KyleLynn Weddings is always great to work with and she was there for Erika’s hair and makeup.  Expert Productions was there as the videographer and DJ.  Le Cheesecake put together an awesome poker themed groom’s cake and a wedding cake with star fish and seashells.  Guests loved having a cigar roller from Serafin de Cuba at the reception.

The newlyweds honeymooned in Hawaii!  We hope they had a fantastic time.  Thanks to Erika and Shane for having us there as a part of your big day!
