Wedding at the Grand Plaza: Emily and Bob

Sunday, December 4, 2011 3:27 am

Jason had a great time with Emily and Bob at their engagement session and he knew their wedding was going to be a terrific day. They were married at the Grand Plaza Beachfront Resort. Jason always loves photographing weddings there. Jason also enjoyed working with Chad Whelan who was the videographer. The wedding colors were yellow and blue with a pop of bright colors. Emily had a beautiful bright yellow bouquet and the bridemaids’ bouquets were orange, pink, and purple with some yellow mixed in. Flowers-by-Design was the florist for the wedding. The officiant at the ceremony was Reverend Tom Greene and it was great to see Emily and Bob laughing and truly happy as they became husband and wife. At the reception the wedding cake was the top of a tower of cupcakes made by Sweet! by Good Golly Miss Holly. Expert Productions was the DJ for the reception.

Emily, Bob, and their friends and family were so much fun and made the day a true celebration! Congratulations to the happy couple!

Jason photographed Kim and Keith’s engagement session the month before their wedding and he was happy to see them again on the big day. The wedding was held at the A La Carte Event Pavilion and Ashley there also did the flowers. Kim and Keith had Chad Whelan as their videographer and Jason always has a fun time working with him. The Michele Renee Hair and Makeup Artist Group was there for Kim’s hair and Lindsey McCall did Kim’s makeup. At the reception Curtis of Inpulse Entertainment was the DJ and the cake was from Publix.

All the detailing on Kim’s gown was stunning and Kim wore it beautifully. It was wonderful for Jason to be able to capture the emotion both Kim and Keith felt that day. There was a perfect balance of tears and laughter. Jason was also happy to see Courtney and Adam at the wedding too! Congratulations to newlyweds Kim and Keith and all the best to them both as they start the journey of a long and happy marriage!

Wedding at the Westin Tampa Harbour Island: Lindsay and David

Friday, December 31, 2010 3:57 am

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!

Lange Farm Wedding: Caroline and David

We are so excited to share some images from Caroline and Dave’s beautiful wedding. Dad photographed the couple’s engagement session in November and we have all been looking forward to their day for a while! Caroline and Dave were married at the Lange Farm, a picturesque venue with terrific people. The bride and groom put together an awesome team of vendors including Chad Whelan as the videographer, Pam Verschuere for flowers, Amy of Not from a Box for stationary, Alafia String Quartet for ceremony music, Mise En Place for catering, Doug Decker of Grant Hemond as the DJ, Shutterbooth for a photo booth, Kathryn Flocken of Paper Portraits for hand cut silhouette pictures used as the guest book as as favors for the guests, and Wright’s Bakery for an assortment of cakes that were both pretty and very yummy! There were so many details that were meaningful to the couple and their families and that is what really makes a wedding special. It all came together so well!

At the wedding, Caroline, Dave, and their families made dad feel like one of the family. He had such a great time with all of them. The wedding day was filled with the past, present, and future of a young couple joining their lives and their families together. Dad said it was an honor to be there to share in the love and celebration of the day. The bride’s mom, Vicki, is simply an amazing person and mom wanted to send a special thank you to her for being so fun, good-hearted, and kind. We have loved being a part of the excitement of this special time for Caroline, Dave, and their families and we cannot wait to see what wonderful blessings the future holds for them! Congratulations Caroline and Dave!

Rusty Pelican Wedding: Katie and Colin

Saturday, May 22, 2010 12:30 am

When dad photographed Katie and Colin’s engagement session last fall he thought their dog was so cute. Dad was excited to see that some pictures of Bentley at the session were made into cufflinks for the wedding day!

Katie and Colin put together a fantastic team of vendors for their wedding day. Darla Stafford is so talented and super nice. She was there for hair and makeup. Chad Whelan is a wonderful videographer and dad has lots of fun working with him. Reverend Tom Greene officiated over the ceremony and Rob Sword of Sword Sounds rocked out as the DJ for the reception. Debbie of The Bride’s Bouquet did the flowers and Chantilly Cakes made the yummy wedding cake. Dad enjoyed working with everyone.

Mom loved the bright pink flowers and especially the mini crystal chandeliers used in the centerpieces. The reception room looked beautiful! Thanks so much to Katie and Colin for having dad as part of your wedding day. Congratulations you two!
