Wedding at Sunken Gardens: Sylvia and John

Jason Angelini — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 03:14:54 +0000

When Sylvia and John stopped by a record store during their awesome engagement session it was just a little taste of what their wedding day would be. They were married at Sunken Gardens and their day had a really fun music theme! Desiree from Magical Plan-It Events was the planner and helped put all the details together. Jason loves working with David and Kristina of Trinity Wedding Video who were there as the videographers. They shared a Sneak Peek Film that helped to capture the wonderful day. Sylvia had her makeup done by Beautiful You Makeup. Carter’s Florist did the flowers for the day and the bridesmaids’ bouquets were pretty with black feathers under the flowers. At the reception the caterer was Amici’s Catering, Chantilly Cakes made the wedding cake which had music notes as part of the decoration, and the DJ was Richard Blade who came from California.

Sylvia and John are such sweet people and their wedding was a blast! The ceremony was just after sunset and the reception was a terrific celebration. Jason came home from the wedding with so many great songs stuck in his head! He said there was awesome music all night which you of course have to have when your wedding has a music theme. The tables were framed album covers from a wide variety of bands. Favors had a mini record attached that said “Take Me Home Tonight” (I love 80s music!) Guests signed in on CD info pages that were put into a CD case. On the tables were papers for guests to write music requests for the DJ. Kids had fun with legos and coloring books and lots of dancing. Jason was happy to see Jamie and Tristan who were guests at the wedding. It was such a fun night for the bride, groom, and all of their guests!

Sylvia and John’s love for each other and their kind hearts are obvious to everyone who sees them. We are so happy for them! Congratulations newlyweds!

After their ceremony and pictures in the church, the bride and groom and their wedding party went to downtown Tampa for some pictures before joining their reception.

It is wonderful to be a part of the special moments in people’s lives, and when you have a couple that you know you will continue to see as years go on it makes their wedding day even more meaningful. Dad has photographed weddings and sessions for Sarah and Carey’s friends and family and it was so great to see them as they shared in Sarah and Carey’s big day! Dad has also photographed Sarah and Carey’s super cute dog Bella when she joined them for their engagement session and the couple used those images in their guest book.

The ceremony was at Sacred Heart Catholic Church and the reception followed at the Rusty Pelican. Pinks and creams and golds were the wedding colors and Fishhawk Florist put together pretty bouquets and floral arrangements with those colors. The reception music was by Synchronicity Band and Chantilly Cakes made a pink and white cake with gorgeous detailing.

Dad had a blast with Melody and Brendan and Sarah and Rob at the wedding too. They are all a really fun group and dad looks forward to sharing in more happy memories with all of them! Thank you for having us as part of your lives. Congratulations to Sarah and Carey and we can’t wait to see the wonderful things the future has in store for your married life together!

Mom loves Sarah’s bustle.

The comments that this group made about this picture when we put it in a Facebook album were even more funny than the picture itself! None of them even remember dad taking it !

Wedding at the Hilton Clearwater Beach Resort: Amy and Paul

Amy and Paul’s beach wedding at the Hilton Clearwater Beach Resort was lots of fun! From the bride’s Steve Madden jelly shoes to the groom’s surf board to the impromptu game of musical chairs at the reception to the skateboarders during the bride and groom pictures, it was a blast! Irene of For Better For Less was the florist, Doug Decker from Grant Hemond kept the crowd going as the DJ, and Chantilly Cakes made the wedding cake. It was an awesome day for an awesome couple! Dad says he wants Paul to send a picture of his office once he hangs the Pennywise surf board in it. He saw it and bought it on his wedding day! Mom thinks they should have gone out in the water and surfed with it. They could have dried off with their cute personalized wedding towels! Congratulations Amy and Paul!

Rusty Pelican Wedding: Katie and Colin

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!

Wedding at the Sandpearl: Dara and Joseph

Dara and Joseph were married on the beach a the Sandpearl Resort. They had their engagement session with dad a little over a month ago and dad was happy to see them again. They incorporated many Jewish traditions into their ceremony including signing the ketubah before the ceremony, having the groomsmen carry the chuppah to the ceremony site, the wine ceremony, and the breaking of the glass. Dara and Joseph’s signature drink was served during cocktail hour and it looked so yummy! The colors of the drink almost matched the beautiful colors of the sunset that night. The reception room was decorated with white linens and chair covers from BBJ Linen. The long main table had rows of tall candles and votives in glass holders and the outer tables gave just a splash of color to the room with the floral centerpieces from KaBloom in Tampa. The candles throughout the room created a warm romantic glow. The DJ was Landon Wainwright and the cake was made by Chantilly Cakes. At the end of the reception, dad took Dara and Joseph outside for a few more bride and groom pictures at night. People passing by stopped to congratulate them and shake Joseph’s hand.

We hope you are having a fabulous time in Hawaii! Congratulations Dara and Joseph!

One of the groomsmen took a video of the ceremony, including what he saw as he was walking down the aisle! Mom thought that was funny.

Wedding at the Rusty Pelican: Nicole and Eli

Jason Angelini — Thu, 06 May 2010 06:12:30 +0000

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!

We were so excited for Cheryl and Eric’s wedding! They are friends with several other couples whose weddings dad has photographed so we knew not only would they be awesome, but their wedding would be lots of fun too! They were married at the Rusty Pelican and dad enjoyed seeing Janida again. Carmen’s Flowers was the florist, Digital Wave was the videographer, Absolute Entertainment was the DJ, and Chantilly Cakes made the couple’s wedding cake.

Cheryl and Eric are wonderful together and their family and friends were excited to be there to see them become husband and wife. They are so in love!

Breanna and Chris were married in St. Petersburg at the Mirror Lake Lyceum. Deborah from A Florida Wedding Ceremony was the officiant and Hearts Video was there as the videographer. The talented Irene of For Better For Less was the couple’s florist and put together beautiful white and green arrangements to match the wedding colors of black and white with green accents. The cake by Chantilly Cakes went perfectly with the theme too and even matched the swirls on the linens. Congratulations Breanna and Chris! We hope your honeymoon in Mexico is awesome!
