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!

Don CeSar Wedding: Daron and Jim

March 8, 2010 – 10:11 pm

Daron and Jim had a beautiful wedding at the Don CeSar on St. Pete beach.  They are a really sweet couple and deserved their special day.  Dad was happy to work with Jennifer of A Friend of the Bride again.  She was the couple’s wedding planner and she always does a wonderful job.  Linny Correa with Colours by Linny was there for beauty services.  Amy of Not From a Box made the beautiful stationary including the invitations, programs, menus, and table cards.  Daron and Jim’s flowers were done by Apple Blossoms Floral Design and Gifts and mom loved the crystals hanging off of the ceremony arrangements.  Rob Sword from Sword Sounds is an awesome DJ and had the guests partying.  Well, Rob AND the martini luge!  The linens at the reception were from Linens by the Sea and the talented bakers at Chocolate Pi made the couple’s cake.

Congratulations Daron and Jim!  Thanks for having dad there to share in your wedding celebration!

Daron was a stunning bride!

Lange Farm Wedding: Kristi and Bryan

February 27, 2010 – 3:08 am

The Lange Farm in Dade City is a beautiful wedding venue.  Dad loves photographing there, and working with Michelle and the rest of the girls at the Lange Farm.  They are always really nice and lots of fun to talk to.  Kristi and Bryan were married at the Lange Farm the day before Valentine’s Day.  There was a terrific team of vendors including Trinity Wedding Video for videography, Rob Sword of Sword Sounds as the DJ, and Chocolate Pi for the cake.  The couple also had Marble Slab Creamery (407-346-SLAB) at the reception making ice cream for the guests.  Dad said the bowls of ice cream they made were huge and very yummy!  Mom thought Kristi’s dress was gorgeous.  It had one shoulder strap with flowers and then matching flowers on the opposite side of the gown  below the hips where it changed from fitted to full.  Kristi looked amazing wearing it, and she made it fun too with bright pink shoes underneath!

The wedding theme was black and white with splashes of hot pink, making it elegant yet fun!  The ceremony site had chandeliers and flower arrangements hanging from the trees.  Branches of the centerpieces had crystals hanging from them.  Besides being treated to the ice cream, guests were also given mini bottles of sangria mix as favors.

Congratulations to Kristi and Bryan on your beautiful wedding!  Everything came together wonderfully.  We hope Cabo was awesome!!

Sara and Brian at the Embassy Suites Tampa

November 7, 2009 – 11:46 pm

Within an eleven day period, dad has eight weddings and four sessions!  It is going to be a crazy fun two weeks, and Sara and Brian started things off with their wedding on Thursday at the Embassy Suites Tampa.  Dad said they are an awesome couple!  They were up for anything dad suggested and they had fun with it.  Dad was so happy that they had a first sight so he had time for their bride and groom pictures.

The couple had their friend Lisa as their wedding coordinator and dad said she was great at keeping things organized and on time.  Lou of The Arrangement Florist did the flowers and Chocolate Pi made the couple’s cake.  It is always great to work with Darla Stafford and Rob Sword!  Darla was there for Sara’s hair and makeup (dad is working with her for three weddings in a row this weekend!) and Rob was the DJ at the reception.

Sara and Brian were such a fun couple and dad really enjoyed being there as they started their married life together.  Congratulations newlyweds!!  Have a great time in Maui!  Dad photographed Lisa and Joe’s wedding and they left for their honeymoon in Maui on Friday, so dad says you two should have gotten together to fly him out as well :) .

Jessica and Aaron at the Don Vicente de Ybor

September 22, 2009 – 4:21 pm

Jessica and Aaron were married on Saturday at the Don Vicente de Ybor, a beautiful historic inn.  Dad got to work with Jessica and Lori of Simply Divine Events.  They were the wedding coordinators and dad said they were great to work with.  Before the ceremony, Jessica and Aaron had a first sight. It is great when couples have that moment by themselves and can really take in the moment.  It makes it so special.  It also let Jessica and Aaron have more time for bride and groom images!  At the ceremony, the couple included their children by giving them each a family medallion necklace.  One of dad’s favorite moments of the day was when the groom’s young son gave his toast.  He said that when he first met Jessica, he told his dad, “Boy, you sure are lucky.”  What a sweet toast!  John from DJ Perfections was the DJ at the reception and the guests had fun dancing with the tambourines John handed out.  Chocolate π made the cake and it was decorated with beautiful swirl details.

The newlyweds are headed to Hawaii for their honeymoon.  Have a great time!

Amanda and Caton at the Don CeSar

May 16, 2009 – 12:04 am

Last Saturday Amanda and Caton were married at the Don CeSar.  The couple had Beth of Flawless Occasions as the wedding coordinator and dad was happy to work with her again.  Dad was also excited to see Cara from Hearts Video who was there for the ceremony and some of the portraits.

The ceremony was in the courtyard and Amanda and Caton had John Melchinger from A Perfect Witness as their officiant.  Mom absolutely loved the orange color that the couple used throughout the wedding.  The bridesmaids’ orange dresses were really cute and the flower girls wore white with orange sashes.  The other details such as the chair bows, menus, and favor boxes brought together the orange theme very well.  RJ Vida of Advance Entertainment Productions was the DJ for the reception and kept Amanda on the dance floor most of the night.

Dad said Amanda was lots of fun!  Both Amanda and Caton are great people and have wonderful families.  Dad enjoyed being there to capture these memories for them.  Now if only the newlyweds would have decided to fly dad to Italy to document their honeymoon trip too!! :)
