Wedding at the Don Vicente de Ybor: Emina and Anthony

Emina and Anthony had a beautiful vintage style wedding at the Don Vicente de Ybor.  Anthony looked stylish in his classic tuxedo and bowtie.  Emina was an absolutely beautiful bride!  Mom loved her bird cage veil fastened with a flower and feather.  For dancing at the reception, Emina changed from her wedding gown into a one-shoulder shimmery white dress.

Emina and Anthony had a First Sight before the ceremony.  It was really sweet to see them smile and embrace and take in the moment.  They did their family and wedding party pictures before the ceremony and afterward they were able to enjoy time alone together for their bride and groom pictures.  To go with the vintage look of the wedding the couple had a classic car to use in their images.  Dad got a few more bride and groom pictures on the streets of Ybor after dark when Emina was in her party dress.

The couple’s team of vendors included Georgia Watson of Weddings by Georgia as the coordinator, hair and makeup from the Michele Renee Hair and Makeup Artist Group, Trinity Wedding Video as the videographer, flowers from Whole Foods, Robert from A Perfect Witness as the officiant, linens from Connie Duglin,  DJ Eladio from Delite Entertainment, and the wedding cake from Publix Greenwise.

Congratulations to Emina and Anthony!  We hope you are having an amazing time honeymooning in Europe!

Sabrina and Rustie’s Wedding at the Don Vicente

In January dad photographed Sabrina and Rustie’s engagement session in Tampa.  They had a beautiful wedding on Saturday at the Don Vicente de Ybor.  The couple had Staci of Unique Event Design as their coordinator and she did a great job pulling everything together.  Hair and makeup was done by Wilson of Shear Artist, the florist was Forever Flowers, and at the reception linens were from Connie Duglin and the cake was made by Chef Michael of Let Them Eat Cake.

Sabrina’s shoes were gorgeous and dad thought it was a fun coincidence that the bride from the wedding the day before had the same shoes but in a different color.  It was also dad’s second day in a row working with Ben from Grant Hemond and he did a great job again.

Sabrina and Rustie are an awesome couple and dad had a terrific time at their wedding.  Their friends and family were a blast to hang out with, and the newlyweds were lots of fun as well!  Dad was so happy to be a part of their day.  Thanks Sabrina and Rustie!  Enjoy Mexico!

Monica and Michael’s Naples Wedding

On Saturday dad was in Naples for the wedding of Monica and Michael.  They had booked with us a year ago and dad had talked to the bride’s mom, the bride, and the groom during the planning for  the big day.  Everyone had been great so dad knew the day was going to be wonderful.

Kelly with No Worries Weddings and Event Management was the couple’s wedding planner and was terrific with keeping things organized and stress-free for the couple.  The ceremony took place at the Naples United Church of Christ which had gorgeous chandeliers as well as a pipe organ.  The reception was at Vineyards Country Club and dad said it was beautiful as well.  It was dad’s second weekend in a row working with Ian of Movie Magic Productions and dad enjoyed seeing him again.  The florist was Botanicals on the Gulf and the reception had linens from Connie DuglinKakes by Karen made the cake which had pretty bows and flowers to decorate it.  The reception music was from Fifth Avenue Music.  Dad said they were a fantastic band and the guests all enjoyed the live music as well.

Monica and Michael are such an awesome couple.  Dad couldn’t stop talking about how incredibly nice they both were!  We are so happy for them and wish them happiness and love throughout their marriage.  Thanks to you both and have fun in Mexico!  Be sure to stay in touch!

Valencia and Rhoan at the Palmetto Club

Valencia and Rhoan met in the 10th grade and finally celebrated their wedding day on Friday.  In their ceremony programs they used the quote, “True love comes quietly, without banners or flashing lights.”  Mom thought that was a great love quote.

Their wedding was held at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Brandon with their reception following at the Palmetto Club at Fishhawk Ranch.  Dad had fun working with Chad Whelan again.  He was the videographer for the event.  The reception featured food by the Jerk Hut (including curried goat!) with tables decorated in gorgeous linens rented from Connie Duglin.  The wedding incorporated Jamaican wedding traditions and had butterflies as decoration throughout the reception details.

Congratulations Valencia and Rhoan!  Dad says he knows you will have a long and happy marriage and he was grateful to be there at the start of it.
