Clearwater Beach Wedding: Sommer and Kyle

Sommer and Kyle had their rehearsal dinner at Crabby Bill’s Seafood.  They had dad there to capture all the fun of family and friends getting together with anticipation for the next day.  It was a fun night with dinner, a slide show, toasts, and guests enjoying games of Gators bean bag toss.

The wedding the next day was at the Clearwater Beach Recreation Center.  Shawna with Flawless Occasions was the couple’s coordinator and she is a blast to work with.  Dad also got to see the talented and kind Darla Stafford who was there for hair and makeup.  Dana Dineen put together the beautiful flowers and the officiant at the ceremony was Pastor Dean Ryder.  For the reception, lighting and drapery was done by Weddings Done Bright and the room looked pretty with the pink uplighting and gobo light of the couple’s names on the dance floor.  Sommer and Kyle had a terrific team of vendors which continued with Wayne DeLair of DeLair Entertainment as the DJ.  Delectables was the caterer and the Island Way Publix made the couple’s cake.

Sommer and Kyle are an awesome couple and dad loved spending their wedding weekend with them!  Thanks Sommer and Kyle for being so wonderful!  The newlyweds are heading off to Mexico for their honeymoon.  Have fun!

A La Carte Event Pavilion Wedding: Michelle and Zach

When Michelle talked about her wedding day, you could tell that she was just as excited (if not more!) about her future as Zach’s wife as she was about the day itself.  That is always a wonderful thing.  Dad had photographed Michelle and Zach’s engagement sessions last summer and was happy to join them again on their wedding day.  They were married at Saints Peter and Paul Maronite Catholic Church with their reception at the beautiful A La Carte Event Pavilion.  They always do such a great job with the decor and Michelle and Zach’s wedding was no exception.  The ceiling was draped in fabric with crystal chandeliers hanging, and purple lighting gave a splash of color to the black and white colors of the wedding.  Dana Dineen was the florist and created beautiful arrangements of white flowers for the bouquet, ceremony alter, and reception centerpieces.  Ian of Movie Magic Productions was the videographer and dad was happy to work with him again.  It was dad’s first time working with Tony of Grant Hemond and he did a great job playing music that kept Michelle, Zach, and their family and friends on the dance floor.

Michelle was a beautiful bride.  She wore a gorgeous Anne Barge gown from Malindy Elene Couture and mom loved the detailing on the bodice.  Cari from KyleLynn did Michelle’s hair with soft curls.  When Zach first saw her, he looked so proud to be marrying her.

It was easy to see how loved Michelle and Zach are.  Their friends and family had a wonderful time witnessing their vows and celebrating the start to their life together.  Congratulations newlyweds!  Many blessings to you both in your life as husband and wife!

Lauren and Glenn’s Wedding at the Mirror Lake Lyceum

On Saturday Lauren and Glenn were married at the Mirror Lake Lyceum.  They had a terrific team of vendors.  Stacy of Meant to be Wed was the coordinator, the talented Darla Stafford was there for hair and makeup, Pastor Dean Ryder was the officiant, Dana Dineen was the florist, and RJ Vida of Advance Entertainment Productions helped make the reception a lot of fun.

Lauren first got in touch with dad 2 1/2 years ago as she started her planning.  Dad was excited when her wedding day finally arrived!  He met her that morning as she was getting ready.  The couple has an absolutely adorable daughter and dad said she was awesome.

The pink uplighting at the reception looked great with the pink flower petals scattered on all the tables.  Candlelight and lit centerpieces gave the room a pretty atmosphere as well.  Towards the end of the reception, Lauren changed into a cute shorter dress to party!

Congratulations to Lauren and Glenn, and we wish you and your daughter lots of happiness in your lives together!  Thanks for having dad there to share your day!

Stephanie and Louis at Sunken Gardens

Over a year ago, dad first met Stephanie and Louis when they booked him for their wedding and shortly after had their engagement session in St. Petersburg.  They are simply an awesome couple.  Mom has had a chance to get to know Stephanie through her planning and was looking forward to her wedding day and to seeing her pictures.  Stephanie is a nanny for a great family that dad has photographed as well.

The wedding day finally arrived on Saturday.  Stephanie and Louis had Shawna from Flawless Occasions as their coordinator.  Dad has fun working with Shawna and she always does a wonderful job.  Stephanie got ready at Lola Jane’s Beauty Lounge where she had her hair done in a very classic bridal updo.  Stepahnie then went to her ceremony location, Trinity Lutheran Church, where Louis was waiting for the couple’s First Sight.  They had the biggest happy smiles when they saw each other!  Dad took some bride and groom pictures in the church and then the nearby streets before the ceremony began.

The reception was held at Sunken Gardens in St. Petersburg.  Rob Sword of Sword Sounds was the DJ and did a terrific job.  Guests signed a guitar instead of a guest book which will make a great keepsake.  It was a wonderful celebration of Stephanie and Louis’s love and the start of their lives together, which they are both so excited about.  This is the beginning of their lifetime of happiness and we wish them the best.  Stephanie and Louis, even though you will be in another state you better keep in touch!

Amanda and Caton at the Don CeSar

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!! :)
