Wedding at the Mirror Lake Lyceum: Stephanie and Ryan

Friday, December 10, 2010 5:29 pm

Congratulations to newlyweds Stephanie and Ryan! They were married at the Mirror Lake Lyceum in St. Petersburg. Stephanie had the amazing Darla Stafford for makeup, Jason Sowell was the officiant, the florist was Redman Steele, Amici’s was the caterer, and the cake was from Cakes by Carolynn. The wedding colors were red and white and was used for the wedding party attire as well as the flowers and decor. Mom thought the flower girl dress was especially pretty with red at the top ending at the waist where a thick red ribbon separated the top from the long white satin bottom. There was a small white flower on the red ribbon which was especially cute because Stephanie’s gorgeous gown had small white flowers on the draped pickups.

Stephanie and Ryan are enjoying a Disney cruise for their honeymoon. We know that will be a fun trip! Thanks to Stephanie and Ryan for having dad there to capture your day!

Wedding at Sacred Heart Church and The Tampa Club: Lauren and Micah

Monday, October 25, 2010 11:35 pm

Lauren and Micah were married at Sacred Heart Church and celebrated their reception at the The Tampa Club. Dad always looks forward to seeing Darla and Julie of Darla Stafford Hair and Makeup and they were there to help the girls get ready. The wonderful Ian of Movie Magic Productions was also there as the videographer. The wedding colors were purple and green and Events in Bloom used the colors in the beautiful bouquets and centerpieces. The cake by Let Them Eat Cake not only had flowers on top but it was decorated by purple butterflies and green leaves. Next to the cake was a framed sign showing the guests the flavors of each cake layer. The sign, the pretty monograms on the vases, and other stationary items were done by the bride’s sister, Krista Graphic Design.

Lauren, Micah, and their wedding party went to the downtown streets for pictures and dad had fun walking around taking pictures with them. We are all so jealous of Lauren and Micah spending their honeymoon in Breckenridge! We took a family vacation there a few years ago and absolutely loved it. Fall is sure to be gorgeous there! Congratulations Lauren and Micah!

Wedding at St. Leo Abbey and The Lange Farm: Paige and Eric

Friday, August 27, 2010 11:14 am

Dad had a wonderful time at Paige and Eric’s wedding. The ceremony was at Saint Leo Abbey. The couple decided on a first sight before the ceremony which gave them lots of time for bride and groom pictures and bridal party pictures. Dad always loves having extra time for pictures with the couple, and brides and grooms always love having more pictures with more variety after the wedding day! The reception was held at The Lange Farm which is one of dad’s most favorite venues. Michelle just rocks and there are lots of beautiful places for pictures there.

Paige had the talented and sweet Darla Stafford with her that morning for hair and makeup. Paige was a gorgeous bride and mom loved the lace and ribbon on her gown. The flowers were by Fishhawk Florist and matched the wedding colors of white and dark blue. At the reception, dinner was from Catered by Vesh, the guests danced to music from a Grant Hemond DJ, and the pretty butterfly cake was made by Cakes by Design. There were other butterfly details at the reception as well, such as the blue butterflies on the table markers. Butterflies are becoming more and more popular as a wedding theme!

Thanks to Paige and Eric for having dad share your beautiful day with you and your friends and family. We wish you lots of love and happiness!

Wedding at the Mirror Lake Lyceum: Jamie and Tristan

Jamie and Tristan are such good-hearted wonderful people and dad was honored to take part in their wedding day. They had donated 101 cans of food as part of our contest to help feed the hungry (WOW!) and won an engagement session with dad. Their wedding day was in June and they were married at the Mirror Lake Lyceum. Meghan of Dream Day Productions was their coordinator and she did a terrific job, along with the rest of a talented team of vendors including the awesome Darla Stafford, Cara of Hearts Video, Delma’s, The Flower Booth, A Better Cheesecake, Amici’s Catering, and the always fun RJ Vida of Advance Entertainment Productions.

The wedding’s theme was A Midsummer’s Night Dream and the flower girls wore pretty fairy costumes in purples and greens. Mom loved the bridesmaids’ attire! They all had different colored gowns in beautiful summer colors. The reception was decorated in pinks and purples and greens with lots of orchids and branches. Tables were named after couples from Shakespeare plays and guests got their seating assignments on a booklet of cookie recipes. Guests were also treated to lots and lots of homemade cookies. Thanks to Meghan for setting some aside and sending them home for us, and of course thanks to Jamie and Tristan for that as well!

It was a day filled with emotion and love to celebrate an amazing couple. We are incredibly happy for them and the wonderful future they have to look forward to. Tristan and Jamie, thank you so much for having us share in your wedding and we hope you two stay in touch!
