Wedding in Bonita Springs

Dad photographed a beautiful wedding in Bonita Springs last week.  The ceremony was held on Big Hickory Island and the reception was at the Colony Golf and Country Club.  This was dad’s third week working with Dream Day Productions and he has had lots of fun with them.  Meghan from Dream Day was also the florist for this wedding and did a great job.  Felix the DJ was there for the reception.  Dad says Felix always does an amazing job of mixing and blending music like a “real” dj would do.  Felix also did the GOBO light for the couple on the dance floor.  The reception also had a cigar roller from Rocky Patel.  He was rolling “The Edge” cigars and guests loved it.

The bride and groom asked us not to share images of them due to their job, but we are happy to share some of the beautiful details from their wedding day.  Congratulations newlyweds!  Enjoy your honeymoon!

Kendra and Brandon at the Don Vicente

Kendra and Brandon were married last Saturday in Tampa.  Their ceremony was held at the Ybor City Museum with the reception at the Don Vicente de Ybor Historic Inn.  With Kendra’s mantilla veil and lace covered dress, Brandon’s classic tux, the candlelight, and the historic locations as a backdrop, the entire wedding had a very romantic almost old-world feel.

Dad got to work with Dream Day Productions for the second week in a row.  They did a great job helping the day run smoothly and dad is excited to see them again this weekend!  Chuck from Hearts Video was the videographer.  Dad was glad to work with him again.  Julissa Mercado from Beauty Brought Out was the stylist (Kendra looked gorgeous!) and Frank Lebano was the DJ at the reception.

At the engagement session, dad was able to meet the couple’s adorable daughter.  He was surprised at how much older she looked since then!  Mom loved that Kendra and Brandon included her in the ceremony and other parts of the day.  She was so excited about the whole wedding.

Kendra and Brandon are a down to earth couple and grounded in love.  We know they have a wonderful future ahead of them.  Congratulations!

Brandon had a tutorial on tying a bow tie…

…but it didn’t seem to help:)

WOW!  Kendra is stunning!

Lauren and Jason at the Vinoy

On Sunday dad joined Lauren and Jason for their wedding at the Renaissance Vinoy Resort.  The couple had assembled an awesome team of vendors including Dream Day Productions as the coordinator, Darla Stafford for hair and makeup, Marci Vitkus for the officiant, Delma’s, The Flower Booth for the florist, A Linen Valley for, well, linens:)and Rob Sword of Sword Sounds for the DJ.

Jewish weddings are very meaningful because they include traditions that go back for centuries.  People often say that it breaks tradition for the groom to see the bride before the ceremony, but in a Jewish wedding that IS the tradition!  The couple meets to sign the marriage contract, the ketubah, before meeting under the chuppah to exchange vows.

Dad said the couple’s family and friends were friendly and welcoming.  Lauren’s mom made his day when she told him that she thought it was a blessing to have him there.  It was a beautiful wedding and we are so happy for the newlyweds.  Congratulations!
