Wedding at the Crosley: Kelly and Chris

Monday, June 11, 2012 10:28 pm

Jason had a wonderful time with Kelly and Chris as they celebrated their wedding day at the Powel Crosley Estate in Sarasota. Their families and friends made the day so special. Bobbi of Weddings by Bobbi was the couple’s wedding coordinator and helped to put the beautiful details of the day together. Jason met Kelly at the Yellow Strawberry Hair and Makeup Salon where the girls had their hair and makeup done before heading to the Crosley. The flowers were done by Yelena of Elegant Floral Designs. The large ceremony arrangements were my favorites! The main wedding color was pink and the pink flowers really popped against the white flowers and greenery. Before the ceremony Kelly and Chris had a first sight which is always a sweet moment and also helps because the couple has more time in their day for pictures. The ceremony was by the water and Grace of A Wedding with Grace was the officiant. She always does a great job and Jason loves working with her. At the reception Sarasota Catering Company was the caterer, Dan of Sword Sounds was the DJ, and the wedding cake was made by Cakes by Ron.

Kelly was a gorgeous bride and her and Chris were a happy couple. Their wedding was both romantic and fun and Jason was happy to be a part of it. Congratulations to the newlyweds!

Sarah and Erez had a gorgeous wedding at the Powel Crosley Estate. Their day was filled with the beauty and history of Jewish traditions. The couple had a first sight and then did some bride and groom pictures before the ceremony. Sunset that evening was so pretty and they were able to get a few more bride and groom pictures by the water then as well. The night ended with lots of dancing and fun.

Yelena of Elegant Designs put together the floral arrangements, Milan Catering was the caterer, and the wedding cake was made by A Slice of Heaven. Jason was happy to share in Sarah and Erez’s wedding day and see them begin their lives together. Their families were wonderful and surrounded the couple with love and well wishes.

Jessica and Randy’s Wedding at Our Lady Queen of Martyrs and Lakewood Ranch Golf and Country Club

Friday, November 18, 2011 7:18 pm

Jason had a great time with Jessica and Randy during their engagement session. They showed their fun personalities and their love for each other at the same time. Seeing them together, Jason knew their wedding was going to be an amazing day!

The couple was married at Our Lady Queen of Martyrs Catholic Church with a reception following at the Lakewood Ranch Golf and Country Club. Jessica had her hair and makeup done by stylists from The Michele Renee Hair and Makeup Artist Group. The wedding colors were green and purple and the bouquets in those colors by Yelena of Elegant Designs Floral Art Studio were beautiful. At the reception the DJ was Mark of Jersey Sound and Entertainment and favors were made by The Lollicake Queen.

Jason loved that Jessica and Randy were introduced at their reception to the Metallica song, “For Whom the Bell Tolls.” I love unique touches like that. As the reception was ending Jason took the couple outside for some pictures by the fire and these are some of my favorite bride and groom pictures from their wedding day!

When a couple can be themselves, let go, and really enjoy their wedding day for the celebration that it is, everyone around them can’t help but feel their love and joy too. Jessica and Randy, thank you for having Jason there to share in the fun!
