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!

Marife and Randall had a gorgeous engagement session and they used many of their engagement pictures around their reception on their wedding day which made Jason happy to see.

It was a beautiful wedding for a terrific couple. We are so happy for them and wish them a long and happy marriage! Congratulations Marife and Randall and we hope you had a blast on your honeymoon to the Dominican Republic!

Wedding at the Powel Crosley Estate: Heather and Anthony

Tuesday, June 7, 2011 10:45 pm

Jason photographed Heather and Anthony’s engagement session in February and was happy to see them again on their wedding day at the beautiful Powel Crosley Estate in Sarasota. The wedding day was a bit rainy and gray but the mix of colors the couple used brightened up the day. Bridesmaids wore blue dresses and carried white bouquets but each of them had bouquet ribbons and shoes in either yellow, purple, blue, or pink. The groomsmen also each wore one of those colors for their ties. At the reception, centerpieces, favors, and the framed table names also used the fun bright colors.

The flowers were done by Yelena of Elegant Designs. Grace of A Wedding with Grace is always a wonderful officiant. The food at the reception was from Sarasota Catering Company and the wedding cake was done by Publix. The DJ for the wedding was Isaac of Ikeman Entertainment.

Heather and Anthony, we hope you enjoyed your European honeymoon! Congratulations to you both on your marriage!

Silvett and Horton’s Wedding at the Powel Crosley Estate

Thursday, October 15, 2009 3:16 am

Silvett and Horton live in New York but came down to Florida for their wedding in Sarasota. They came down a few months before and had their engagement session with dad. They are a really nice couple and dad was happy to see them again at their wedding on Sunday at the Powel Crosley Estate. It was the second day in a row that dad got to work with Darla Stafford. She was there for the girls’ hair and makeup and she did a fabulous job as always. Silvett and Horton also had Elegant Designs by Yelena Riches as the florist and the cake was made by Beautiful Cakes by Ron.

Silvett and Horton put together a gorgeous wedding! There were beautiful details all over. Mom liked the hanging pomander flower balls and the origami table assignments for the guests. There was a book with the couple’s engagement images telling the story of how they met and began their relationship, and they also had cool panorama strips of the pictures on all of the guests’ napkins. One really great idea was a sketch on canvas that the couple had out next to glasses holding paint and paintbrushes. There was a sign asking guests to help fill in a grid on the sketch so that the couple would end up with a painting they could use as art to hang in their apartment. What a special memory to create and display in your home! Guests were also asked to write down a wish, some wisdom, or a hello for the bride and groom and place them in one box for the honeymoon and another for the first anniversary.

During the reception, Silvett changed into a red Asian dress. The cake, table assignments, and other details also gave the wedding an Asian theme. Silvett’s red dress and heels looked amazing as the night ended and she left with Horton in a bright red convertible. Thanks Silvett and Horton for having dad there for your wedding! You did a terrific job putting everything together. Congratulations!
