Wedding at the Sheraton Sand Key: Ashleigh and Matthew

Ashleigh and Matthew had a fun engagement session with dad back in May.  Their wedding day was even more fun!  The bride and groom are terrific people and their wedding party was a blast to hang out with.  Ashleigh had Julissa of Beauty Brought Out for her getting ready and David and Kristina from Trinity Wedding Video were the videographers.  Dad was happy to see them and work with them again!  The wedding colors were red and white and Debbie of The Bride’s Bouquet made beautiful floral arrangements in those colors.  Mom’s favorites were the big alter flowers at the ceremony!  Ashleigh and Matthew were married at the First United Methodist Church of Clearwater and then had their reception after at the beautiful Sheraton Sand Key.  Doug of Grant Hemond was the DJ for the reception and dad says he is always great.  The beautiful 4-tiered cake was made by a family friend and guests were treated to Haagen-Dazs ice cream too!  The newlyweds left the wedding in their bride and groom Mickey and Minnie ears and headed for Disney where they were spent their wedding night.  Congratulations Ashleigh and Matthew, and thanks for having dad there to share in your wedding day!

Lakeland Wedding: Hannah and Matt

Dad was in Lakeland for Hannah and Matt’s wedding at the First United Methodist Church and the reception following at the Sorosis Club.  Dad had photographed Hannah and Matt’s engagement session last summer in Lakeland as well.  StyleHouse Weddings and Events were the couple’s wedding planners.  Dad enjoyed meeting them.  Other vendors included Petals of Lakeland for the flowers, Panache for the beautiful rentals, Kaleidoscope for lighting, Quest Drape for reception drapes, and DJ Carl for the reception music.

Congratulations Hannah and Matt!  We wish you a lifetime of happiness!

Mom loved the table settings the couple chose.  They looked gorgeous!

Jennifer and Trae

Dad came home from Saturday’s wedding in a great mood. Not only were the bride and groom awesome, but all of their wedding party, friends, and family were terrific as well. Nothing felt rushed, the weather was nice, everyone was very friendly and positive, and it was just a perfect day for Jennifer and Trae.

The ceremony was held at First United Methodist Church where dad had just photographed the week before. Riverhills Country Club was the site for the reception with Jude from Grant Hemond as the DJ.

Dad thought it was awesome that Trae decided to grab a golf cart so they could drive around and go to more places for pictures. It is so great when a bride and groom makes time for their own pictures on their wedding day!

Jennifer and her bridesmaids:

Thank you to the bride, groom, and everyone at the wedding for being so friendly and welcoming. Jennifer and Trae are headed to New York for their honeymoon. Have a wonderful time!
