Wedding at the Embassy Suites Tampa: Lisa and Adam

Mom had so much fun talking with Lisa as she planned for her wedding and she was so excited when the big day arrived!  Dad joined Lisa and Adam for their wedding at the Embassy Suites Tampa.  Lisa had her hair and makeup done by Michele Renee of the Michele Renee Hair and Makeup Artist Group.  The wedding colors were black and pink and FishHawk Weddings put together beautiful pink bouquets and floral arrangements.  Mom’s favorite flowers were the branch filled vases at the ceremony with pink flowers on top and tall branches coming out of the flowers.  Bridesmaids wore black dresses with pink sashes and pink necklaces and they carried pink bouquets.  Lisa and Adam had their first sight before the ceremony and were able to do most of their pictures early in the day.  It was sweet to see how incredibly happy they were!  Lisa could not stop smiling and laughing.

At the reception the wonderful Rob Sword of Sword Sounds was the DJ and the cake was from Publix Greenwise in Tampa.  It was a fun celebration with a packed dance floor.  Guests also had fun dressing up in the props for the photo booth that Lisa and Adam had there.  Congratulations to the newlyweds on a beautiful and fun wedding and we hope all the laughter and joy of your day lasts throughout your marriage.  Thanks Lisa and Adam, and stay in touch!

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

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 Sacred Heart Catholic Church and Rusty Pelican: Sarah and Carey

It is wonderful to be a part of the special moments in people’s lives, and when you have a couple that you know you will continue to see as years go on it makes their wedding day even more meaningful.  Dad has photographed weddings and sessions for Sarah and Carey’s friends and family and it was so great to see them as they shared in Sarah and Carey’s big day!  Dad has also photographed Sarah and Carey’s super cute dog Bella when she joined them for their engagement session and the couple used those images in their guest book.

The ceremony was at Sacred Heart Catholic Church and the reception followed at the Rusty Pelican.  Pinks and creams and golds were the wedding colors and Fishhawk Florist put together pretty bouquets and floral arrangements with those colors.  The reception music was by Synchronicity Band and Chantilly Cakes made a pink and white cake with gorgeous detailing.

Dad had a blast with Melody and Brendan and Sarah and Rob at the wedding too.  They are all a really fun group and dad looks forward to sharing in more happy memories with all of them!  Thank you for having us as part of your lives.  Congratulations to Sarah and Carey and we can’t wait to see the wonderful things the future has in store for your married life together!

Mom loves Sarah’s bustle.


The comments that this group made about this picture when we put it in a Facebook album were even more funny than the picture itself!  None of them even remember dad taking it:)!

Wedding at LaPlaya Beach and Golf Resort: Leslie and Jamie

Dad was in Naples for Leslie and Jamie’s beautiful beach wedding.  The couple live in California and dad had photographed their beach engagement session when they came to Florida in December.  Leslie and Jamie had a wedding coordinator from California to help them plan their wedding day.  Kelly from A Savvy Event was the coordinator and dad enjoyed working with her.  The team of vendors for this wedding was awesome!!  The wedding was held at the beautiful LaPlaya Beach and Golf Resort.  Leslie and Jamie had Ian from Movie Magic Productions as their videographer.  Dad loves working with him, and with Rob Sword who was the officiant and DJ.  Stephanie from Fishhawk Florist did the flowers, Jamie Lyn Cintron was there for hair and makeup, and Ella’s Cakes made the wedding cupcakes.

The pinks and greens of this wedding along with the beach details like starfish and sand dollars all looked so pretty together.  It was a great Florida summer wedding and though the weather started out looking threatening it didn’t disrupt the day at all.  Congratulations newlyweds, and thanks for having dad share in your special day!  He had a great time with you!

Wedding at the Rusty Pelican: Corinne and Rick

Two weeks ago Corinne and Rick were married at the Rusty Pelican in Tampa.  Dad has enjoyed working with Janida there!  Julissa from Beauty Brought Out did Corinne’s hair and makeup.  The couple had the wonderful Rob Sword of Sword Sounds as their officiant and their DJ.  Stephanie of FishHawk Weddings was the florist and Chantilly Cakes made the wedding cake.  Corinne and Rick used bright pink to pop against black as their wedding colors.  It came together wonderfully!  Congratulations Corinne and Rick!
