Stephanie and Louis are just awesome people. Jason photographed their engagement session and their wedding but soon after they moved on to new adventures out of state. When they came down for a visit recently they wanted some updated pictures of the two of them and some pictures with Stephanie’s family too. Jason was excited to see them again! He met them at Fort Desoto and they had a fun morning together. Thanks so much to Stephanie’s family, Stephanie, and Louis for the session! We can’t wait for your next visit to Florida!

Mini Beach Session with Carly and Will’s 18 Month Old

Jason Angelini — Fri, 12 Aug 2011 17:26:51 +0000

Jason met up with one of our favorite families for a mini session at the beach. Carly and Will are amazing people! We have loved being a part of their lives since Jason photographed their wedding. We’ve seen their little girl grow from the time she was just born through her first year. Carly and Will wanted a few updated pictures of her before her 2 year session this winter. She wasn’t loving the beach so much that day but she was still adorable!

The picture of Carly “cleaning” her daughter made me smile. THAT is motherhood! And though the picture of Will with his little girl might not be your traditional father/daughter portrait Jason and I both loved it. It reminds us of a picture we would have of our own family! Carly is standing off to the side and though Will is doing his best to have fun with his daughter she is a bit grumpy so all she wants is her mommy .

Thanks to Carly and Will for the session and we can’t wait until next time we get to see all of you!

Congratulations to Elena and we can’t wait to meet your new addition for her session in a few months!

Jason photographed Christa and Michael’s wedding five years ago and he was really happy to see them again and meet their little girl for a family session at the beach! It was an awesome session. Christa and Michael just wanted to hang out and enjoy some family time with Jason in the capturing the fun. It was a laid back session with lots of laughter and love. Christa and Michael’s little girl is absolutely gorgeous! Whether she was smiling at the camera or looking serious she photographed beautifully. It was obvious from spending time with them that Christa and Michael are awesome parents. Thanks so much for Christa and Michael for having Jason with you again to capture more memories! You are wonderful people and we are happy that we are able to be part of your lives. Hope to see you again next time you are in FL for a visit!

Session at Fort Desoto: Nichole is Back in the Dress

Jason Angelini — Tue, 19 Apr 2011 04:49:04 +0000

Nichole and Rizal have to hurry and start trying for babies because dad is going to miss them if they don’t have a reason to have another session soon! Dad has photographed their engagement session, Nichole’s gorgeous bridal portraits, and their beach wedding. He met them at Fort Desoto last week for their Back in the Dress session. These are sometimes called Trash the Dress sessions but out of them that dad has photographed the only session that actual trashed their dress so that it couldn’t be later cleaned and preserved was from a paintball session!

The newlyweds brought their two dogs with them for some pictures. We are animal lovers and it was fun for dad to get some pictures of their dogs playing at the beach too. The session ended with the couple splashing around in the water having fun and enjoying their time together. Those pictures are some of mom’s favorites because their smiles really show what newlywed bliss looks like. We hope they have those same genuine happy smiles for each other throughout their marriage!

We loved sharing in Nichole and Rizal’s memories. They are a terrific couple and dad enjoyed all the time he spent with them. Nichole and Rizal, we will be waiting patiently to photograph the maternity session!

Tampa Bay Watch Wedding: Lauren and Nick

Lauren and Nick included so many awesome details for their wedding day! They made sure that their day was a lot of fun not just for them but for their guests as well. They were married at St. Paul’s Catholic Church and had their reception at Tampa Bay Watch. Lauren had Cari from Kyle Lynn with her for hair and makeup and she looked beautiful. The wonderful Ian from Movie Magic Productions was there as the videographer. After the ceremony the bride and groom and their wedding party went to Fort Desoto for pictures before joining their guests at the reception. The guests were kept entertained with corn hole, bocce ball, horseshoes, and filling out the advice cards for the couple which worked like a game of Madlibs. The wedding colors were yellow and blue which mom loves! The Gators were well represented as well with Gator cuff links, a Gator ring pillow, and of course the Gator chomp. Tables had vintage postcards from different Florida cities and there was a wooden directional sign showing the mileage from the wedding to other sites in Florida as well. One of mom’s favorite details was the Smores bar at the reception. There was chocolate, marshmallows, graham crackers, and a quote from the movie The Sandlot explaining how to make a Smore. There was also ice cream and ice cream cones and when dad saw someone make a Coke float he wanted to find some root beer to join him!

Lauren and Nick, you did a terrific job putting together the details to make a gorgeous and fun wedding. Congratulations to you both!

We are so excited for this growing family! Dad photographed Kalyn and Daniel’s wedding in 2008 and they came back for her super fun maternity session at the beach which dad is helping us blog about. Kalyn has such an amazing glow and Daniel is thrilled to become a daddy! They had so much fun at the session, from shooting in a hole to seeing Daniel jump for joy . Congratulations and we can’t wait to meet your beautiful baby.

We normally don’t put baby names on the blog but mom loved this picture lots and Kalyn said it was okay so we wanted to share!
