Wedding at the Lange Farm: Caitlin and Tim

Caitlin and Tim were married at the First United Methodist Church of Zephyrhills and had their reception at the beautiful Lange Farm in Dade City.  They had a terrific team of vendors including Julissa of Beauty Brought Out for hair and makeup, Irene of For Better For Less for flowers, catering by Hungry Harry’s Bar-B-Que, Doug Decker from Grant Hemond as the DJ, and a cake from Chef Nelson’s Cake Studio.

It was wonderful to see all the ways that the couple personalized their wedding to reflect their personalities.  There were Gator details including the garter, a cookie cake, and orange and blue streamers on the get away car.  I am a bit juvenile, I know, but I giggled a little at the letters on the head table of the couple’s monogram, THC:).  Before Caitlin and Tim were introduced at the reception, a “referee” came in with a whistle holding a “2 Bits” sign.  The first dance started off like a traditional bride and groom dance and then the couple broke out into some fun dance moves!  The fun dancing continued throughout the night.  Guests at the wedding including people from the bride’s sorority and groom’s fraternity and both groups did their chants during the reception.  I absolutely loved the quote that they had decorating the wall.  It said, “Today two friends become one family.”  It was similar to a quote Jason and I used at our own wedding and it reminded me of the two of us as well!  It is so special when the person you love and will spend the rest of your life with is your best friend as well and it is obvious that Caitlin and Tim share that too.  We hope your friendship continues to grow stronger as you start your lives together now as a family!

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!

Elissa and Richard at the Lange Farm

Elissa and Richard were married at the Lange Farm on the Saturday after Thanksgiving.  They have been patiently waiting to see some of their images on our blog!  Mom was able to meet Elissa and Richard at our Christmas party this past Sunday and they were such a sweet and kind couple.  They are terrific together, and they had such a pretty wedding.  Julissa of Beauty Brought Out did Elissa’s hair and makeup and she looked gorgeous.  Rob Sword of Sword Sounds was the officiant and also the DJ for the reception.  Dad loves working with him.  It was an awesome day and we are so happy that we got to share in it with them.  Congratulations Elissa and Richard, and we hope you come again to next year’s Christmas party!

Jessica and Christopher at Siesta Key

On Friday dad was in Siesta Key for Jessica and Chris’s wedding.  They were married at the Palm Bay Club with their reception after at Michael’s on East.  We have to thank Jeff Mason for going with dad to the wedding to be a second photographer.  With our baby sister being about a week past her due date (and we are still waiting!) mom and dad were grateful to Jeff for agreeing to be there last minute just in case.

Jessica and Chris had a team of wonderful vendors.  Julissa from Beauty Brought Out was there for Jessica’s hair and makeup, the videographer was Brian from Fish Hook Entertainment and dad was happy to work with him again, the florist was Flowers by Fudgie, and Wayne DeLair of DeLair Entertainment was the DJ.  Dad says Wayne is a kind person and does a great job too.

Jessica is one of those brides who is stunningly beautiful and is also a  beautiful person.  She is incredibly nice and her smile makes everyone around her happy.  Together her and Chris are just terrific and dad was really happy that he got to be a part of their wedding day.  Thank you both so much, and we hope the fun and laughter of your wedding day only grows in your marriage!

Amanda and Caton at the Don CeSar

Last Saturday Amanda and Caton were married at the Don CeSar.  The couple had Beth of Flawless Occasions as the wedding coordinator and dad was happy to work with her again.  Dad was also excited to see Cara from Hearts Video who was there for the ceremony and some of the portraits.

The ceremony was in the courtyard and Amanda and Caton had John Melchinger from A Perfect Witness as their officiant.  Mom absolutely loved the orange color that the couple used throughout the wedding.  The bridesmaids’ orange dresses were really cute and the flower girls wore white with orange sashes.  The other details such as the chair bows, menus, and favor boxes brought together the orange theme very well.  RJ Vida of Advance Entertainment Productions was the DJ for the reception and kept Amanda on the dance floor most of the night.

Dad said Amanda was lots of fun!  Both Amanda and Caton are great people and have wonderful families.  Dad enjoyed being there to capture these memories for them.  Now if only the newlyweds would have decided to fly dad to Italy to document their honeymoon trip too!!:)
