Wedding at South Seas Island Resort: Natalie and Robert

Sunday, November 27, 2011 12:18 am

Natalie and Robert came to Florida for their beautiful beach wedding at the South Seas Island Resort. They had Rob of AMC Video Productions as their videographer, Ruth of Captiva Blooms for flowers, DJ Jeff Key, and a wedding cake made by Kakes by Karen. After their sweet ceremony on the beach they took family pictures and then bride and groom pictures where the bright blue sky turned into a gorgeous sunset for the couple. The reception was a lot of fun with great food and a full dance floor.

Congratulations Natalie and Robert! It was a wonderful wedding day!

Wedding at the Clubhouse at Mediterra in Naples: Megan and Ross

Saturday, April 30, 2011 1:02 pm

Last spring dad photographed Megan and Ross’s engagement session at a mini golf course. They had such a great time and dad couldn’t wait to see them again for their big day! The wedding was in Naples at The Clubhouse at Mediterra. Megan had her hair and makeup done by Nancy and Michelle of the x Nancy Joseph Makeup Artistry. Dad was happy to be working with Trinity Wedding Video who was there as the videographer. The flowers were done by Westcoast Design Center and they were gorgeous. At the ceremony the couple had Seaside Strings for music and Rev. Les Wicker as the officiant. The reception music was played by a DJ from The Entertainment Source and the gorgeous cake and cupcake display was done by Kakes by Karen.

The wedding colors were pink, white, and silver and everything came together wonderfully. Megan looked amazing in her dress! It had romantic lace embellishments with a silver ribbon around the waist decorated with pearls and silver accents. Ross and the groomsmen wore gray suits with pink ties and the bridesmaids all wore a bright shade of pink. At the reception the linens were pink pintuck tablecloths with silver chairs around the tables. The pink table numbers were in silver frames and the centerpieces were in either silver bowls or tall silver vases. It was a beautiful spring wedding for a terrific couple. Congratulations Megan and Ross!

Monica and Michael’s Naples Wedding

Thursday, July 16, 2009 11:10 pm

On Saturday dad was in Naples for the wedding of Monica and Michael. They had booked with us a year ago and dad had talked to the bride’s mom, the bride, and the groom during the planning for the big day. Everyone had been great so dad knew the day was going to be wonderful.

Kelly with No Worries Weddings and Event Management was the couple’s wedding planner and was terrific with keeping things organized and stress-free for the couple. The ceremony took place at the Naples United Church of Christ which had gorgeous chandeliers as well as a pipe organ. The reception was at Vineyards Country Club and dad said it was beautiful as well. It was dad’s second weekend in a row working with Ian of Movie Magic Productions and dad enjoyed seeing him again. The florist was Botanicals on the Gulf and the reception had linens from Connie Duglin. Kakes by Karen made the cake which had pretty bows and flowers to decorate it. The reception music was from Fifth Avenue Music. Dad said they were a fantastic band and the guests all enjoyed the live music as well.

Monica and Michael are such an awesome couple. Dad couldn’t stop talking about how incredibly nice they both were! We are so happy for them and wish them happiness and love throughout their marriage. Thanks to you both and have fun in Mexico! Be sure to stay in touch!

Lisa and Joe in Sanibel

Thursday, April 30, 2009 10:53 pm

Though dad just got back from a trip to New York City without us, last summer we all got to go there on a family vacation. While we were there, dad met up with Lisa and Joe and photographed their engagement session. They are incredibly nice and lots of fun! Dad has been looking forward to their wedding ever since the session.

Saturday Lisa and Joe’s wedding day finally arrived! The couple had the wonderful wedding planners of Weddings by Socialites to help them with their day. Dad said they were terrific to work with! Rob and his team from AMC Video were the videographers and they were great as well. The couple had their ceremony at the Sundial Beach and Golf Resort with the reception following at the Sanibel Harbour Resort and Spa.

Dad loved seeing so many of the couple’s engagement pictures used at the wedding. The front of the reception room had a big canvas of the couple in Times Square on display. Tables were named by Italian words with a corresponding picture from the engagement session, and the guest book was an album of engagement images. It was a terrific way to personalize the reception and bring NYC to Florida.

Many of the guests were from out of town and came down to celebrate with Lisa and Joe and enjoy the Florida sun. The bride and groom set up lots of yummy treats for their guests including a sundae bar, cookies, a table with tons of candy, and a special surprise for everyone, a nutella station. Lisa and Joe, carrying giant spoons, brought out the nutella with the song Pure Imagination from Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory playing. Dad loves that song and thought it was an awesome choice! Guest favors were silver spoons to use with the nutella.

It was a wonderful day and we are so happy for Lisa and Joe! Congratulations you two, and be sure to stay in touch! Dad will probably be making another trip to NYC late this summer and hopes you can get together while he’s there.

The wedding party rode a trolley from the Sundial to Sanibel Harbour Resort.

One of the flower girls had the same unique Italian name as mom!

The kids at the wedding had so much fun at their special kids’ table. It was named “Ridere” which means laughter in Italian, and the engagement picture on the table marker is of Joe putting ice cream on Lisa’s face.
