Wedding at the Grand Plaza: Julie and Robert

Julie and Bob are so much fun and so in love!  They were married at the Grand Plaza Beachfront Resort in St. Pete.  Jason loves photographing weddings there and the people who work there are wonderful.  The wedding had a beach theme with starfish, shells, and blue as the main wedding color.  Marsha Marie Floral put together the floral arrangements.  At the ceremony guests were invited to take off their shoes and the couple had brushes so their guests could get the sand off of their feet when the ceremony was done.  At the reception, the DJ was Joe Lorenzo and the wedding cake was made by Cakes by Carolynn and it was a cupcake tower with the top tier as a small cake.  The bride and groom showed off their moves on the dance floor!  Everyone had a great time celebrating and partying!

Congratulations to Julie and Bob, and we hope the fun and happiness of your wedding day grows even more in your marriage!

Wedding at the Grand Plaza: Miranda and Dan

Miranda and Dan came from Canada to have their wedding on one of Florida’s beautiful beaches.  Their ceremony and reception were held at the fabulous Grand Plaza Beachfront Resort.  Flowers were done by Marsha Marie Floral and at the reception the DJ was from Grant Hemond.

The couple had their close family and friends there to share their day and celebrate.  Jason said the couple’s families were all terrific people and the bride and groom were so happy and wore the biggest smiles all day!  Jason was able to spend the day after the wedding with Miranda and Dan again for a Trash the Dress session.  Pictures of that are coming up next on the blog!

Wedding at the Grand Plaza: Nichole and Rizal

Dad was so happy to share in Nichole and Rizal’s wedding day!  He had spent time with the couple at their engagement session and saw Nichole again for her gorgeous bridal portrait session.  They are a terrific couple and dad had been looking forward to their big day at the amazing Grand Plaza Beach Resort.  Nichole chose big tropical flowers for her floral arrangements to go with the beach wedding theme.  Marsha Marie Flowers was the florist.  The DJ at the reception was from Expert Productions and Publix made the couple’s wedding cake.  The beach theme was seen not only in the flowers but also in the wedding colors.  The bridesmaids wore blue and the reception was decorated in blue and tan like the ocean and sand.  There were lots of big starfish decorating the ceremony and the reception as well.  Mom loved the engraving in the wedding ring.  It was “My Squishie” from the movie Finding Nemo.  Cute!

Nichole and Rizal had a first sight before the ceremony and did some bride and groom and wedding party pictures then.  That gave them time after the ceremony to do all their family pictures as well as some additional fun wedding party pictures and bride and groom pictures on the beach.  At the end of the night Nichole and Rizal went out with dad for a few minutes at night as well for pictures on the nearby streets.  Dad loved that they gave him time throughout the day for a variety of bride and groom pictures.  He had such a great time with them!

Congratulations Nichole and Rizal!  Dad is excited to see you both again for your next session!

Grand Plaza Wedding: Allison and Seán

As soon as dad saw the Star Wars groom’s cake at Allison and Seán’s wedding he knew they were his kind of people.  They were married on the beach at the Grand Plaza with the reception in the Presidential Ballroom.  The wedding colors were shades of purples and blues and Marsha Marie Florals created the floral arrangements in these colors.  The DJ at the reception was from Expert Productions and Cakes by Carolynn made the wedding cake.  The wedding day was filled with tons of laughter and fun, the friendships of the guests who came to celebrate the day, and of course the special moments Allison and Seán shared on the day that began their married life together.  The bride and groom are amazing people and fit perfectly together.  It was a wonderful wedding and dad loved being a part of it.  Congratulations Allison and Seán!  We hope Hawaii was a blast!

Wedding at the Grand Plaza: Julie and Bryan

Julie and Bryan are a really fun couple!  They came down from New York to have their wedding on a Florida beach.  Their wedding was at the always fantastic Grand Plaza.  Tom from Weddings on a Whim was the officiant, Marsha of Marsha Marie Florals did the flowers, Joe Lorenzo of Expert Productions was the DJ, and Publix made the cake.  The wedding had lots of shells and other beach details including star fish that the groom and groomsmen wore instead of boutonnieres.  There were also some fun Disney details since Julie and Bryan were headed to Disney World for their honeymoon.

Dad said everyone at the wedding was wonderful.  The couple’s family and friends were all so happy and friendly and surrounded the couple with love.  Congratulations Julie and Bryan, and we hope you carry all the love of your wedding day into all your days together as husband and wife.
