Wedding at Mixon’s in the Grove: Ashley and Sean

“True to me, kind to me, never deceiving; Cheering me, helping me, ever believing;

Sad for me, glad for me, never apart; Dear to me, near to me, Pal of my Heart.

Clean-hearted, true-hearted, all the way thru; Uplifting and tender, wonderful you!

Fair to me, square to me, life’s dearest party, -

Best to me, blest to me, Pal of my Heart.”

That is the poem that Ashley and Sean used at their wedding and gave to their guests on their personalized favors.  They were married at Mixon’s in the Grove which is a terrific location for a Florida wedding with its beautiful orange trees!  Jason always buys orange juice there but it never makes it home.

Oneco Florist did the flowers for the wedding which included the bride’s bouquet of white orchids.  At the reception the wedding cake was made by Matt and Dom’s.  The cake topper of a bride fishing for her groom was cute.  Jason thought it was even more fitting for the day because during the ceremony there was a bird in the background fishing as well!

Congratulations to Ashley and Sean!

Wedding at Mixon’s in the Grove: Mayumi and Ariel

Mayumi and Ariel had their Valentine’s Day wedding at Mixon’s In the Grove.  Dad loves going there for weddings!  It is such a beautiful place for Florida weddings.  Dad was with the bride and groom for a couple hours as they celebrated their ceremony and took pictures afterward.  They were a wonderful couple and their families were really nice as well.  We wish them both the very best in their future together!  Congratulations Mayumi and Ariel!

Wedding at Mixon’s In the Grove: Lena and Joel

What says Florida more than a wedding in an orange grove?!  Lena and Joel came from out of state to be married at Mixon’s In the Grove.  Dad always has a great time photographing weddings there!  He always brings home yummy orange juice for us.  Lena and Joel had an intimate wedding surrounded by close family and friends.  Dad loved taking the bride and groom into the orange grove for pictures!  Congratulations Lena and Joel, and thanks for including dad in your day!

Marisol and Neil’s Wedding at Mixon’s in the Grove

Mixon Fruit Farm in Bradenton is a fun place.  Dad takes us there to do the tour and see the rescued animals.  We love the big tortoise!  At the farm they have Mixon’s in the Grove for weddings.  It is an historic citrus grove which is wonderful as a background for a Florida wedding.  Dad photographed Samantha and Jason’s wedding there and we LOVE that Samantha’s picture is on the front cover of the Mixon’s in the Grove wedding catalog!

There are a few more of dad’s images in the catalog so be sure to look through it.  It is a terrific venue and dad was excited to be there again a few weeks ago for Marisol and Neil’s wedding.  They say it is good luck to have it rain on your wedding day so Marisol and Neil are going to have a great life together!  The rain moved the ceremony into the pavilion and the reception continued there.  Dad’s favorite part of the reception were the hand painted candies.  They were gorgeous!!  The candies were made by Divinia Jeanne’s Chocolate Heaven (941-366-5888).  Congratulations Marisol and Neal!

The hand painted candies were in a variety of colors, all absolutely beautiful!
