Wedding at Sunken Gardens: Sylvia and John

When Sylvia and John stopped by a record store during their awesome engagement session it was just a little taste of what their wedding day would be.  They were married at Sunken Gardens and their day had a really fun music theme!  Desiree from Magical Plan-It Events was the planner and helped put all the details together.  Jason loves working with David and Kristina of Trinity Wedding Video who were there as the videographers.  They shared a Sneak Peek Film that helped to capture the wonderful day.  Sylvia had her makeup done by Beautiful You MakeupCarter’s Florist did the flowers for the day and the bridesmaids’ bouquets were pretty with black feathers under the flowers.  At the reception the caterer was Amici’s Catering, Chantilly Cakes made the wedding cake which had music notes as part of the decoration, and the DJ was Richard Blade who came from California.

Sylvia and John are such sweet people and their wedding was a blast!  The ceremony was just after sunset and the reception was a terrific celebration.  Jason came home from the wedding with so many great songs stuck in his head!  He said there was awesome music all night which you of course have to have when your wedding has a music theme.  The tables were framed album covers from a wide variety of bands.  Favors had a mini record attached that said “Take Me Home Tonight” (I love 80s music!)  Guests signed in on CD info pages that were put into a CD case.  On the tables were papers for guests to write music requests for the DJ.  Kids had fun with legos and coloring books and lots of dancing.  Jason was happy to see Jamie and Tristan who were guests at the wedding.  It was such a fun night for the bride, groom, and all of their guests!

Sylvia and John’s love for each other and their kind hearts are obvious to everyone who sees them.  We are so happy for them!  Congratulations newlyweds!

Kira and Peter at the Don Vicente

Kira stopped by our house a few days before her wedding and mom was amazed at how relaxed she was as she talked about plans for the wedding day. Dad said Kira and Peter were awesome at their engagement session as well and were up for everything dad suggested.

The wedding was on Saturday at the Don Vicente in Tampa. Dad got to work with Holliday with Plan-It! Events and said she was very helpful and organized. The DJ for the reception was Rob Sword who dad had worked with the day before as well!

When mom looked at Kira’s pictures, she got bridal envy. She loved Kira’s dress, jewelry, hair, rings…everything was so beautiful! It was really sweet that Kira’s mom was either laughing or crying throughout the day. Mom says that she is going to be just like that for our weddings!

The reception was candlelit and guests enjoyed their dinners at long tables covered in chocolate brown linens. After dinner, the dance floor was packed all night! It was a gorgeous wedding and we thank Kira and Peter for having dad there to capture it for them.

Allison Baylor (allisonbaylor@aol.com) did a wonderful job with the couple’s cake!

As the reception was ending, dad took the couple out to the streets and then back to the brick wall for a different take on their earlier pictures there.

Congratulations Kira and Peter!
