Wedding at St. Paul Lutheran Church and the Florida Aquarium: Melissa and Joe

Jason came home from Melissa and Joe’s wedding and could not stop talking about how much fun he had and how awesome the couple and their wedding party was!  They were up for anything and had lots of creative ideas for their pictures.  They gave Jason enough time before the ceremony to go to different places and they had a blast every where they went!

Jason started the morning with Melissa and her girls.  Melissa’s makeup was done by Marissa and her hair was done by Amanda of Trends Salon.  Jason will be photographing Amanda’s wedding in the spring.  It is going to be an amazing day as well!  Melissa then had an idea for some pictures as a surprise for Joe and went to Hooters for pictures and wings of course:).  After Hooters they took some pictures around Downtown Tampa before Jason left to meet up with the guys at a cigar bar.  They had fun with their pictures in Ybor and then everyone headed over to St. Paul Lutheran Church for the ceremony.

The reception was at the Florida Aquarium with a DJ from Expert Productions and a cake from Publix.  Melissa and Joe had a classic black and white theme for their wedding attire and the all-white bouquets and boutonnieres were from Heather of Beautiful Floral Designs.  The reception was lit by candle light and pretty purple and blue uplighting.  After dinner the dance floor was packed!  The fake mustaches were a big hit with all the guests.  You know the party is a memorable one when people are taking shots from pink flamingos.

Congratulations to Melissa and Joe!  Jason loved you two and he had a terrific time spending your wedding day with you and your wedding party!  We hope you keep the laughter from your wedding day going throughout your married life.

Wedding at the Willoughby Golf Club: Damaris and Joseph

Damaris and Joseph had a pretty engagement session in the park this summer.  They are both such nice people and Jason was happy to join them for their wedding day.  They were married at the Willoughby Golf Club, a venue which is very fitting for them:).  The florist was Sylvia from The Flower Market and at the reception the DJ was from Party with Us Entertainment and the cake was from Publix.  The wedding colors were navy and yellow and Joseph took that to another level at the end of the night when he put on a banana outfit!  At the reception was a pretty framed art piece of a wedding tree with a navy bird and a yellow bird sitting on a branch.  A heart with the couple’s initials was carved into the trunk.  Guests made the leaves to the tree with their thumbprints and then signed their names.  It looked so pretty when it was done and it will be a wonderful memory of the wedding day when it is hanging in Damaris and Joseph’s home.

Congratulations to Damaris and Joseph!  We wish you a lifetime of happiness!

Wedding at St. Paul Catholic Church and Davis Islands Garden Club: Thelma and Gary

Thelma and Gary know how to bring together silly and sweet.  Jason loved their picnic engagement session and couldn’t wait to see them again for their wedding day!  The ceremony was held at St. Paul Catholic Church and the reception was in Tampa at the Davis Islands Garden Club.  The morning of the wedding, Jason joined Thelma as she had her makeup done by Alicia from Jazzy Jewels Parties.  Thelma started off the day smiling and never stopped!  It is a beautiful thing to see a couple so happy and in love.

Thelma and Gary gave Jason enough time to walk around the streets of Tampa taking fun and creative bride and groom pictures without feeling rushed.  That always makes Jason happy!   The flowers came from Publix, the caterer was Catering by Robert, and the cake was from Sweetopia Bakery.  One of the wedding cake flavors was pumpkin cake with cream cheese filling.  How perfect for an autumn wedding!  Jason thought it was really sweet that the couple put a thank you message to their vendors on their menu.  They are such a great couple and we are honored that we were able to be part of their wedding day.  Congratulations newlyweds!

Wedding at the A La Carte Pavilion: Kim and Keith

Jason photographed Kim and Keith’s engagement session the month before their wedding and he was happy to see them again on the big day.  The wedding was held at the A La Carte Event Pavilion and Ashley there also did the flowers.  Kim and Keith had Chad Whelan as their videographer and Jason always has a fun time working with him.  The Michele Renee Hair and Makeup Artist Group was there for Kim’s hair and Lindsey McCall did Kim’s makeup.  At the reception Curtis of Inpulse Entertainment was the DJ and the cake was from Publix.

All the detailing on Kim’s gown was stunning and Kim wore it beautifully.  It was wonderful for Jason to be able to capture the emotion both Kim and Keith felt that day.  There was a perfect balance of tears and laughter.  Jason was also happy to see Courtney and Adam at the wedding too!  Congratulations to newlyweds Kim and Keith and all the best to them both as they start the journey of a long and happy marriage!

Wedding at Sacred Heart Catholic Church and the Westin Harbour Island: Anna and Jeff

Anna and Jeff exchanged their wedding vows at Sacred Heart Catholic Church and celebrated afterward with a reception at the Westin Tampa Harbour Island.  The wedding flowers looked beautiful!  The arrangements almost looked ruffled and there were lots of white orchids used.  The florist who put it together was Fairytale Weddings and Events by Shelly.  At the reception Anna and Jeff had Southtown Fever for their live music and they were sure to keep the dance floor busy all night.  The cake was from Publix Greenwise and it too had a ruffled look similar to the flowers.  All the details helped to create a beautiful wedding day.

The newlyweds are a wonderful couple.  Jason said that throughout the day he would see this look on their faces of being completely in love and so happy.  Anna and Jeff, many blessings to you both for a long and happy life and marriage!
