Wedding at the Florida Aquarium: Kimberly and Jimmy

Kim and Jimmy, otherwise known as Jimberly, had their wedding at the The Florida Aquarium.  It is a terrific venue to have a wedding that reflects Florida without having a beach wedding.  Before going to the aquarium, Kim had her hair and makeup done at ManTrap.  The couple had Ian of Movie Magic Productions as the videographer and he is wonderful to work with and does a great job.  Flowers were done by Lorilarson Flowers.  Rob Sword of Sword Sounds was the officiant and the DJ.  Jason always enjoys working with Rob and he is terrific at what he does.  The wedding cake was from Publix on Bayshore.

Jason had a blast at this wedding!  Kim and Jimmy are an awesome couple and so fun to be around.  Many of their guests were people dad knew from past and upcoming weddings, including Sarah and Rob and their adorable son.  The details Kim and Jimmy chose were perfect for an aquarium wedding.  Kim carried a bouquet that was filled with bling!  The flowers were all crystals and the base was wrapped in white and blue ribbon.  Kim’s shoes were glittery with lots of crystals as well.  All of the rhinestones looked like the reflection of light on water which was beautiful at an aquarium wedding!  The bridesmaids wore gowns in a gorgeous blue color to go with the water theme as well.

Congratulations Kim and Jimmy!  We are so happy that we were able to be part of your wedding day and we hope you keep in touch!

Wedding at the Powel Crosley Estate: Heather and Anthony

Jason photographed Heather and Anthony’s engagement session in February and was happy to see them again on their wedding day at the beautiful Powel Crosley Estate in Sarasota.  The wedding day was a bit rainy and gray but the mix of colors the couple used brightened up the day.  Bridesmaids wore blue dresses and carried white bouquets but each of them had bouquet ribbons and shoes in either yellow, purple, blue, or pink.  The groomsmen also each wore one of those colors for their ties.  At the reception, centerpieces, favors, and the framed table names also used the fun bright colors.

The flowers were done by Yelena of Elegant Designs.  Grace of A Wedding with Grace is always a wonderful officiant.  The food at the reception was from Sarasota Catering Company and the wedding cake was done by Publix.  The DJ for the wedding was Isaac of Ikeman Entertainment.

Heather and Anthony, we hope you enjoyed your European honeymoon!  Congratulations to you both on your marriage!

Wedding at the Dolphin Beach Resort: Samantha and Christian

Dad photographed Samantha and Christian’s beautiful engagement session at Honeymoon Island.  They had their beach wedding at Dolphin Beach Resort and it was a beautiful day!  Samantha wore a gorgeous one-shoulder gown with rhinestone embellishments on the strap.  Bridesmaids wore dresses that were coral in color to match the pink and orange wedding colors.  Many of the flowers were orchids and Heather from Rose Garden Florist put those together.  At the reception guests rocked out to the band Roctopus who were a lot of fun and inspired many great dances moves that night.

Samantha, Christian, and their wedding party had a blast on the wedding day!  Dad loved that they were all up for anything.  When doing some of the wedding party pictures they spotted a muscle builder on the beach.  One of the groomsmen approached him and asked him to be in a picture and before dad knew it the guy had lifted a bridesmaid up with one arm while he made muscle poses!  You never know what is going to happen when you get married on the beach during the busy summer season:)

Congratulations Samantha and Christian!  You had such a fun wedding and we hope the fun continued in Cabo!

Wedding at the Sirata: Tanya and Jon

Tanya and Jon came from Canada to have a summer wedding on a Florida beach.  Their wedding was held at the Sirata Beach Resort.  Irene from For Better For Less does a wonderful job with flowers and she was the florist for the wedding.  Amanda of Pink Fiddle played the violin at the ceremony.  At the reception the DJ was from Grant Hemond and the cake was from Publix.

Tanya and Jon had their First Sight before the ceremony and then met their family and wedding party on the beach for pictures.  They joined their guests at the reception right after the ceremony and then stepped out for a few minutes at sunset for more bride and groom pictures.

Congratulations to Tanya and Jon and thanks for having dad there to capture your day!

Wedding at the Don Vicente de Ybor: Emina and Anthony

Emina and Anthony had a beautiful vintage style wedding at the Don Vicente de Ybor.  Anthony looked stylish in his classic tuxedo and bowtie.  Emina was an absolutely beautiful bride!  Mom loved her bird cage veil fastened with a flower and feather.  For dancing at the reception, Emina changed from her wedding gown into a one-shoulder shimmery white dress.

Emina and Anthony had a First Sight before the ceremony.  It was really sweet to see them smile and embrace and take in the moment.  They did their family and wedding party pictures before the ceremony and afterward they were able to enjoy time alone together for their bride and groom pictures.  To go with the vintage look of the wedding the couple had a classic car to use in their images.  Dad got a few more bride and groom pictures on the streets of Ybor after dark when Emina was in her party dress.

The couple’s team of vendors included Georgia Watson of Weddings by Georgia as the coordinator, hair and makeup from the Michele Renee Hair and Makeup Artist Group, Trinity Wedding Video as the videographer, flowers from Whole Foods, Robert from A Perfect Witness as the officiant, linens from Connie Duglin,  DJ Eladio from Delite Entertainment, and the wedding cake from Publix Greenwise.

Congratulations to Emina and Anthony!  We hope you are having an amazing time honeymooning in Europe!
