Wedding at the Rusty Pelican: Cheryl and Eric

We were so excited for Cheryl and Eric’s wedding!  They are friends with several other couples whose weddings dad has photographed so we knew not only would they be awesome, but their wedding would be lots of fun too!  They were married at the Rusty Pelican and dad enjoyed seeing Janida again.  Carmen’s Flowers was the florist, Digital Wave was the videographer, Absolute Entertainment was the DJ, and Chantilly Cakes made the couple’s wedding cake.

Cheryl and Eric are wonderful together and their family and friends were excited to be there to see them become husband and wife.  They are so in love!  Dad had a great time at the wedding and it was terrific to see Courtney and Adam again too!  Congratulations Cheryl and Eric, and we hope your honeymoon cruise was a blast!

Wedding at the Rusty Pelican: Corinne and Rick

Two weeks ago Corinne and Rick were married at the Rusty Pelican in Tampa.  Dad has enjoyed working with Janida there!  Julissa from Beauty Brought Out did Corinne’s hair and makeup.  The couple had the wonderful Rob Sword of Sword Sounds as their officiant and their DJ.  Stephanie of FishHawk Weddings was the florist and Chantilly Cakes made the wedding cake.  Corinne and Rick used bright pink to pop against black as their wedding colors.  It came together wonderfully!  Congratulations Corinne and Rick!

Tampa Wedding at the Rusty Pelican: Kathryn and Brandon

When Kristine of Fabulous Faces contacted us and told us that her sister was getting married, we were so excited! Kristine is awesome and mom had talked to her before about her wonderful family, so we knew that a wedding with her family was sure to be a great time.  Dad said Kathryn and Brandon were both just as kind and good-hearted as he thought they would be.  He joined them for their wedding two weeks ago with the ceremony at St. Raphael Catholic Church and the reception at the Rusty Pelican.

Kathryn looked so pretty as a bride!  Fabulous Faces of course did a great job with her makeup.  Mom liked the classic look of her gown, pearl earrings, and traditional bouquet.  Flowers were done by Lorilarson Flowers and they matched the bright purple color that the bridesmaids wore as well.  Dad always enjoys working with the talented Rob Sword of Sword Sounds so it was great to see him again as well.  The cake was made by Chantilly Cakes.

The sunset was amazing on Kathryn and Brandon’s wedding day.  As it fell below the clouds but over the horizon, it turned the sky red, orange, and purple.  It was a great backdrop for bride and groom pictures.  Congratulations Kathryn and Brandon!  It was an honor for dad to be there to share in the celebration with your family and friends.  Thanks for having him capture your memories!

Nicole and Matthew’s Wedding at the Rusty Pelican

On Saturday dad was at the Rusty Pelican in Tampa for Nicole and Matt’s wedding.  Just three weeks before he had seen Nicole and Matt at the Rusty Pelican when they were guests at Rachel and Chris’s wedding!  It was great to see Rachel and Chris again as guests this weekend.

A year ago dad photographed Nicole and Matt for their engagement session at the beach.  They were lots of fun and dad knew their wedding was going to be amazing.  The ceremony took place at St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Cathedral which was gorgeous inside.  Dad loves Greek Orthodox ceremonies and the traditions involved.  Nicole and Matt’s ceremony was mostly in Greek and dad said it was beautiful even if he couldn’t understand it.

The florist was Debbie of The Bride’s Bouquet and her centerpieces helped make the reception room look great.  Jose of Just OutStanding Entertainment was the DJ at the reception and the dance floor was busy all night.  Dad though the groom’s cake was creative.  It was a cat scan machine!  The wedding cake was beautifully detailed.  Cakes by Nomeda did a terrific job.

Dad said there were so many great people at the wedding!  Nicole and Matt have awesome friends and family and it was great spending the day with them.  Congratulations Nicole and Matt!  Have a “dam” good time on your honeymoon;-)

Rachel and Chris at the Rusty Pelican

Rachel and Chris were married on Friday at the Rusty Pelican in Tampa.  Dad photographed their engagement session in February and was happy to see them again on their wedding day.  The weather started out fine and the ceremony began outside by the water.  After the parents and wedding party made it down the aisle, Chris was anxiously awaiting his bride coming down the aisle…then the rain began.  The ceremony was quickly moved inside but Rachel and Chris were great sports and kept their smiles.

Nicole and Matthew were guests at the wedding and dad will see them again at their own wedding in just a couple weeks!  Congratulations Rachel and Chris, and enjoy your honeymoon!
