Ashlee and Matthew’s Sarasota Wedding

With the help of their family and friends, Ashlee and Matt put together a beautiful New Year’s Eve wedding at a private residence in Sarasota.  It was a wonderful afternoon celebrating the love of Ashee and Matt and the start of their married lives together.  The wedding had a rustic charm with lemonade at the ceremony, long tables for the reception dinner, and purple and green flowers accented with peacock feathers.  Jason was happy that he was able to be there to share in the couple’s wedding day.  Thanks for having him there Ashlee and Matt, and all the best to you both in your future together!

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 Ritz-Carlton in Sarasota: Kristy and JP

The colors of sunset in the sky on the Florida beaches this time of year are breath-taking.  Kristy and JP were married as the sun was starting to go down and had their first pictures as husband and wife with those beautiful sunset colors.  Their wedding was held at The Ritz-Carlton, Sarasota with the ceremony under a pavilion decorated in fabric, petals, and floral arrangements.  Exotica Florist put together the flowers of oranges, pinks, and green accents.  Kristy wore a romantic gown with lace covering the bodice and a silk ribbon sash decorated with beading.  Cari from Kyle Lynn Weddings was there for hair and makeup and Kristi wore her hair down in soft curls under her veil.  Her look went perfectly with her gown!  Rob Sword from Sword Sounds was the DJ at the reception and dad looks forward to weddings with him.  He always does a terrific job.  Dad said the food was very yummy and the guests all seemed to enjoy it a lot as well.

The love that Kristy and JP share is obvious to anyone who spends any time with them.  We are so happy for them with all they have to celebrate and look forward to as they start their lives together!  Congratulations newlyweds!

Wedding at the Marie Selby Botanical Gardens: Michelle and Eric

Intimate weddings are always a great mix of both emotion and romance with fun and celebration!  Michelle and Eric’s wedding was no exception.  They were married at the Schimmel Wedding Pavilion at Marie Selby Botanical Gardens.  Karen of Karen’s Violins played the music and Flowers by Fudgie was the florist.  We are always fans of a birdcage veil and Michelle looked beautiful and classic in hers.  She also wore gorgeous and fun bright green heels and Eric matched with his green striped socks.  The officiant was Grace of A Wedding with Grace and she was wonderful.  The ceremony was so sweet and many of the guests were in tears as they felt the connection Michelle and Eric shared.  Congratulations to Michelle and Eric and we hope the joy of your wedding day only grows as years go on.
