Jason Angelini — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 20:09:39 +0000

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!

Congratulations to Stefanie and Patrick! They were married at St. Thomas More Catholic Church in Sarasota with their reception following at the Chelsea Center.

Wedding at the Marie Selby Botanical Gardens: Michelle and Eric

Jason Angelini — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 22:29:25 +0000

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.

In Just Two Days…

Dad’s second session the Sunday before last was with Allison, James, and their adorable little girl. This family is very special to us. Dad has photographed their wedding, maternity session, their daughter’s newborn pictures, baptism, family sessions and more, and now they are expecting their second baby. It is a special gift to share in so many important moments in the lives of a growing family. They have become friends of ours and we cannot be happier for them! The day before the session was their daughter’s 3rd birthday. Just two days after this session, they welcomed their beautiful baby boy into their family!!! We are so excited to meet him for his newborn session very soon! Congratulations to Allison, James, and the new big sister. Many blessings to your amazing family!

Little did Allison know that as she looked at her belly and imagined what it would be like to meet her son, he would be there in her arms less than 48 hours later!

This is the tattoo James got of his daughter drawn from one of the pictures dad had taken of her! How awesome is that!!

Mom LOVES this one!

Suzanne and Brian’s Sarasota Engagement Session

Jason Angelini — Sat, 16 Jan 2010 08:49:43 +0000

Dad met Suzanne and Brian in Sarasota for their engagement session. It was a cold morning but Suzanne owns an ice cream shop in New Jersey where they live so our Florida version of winter didn’t phase them. We wish we were available to photograph their wedding but we know it is going to be wonderful. Best of luck to you both!

Caroline and David’s Engagement Session

Jason Angelini — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 06:52:56 +0000

Caroline and Dave are so sweet together! Dad met up with them early Sunday morning for their engagement session in Sarasota. Caroline’s parents came to help with a Vespa that the couple was using for the pictures. Dad has emailed with Vicki, Caroline’s mom, and he was excited to finally meet her. She was just as kind in person as she has been in emails and in her wonderful blog and facebook comments .

Caroline and Dave are good-natured and down-to-earth people, and dad said you could easily tell that they were not only completely in love with each other, but best friends as well. With the two of them and their families all being such nice, happy people, their wedding is going to be an incredible day!

Dave was really driving with his eyes closed! Dave be careful!!

Silvett and Horton’s Wedding at the Powel Crosley Estate

Jason Angelini — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 08:16:28 +0000

Silvett and Horton live in New York but came down to Florida for their wedding in Sarasota. They came down a few months before and had their engagement session with dad. They are a really nice couple and dad was happy to see them again at their wedding on Sunday at the Powel Crosley Estate. It was the second day in a row that dad got to work with Darla Stafford. She was there for the girls’ hair and makeup and she did a fabulous job as always. Silvett and Horton also had Elegant Designs by Yelena Riches as the florist and the cake was made by Beautiful Cakes by Ron.

Silvett and Horton put together a gorgeous wedding! There were beautiful details all over. Mom liked the hanging pomander flower balls and the origami table assignments for the guests. There was a book with the couple’s engagement images telling the story of how they met and began their relationship, and they also had cool panorama strips of the pictures on all of the guests’ napkins. One really great idea was a sketch on canvas that the couple had out next to glasses holding paint and paintbrushes. There was a sign asking guests to help fill in a grid on the sketch so that the couple would end up with a painting they could use as art to hang in their apartment. What a special memory to create and display in your home! Guests were also asked to write down a wish, some wisdom, or a hello for the bride and groom and place them in one box for the honeymoon and another for the first anniversary.

During the reception, Silvett changed into a red Asian dress. The cake, table assignments, and other details also gave the wedding an Asian theme. Silvett’s red dress and heels looked amazing as the night ended and she left with Horton in a bright red convertible. Thanks Silvett and Horton for having dad there for your wedding! You did a terrific job putting everything together. Congratulations!

Guests were given parasols for shade from the hot sun during the ceremony:

Mom absolutely loved the romantic lace on Silvett’s veil and the silk bow and pick-ups on the back of her gown:

The roasted pig looked like he was chillin’ with his shades on:
