Wedding at St. Leo Abbey and the Lange Farm: Dawn and Brandon

Jason photographed Dawn and Brandon’s engagement session in the spring and he was happy to join them again for their wedding day!  They were married in a ceremony at the beautiful St. Leo Abbey and their reception was held at The Lange Farm which has so many places for great pictures.  Pam Verschuere put together the flowers for the wedding and at the reception Dawn and Brandon had Rob from Grant Hemond as the DJ and Luigi’s Catering for the food.

Navy and white were the wedding colors with some silver accents as well.  The couple used their monogram with an anchor on details like the candle lanterns, the favor tags on the yummy treats for each guest, and the candy buffet containers.  Everything looked wonderful and it was a terrific day!  Congratulations to Dawn and Brandon and we hope Costa Rica was awesome!

Mandy and Jim

On Friday dad joined Mandy and Jim as they celebrated their wedding day.  Mom and dad both think it is wonderful that Mandy and Jim have a strong connection to their faith.  It is sure to strengthen the bonds of their marriage!

The bride got ready at Saddlebrook Resort and dad loved Mandy’s dress, shoes, and her hair accessory.  She looked unique and classic at the same time.

The ceremony took place at St. Leo Abbey.  Dad loved this church and the whole area around it.  He wants our family to go to Mass there one Sunday.

Lange Farm is one of dad’s very favorite locations and he was happy to be back there for the couple’s second ceremony and reception.  The second ceremony, held after dark on the lawn,was for more friends and family to attend and witness the couple’s vows.  Doug Decker from Grant Hemond was the couple’s DJ and did a great job as usual.  Guests who wanted to enjoy the beautiful October weather were able to go outside to a bonfire to roast marshmallows and make smores while listening to a guitarist play music.

Congratulations Mandy and Jim!  We wish you the very best!
