Joanna and John’s Twins are Baptized at St. Nicholas Cathedral

Dad photographed a newborn session for Joanna and John’s twin boys and they were adorable.  He was so happy to be there as they were baptized at St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church with a celebration afterward at Spartan Manor.  Chuck from Hearts Video was also there to capture the day.  Dad loved the baptism ceremony!  He said it was filled with tradition and history yet the church kept the rituals open to everyone so that the family could walk around and be part of it as well.  At the dinner after the ceremony there were pictures of the boys from their newborn session as the table numbers.  There were lots of toys for the kids on the tables too.  It was such a special day for the boys and their family!  Συγχαρητήρια!

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;-)
