Wedding at the Ritz Ybor: Amanda and Geoffrey

Jason was excited to be a part of Amanda and Geoffrey’s wedding!  There were many other couples he knew from previous weddings that he was happy to see again, and he knew that Amanda and Geoffrey were lots of fun so the wedding was sure to be a great time!  It was an amazing day filled with gorgeous details and lots of laughs.

Amanda was stunning as a bride.  She is a hair stylist and co-owner at Trends by Devicci Salon and had other stylists from her salon there for hair.  Marissa Manisalco did the makeup.  Amanda’s gown was ridiculously beautiful!  It had just the right amount of embellishment and detailing.

The wedding was held at the Ritz Ybor.  Amanda and Geoffrey had a team of vendors that helped to bring their ideas to life.  The videographer was Jacques of Studios 76.  The red and purple flower arrangements were accented with black feathers.  Apple Blossoms Floral Designs did a wonderful job putting those together.  Tampa Lights did the drapes, along with Decoratively Speaking Events who did both draping fabric and decor.  The decor really helped to pull the look of the day together.  The ceremony was officiated by Rabbi Joel Simon and the DJ and MC for the reception was DJ Papi from Wild Out EntertainmentRigatoni’s Catering made the food which was really yummy but Jason said the highlight for the guests was that they were able to eat their menus!  They were big pieces of chocolate made by Chocolate Dreams and Wishes.  Decoratively Speaking Events also did the specialty linens which, along with the chiavari chairs from Busy Bee Chair Company, created an opulent and elegant look.  The cakes from Cakes A Go-Go included a tall and whimsical red and black cake and a UCF helmet for the groom’s cake.

Jason said the wedding was a blast!  He was happy to share it with some of his past couples and other great people.  You could see Amanda and Geoffrey’s personalities in the details of the day.  Not only did all of those details come together to create an absolutely gorgeous day, but everyone there was laughing and enjoying themselves all day long as well.  Congratulations to the newlyweds and thanks for having Jason capture these memories for you!

Wedding at Barrington Hill: Nicole and Nick

Nicole and Nick were married at Barrington Hill Farm in Dade City.  A farm is a beautiful place for a Florida fall wedding!  Ashly of Olivier Events helped to be sure the couple had an amazing wedding day.  Other vendors included Makeup by Ashley, Hungry Harry’s for the reception dinner, The Garden Cafe for a chocolate fountain with lots marshmallows, pretzels, strawberries, and other treats for dipping, a DJ from Breezin’ Entertainment and Productions, and gorgeous reception lighting by Tampa Lights.

The main wedding color was purple and it was used in the flowers, the wedding party attire, the favor boxes, the uplighting, and even the bride’s shoes.  There were hand-painted wooden signs pointing the way to the ceremony location and the reception.  It was the perfect detail for a farm wedding.  Nicole and Nick’s guests had a terrific time dancing and partying outside at the reception before the newlyweds left in a sparkler departure.  Congratulations Nicole and Nick!
