Wedding at the Davis Islands Garden Club: Amanda and Christopher

Amanda and Chris had their engagement session just one week before their wedding.  They were so excited for their big day to arrive and dad was happy to be there to share it with them.  They were married at the Davis Islands Garden Club.  This was dad’s third wedding in a row there yet every wedding was unique to that couple.  It is beautiful to see how every couple makes their day their own.

Dad met up with Amanda that morning as she was getting ready and was excited to see one of his past brides!  Savannah (springrrlie@aol.com) was there to do Amanda’s hair and dad got to catch up with her a bit.  Amanda also had the wonderful Julie Robbins of DS Make-up there for makeup.  Rob Sword of Sword Sounds was the officiant and then rocked it out as the DJ for the reception.  The bouquets were made by Thai-Rific Orchids and Chef Michael of Let Them Eat Cake made the cake.

Amanda and Chris were lots of fun and full of smiles.  We hope that happiness they share together grows through the years.  Congratulations newlyweds!

Stacy and Chi’s Wedding at the Sandbar

Last Saturday dad joined Stacy and Chi for their wedding on Anna Maria Island.  They had a fun engagement session back in May and dad knew they were going to have a fantastic wedding.  It was held at the The Sandbar which wedding guests always love because they get to eat dinner and dance with their feet in the sand.  David  of Trinity Wedding Video was there as the videographer and Rob Sword of Sword Sounds was the officiant and the DJ at the wedding.  They are both great and dad was happy to work with them again.  Thai-Rific Orchids did the beautiful flowers for the wedding, including Stacy’s unique cascading bouquet.

Stacy and Chi are headed to Paris for their honeymoon, but before they left they met up with dad a couple days after their wedding for a Trash the Dress session at the beach. We’ll have some of those pictures on the blog soon!

Farrah and Paul at the Tradewinds Island Grand

Farrah and Paul came from the UK for their destination wedding here on Wednesday.  It was held at the Tradewinds Island Grand on St. Pete Beach.  The wonderful Beth of Flawless Occasions was the planner for the wedding and dad had fun spending the day with her.  Dad also enjoyed working with Rob Sword of Sword Sounds.  He was the officiant during the ceremony and the DJ at the reception and he did a great job as usual.

It was a beautiful day for their wedding.  The skies were bright blue and almost cloudless.  It made it really hot, but it also gave the guests a view of our gorgeous Florida beaches.  The wedding colors were blue and pink and Farrah and Paul had amazing flowers custom painted to fit into the color scheme.  They worked with Thai-Rific Orchids and had bouquets, boutonnieres, and corsages that were orchids hand painted in bright pink.  They looked so pretty!

After the ceremony and cocktail hour, Farrah changed to a second dress and her and Paul cut loose on the dance floor!  They had a blast at the reception and the bride, groom, and their wedding party ended the night with a jump in the pool.  That’s the way to cool off after a night of dancing!

Thanks Farrah and Paul, and enjoy your holiday in Orlando!

When Farrah asked her friends to be bridesmaids, she made them personalized satin hangers for their dresses.
