Wedding at the Clearwater Beach Marriott: Siobhan and Tony

Siobhan and Tony are really incredible people.  They are so friendly and welcoming!  Dad had a great time celebrating their wedding day with them and their families.  The ceremony was held at Sand Key Park.  Hanging shells and starfish decorated the square bamboo “arch” and flower petals lined the aisle.  Siobhan carried a gorgeous pink and white bouquet made by Debbie of The Bride’s Bouquet.  It looked great with her fabulous pink shoes!  We think every bride should add a splash of color into her wedding day attire whether it be the shoes, the crinoline, or something else.

The reception was held at the Clearwater Beach Marriott.  The DJ was James of Grant Hemond and Associates and it was dad’s first time working with him.  Publix made the cakes including the groom’s cake which was covered in chocolate covered strawberries!  Mmmmm, chocolate covered strawberries…  Guests had a great time watching a traditional Irish dance performed by the bride’s cousins.  Looking at the pictures, mom was amazed that they could jump and kick like that and still keep their balance!

Siobhan and Tony, you have a terrific family and we wish all of you lots of happy times to come.  Congratulations!

Yes, it was so good it deserved two pictures.

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;-)

Ruth and Gregory at the Rusty Pelican

Mom and dad are so jealous of Ruth and Greg.  Not only did they have a beautiful wedding on Saturday, but they are going to Italy for their honeymoon!  We hope they have a wonderful trip.

Their wedding took place at the Rusty Pelican in Tampa and the couple had Beth of Flawless Occasions as their coordinator.  We’d like to send a special thanks Chris from Erin and Chris Photography for shooting with dad at the wedding!  Ruth and Greg’s other vendors included Debbie of The Bride’s Bouquet, Jodi from Grant Hemond, and Chantilly Cakes.

Ruth and Greg had a wedding party which had 25 people plus the bride and groom!  It still doesn’t break dad’s record for largest wedding party (34 people total), but it comes close.  Though the ceremony was supposed to be outside at the gazebo, the weather pushed things inside.  However, things cleared up in time for dad to bring the couple out for sunset pictures.  Ruth and Greg also added extra coverage time so that they could go to downtown Tampa for more bride and groom pictures when the wedding was over.

It was a terrific wedding with pretty details, a yummy candy bar, and of course lots of love and fun.  Congratulations Ruth and Greg, and dad says if you need a photographer in Italy he’d be happy to go with you:).
