The bride, groom and family and guests from out of town stayed at the Lido Beach Holiday Inn, Sarasota, FL. This is also where they held the reception.  Sonja Newton, the Catering Sales Manager and her staff were awesome.  The room was beautiful and food was excellent.

Jerry Matos from 1st Class DJ Services provided the music on the beach for the ceremony and was the DJ for Amy and Timmer’s reception.  Jerry and his team were great to work with.  He is very professional and more importantly, really fun.  He kept the wedding party and all of the guests involved and dancing the entire night.

Amy and Timmer, Jeff Mason Photography would like to thank you for inviting us to share in your special day.  Nancy and I wish you many happy, healthy, and Blessed years together.

Here are a few images from their wedding.

Sarah’s son, Chase, was a little man and walked mom down the aisle.  During the exchanging of vows in addition to Jordan’s vow to Sarah he also gave a vow to Chase.  Jordan, that was awesome!

Sarah and the girls got ready for the wedding at Holiday Inn Harbourside, a very nice keywest style hotel on the inter coastal in Indian Rocks Beach.  Joe Farren played the keyboard, guitar, sang and DJ’d.  He’s a really talented guy and the music was great.

Sarah, Jordan, and Chase, thank you for inviting us to photograph your wedding.  Nancy and I wish you many happy, healthy, and Blessed years.

Their entire day was was intimate and shared only with family and a few friends.   The ceremony, just before sundown, was officiated by Charmaine Doumanian.  After the ceremony Katie, Chip and their family went to the water’s edge to tossed sea shells with prayers and blessing on them into the ocean.

We were there to photograph their day but I want to thank Katie and Chip and Katie’s mom, Sheryl for their kindness for inviting Nancy and I to join them for dinner at Shepard’s Beach Resort.  We were honored to be invited to join your family on this special day.  Thank you.

Here are a few imaged from Katie and Chip’s wedding.

Jon and Brandon from Groundup Films were the videographers and filmed the entire day.  I would like to see the finished product, these guys are good at what they do!  Jonathan “DJ J” Carissimo from No Boundries Entertainment kept things going as the Vanessa, Jason, and their guests partied into the night.

One of the things I enjoy about photographing weddings is that there are always traditions that get carried from one generation to the next.  Vanessa mentioned that she wanted a full-length portrait with her girls bouquets laying on her dress train.  This isn’t something that I get asked often so I knew there must a reason.  Sure enough, she told me that both her mother and her grandmother had been taken in the same pose and she wanted one as well.  That’s the power of photography, images of tradition that are shared and enjoyed from one generation to the next and I was able to give that to her.  Very cool!

Congratulations, Vanessa and Jason.

Joe from Lorenzo & Associates was the DJ and he kept the party going as Grazia, David, their families, and friends danced late into the night.

Congratulations, it was an honor to be invited to photograph your wedding.

Gloria from Grand Plaza did an excellent job, as usual, coordinating their event.  Their reception was in the Presidential Ballroom.  The makeup artists were from Michele Renee and they always do a fantastic job.  Danielle and the girls were gorgeous.  The ceremony was officiated by Michael DeArruda.  Grant Hemond & Assoc. provided the awesome music that kept the couple and the guests partying and dancing late into the night.

Congratulations, Danielle and Dan.  Here are a few of the pictures from your day.

It was another scorcher of a day but it didn’t bother Elizabeth or Adam.  Actually, I think Elizabeth is used to staying cool in the heat and under pressure.  Not only has she been planning for her wedding but she was also studying to take the bar exam…which she recently passed on the first attempt!

Congratulations to the two of you; I wish you many happy and healthy years together.

Being part of the community of photographers in our area I feel that it is important to work together with other studios.  I want to thank Paul from Chi Photography for providing the opportunity to work with Kathleen and Steven.

Here are a few of my favorite images from their day.

Ricky from Rhythm Makers DJ’s kept everyone on the dance floor.  Most of the bridal party knew each other from college and you could tell that they had done this party thing a few times before.  The gorgeous and delicious cake was created by A Piece of Cake – Tampa.

Here are some of my fav images from their day.
