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.

Brianna and Alex were married in the beautiful Sacred Heart Catholic Church in downtown Tampa.  This is one of the most magnificent churches in the area and dates back to 1905.  It was perfect for their wedding.

The reception was held at the Palmetto Club at Fishhawk Ranch.  The Palmetto Club is a favorite location for Jeff Mason Photography.  The ballroom is as nice, if not nicer, than any of the hotel ballrooms in the Tampa or St. Pete areas.  They have a walled garden with a large grassy area for events or wedding ceremonies and a veranda with seating that overlooks the garden.  Brianna and Alex made a good choice for the reception.  Amici’s Catered Cuisine served an outstanding meal to the wedding party and guests and their service was also outstanding, as usual.  All throughout the evening DJ Rick from Breezin’ Entertainment and Productions kept the music going and the people movin’.

Brianna and Alex, from your engagement session to your wedding day, we are honored to have been invited to be your photographers.  Nancy and I wish the two of you many happy, healthy, and Blessed years together.

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.

Drew and the guys had a fun idea.  They wanted to reenact the scene from the movie “Hangover” where they had to rush to get to the wedding and get dressed on the side of the highway.  Sounded like fun to me!  I didn’t really want to risk having an angry bride by getting her groom hurt so we found a stretch of road with very little traffic and played it out.  Have a look at the pictures, the guys were great.

Thank you for inviting us to share in your wedding, it was a true honor.
