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.

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.

One of the most popular products from the engagement session is our Wedding Guest Signature Book.  This book goes beyond the typical guest book.  Not only does it have 20 pages of awesome pictures from the engagement session but I put questions on the pages that prompt the guests to write more than just their names.  Questions such as “When did you know that Rachel and Gordon were in Love”, or “Give us an idea for a date night”.  I have seen some really fun responses from guests.  These are books that the bride and groom can read and get enjoyment from for years to come.

Here is one of the books that I created for Rachel+Gorden who are going to be married on March 21.
