Angela and Carlos were married last Monday at the Powel Crosley Estate in Sarasota.  Angela’s sister-in-law is Mollie Grady, a wedding and portrait photographer in Sarasota.  Mollie has a little girl and one day we are going to have a play date!  Dad enjoyed seeing Mollie again at the wedding.

The wedding colors were white and green which brought out the organic look of the start of Spring.  There were lots of floating candles and hydrangea.  The larger floral arrangements had long branches coming up from them.  Eddy Lugo, a classical guitarist, played during the ceremony which a family member officiated.  He also played at the start of the reception before Sean Dennison took over the music.  Every table at the reception had bottles of wine with labels personalized with the couple’s pictures.  As favors, guests were given a tree seedling in a pretty satchel tied with a bow.  At the end of the night dad said it was fun to watch the couple and their son leave the Crosley in a boat!  What a great departure.

Mollie had photographed Angela’s getting ready before dad arrived so dad started the day with some portraits.  Here is the lovely bride, Angela:

Thanks so much to Mollie for recommending dad to Angela, and for being great at the wedding!  And of course thanks to Angela and Carlos for having dad share in their day.  Congratulations newlyweds, and have fun in Panama!
