Dad photographed Alicia and Jason’s engagement session in front of Raymond James Stadium back in November.  Their wedding was on Saturday at the Grand Plaza on St. Pete Beach.  It is a wonderful location and dad was excited he got to spend most of the weekend there for three different weddings!

Alicia was a terrific bride.  She laughed, she cried, she danced, she made silly faces.  Jason was great too and it was obvious how much he loved to see Alicia happy.  Both of them teared up during their vows on the beach.  Reverend Tom Greene (727-403-6308) was the officiant for the ceremony.  The couple had their ceremony at 10:30 am and the morning light was gorgeous.  With a morning wedding this time of year, the sky was a beautiful blue and the water looked amazing.  It made for beautiful pictures!

Rob Sword from Sword Sounds was the DJ and dad always enjoys working with him.  He does a great job.  The wedding color was pink with green accents and the couple brought the colors together in their centerpieces with vases filled with lime slices and green flowers under a bunch of bright pink Gerber daisies.  Mom loves fruit details at weddings!  Her and dad had a citrus theme for the day after brunch they had during their own wedding weekend.

The flower girl at the wedding had the same name that mom and dad have as their top choice for our little sister!  Dad said after hearing people say it all day he is even more sure about it, so I think we have finally settled on a name!

The bride’s parents gave dad a Thank You note that was so sweet!  It said:

“Jason, Thank you so much for all your wonderful help and beautiful pictures to memorialize Alicia and Jason’s engagement and wedding.  Alicia changed her mind on quite a few ideas about the wedding, but the one constant from the very beginning was who she wanted as her photographer!”

What a wonderful compliment!  Thanks so much to Alicia’s parents for that!  And of course thank you to Alicia and Jason for having dad there and letting him share your day.  Enjoy your honeymoon!

The sand ceremony had a frame with a picture from the couple’s engagement session.

Alicia’s dad could not stop looking at her with pride as he walked her down the aisle.

Look at the gorgeous sky and water for the pictures after the ceremony!  Morning weddings on the beach are so pretty!
