Kevin and Lacey had quite the day at Crosley Estate in March. Beautiful location and decor, splendid food by Fete Catering, loving and festive family and friends – and a couple of major thunderstorms! All in all lots of fun, great images and a wonderful, playful couple who are really in love and didn’t let anything dampen their wedding day!

All the best to you, Lacey and Kevin!

A beautiful drizzly October day at Marie Selby Botanical Gardens in Sarasota. The raindrops did not dampen the love and enthusiasm (or Cassie’s surprise for Kevin) for this free-spirited, fun-loving pair, their families and friends. Stay inside, stay dry… or go for the outdoor, the drizzle, the protection of a majestic oak (no lightning of course!), the cleansing light rain and a beautiful view of Sarasota Bay… Take the plunge and go for the drizzle!!! The ceremony concluded with a Cassie-inspired surprise for Kevin: a brass ensemble that trumpeted The Beatles’ “All You Need is Love,” as friends and family held signs and sang along a la “Love Actually.” Such fun!!! The celebration continued into the evening with Cassie’s favorite candies, heartfelt toasts, hysterical slide presentation that drew laughter til the tears flowed, and dancing til the lights went out… AND, for holiday family gifts, Cassie had us design one-of-a-kind art prints with her favorite images from the day. Congratulations Cassie and Kevin! Long life, lasting love and happiness…
