Mr. and Mrs. Jason Polk! 11-28-09






Leslie and Jason had an amazing and fun fall wedding at Cypress Groves Estate House near Downtown Orlando. The groomsmen were sure to keep things amusing as they entered the ceremony by running in from various areas to the theme song of the A-Team! Then it was time for the moment they had been waiting for and the bride looked absolutely beautiful. The ceremony was a family affair with the Best Man's father presiding over the nuptials. Photo Booth Florida provided a great memory book for the bride and groom and a wonderful favor for their guests. Creative Cuisine served the delicious dishes at the reception, and the gorgeous cake was provided by Party Flavors. The venue was brought to life with the fabulous floral arrangements provided by Flowers by Lesley, and Brian Scott with Weddings Only DJ Entertainment kept the party going by playing a great mix of music that everyone could enjoy and dance to. Thank you to all the vendors who made this incredible day possible and a special thanks to Joe Daylor Photography for the amazing images that Leslie and Jason will treasure always.

Old Hollywood Love - Jeni and Alvin October 17th











From the first time I met with Jeni and Alvin, I knew this wedding was going to be beautiful and fun! And it did not disappoint. The ceremony was on a gorgeous sunny day at the Knowles Chapel in Rollins College with Jeni's uncle, Steve Bell, officiating the ceremony. Guests then traveled down the road to the reception location, Hannibal's On the Square, which was decorated in long royal style tables with luxurious dark blue and tan velvet chairs for seating. Candlelight set the romantic and elegant mood for the evening. Tommy Murphy from Greenery Productions provided all the floral for the ceremony and reception centerpieces. Instead of a DJ, Jeni and Alvin decided on a 3 piece band, Kirana Productions, Inc. that played classic standards and jazz style music throughout the night. When the band went on break, the music sped up with the help of a pre-recorded CD played through the venue's sound system. After guests dined on a 5 star quality dinner, thanks to Chef Vincent, the cake from Sprinkles was cut and served. At the end of the evening, friends and family said goodbye to the bride and groom with a grand sparkler exit! Thanks to all the vendors that made this amazing day possible, especially to Stephana from Bella Luce Photography for the amazing images that Jeni and Alvin will get to cherish always.

This Will Be An Everlasting Love!








Jessica and Wallace were such a great couple, and we couldn’t have been happier to have the chance to work with them. The day started with their family and friends gathered at the beautiful Harry P.

The centerpieces and floral were designed with rich and bold fall colors provided by Lee Forrest Deisgn. The lovely cake was provided by Annette’s Cakes, with its gorgeous designs and brown trimming. Capturing every moment of the night in video was Footprints Video, and in these great pictures Steve Yanni from Yanman Photography.

A Hint of Wine Country 11- 7-09






Brad and Diosa were such a pleasure to work with. They wanted to incorporate their mutual love for wine into their wedding, which, in a few special ways they were able to. Their ceremony was held at the Annunciation Catholic Church. Directly after, the guests made their way to the Embassy Suites in Downtown Orlando. The San Juan Ballroom was decked with candles and gorgeous green orchid centerpieces by Corrine Heck from Details Floral. The Bride and Groom began the night with a beautiful Spanish dance, then Freddy Sanchez from Soundwave Entertainment invited the rest of the guests on the dance floor for the rest of the night. The cake from Clara’s Bakery was truly a piece of art, with its simple design and sparkling accessories. Thank you to Rhodes Studios for capturing all the moments of the night with videography, and to Marc Harmon for providing us with these gorgeous pictures. Thank you to all the vendors we worked with, we enjoyed the opportunity.

The Embassy Suites in Downtown Orlando was the perfect location for this great couple to say their vows, then celebrate afterwards!

After the ceremony ended, the guests joined the bride and groom in the ballroom downstairs. Billy Hall’s Jazz Band entertained everyone as they danced and celebrated the rest of the afternoon.

Come Rain or Shine! Dorothy and Criag 10-10-09








Dorothy and Craig were so much fun to work with! Their fall wedding was filled with some unwanted weather, beautiful fall colors, family and friends. The guests gathered at the very statuesque Polasek Muesum for the ceremony. Although the clouds loomed over, our Bride gave the go ahead and Dorothy and Craig said their “I do’s” in the pouring rain. The guests were driven in a trolley from Mount Dora Trolley to the Winter Park Farmer’s Market, where the reception was held. They were greeted by gorgeous flower-filled pumpkin centerpieces, designed and provided by Tommy Murphy from Greenery Productions. DJ Scooter from DJ Scooter Services introduced the new Mr. and Mrs. Craig Malone, with a beautiful bride who showed absolutely no signs of rainfall! After the traditional first dances, the guests went straight for their meal. Dinner was catered by Cuisiniers, and for another fun twist on the night, a traditional pig roast was provided to the guests. The night went on with fun, music, and dancing, while the guests had a chance throughout the evening to have some fun in the Photo Booth hosted by Tish from Party Booths. The gorgeous cake shown above was made by the fabulous Party Flavors. Though the evening started out kind of bumpy, the rain was a distant memory the rest of the night. We would like to thank the photographers from Fat Catz Photography for capturing every moment from rainfall to nightfall, and thank you to all of the vendors. It was a pleasure working with you. Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Craig Malone!
